Reindeer Sweetness!

Happy Tuesday!

Welcome to the first day of our "Christmas Cheer" Release over at High Hopes Rubber Stamps! I hope you enjoyed the week of sneak peaks from our Design Team.  There are so many adorable stamps for you to play with! Today I'm sharing "Reindeer Sweetmess" and the sentiment called "Oh Deer". These two make the cutest friends don't you think?!

To start, I stamped my image onto some Copic friendly paper and coloured "Reindeer Sweetness" in with  my Copic Markers. Then using my Brother Cut N Scan, I cut around the image leaving a small white border. I chose papers from the Echo Park "Merry and Bright" 6x6 collection. I decided to edge all my papers using some Distress Ink in Vintage Photo for a bit of dimension. I popped the image up with foam squares over my die cut. A bit of pink ric rak ribbon, stickles on her hat and scarf and a snowflake gem, finish off my card design today.

Skin: E00, E21, E11, R20

Hair & Gift: Y21, Y23, Y26

Happy Halloween!

Howdy Friends!

I can't believe it's the end of August already. Boy the months sure fly by! For my card today I am using the adorable "By The Moonlight" and the "Block Happy Halloween" sentiment from High Hopes Stamps.

I started my card design by first stamping the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Then taking my Copic Sketch markers, I coloured the image in. I decided to cut the image out using my Brother Cut N Scan. I chose to use papers from the Bella Blvd "Spooktacular" 6x8 collection. Those pumpkin faces make me giggle! For the sentiment I coloured it in and then cut around it using my Brother Cut N Scan. By mistake it cut around the words separately instead of one cut. I just went with it LOL and placed them separately. 

Copics Used:

Cat: T6, T8, T9, R22

Mouse: C1, C3, R02

Moon: YR04, Y35, Y38

Fence: E43, E44, E47

My paper choice today is from the Echo Park "Trick or Treat" 6x6 collection. After stamping and colouring my image with alcohol markers, I cut it out using a Gina Marie "Loopy Square" die.

Happy Halloween!

Hello!

Popping in today to share another Halloween card! We're celebrating Fall/Halloween over at High Hopes Rubber Stamps, this month. I love this cutie called "Chester & Friends", his hat just makes me smile. And the cat with the racoon mask....too cute!

I love the fun, colourful and bright papers from the Doodlebug Ghost Town 6x6 collection. I stamped, coloured and cut "Chester & Friends" out using my Brother Cut N Scan and then popped it up with foam squares. I love adding foam squares to things as it helps give the card depth and dimension. I used the HH sentiment called "Happy Halloween Script", stamping it inside the frame. A few black enamel dots finish off my card.

Frightfully Delightful!

Hello Friends!

August is all about Halloween over at High Hopes Rubber Stamps! Here's a cutie called "Boo Pals" with some traditional Halloween characters. That ghost and cat look more cute than scary, so the sentiment called "Frightfully Delightful" is perfect for this image.

After stamping my image, I coloured it in with my Copic Sketch markers. Using my Brother Cut N Scan, I cut the image out.  I popped the image up with some foam squares for a bit of depth and dimension. Today's papers are from the Craft Consortium "Happy Haunting" 6x6 collection. A tree and fence die cut along with some Doodlebug spiders finish off my card.

Copics Used:

Tombstone: W1, W2, W3, W5

Ghost: C00, C0, C1, C2

Cat: T1, T3, T6, T8, T9/ R01, R02

A Wee Bit Wicked!

 Happy August!

This month the theme over at High Hopes is Happy Halloween/Fall. I am using this adorable stamp called "Kitty In Training". I wonder what witch secrets she's telling her little kitty friend! 

 

I stamped my image on Copic friendly paper and then coloured it in using my Copic Sketch markers. I decided to use papers from the Brutus Munroe Haunted Mansion 6x6 collection. I cut the image out using my Brother Cut N Scan. I love the HH sentiment called "Wicked". I can't imagine either one of these cuties is wicked at all lol! Some die cut bats and glitter pen finish off my card.

Filled With Love!

Happy Tuesday!

