Magical Moments…

High Hopes Stamps, One Crazy Stamper, Sue, ,

Welcome OCS Fans;

For today’s post, I have used the “Wizard in Training” from the High Hopes Stamps latest release called “A Magical Day“.   It would be nice if she could do some magic that would bring us some spring.

Today’s card is on the clean and simple side.  The two side panels were created by using the Vintage Border Hot Foil Stamp and the GoPress and Foil machine to foil them.  This machine can foil embossing folders as well as wafer thin dies.

Welcome OCS fans;

Spring is officially here, but you wouldn’t know it from the weather this week — rain, snow and some high winds.

I thought I would do a spring like card that could also be used for Mother’s Day which will soon be here.

I have used the adorable LeiLani from the High Hopes Stamps Darling Divas Release which was last year.

After colouring my stamped image with Copic Markers, I trimmed it so that it would fit on the Quilted Backdrop die.  I added some Nuvo Jewel Drops at the bottom and Nuvo Crystal Drops to the flowers.

Fast Eddie on the prowl……

One Crazy Stamper, Sue, ,

Welcome back OCS fans!

Being that it is Easter and over the next few days, there will be plenty of Easter Egg hunts going on, I used this fun image from High Hopes Stamps called Fast Eddie.  He is definitely on the run for those eggs. This is a fairly clean and simple card.  Fast Eddie was coloured with Copic Markers, then cut out using the Spellbinders Standard Circle Die.  I used the Crystal Clear Spectrum Noir Sparkle Glitter Pen, to add some glitter to the basket.


As there is a banner of wording on the bottom part of the card, I added the Happy Easter sentiment to the inside of the card.

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.
