Spring Follows!

High Hopes Stamps, Spring, , , , ,

Welcome HH and OCS Fans;

It seems that winter doesn’t want to go away for now…. but it will and spring will follow.  I can’t wait for Spring to really arrive.  It is one of my favourite seasons as it signifies new beginnings — grass starts to grow, leaves sprout on the trees, flowers start to bloom, and mother nature with baby bunnies, birds and other wildlife.  It is an uplifting time of the year for me.

For today’s card, I have used the High Hopes Stamps called Garden Gate Background, Landing Birdie and Spring Follows.  The Garden Gate Background  and Landing Birdie were coloured with Copic Markers. I fuzzy cut the Landing Birdie (I definitely need to get a Brother Scan & Cut).  My original intention was to put Birdie on a wobble, but even the mini wobble was too big.  I added a layer of glue dots to build it up a bit, so it gives the appearance that he is not flat against the gate.

Supplies used:

  • Stamps:  Garden Gate Background (U012), Landing Birdie (H185), Spring Follows (LL009) all from High Hopes Rubber Stamps
  • Ink:  Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black
  • Paper:  XPress It Blending Cardstock; DP – Spring Plaid (Lawn Fawn)
  • Copic Markers:
    • E21 – Baby Skin Pink, E23 – Hazelnut, E25 – Caribe Cocoa, E27 – Africano, E29 – Burnt Umber, E30 – Bisque, E31 – Brick Beige, E40 – Brick white, E41 – Pearl White – E42 – Sand White
    • YG11 – Mignonette, YG12 – Chartreuse
    • BV000 – Iridescent Mauve, BV00 – Mauve Shadow, BV01 – Viola
    • Y17 – Golden Yellow, Y19 – Napoli Yellow, YR16 – Apricot
    • B000 – Pale Porcelain Blue, B00 – Frost Blue, B21 – Baby Blue, B23 – Phthalo Blue
    • N0- Neutral Gray No. 0, N2 – Neutral Gray No. 2
  • Your Next Stamps Gumdrops
  • Lawn Fawn Hemp
  • Zig Wink of Stella – Clear

Another Year Wiser

High Hopes Stamps, One Crazy Stamper, , , ,

Welcome OCS and HH Fans;

Have you ever had one of those times when you had envisioned something completely different as to how the card turned out.  Well, this is the case for today’s card.  After a couple of mishaps and completely not what I had in mind, I’m happy with how it turned out.

After colouring Waving Owl with Copic Markers, I cut it out using a circle die.  To get the effect of the circle die sitting inside the hexagon, I put the same size circle inside the hexagon die and cut them out together.  This allowed Waving Owl to sit inside the hexagon.

For today’s card, I used Slapshot Stanley from High Hopes Stamps (definitely need some female hockey stamps).  After stamping the image I coloured it with copic markers.  The snowflakes were two wooden shapes.  I added the Nuvo Pure Platinum Mousse first, then added some Nuvo Snow Glow glitter.

I’ll Be Gnome for Christmas

High Hopes Stamps, One Crazy Stamper, Sue, Woodsy Christmas Release (High Hopes Stamps), ,

Welcome Everyone;

This is the first week for my self challenge, I used the cute Cocoa Gnome from High Hopes Stamps latest release called “Woodsy Christmas” and some foil.  It certainly didn’t go as  planned.  I used the Gina K Holiday Flora and foiled it twice; once with a piece of Sparkling Silver and again with some green foil.  I then took the negative and put it over the opposite colour.

Upon reflection, I would have just used a couple of strips, and that is what I will try the next time I do this.

Supplies used:

  • Stamps:  Cocoa Gnome, Gnome for Christmas (Woodsy Christmas Release — High Hopes Stamps)
  • Ink:  Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black
  • Paper:  XPress It Blending Cardstock; DP – Photoplay Mod Plaid Christmas
