Easter Greetings!

Hello!!

The "vault" has opened again over at High Hopes Rubber Stamps and yesterday was the start of the "Spring Fever" re-release. This image called "Bunny Hugs" is just so cute. It reminds me of myself when I was young. My Dad loved my sister and I to have long hair so I coloured this image to match. I also had a favourite pink stuffed bunny but I never had bunny ears LOL!

I decided to use a background die for my main paper today. I have so many and always forget to use them. This background die is from Lawn Fawn and is called ""Quilted Backdrop". I stamped my image onto Copic friendly paper and coloured her in with  my Copic Sketch markers. Using my Brother Cut N Scan, I cut the image out and placed her on top of the circle die that was cut from some designer paper from the Echo Park "Hello Easter" 6x6 collection. I love the handwritten look to the "Script Easter Greetings" sentiment. Some ribbon, a bow and enamel dots finish off my card today!

Fairy Special Day!

Happy Tuesday!

I always love Tuesdays because it means I'm sharing a card using an image from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. Today I got to colour up this cutie called "Fairy on a Log" from the "This & That" release.

I'm in love with these papers from the Paper Rose "Rainbows & Unicorns" 6x6 collection. I coloured my image with my Copic Sketch Markers to match my papers. Using a Gina Marie Frilly Lace Square die, I cut out the image. I thought the HH sentiment called "Fairy Special Day" was perfect for my card! I added some glitter pen to her wings and some enamel hearts to finish off my card.

Happy Easter!

Hi!

Easter is around the corner and when I saw this cutie called "Easter Gnome" from the new "This & That" release over at High Hopes Stamps, I knew I had to make a card with it! I mean it doesn't get much cuter than this! I mean look at that cutie peeking out from behind!

Today's papers are from the Echo Park "Welcome Spring" 6x6 collection. I love the pastel colours in this collection. Pastel says "spring" to me and it can't come soon enough after this long snow filled winter. I stamped the image onto Copic friendly paper and coloured "Easter Gnome" to match my paper selections. I used a Gina Marie Double Roped Circle die to cut out the coloured image and popped it up with foam tape. I love the "Egg-Stra Special" sentiment! Some enamel dots finish off my card.

Copics Used:

Gnome: E00, E11, E21/ C00, C0, C1, C3, R01, R02

Hoppin' By!

Happy Tuesday!

Just "hoppin" in to share my card today using the High Hopes stamp called "Handstand Frog". He sure is showing off his gymnastic skills LOL! This cutie is from the New Release "This & That" that started March 1st!

My card has a real simple design today with just 2 designer papers from the Polkadoodles "Splashing Around" 6x6 collection. I stamped the cute frog onto Copic friendly paper, coloured it with my Copic markers and then using a Zig Zag Oval die from MFT, cut it out. I aways like using foam tape to pop up my image as it adds dimension and interest to your card. The HH sentiment called "Just Hoppin" is perfect to use with "Handstand Frog:! A bit of twine with a bow, finish off my card.

Copics Used:

Frog: G29, G28, YG17, YG03, YG01

Lily Pad: YG61, YG63, YG67/ R81, R83

Just "Chick-en" In!

Hello!

Oh my gosh, I'm loving all the new stamps over at High Hopes from the new "This & That" release! 

This cutie is called "Chicken Stack" and I paired it with the "What the Flock" sentiment.

After stamping the "Chicken Stack" onto Copic Friendly paper, I coloured it in using my Copic Sketch markers. Taking a Gina Marie "Pleated lace" rectangle die, I cut out the adorable image. I'm using papers from the Doodlebug "Down on the Farm" 6x6 collection. I  love the High Hopes sentiment "What the Flock", it just makes me giggle! A few enamel dots and my card is finished!!

I decided to decorate the inside of my card this time and used the HH sentiment called "Just Chick-en In".

Birthday Wishes!

Happy March 1st!!

Wow where did February go? ....time sure does fly these days! Today is a New Release "This & That" over at High Hopes Stamps! I can always use Birthday cards in my stash and this cutie is an adorable addition! Meet the cute "Baking Gnome" and "Birthday Wishes" sentiment from the new release.

I started my card by stamping the image onto Copic friendly paper with Memento black ink. My next step is then to pick my papers. I chose papers from the Polka Doodles "Birthday Fun" 6x6 collection.  

