Cindy’s Garden

High Hopes Stamps, Sue, , ,

Hi Everyone;

Another week has gone by and Friday is here again.  It seems that the weather can’t make up it’s mind.  For a day or two is it spring like and then for the rest of the week it is winter back.   In spite of the weather, there is no reason why we can’t think of flowers and gardens. 

For today’s card I have used Cindy’s Garden and the sentiment Picket Fence Saying from High Hopes Stamps.   Instead of adding the sentiment to the front of the card, I finished the inside and added it there.

English Roses, High Hopes Stamps, Sue, , ,

Hi Everyone;

Another week has gone by and Friday is here again. For today’s card, I have used the English Rose from High Hopes Stamps.  This is a very versatile stamp which can even be used for those difficult occasions, which we never have enough of these type of cards in our stashes.

After stamping and colouring the image with copic markers, I used the Double Stitched Wavy Die from Gina Marie Designs to cut it out.  To keep the card CAS, I only used one piece of design paper along with a piece of lavender mulberry paper. I added a bit of water around the outside edges of the mulberry paper and tore a little bit off each edge.

Supplies used:

  • Stamps:  English Rose (L004), Sending a Prayer (G129) — High Hopes Stamps
  • Ink:  Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black
  • Paper:  XPress It Blending Cardstock, DP – Lucy Cromwell (Papermania), Mulberry Paper – Lavendar
  • Copic Markers:
    • YG17 – Green Grass, YG13 – Chartreuse, YG11 – Mignonette
    • BV0000 – Pale Thistle, BV000  – Iridescent Mauve, BV00 – Mauve Shadow
  • Wavy Stitched Ovals – Gina Marie Designs 
  • Nuvo Crystal Drops – Morning Dew
  • YNS Gumdrops

Here Comes Santa Claus!

Christmas, Christmas/Winter, High Hopes Stamps, Sue, , ,

Hi and welcome to another Friday post!

For today’s card, I have Santa traveling in his non traditional way.  Instead of using his sleigh with Rudolph (he is resting his troop up for the big night), he stopping by on his motorcyle.

I have used the Motorin’ by Santa from High Hopes Stamps for today’s card.  After colouring him up with Copic Markers, I used a square die cut, and then added some Polar White from Flower Soft to the trim of his suit.  The Dec. 25th element is a wooden shape from BoBunny, that I coloured with a red Spectrum Noir Glitter Pen.  Some YNS gumdrops finished off the design.
