Hi Fellow Crafters;

Another week has gone by and I hope you have been enjoying the summer heat.  OCS challenge theme this month is “Christmas in July”.  For my card today, I have used an older High Hopes Rubber Stamps called Christmas Carolers.

I added some Be Creative Sookwang Tape around the border of the image and then added some Frosty Mint glitter from Glitter Ritz on top.  The background paper was foiled with Gold Reactive foil from Heidi Swapp.

I have been wanting to do some quilling for quite some time, since taking a couple of quilling classes last year.  This is the first time, I have made a quilled snowflake.

For my post today, I have used an older High Hopes Rubber Stamp called “Christmas Joy Snowy“.  After cutting the image, I added glitter around the edge and some Faux Snow at the bottom.  The background and snowflakes were foiled using the Heidi Swapp Foil Applicator and holographic reactive foil.

Hummingbird Flight

Challenge - Anything Goes, High Hopes Stamps, One Crazy Stamper, , ,

Hi OCS Fans;

Summer is officially here, which also means that school is out and the children will have two whole months to chill and have some fun other than school work.

For my card today, I used the Hummingbird Ring stamp from High Hopes.  I used the Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Markers to colour the image.  Once coloured, the image was then cut using a Spellbinders Circle die which was mounted on the Lacy Circle die.  This die was cut on Toner Paper and then foiled with Teal/Silver Ombre foil.  Pop by next week and I will show you want other things can be done with the Heidi Swapp Minc Machine.  As this card can be used for any occasion, I didn’t add a sentiment.

For Any Occasion….

Challenge - Anything Goes, One Crazy Stamper,

Hello OCS Fans;

My card turned out differently than what I had originally envisioned.  A crafting mishap occurred — I forgot that the window behind me was opened and a sudden gust of wind scattered some gilding flakes around and not where I wanted them to go.  Needless to say, my creativity took a different turn.  As I wasn’t sure of what sentiment to add, I didn’t add any.  This way it can be used for any occasion.

‘Owl’ always love you…….

Challenge - Anything Goes, One Crazy Stamper, ,

Hi Crafty Peeps;

No doubt you  have all seen the pre-orders that Lora has up on the OCS website.  Sugar Hollow from Heartfelt Creations has arrived, and there is no doubt that this set is really cute and fun to play with.  For my post today, I have used some stamps and a die from this collection.  For the first card, I used the matching die to cut the owls out, and fuzzy cut the owls in the nest.  Both of these were mounted with pop dot adhesives.
