Springtime Joy!

One Crazy Stamper, Sue, , , ,

Welcome OCS fans;

I don’t know about you, but I am certainly tired of this changing weather.  One day it is cold and snowy, the next it is rainy and a bit warmer.  I can’t wait for spring to arrive.

For today’s card, I’m using the Wishing Well from High Hopes Stamps and are wishing for Spring to come soon.  It is one of my favourite seasons — new beginnings, new hopes and wishes.  I used Primsacolor Pencils, which I haven’t used for a long time to colour the wishing well.

A Little Rain Must Fall….

Daily Inspiration, One Crazy Stamper, ,

Welcome OCS fans;

Another week has gone by and there is no doubt that there has been a little or a lot or rain falling in my little world of late.  Last week it was the garage door that needed repairing as the cable snapped, and this week it is a plumbing issue.  What’s next — don’t know that I want to know.

While anyway for today’s card I have used the adorable Mary Angel from High Hopes Stamps.  Splashing in the puddles is such fun at times.  I  remember the children doing this when they were younger. I used the Echo Park Raindrops Stencil and the B0000 – Pale Celestine Copic Marker to create the raindrops.  A clear Spectrum Noir Sparkle Glitter Pen was then used to add a bit of glitter to the raindrops.

Supplies used:

  • Stamps:  Mary Angel and A Little Rain Must Fall (High Hopes Stamps)
  • Ink:  Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black
  • Paper:  XPress It Blending Cardstock, DP – Rainbow, Watercolor (Lawn Fawn)
  • Copic Markers:  Skin: E0000 – Floral White, E000 – Pale Fruit Pink, E00 – Skin White, R20 – Blush, Hair: E53 – Raw Silk, E51 – Milky White, E50 – Egg Shell; Coat:  G02 – Spectrum Green, G000 – Pale Green, G00 – Jade Green; Pants: V20 – Wisteria, V22 – Ash Lavender; Umbrella & Boots: Y38 – Honey, Y35 – Maize, Y32 – Cashmere, E37 – Sepia, E39 – Leather; Wings:  BG01 – Aqua Blue, BG000 – Pale Aqua, BG0000 – Snow Green; Puddle: B00 – Frost Blue, B000 – Pale Porcelain Blue, B0000 – Pale Celestine
  • YNS Gumdrops: Sparkly Teal, Lavendar

Little Reader Trio……

Challenge - Anything Goes, One Crazy Stamper, Sue, , , ,

Welcome OCS and HH fans;

Have you ever wondered what else you can do with a stamp.  I love it when a stamp is very versatile and multiple items can be created with.  Such is the case with my post for today.  Using the Little Reader from High Hopes Stamps, I made a set which includes a card, a bookplate and a bookmark.

The Little Reader was stamped three times with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on XPress It Blending Cardstock and coloured with Copic Markers.  I found a quote by Dr. Seuss as well as an Anonymous quote that fit very well with what I was wanting to achieve.

Card

Bookplate

For the Bookplate, I used another High Hopes Stamp, called Book Belongs To and cut the image out using  the Spellbinders Labels Seven die, which is shaped like an open book. I added a peel off strip to create a border.

Bookmark

The bookmark is 2 1/2″ by 6 1\2″.  I used the same green cardstock that was used for the card and bookplate.  The darker green paper has a shimmer to it and is from my stash of paper that I got on a trip to England a few years ago.  The image and sentiment were both cut using the Spellbinders Large Labels die, with the 2nd quote mounted between the two. Small Rhinestones were added to the corners, along with some green and white twine.

Supplies used:
