Calling The Doctor

At this time of year I can never have enough get well cards in my stash. It seems every time I turn around someone is sick whether it's allergies, a spring cold or something more serious. 
"Gnoming You Better" from High Hopes is a perfect stamp for a card to send someone to give them a smile and hopefully help them feel a little better. 

I coloured up these fun nurse and doctor gnomes with alcohol markers and Prismacolor pencils and hand fussy cut them. Silver gel pen was added to the needle handle and needle as well as the top of the clipboard. 
 I found some lined paper for my "medical folder" and hand drew a heart beat line just for fun. I added a "tab" to the top of my file, masked off the sentiment (it is one sentiment but I wanted to split it up) and stamped the top line in the tab. A corner round gave me some rounded corners and then I stamped the second part of the sentiment. 
A fun ribbon bow and some enamel dots finish off my card.

Springtime Joy!

Hi OCS Followers!

Today I wanted to share a cute and fun card with you! This is the adorable High Hopes "Hoppy Froggy Flower", and he's got a flower just for you!

I coloured my frog with my Copic Markers and then using a terry washcloth and Copic Blending Solution, dabbed at the image to create some texture. I had an extra background from my "Shadow Box Card" post and it came in handy for this card. I stamped the HH "Springtime Joy" sentiment directly on the cloud background.  I added some Stickles to the "warts" on the frog and the flower middle for a fun  look! And doesn't he look adorable with his little "goggly eyes?!!

I decided to mount my fussy cut image on an action wobble for an interactive fun element!

Click play to see the wobble in action.

Copics Used:

Froggy: G28, G46, YG17, YG21, YG23

Flower: RV25, RV29, Y32, Y35, G24, G28

Happy Stamping!

Supplies:

Dragon's Finger Set

Every time I look at this stamp, I have to chuckle because that is exactly what Dad used to say to us when we were kids and somebody always did pull his finger (usually one of the younger ones)!  I think I will give this to one of our littles... he'll snicker and giggle and then him and his two brothers will be laughing and making all kinds of noises.  

Dragon Finger Set is a complete set - you get the sentiment, the dragon and fire image all in one.

Beautiful Sunday

Hello Everyone!

Welcome back to another day of fantastic inspiration on the One Crazy Stamper blog, with creations from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. I have had so much fun coloring up some images for you and can't wait to show you those creations over the coming weeks.

Starting with this beauty:

This is Hummingbird Ring, paired with the sentiment "Have a Beautiful Day". This is a delightful image for your spring cards and would make an excellent option for your Mother's Day cards too!

If you're wondering, the colors I've used here in my bird are: YR00, YR0000 (belly), E15, E13 (wings), YG61, YG63 (back and head), R02, R08 (throat). I've also used V01, V06, V12 for the flowers, G14, G17 for the leaves and C3, C6 and B000 for the background and ring.

Have a fantastic Sunday!

Did Someone Say Spring?

It's time to shake off those winter blues get your happy on and show us your happy dance moooves! 
I am having some fun with my card this week - I mean seriously a dancing cow?! She just makes me giggle and definitely makes me happy! This cow would be perfect to add a birthday cake or party hat to for a fun Birthday card too! We all express our joy in different ways and this party cow sure has the moooves!

After colouring this adorable cow with alcohol markers I added some shading with Prismacolor pencils to a few areas. I hand fussy cut it and ran a black marker around the edge to get any white I may have missed and popped her up using some foam dots. 
Next I added some clouds to a piece of white card stock with a cloud die and some baby blue ink and cut it out using a slash stitched die. The fence with cut with my Cricut using the Old West cartridge and the grass tufts were cut with a die. A piece of gingham ribbon and some enamel dots finish off my card.

Bloomin' Border!

Hello OCS Fans!

I'm popping in today to share another "Spring Themed" card! I'm so happy the weather is better (I hate Winter) and I can't wait to see all the pretty flowers popping up in the gardens! I am using the HH "DH Bloomin' Border". I love this stamp because you can colour flowers any shade you want!

I took a pre-made 6.5x5 card and using my Spellbinders Label 28 die, made a shaped base by just slightly having one edge of my die off the card before I ran it through my die cut. Then cut matching layers using the same die and some Designer papers from MFT. I nice big bow and some PPP clear droplets finish off my card!

Here you can see the added dimension to my card by popping each layer up with foam squares. I also didn't stamp a sentiment on the inside. I thought I'd wait until I have an occasion to use it. This card is perfect for a sympathy, thinking of you or just because card.

Copics Used:

BV01, BV02, BV04

Y13, Y15, Y18

Happy Stamping!

I wish I would have had this card done in time to post for St. Patrick's day because the sentiment and image are perfect but I didn't so now will have to do!

I've had this stamp and sentiment for ages and recently found it and the card worked up so quickly after I coloured and cut out the image.

Have an Egg-Cellent Easter Sunday!

Happy Easter!!

Heather here, with your Easter Sunday post! Today happens to be extra special in our house. Not only is the Easter bunny coming to visit, a cause for celebration in itself, but my youngest is a very important five today!


And so, for my not-so-little baby, I made this Egg-Cellent Friend card featuring this adorable baby elephant and friends.

I had planned to make this a birthday card, but instead settled on Script Easter Greetings (quite frankly, it's still going to be a birthday card!).

I hope you have a day as special as a five-year-old's birthday on Easter (and that's pretty special).

Much crafty love.
