Friends are the Best Collectibles

Friends, High Hopes Stamps, Winter Friends, , , ,

Welcome Everyone;

Beginning in our childhood to adulthood, we have all collected objects whether it be rocks in the garden, shells from a beach, our favourite books, pieces of art etc.  However, there is really only one type of collectibles that qualifies to be the “Best Collectibles” and that is the friends we meet throughout our life’s  journey.

For today’s card, I have used the adorable Lasso Some Snow stamp from High Hopes Stamps, Winter Friends Release and paired it with the Best Collectibles sentiment.  Innstead of lassoing the snow, he is rounding up some friends.

After stamping the image onto XPress It Blending cardstock, I coloured it with Copic Markers, and then cut it out using a Spellbinders Square Die.  The mat behind the image was cut using a Double Stitched Square Die.  Some twine and enamel dots finished off the card.

Hi Everyone;

Another year is over, and what better way to start a brand new year, with a new release from High Hopes Stamps.  Winter Friends made its debut on Monday with Michelle’s adorable Winter Pup.  Today, I have his friend Winter Kitty.  A total myth that pups and kittys don’t get along.

After stamping Winter Kitty onto copic friendly paper, I coloured her with Copic Markers.  I cut the image out with an Oval Wonky Stitched Die.  I then added some Frosted Lace Stickles to the trim on Kitty’s hat and scarf.  Some Glacier Jewels were added to the design paper, and enamel dots finished off this CAS card.
