Lenny’s Loves Me Knots…..

Hi OCS and HH fans;

As Valentine’s Day is almost here, I couldn’t resist using Lenny’s Love Me Knots, from High Hopes Stamps. It reminds me of the game we would play as children — picking the petals off while saying “He Loves Me, he loves me not….

This is a CAS card. After stamping Lenny, I coloured him with alcohol markers.  The small hearts were from a die.

Snowballs for Sale…

Welcome OCS and HH fans;

Hopefully, there will be some snowfall this weekend for some good old fun with snowballs.  Where I live, there has been a lack of this main ingredient to be able to make snowballs never mind throwing them.

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

Find Joy in the Journey…

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.
