Welcome Everyone;

Now that September is nearly over and the weather is getting cooler, that means more colds and feeling under the weather.

For today’s post I made a CAS card that could be used as a Get Well Card. Instead of using design paper, I used Gina K. Designs Vibrant Vines Foil-Mates with a sheet of Brillant Blue Fancy Foils. This was then foiled using the Minc machine. Unfortunately, the photo isn’t showing the sparkle in the foil.

The image was stamped with Staz On Jet Black ink on some water colour paperand coloured with Zig Clean Color Real Brushes.

Supplies used:

  • Stamps:  Garden Fence, Get Well Soon (High Hopes Rubber Stamps)
  • Ink:  Staz On Jet Black
  • Paper:  Strathmore Ready Cut Water Color
  • Gina K. Designs:  Fancy Foils – Brillant Blue, Foil-Mates – Vibrant Vines
  • Zig Clean Color Real Brushes:  075 – Brick Beige, 047 – May Green, 053 – Yellow Green, 803 – Lavendar, 081 – Light Violet
  • Nuvo Crystal Drops – Pale Gold

Welcome Everyone;

With the start of school and fall almost here, this brings the start of Winter fun and sports.  Hockey is a big one with my grandchildren.  They all play and can’t wait for their season to start.

Welcome Everyone;

September is here and One Crazy Stamper and High Hopes Stamps have a new theme called Anything Goes.  It is always good to have some baby cards on hand for that special occasion.

For today’s card, I have used the addorable Swaddled Baby Girl from High Hopes Stamps.  I coloured her with Copic Markers and paper pieced the blanket.  I used a Lacey Circle Die to cut the image out as well as a piece of matching cardstock that I threaded some ribbon through.  Some bluish gray jewels finished off the card.

Hi Everyone;

I can’t wait for Fall to come.  It is one of my favourite seasons, and it is colourful with the leaves changing colours, the abundance of pumpkins, Thanksgiving and Halloween.

For today’s card, I have used the Wagon Full of Blessings from High Hopes Stamps.  This is a CAS card.  A small piece of Design Paper was used, so that there would be room to add some stenciling on the Kraft cardstock.  I used Nuvo Embellishment Mousse in Orange Blush and Inka Gold in Jade to add colour to The Autumn Delight Stickable Stencil from BoBunny.  When I opened the Inka Gold, it had harden over time, so I spritz some water on it which made it usable again. The same can be done with the Nuvo Embellishment Mousse.

The image was coloured with Copic Markers, and some ribbon and enamel dots were added to finish it off.

  • Stamps:  Wagon Full of Blessings, Welcome Fall (High Hopes Stamps)
