Party Girl

Party Girl Florence is on her way to be the life of the party! 
I need a lot of Birthday cards in July and I think this one will be perfect for one of my young adult nieces don't you? Florence just makes me giggle with her party balloons and of course she had to make sure to wear a touch of bling! 

I coloured Florence with alcohol markers and cut her out using a classic square die in a diamond shape. I found a fun patterned paper combo using two different 6 x 6 pads from Photo Play and cut them to fit the size of my card. You can't see it well in the photo but I added some sparkle to the balloons with a sparkle pen and her necklace is blinged up with Stickles. 
I stamped the sentiment twice so it could be seen on both sides of the diamond shape. Some matching glittery ribbon and enamel dots finish off my card.

Sentiment: Happy Birthday Script - High Hopes Rubber Stamps

Flower Frame!

Hello OCS Fans!

Today I am sharing with you a card I made using the High Hopes stamp called "Thinking of You"! This is an adorable flower frame that comes with the sentiment. I chose to mask off the sentiment as I wanted to use the sweet little button in the center instead.

I used a simple layered design with a Loopy Square die cut frame. My papers are from the Bo Bunny "Sweet Clementine" 6x6 collection. A ribbon bow and some enamel dots finish off my card. 

Here you can see my popped up layers. I popped up the loopy frame and the stamped area, it just adds such a nice dimension to the card.

On the decorated inside I used the High Hopes sentiment stamp called "Quiet Hearts".

Copics Used:

Flowers: R20, R21, R32, R37, R39, C5, Y17

Leaves: YG17, YG23, YG67

Outline: B00, C4

Happy Stamping!

Supplies:

Hugs and Fishes

It is officially summer and time to hit the beach! 
Willy is underwater but taking advantage of the warmer weather to build his first sand castle of the season. 

After colouring all of the stamps with alcohol markers I hand fussy cut and used a classic circle die to cut them out. Next the card base was formed and the patterned paper pieces were cut and each piece was temporarily laid on the to the design so I could see how things looked. Bubbles the fish at the top was stamped on to the paper so I could get her bubbles included and then the fussy cut stamp was glued in to place. 
The sentiment was stamped and cut to fit and put in place using foam pop up dots.

Get Ready for Canada Day!

Hello Everyone. Heather here, and I'm getting ready for Canada Day!

It's a little more than a week away, which means it's a great time for a little bit of Canadiana. With Canadian roots, High Hopes Rubber Stamps has an adorable inventory of themed stamps and sentiments for Canada Day. This one, Canadian Friends, is one of my favorites!

This image comes in two sizes. This one is the smaller one in the inventory (R069) and is about 2.5" x 3.0" in size. If you're looking for the slightly larger version, you can find it here. I didn't have any of the more appropriate Canada Day sentiments, so I chose to use Sending Smiles. Because really, who doesn't smile at that adorable beaver!

Looking for something for the Fourth of July? High Hopes also has some US themed images and sentiments.

I hope you have a wonderful Sunday.

Retired Raymond

Raymond is retired and happy that the nice weather is here so he can golf - his favourite thing to do.
I'm glad Raymond doesn't live where I do.....it has been so wet he wouldn't have gotten much golfing in yet, kind of like most of the people I know who golf. Hopefully the nice weather comes soon and stays so Raymond can it the greens. 

After colouring Raymond with alcohol markers and Prisma pencils I had fussy cut him and set him aside. Next I found patterned paper from MME and cut the pieces to fit my design. I stamped the sentiment in weathered wood distress ink and threaded twine through it. I added Raymond and popped his golf ball up with a foam pop dot. Some matching enamel dots finish off my card.

Gone Fishing - Father's Day

Welcome One Crazy Stamper Fans!

It’s Wednesday, and I’m back to share a second Father's Day card this week that I made for my dad using Bear (High Hopes Rubber Stamps), Bait Shop (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) and Bob Hooked a Big One (High Hopes Rubber Stamps). My dad is an avid Fisherman and from the time he retired years ago, there are very few weeks that go by without him fishing, including winter. LOL!

On the front of my card, I used Bob Hooked a Big One (High Hopes Rubber Stamps). I then fussy cut around the image and mounted it onto some green cardstock and used my Cricut Explore to cut out the lettering.

For the inside of the card, I wanted to try something different and decided to make a pop-up card which I did in several stages.

Stage 1: I cut some green cardstock 12 x 6" and then mounted 6 x 6" piece from 49 and Market Tattered Garden onto one half of it. Next, I scored the paper in half and used Stampendous - Pop-Up Stage Die set to cut 3 pop-up levels as seen in the image below. Then I cut just a little off of each side and mounted the die cut piece onto some brown cardstock, cut 12 x 6". I then used some double-sided pop-up tape to mount the Bait Shop - Bait Shop (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) and the double-side tape to mount the bear - Bear (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) as well.

Here is a close-up of the Bear and Bait Shop.

Stage 2: To create the scene of the bear going through the grass, I used Lawn Fawn - Grassy Hillside Borders. I cut several pieces in various greens and then measured the back pieces to the pop-up that I created earlier. Cutting them at .5 in., 1 in. and 1.5 in. in the centre to fit around the pop-up. I also used some double-sided tape to pop up a few of the die cuts.

Stage 3: Lastly, I typed up an old saying for dad's on my computer, printed it out and die cut it using Your Next Stamp - Stitched Rectangle Die Set (YNSD214).

Here is how the inside looks all finished.

Card Recipe:

Stamps:  Bear (High Hopes Rubber Stamps), Bait Shop (High Hopes Rubber Stamps), Bob Hooked a Big One  (High Hopes Rubber Stamps)

Paper: 49 and Market Tattered Garden - 6 x 6 Collection Pack, Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card, Brown Cardstock, Various Green Cardstocks, Fish Paper
