With Deepest Sympathy

Challenge, Challenge - Anything Goes, High Hopes Stamps, Spring Release 2016,

Hi Everyone,

I hope you are enjoying the new High Hopes Rubber Stamps Spring 2016 Release.   I don’t know about you, but I find sympathy cards can be difficult to make, as the right stamp is needed.  For my post today, I have used With Deepest Sympathy and the matching svg files from the Spring 2016 Release.

“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a goodnight!”

Christmas/Winter, High Hopes Stamps, One Crazy Stamper, ,

Hi there;

I am back with another post for this week for OCS.  Christmas Eve has finally arrived and the children will all be in bed eagerly awaiting the arrival of Santa Claus.  For my card today, I just had to use Santa Bob from the “Joys of the Seasons” release by High Hopes Rubber Stamps.

As I wanted the whole sheet of design paper to be seen, I only used a red card stock for the base of the card and no other patterned paper.  I also used some of Heidi Swapp’s Minc accessories also.

Supplies used:

Hope you enjoyed the card and as Clement Clarke Moore said in his classic Christmas poem “Twas the Night Before Christmas” — “Happy Christmas to all, and to all a goodnight.”

Do have a wonderful Christmas and enjoy the time spent with your loved ones.

Merry Christmas Tags

Christmas/Winter, High Hopes Stamps, One Crazy Stamper, ,

Hi All,

It is Sue here, and I am posting for Shari today at OCS.  I decided to use the Snowman Mini Set from the “Joys of the Seasons” Release from High Hopes Rubber Stamps, to make some Christmas tags.

I used Ranger’s Distress Ink the Winter Set which is composed of Festive Berries, Iced Spruce and Evergreen Bough to create the backgrounds on the tags.  I used the 1/8″ Scor-Pal tape around the edges and at the top just below the hole and used the Glitter Ritz Vintage Christmas Collection which is made up of Frosty Mint, Cranberry and Spruce.

For my post today for OCS, I have used this adorable stamp from the “Joys of Seasons” new release from High Hopes Rubber Stamps called, Free Broom Rides.  I stamped part of the broom on some beige mulberry paper to add a papery effect.

Tea for Two

Challenge, High Hopes Stamps, One Crazy Stamper, , ,

Hi All;

It is Wednesday, which is also hump day — can’t wait for some warmer weather on the weekend as it has certainly been cold.  The OCS DT have been showing the new release for High Hopes Rubber Stamps.

For my post today, I have used this adorable image called Tea for Two.  I used the Derwent Inktense Pencils to colour it.  As I couldn’t decide on a sentiment to use, I decided to go without one.