Taking my Copic markers I coloured in the image. I cut out "Baking Gnome" with a circle die and mounted it onto another circle die, cut from cardstock. Some banner dies with design papers and my sentiment help to make my card design. A few enamel dots, bow and glitter pen on the pink icing finish off my card.

Get Well Wishes!!

Happy Tuesday!

I love having "Get Well" themed cards on hand! I always think that getting a card when you're under the weather just brightens your day. When I saw the "Spoutin' Off" image with the "Feeling Whale" sentiment from High Hopes Stamps , I knew it would make an adorable card!

I decided to make an "Easel Card" today for something different! I haven't made one in ages and I absolutely love this one! I used my Cameo and a Svg file from Lori Whitelock called "Scalloped Circle Easel Card". The file has all the necessary parts to put together this card quick and easy. After stamping my image onto Copic friendly paper, I coloured it in with my Copic markers. Next I used A Gina Marie "Double Rope Circles" die and cut out my image. I popped it up with foam tape onto the card base. The Svg file shows to use a brad to keep the card in the easel position, but I used the sentiment popped up with foam tape, works perfectly. I don't often add flowers to my card as I'm not the greatest on placement but it worked here! Some glitter pen on the water and spout finishes off my card.

Here you can see how the Easel card folds down flat for mailing.

Copics Used:

C00, C0, C1, C4, C5, C8

Winter Fun!

Hi!

The 2022 Winter Olympics have inspired me to make this card today! My favourite thing to watch is the skating competitions! I love the beauty of the skating and the costumes are stunning! When I saw "Ice Princess" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps, it brought back so many memories! My sister and I always loved to skate! We would make up routines for our "skating programs" and then would judge each other. We could do a spin and a one foot jump but we thought we were spinning and jumping just like the Olympic skaters lol. The "Frozen Skating Pond" is the perfect background for my little skater!

I stamped the pond and skater onto Copic friendly paper and coloured them in with my Copic markers. I cut the "Frozen Skating Pond" with a Craftin' Desert Diva's Inside Scallop Square die and also used it to get the border around the pond image. The "Winter Fun" sentiment also from High Hopes was stamped directly beneath the pond so it looks one layered. Using my Brother Cut N Scan I cut out "Ice Princess" and popped her up on the pond with some foam tape. Some Diamond Stickles on the trees and Nuvo Glitter Gloss pen on the ice add some fun sparkle to my card! Since "Ice Princess" is a "Star", I added some star stickers in each corner to finish off my card.

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E11, E21

Hair: E43, E44, E47

Outfit: RV17, RV19

Skates: C00, C1, C6

Trees: G40, G46, G85

What's The Buzz?

Hello!!

I miss seeing all my friends and catching up on each other's lives!!! Due to Covid, we haven't been able to get together and I can't wait to see them again! I thought this adorable "Hunny Bear" stamp and sentiment called "What's the Buzz" from High Hopes Stamps made a perfect card to send to one of them.

My card comes together quick using the Studio Katia "Darling Ribbon & Dotted Frames" die set. It cut out all of my papers except the strip of bees. I just layered some cardstock behind it and I was done with the card base design. I stamped "Hunny Bear" onto Copic friendly paper and coloured it in with my Copic markers. Using my Brother Cut N Scan I cut out the image and popped it up on the card with some foam tape. A bit of glitter pen to the wings and honey and I was finished!

Copics Used:

Bear: E71, E74, E77, E79

Bee Outfit: N10, Y15, Y17, Y18

Honey Pot: B95, B97, B99

Be My Valentine!

Happy Tuesday!

Since Valentine's Day is around the corner, I decided to make a Valentine's card using the adorable "Matchmakin' Maynard" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. I paired Maynard with the HH sentiment "Sm. Fancy Be My Valentine". 

To start my card, I stamped the image onto Copic friendly paper and coloured it with my Copic markers. Using a heart shaped die, I cut out the image. I stamped the image onto a post it note and then fussy cut it out. I used that as a "mask" over top of my coloured image. Using some Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink and a cloud stencil, I created the background over the masked image. It's always fun when you peel off the mask and see how your image is now surrounded by clouds. I am using papers from the Moda Scraps "Pink Cotton Candy" 6x6 collection. I also inked all the edges of my papers with Distress Ink in Vintage Photo. A bit of Crystal Stickles on Maynard's hearts finish off my card.

Copics Used:

RV66, R85, R83, RV34

E31, E33, E34/ E43, E44

W1, W3, W5
