Welcome Everyone;

The start of a long weekend is almost here and as it is Victoria Day, it is the time when we get a start on summer plans.  Hopefully, we will be able to be outside more and enjoying the nice weather like these Happy Pigs are doing.

For today’s card, I have used the adorable Happy Pigs from the Furry & Friends Release.  Yes, the High Hopes Stamps Retirement Vault was opened again.

After stamping the image and colouring with Copic Markers, I then used a Nested Scalloped die to cut it out.  All the design paper is from the Bloom pad by Pink Paislee.  Some ribbon and enamel dots finished off the card.

Did someone say “Spring”?

Furry & Friends, High Hopes Stamps, Playful Goats, , , ,

Welcome Everyone;

We have certainly been having some spring like weather and being finally able to get some fresh air and just enjoy the nice weather. That suits these adorable playful goats just fine, as they are kicking up their heels as someone said “Spring”

To create today’s card, I used Playful Goats and Say Spring, both from High Hopes Stamps.  The majority of my cards are CAS and so is this one.

After colouring the goats with Copic Markers, I cut it out and mounted it on the same cardstock as the base of the card.  Some twine, enamel dots and Nuvo Crystal Drops finished off my card.

Supplies used:

  • Stamps:  Playful Goats (S121), Say Spring (E256) — both from High Hopes Stamps
  • Copic Markers:
    • Goat on the left:  W00 – Warm Gray No. 00, W0 – Warm Gray No. 0, W1 – Warm Gray No. 1, W3 – Warm Gray No. 3
    • Goat on the right:  C00 – Cool Gray No. 00, C0 – Cool Gray No. 0, C1 – Cool Gray No. 1
    • Both Goats: R20 – Pinkish White, T5 – Toner Gray No. 5
    • Grass:   G05 – Emerald Green, G07 – Nile Green, G09 – Veronese Green
    • Flowers:  R12 – Light Tea Rose, R11 – Pale Cherry Pink
    • Butterfly:  E30 – Bisque, YR02 – Light Orange, R14 – Light Rouge
  • Miscellaneous:  Flowers, twine, enamel dots
  • Nuvo Crystal Drops:  Morning Dew for the flowers and Calming Aqua for the bottom of the card

Welcome Everyone;

A new month is here and High Hopes Stamps has a re-release called “Furry & Friends“.  They are all absolutely adorable.

For today’s card I have used the adorable Waddles.  Yes, she does seem to be shepherding her babies across the grass, and one is dawdling and I guess she is telling them not to get their feathers ruffled; who knows.

After stamping the image on some copic friendly paper, I coloured it with copic markers and then cut it out with a rectangle die.  Some ribbon and Jewel Dots from YNS finished off this CAS card.
