Welcome OCS and High Hopes Stamps fans;

From Santa and Rudolph, to Jack Frost and Frosty the Snowman, I have always found Christmas to have a magical air about it.  It also seems that it is the time that families and friends gather for some Christmas Cheer.

Merry Christmas

Welcome OCS and HH Fans;

I really like it when a stamp can be used in more than one way.  For today’s post, I have not just one card, but two using the Three Pane Christmas  stamp from High Hopes Stamps.  Polar White Flower Soft was added to Santa’s hat.

The first card is a CAS layout.  After the image was stamped, I coloured it with Copic Markers.

The second card, is a completely different layout. I ran the Holiday Magic Embossing Folder through my die cutting machine before adding silver foil using the GoPress Machine.  It was cut at an angle and a piece was added to the top and bottom.  The bottom half doesn’t show up well in the photo.

Supplies used:

  • Stamps:  Three Pane Christmas, Merry Christmas (High Hopes Stamps)
  • Ink:  Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black
  • Paper:  XPress It Blending Cardstock, DP – A Perfect Christmas (Echo Park); Christmas Time (Carta Bella)
  • Copic Markers:  T0 Toner Gray No. 0, T6 Toner Gray No. 6, T7 – Toner Gray No. 7, T8 – Toner Gray No. 8, C00 – Cool Gray No. 00, C0 – Cool Gray No. 0, R46 – Strong Red, R29 – Lipstick Red, R27 – Cadmium Red, R20 – Blush, E0000 – Floral White, E000 – Pale Fruit Pink, E00 -Skin White, E30 – Bisque, E31 – Brick Beige, E33 – Sand, Y28 – Lionet Gold, E49 – Dark Bark, G46 – Mistle

Taking the Scenic Route

Modes of Transportation Release, One Crazy Stamper, Sue, ,

Welcome OCS and HHFans;

On my to do list whenever I retire, is a train ride through the Rockies.  Besides being a soothing ride, I know it is very scenic and that the Rocky Mountaineer has these trips on a regular basis.

With this in mind, today’s card is using the Little Engine from High Hopes Stamps, latest release called “Modes of Transportation“.

After stamping my image, I coloured it with Copic Markers and then fuzzy cut it and mounted it using a mini action wobble.  For the design paper, I used the section that showed Canada.  The strip was cut using a Double Stitched Hill die.

Find Joy in the Journey…

Modes of Transportation Release, One Crazy Stamper, Sue, ,

Welcome OCS Fans;

Now that summer is here, school is out and it is time to go on an excursion and find joy in the journey.

For today’s card I have used Ron’s Royce from High Hopes Stamps latest release called “Modes of Transportation“.

Instead of using design paper, I created my own using the GoPress and Foil machine along with a Hot Foil Stamp, an embossing folder and heat activated foil.

The GoPress and Foil machine is used along with your die cutting machine.  It is the pressure from the die cutting machine that will help add the foil which is heated on the GoPress machine first.  The Introduction to GoPress and Foil youtube video gives a good overview of its many functions.

The small strip on the left hand side is a hot foil stamp.  The bigger piece on the right hand is an embossing folder. I have seen the embossing folder and GoPress machine used in two different ways.  The first way is to run the embossing folder through the die cutting machine first, giving a raised appearance.  The second way, is not to run the embossing folder through the die cutting machine which gives it a flat appearance. The embossing folder with the  raised side down, is put on top of some cardstock, which is then put down on top of the foil which is colour side down, which is put on top of a metal shim on top of the GoPress machine platform.

Hoping Your Day is as Special as you are!

Daily Inspiration, High Hopes Stamps, One Crazy Stamper, Sue, ,

Welcome OCS Fans;

Well it seems that we have had a very short Spring and now are into the first hot weekend, even though it isn’t officially summer yet.

Seeing mother nature at its’ best is one of my favourite things during the spring and summer; especially the colourful hummingbirds. Today’s card can be used as a birthday card or one of those you want to send as “Just Because”.

After colouring the Hummingbird (High Hopes Stamps) using copic markers, I added some Silver Moonlight Nuvo Glitter Drops to the edge of the wing and tail.  I just added it as a thin layer to add a bit of glitter.  On the leaves I added some Morning Dew Nuvo Crystal Drops.  Yes, I am addicted to the Nuvo products — they are so versatile.  I wet the outside edge of the Mulberry Paper with water and did a gentle tear all around to give a bit of a ragged look.
