Some Bunny Loves You

Gnome, High Hopes Stamps, This & That, , , , ,

Welcome Everyone;

I just love it, when stamps can be used for so many different occassions, such as birthdays, Easter, Valentine’s Day, as well as no reason at all, but just to give a card.

The adorable Easter Gnome with his bunny pal and using the sentiment called  Some Bunny are being used for today’s card. Both are from High Hopes Stamps, “This & That” Release and being used for no specific occassion but just because….

After colouring the adorable Easter Gnome with Copic Markers, he was cut out using a Stitched Circle Die from YNS.  The sentiment was cut out from the same die set.  The space between the dots and the curved border, some clear Zig Wink of Stella was added all around.  Some mulberry paper and matching cardstock were cut out using the the Fistail Banner 2, also from YNS.  Some enamel dots finished off the card.

Get Well, Gnome, High Hopes Stamps, Sue, , , , ,

Welcome HH Fans;

Recently the Retirement Vault was opened and the Get Well collection was released.  These stamps are perfect for the Get Well cards that we all need.

For today’s card, I used the darling Gnoming You Better from the Get Well Collection.  After adding the first sentiment, I thought I would be cheeky and add the sentiment, Won’t Hurt as well.  After looking at the needle, it actually might hurt a bit.

After colouring the image with Copic Markers, I cut it out using a Scalloped Square die.  Some ribbon, twine and enamel dots finished off this card.

Birthday, Gnome, High Hopes Stamps, Sue

Welcome HH Fans;

As today, is the start of a brand new year and here’s wishing that it will be a better one.  For today’s post I have made 2 different versions of the same stamp — a Happy Birthday and Love You card.

I paired the Sweetheart Gnome with the Mini Sentiment Sets #1 both from High Hopes Stamps for two different cards.

After stamping the Sweetheart Gnome twice, I coloured each one with different Copic Markers.  They were also cut out using different oval dies and inked around the edges.  Some ribbon, enamel dots and peel offs finished off these cards.

Happy Birthday

Love You
