Stackable Santa -- High Hopes Stamps

 Hi there, I'm back again to share a card and wish you a happy Friday!  

I created a snowy scene using ...

High Hopes Large Stackable Santa found here at High Hopes
or here at OCS

 The image is coloured with Copic Markers and Liquid Applique was applied to Santa's beard and clothing. 

I love the look of Liquid Applique and how it puffs up when heated. It's something new for me and I'm hooked!

A bell was hot glued to the twine, along with a touch of acrylic paint. 

Two embossing folders were used to help create a snowy scene. The hill was hand cut and Santa is pop dotted for extra dimension.   A friend of mine gave me the Merry Christmas Die cut which I LOVE (thank you J)! I added a bit of glitter and slightly curved the words almost like Santa is holding the  greetng.

 Here's the markers I used ....

Thanks for peeking! 

Have a crafty Weekend! 

I'm looking forward to seeing your creations in this month's Christmas In July Challenge - here's the link to come play along.

Catching Flakes

Happy Wednesday High Hopes Fans! 

I can't believe it is almost the end of July already! Where has the month gone?! 

We are in the middle of a heat wave as I write this post. Temps are in the upper 30's with a humid feels like of close to 40 degrees. Making Christmas/winter cards in this kind of weather helps cool me down! lol

Today's card features "Catching Flakes" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. This stamp brought back fun memories of standing out in the snow with those big wet flakes gently falling down and seeing how many we could catch on our tongue. 

Close Up

After colouring the stamp with alcohol markers I used a stitched rectangle die to cut it out. I added some Stickles to the snow to give it some shine. I coloured the tree and added some Stickles to it after fussy cutting it out. The snow bank is cut with a die and it is the perfect spot for the sentiment. The paper is from Carta Bella and I added a few snow flakes to finish of my card.

And The Lights Were Hung.....

We are continuing with our Christmas in July posts here at One Crazy Stamper. 

Today my card features an older High Hopes stamp called "Lg. Christmas Mouse". He seems to have gotten himself in quite the predicament and it makes me giggle. 

Close Up

After colouring the stamp with alcohol markers I used my circle cutter to cut him out as well as a background piece of cardstock and popped him up with pop dots. I added silver Wink of Stella to the lights (where they join the cord) and clear Wink of Stella on all the light bulbs. An embossing folder gave me some texture on the piece of white cardstock behind him. The sentiment was typed on my computer and it came from the Twas the night before Christmas poem..I just changed a few words. The sentiment is adhered with pop dots and a mini clip with ribbon. Sparkly gumdrops and ribbon finish off my card.

Howdy - High Hopes Stamps

Happy Happy Friday! 

I've been colouring up this fun Cowboy Snowman from High Hopes and created a Christmas Card with this cute guy! 

 Snowman Cowboy from High Hopes Can be found here!

 The image is coloured with Copic Markers, fussy cut and pop doted for some dimension. I decided to create my own text on the front of the card to read Howdy as the greeting. 

On the inside of the card I'm trying to decide on a sentiment such as ...

1) Wishing you a Cowboy Christmas 

or 

2) Quit horsing around and have a Merry Christmas!

or

3) Kick off your boots and have a Merry Christmas!

:)

Such fun! My friend Cheryl came up with the last two sentiments and I love them both! It's a hard decision on which one to choose...... I think I'm going to use #2 !!

Thanks for peeking, have a great weekend!

Swooshing By

It's Christmas in July and today I'm sharing a super fun slider card with you. 

The stamp I used is called "Bearly Swooshin" and I thought it was perfect to make a slider card with. Personally I'm not a skier but this guy sure looks like he's having a great time! 

Close Up

After colouring the stamp with alcohol markers I fussy cut him out leaving a thin white edge. I cut my background patterned paper and added some trees. I haven't made a slider card for awhile and I think this is the third one I have ever made so it took a bit off fiddling to get things together properly. Thankfully the "slider pieces" are a die so I could re cut the pieces as I made mistakes lol. 

The sentiment is printed from my computer and an icicle border die finish off my card.

Cup Of Cocoa

This month the One Crazy Stamper team is sharing cards made with a  "Christmas in July" theme. We will be using older High Hopes Rubber Stamps images featuring Christmas and Winter. There are so many fun, cute images to choose from I can't choose a favourite!

Today my card is featuring "Snowy's Cup" - who doesn't love a hot cup of cocoa on a cold day? I am also using the sentiments "Dot Warn Winter Wishes" and on the inside of my card I have used "Cup of Cocoa". 

Snowy's Close Up 

Inside Sentiment

Snowy is coloured with alcohol markers, fussy cut and mounted using 3D Foam Pop Dots. The front sentiment is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and cut out using a fishtail banner die. I created the background piece by running some matching off white card stock through a snowflake embossing folder to add some texture. The edges of the off white card stock are edged with a burgundy ink and Candy Land glittered gumdrops finish of my card. 

The inside (sorry I had a hard time with this picture) has the same patterned paper and the saying is done on matching off white card stock and the edges are inked with burgundy ink.