Welcome to another card for the "Christmas in July" release over at High Hopes Stamps! If you haven't stopped by the online store, you must, there are so many adorable stamps in this release! I get to play with the adorable "Penguin Love" today! I've said it before, but my Grandma loved penguins! Everytime I see one, it brings back warm and fuzzy feelings! Gosh I miss her so much!

I decided to use non-traditional colours for my card today! I just thought the Photoplay "Kringle & Co" 6x6 collection was perfect for these cuties! I just love the black and red combination! I stamped my image, coloured it with my Copic markers and then cut it out using a die. I decided to use the High Hopes "Sm Script Filled With Love" sentiment a bit different than it comes. I stamped it and then cut it in half so I could place it on the top and bottom of my card. Some Crystal Stickes on the hats and glitter pen on the iceberg finish off my card.

Copics Used:

T0, T1, T6, T7, T9

R24, R27, R29/ R39, R56, R59

Birthday Wishes!

Happy Tuesday!

It's "Christmas In July" over at High Hopes Stamps! I have lots of friends that have birthdays in December, so instead of making this a "Christmas Card", I decided to make it a birthday card! High Hopes "Lil' Snowbird" is beyond adorable and perfect for one of my Besties!

To start, I stamped my image onto Copic friendly paper and coloured it in with my Copic Sketch markers. I am using papers from the Bella Blvd. "Santa Squad" 6x6 collection. I chose papers from this designer collection that didn't scream Christmas and they were perfect for my Birthday theme. Using a Gina marie Double Looped Oval die, I cut out the coloured image. I thought the High Hopes "Bird Told Me" sentiment was perfect for this image! A white gel pen was used to make polka dots on her bow and mitts to match with the ribbon bow I made. Some Stickles and glitter pen add that touch of sparkle I love so much!

Copics Used: 

Skin: E00, E21, E11, R20, R22

Hair: T6, T7, T9

Outfit: RV55, RV66/ YG01, YG03, YG17

Bow: R35, R37, R39

Snow: B0000, B000, B00

Ho Ho Ho!

Hi!

I hate to say it, but before we know it Santa will be on his way to all the good girls and boys (parents too)! Since we are celebrating "Christmas In July" with the Christmas re-release over at High Hopes Rubber Stamps, I had to make at least one card with Santa in it! This is the super cool "Santa's Here" red rubber image.

A simple design today using papers from the Doodlebug "Nite Before Christmas" 6x6 collection. I stamped "Santa's Here" with Memento ink onto some Copic Friendly paper. Using my Copic Sketch markers, I coloured Santa in. I decided to use a tag die and put it on a bit of a slant for some added interest.  Some enamel dots and Stickles on the fur trim finish off my card.

I used the High Hopes sentiment called "Ho Ho Ho", but I fussy cut them out using my manicure scissors and then popped them up with foam tape. Here you can see the added dimension it brings to my card.

Copics Used:

Reds: R35, R46, R59

Black/grey: C00, C0, C1, C3, C6, C7, C9

Skin: E21, E11, R20

Chimney: E08, E95, E97, E99

Santa Sack: E31, E33, E35

Sack Contents: E25, E29, Y35, Y38, RV55, YG03, YG17

Think Snow!

Hello!

It's a little hard to think "Christmas in July" especially with all the hot humid weather we've been having LOL! But that's what the Design Team is doing over on the High Hopes Blog! Lora has opened the vault and re-released a fun Christmas collection. What better time to get a jump start on your Christmas cards then now, when we are spending time cool in the house with the A/C on! Snowmen are one of my favourite Christmas/Winter images and this darling is called "Let's Skate" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps.

I decided to use papers from a very old Bo Bunny collection called "Snowfall". I've been hoarding it for years, as I love the blues and brown tones together. After stamping my image onto Copic friendly paper, I coloured the image to match my papers. I took a White gel pen and added some fun polka dots to her hat and mitts. Next using a stitched oval die, I cut out the coloured image. I decided to ink all the edges of my papers with Distress Ink in Vintage Photo to add more interest and dimension. Some snowflakes with the High Hopes "Think Snow" sentiment add to my card design. Everything ties together with the ribbon and matching enamel dots.

Copics Used:

C0, C1, C3

B91, B93, B95, B97

E31, E33, E34, E35, E57, E79

YR04, YR07, T01, R22, R46, R56
