Birthday Bob

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

Today I'm popping in to share a card I made for our friends 70th birthday this past weekend.  This handsome dude is Birthday Bob with the Caution sentiment from High Hopes Rubber Stamps.  Our friend thought this guy was pretty handsome too.

It's always a challenge to make a manly looking card, well it is for me lol.  I have a paper crimper from Marvy which was one of my very first tools purchases when I began scrapbooking.  It was such a good addition to my stash.  I'm not sure if they still make it.  If you don't have one take a look inside your cookie packages etc.  A lot of companies use crimped paper in their packaging & it's a great way to re-purpose things.  I added some burlap for a little extra texture & some self adhesive gumdrops for a pop of colour.

Birthday Bob - T080

Hair - E37, E35, E34

Skin - E11, E00, E01, E000 & R20

Shirt - E87, E84, E81

Orange - YR07, YR04, YR02

Blue - B39, B37, B34, B32

Yellow - Y13, Y11

I hope you enjoyed today's post & thanks for stopping by....happy craftin'!

Hugs,

Merry Christmas Eh!

Warm Winter Wishes!

Hello OCS Fans!

It's the 2nd last day of the "Christmas in July" theme over on the High Hopes and One Crazy Stamper Blogs! Since Christmas is my favourite Holiday, it's been super fun making these cards when the temperatures are hot LOL. This is the rubber stamp "Buddy's Gift Block" from High Hopes. 

This is my 5th card in my "Christmas in July series" and keeping with my theme, I have once again used non traditional colours on my card. I coloured "Buddy" up to match the papers I am using from the Penny Black "Festive & Frosty" 6x6 collection. I always love to add lots of layers to my cards. This one is no different! Buddy is popped up with foam squares as is the ornament paper as well. Added dimension just makes your card pop I think. All the designer and cardstock papers are inked on the edges with Vintage photo Distress Ink. This I feel just adds another layer of dimension. A piece of ribbon, bow, tree gem and Stickles on Buddy's hat finish off my design today.

I am using the High Hopes sentiment called "Dot Warm Winter Wishes" on the decorated card inside.

Copics Used:

Buddy: C0, C1, C3, C4, C7, C9

Greens: BG11, BG32, BG34

Purples: V15, V19/ V04, V06, V09 (dots on present)

Bird: B91, B95, B97

Happy Stamping!

Supplies:

Think Snow!

Hello OCS Fans!

It's "Christmas in July" over on the High Hopes and One Crazy Stamper Blogs! It sure has been fun creating these Christmas cards through the heat wave we've been having LOL! This stamp is called "Let the Snow Begin".....hmmmmm I almost want it to be true just to get a break from the heat. I know, don't complain right.... we had an awful Spring and I really do like the warmer weather.

I am using papers today from the MME Sugar Plum 6x6 collection that I've had for awhile now. I love using non traditional colours for Christmas and these papers fit the bill! I coloured in the image with my Copic Sketch Markers and then using my Brother Cut N Scan cut the image out as well as a cardstock layer to put behind it. Lots of layers and all the paper edges are inked with Vintage Photo Distressed ink for my card design. I used some Stampendous Spoonful of Snow for a fun dimensional and sparkly effect.   Now I know you are supposed to add the "snow" and heat with your heat gun from underneath. Me and glitter don't go so well together and it usually flies all over the place LOL. This time I tried using some Glue Gloss first (looks like a tube of lipgloss) then put the "Snow" on top, pressed it down a bit and then melted it with my heat gun. It worked so much better and I wasn't wearing glitter all weekend LOL.

I used foam tape on my stamped image for added dimension.

Copics Used:

R20, R21, R22, R24

BG13, BG15, BG23

C00, C2, YR04, YR09

B000, B00, B01

Happy Stamping!

Snow Day!

Hello and Happy Sunday!

It's Christmas in July and since we don't have any snow for this occasion, I decided to bring it to you in my weekly project. Check out the adorable Snow Couple Block.

I love that this great stamp could be used both for your Christmas holiday cards and your "happy winter" cards. So many Christmas stamps almost force you to reach for the red...and more red, but this stamp let me play with other colors of the season, and maybe some that aren't so Christmasy.

That's it for me today, but there will be more great inspiration from my Design Team counterparts. Here at One Crazy Stamper, we have new inspiration for your each and every day!

Mooshie's Christmas Kiss

This week's card features the adorable Mooshie and Mudzie. 
Mooshie seems to have caught Mudzie by surprise under the mistletoe and has swooped in for a Christmas kiss! This stamp just makes me giggle and will be perfect to bring a smile to someone on my Christmas card giving list. 

After colouring Mooshie and Mudzie with alcohol markers and Prisma pencils I hand fussy cut them leaving a this white border. The mistletoe was stamped and cut from the Under the Mistletoe stamp and Stickles were added to the "berries" for a bit of bling. 
An oval die was cut to use as the background. Paper from Echo Park was perfect for this stamp as it kind of looks like mistletoe on the paper. The sentiment was stamped and cut to size and mounted on matching cardstock. 
Some sparkly ribbon and gumdrops finish off my card.
