Fairy Flight with Birthday Wishes

High Hopes Stamps, This & That, , , ,
Hi Everyone;
Friday has rolled around again — how the time has flown by, just like this Fairy taking flight to deliver some birthday wishes.
For today’s card, I have used the adorable Fairy Flight, from High Hopes Stamps latest release called “This & That“.
After colouring it with Copic Markers on copic friendly paper, I cut it out using a Stained Glass Border Rectangle die.  Unfortunately, the camera didn’t capture the effects of the Shimmer Sheet from Elizabeth Crafts that I put behind the main image.  You can tell that there is something along the border, but the shimmering effect isn’t visible.  Some Clear Zig Wink of Stella was used on the Fairy’s wings.
Some Twine, Jewel Gumdrops and a flower finished off this CAS card.

Sorry I’m a Little Behind!

High Hopes Stamps, New Release, Sue, This & That, , , ,

Hi Everyone;

There are times when I am and seem to be behind in everything.  Sometime it’s something I’m working on for work.  Other times it’s something like housework, which is always behind.

Now if I didn’t want to play with this adorable Turtle Peak paired with the sentiment called Sorry I’m from High Hopes Stamps’ latest release “This & That”.  I probably wouldn’t be behind so much ….  maybe, maybe not…  These stamps are just so adorable and fun to play with.

After colouring the image with Copic Markers, I used only on the Square Outline Die to cut a plain square and mounted it on to beige cardstock.  Some Morning Dew (Nuvo Crystal Drops) was added to the flower centers, and the enamel dots finish off this very simple CAS card.

  • Stamps:  Turtle Peak – SLF033, Sorry I’m – FLL030; both from High Hopes Stamps “This & That” Release
  • Ink:  Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black
