Witchy Poo!

Happy Tuesday!

"Sitting Witchy Poo With Pumpkin" is one of my favourite Halloween stamps from High Hopes Stamps! She's just too sweet and her little tooth poking out just makes me giggle! She's only "A Wee Bit Wicked" as she's just too cute to be wicked!

After stamping my image onto Copic Friendly paper using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, I coloured the image using my Copic Sketch Markers. Next I cut out Wichy Poo using my Brother Cut N Scan leaving a white border. I am using papers from the Doodlebug Booville 6x6 collection.

I added the Halloween tree border behind my image and then popped Witchy Poo up with foam tape. A bit of Crystal Stickles on all the yellow areas finish off my card today.

Harvest Mice!

Happy August!

August is all about Fall & Halloween over at High Hopes Rubber Stamps! I think Fall is my favourite time of the year because the colours are so pretty! Today I am using the rubber stamp called "Harvest Mice" paired with the "Happy Fall Y'all".

I started by stamping my image and sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Next I used my Copic Sketch Markers and coloured the image to match with papers from the Doodlebug Pumpkin Spice 6x6 collection. Using my Brother Cut N Scan. I cut out around my image leaving a white border. Lots of basic shape layers on my card today, with all the edges inked in Vintage Photo Distress Ink. A bit of ribbon, a bow and an enamel dot finish off my card today!

Here's a side view to see the added dimension by popping up the image and sentiment with foam tape.

Just Chillin'!

Hello!

Penguins are my #1 favourite stamp image. My Grandmother loved Penguins, I loved her, and now they remind of her every time I see one! So that makes them my favourite now too! This is a simple, fun card but it packs a ton of cuteness! Meet "Just Chillin" from High Hopes Stamps! Ohhhhh I bet his butt is cold LOL. 

Today I am using papers from the Sunny Studios "Holiday Cheer" 6x6 collection. They are fun and bright and suit this cutie perfectly! After stamping my image onto Copic friendly paper, I coloured him to match my papers using my Copic Sketch markers. Using a Gina Marie "Wonky Stitched" die I cut out the image and papers that are behind him. A simple card layout makes this a quick and easy card! I love the HH sentiment called "Ice Day"! I added some icicle borders, glitter pen to the ice block and sentiment to finish things off.

Hot Cocoa!

Howdy!

Today I'm sharing another card with you for the "Christmas in July" month long theme going on over at High Hopes Rubber Stamps! "Snowy's Cup" is one of favourite HH stamps and I always love colouring him! Sometimes I imagine him as a marshmallow & candy decoration you put in your hot cocoa and he melts into it making a delicious rich drink. Love the "Dot Warm Heart" sentiment too! It's true they both really do warm my heart!

One of my favourite non-traditional Christmas colours to use is blue. The Echo Park "Winter" 6x6 collection was perfect for my card, especially with that mug designer paper. After I stamped Snowy onto some Copic friendly paper, I coloured him in using my Copic Sketch markers. Next using my Brother Cut N Scan, I cut around him leaving a small white edge. All my papers today have been inked on the edges using Distress Ink in Vintage Photo. I always love the little bit of dimension it adds to your card. I cut the sentiment out using s MFT Stitched Banner die. A bit of twine, a bow and holly gem fish off my card today.

Copics Used:

B91, B93, B95, B97, B99

Gingerbread Dreams!

Happy Tuesday!

It's all about Christmas this July over at High Hopes! I always love doing "Christmas in July" cards as it motivates me to get started on my own personal Xmas cards. I'm in love with this cutie called "Lg. Gingerbread Man", he looks good enough to eat LOL. I matched him with the "Gingerbread Dreams" sentiment, I mean I will be dreaming of gingerbread now! I might just have to make some today!

On my card today, I used the Craftin' Desert Diva's "Fancy Frames" die set for my paper layers.The fun and bright papers are from the Doodlebug "Night Before Christmas" 6x6 collection. They have the best collections for fun and bright cards. I stamped the image onto Copic friendly paper and coloured him in with my Copic Sketch markers. Next I used my Brother Cut N Scan to cut out my image and popped him up with foam squares for added dimension to my card! I added some "ric rac" pink ribbon, enamel dots and some Crystal Stickles on the icing to finish off this fun card!

Here's the decorated inside with a little bit of the Gingerbread Man sticking up on the bottom.
