You Are Loved!

Hello OCS Fans!

Valentine's Day is a two days away so I thought it was the perfect time to get this cutie out of hiding LOL! Meet "Ladybug Love" from High Hopes Stamps! She is just so stinking cute!

I created my own background using distress Oxide Inks in Candied Apple, Picked Raspberry and Worn Lipstick on some Tim Holtz Distress Woodgrain paper. I added some ink splatters using Ebony Black Nuvo Drops, water and a paintbrush. I also used the Ebony Black Drops on her antenna. The "You Are Loved" sentiment on the front is also from High Hopes. A few die cut heart circles and enamel dots help to finish off my card.

On the inside I used the HH "Hugs & Hugs" Sentiment

Copics Used:

C5, C6, C8

R01, R02, R20, R22, R24

RV000, Y35, Y38, G24

Hogs & Kisses!

Hello OCS Fans!!

Valentine's Day is around the corner so I thought it was the perfect time to create a card using the High Hopes "Betsy Loves Barney" Stamp! Pigs are some of the cutest images but 2 pigs in love..... just doesn't get sweeter than that!

I decided to mask off each pig and stamp them separately to create my little windows and then stamp the whole image. I imagine them flirting with each other and then coming together for that first kiss. My papers today are from the American Crafts "Loves Me Not" 6x6 collection. I made little circle frames from my Ai Double Stitched circle dies. It's hard to see but the "Xo" paper is popped up with foam tape so that the images are sunken down inside the frame. I took the HH "Hogs and Kisses" sentiment and cut it apart so that it could fit inside my Stitched Heart die cut. A double loop bow, heart gem and some Doodlebug Tiny Heart Sprinkles finish everything off!

My decorated inside along with the HH "Always and Forever" sentiment.

Copics Used:

R00, R01, R02, R20, R21, R22, R24

Make sure to head on over to the High Hopes and One Crazy Stamper Blogs as the Design Team will be using stamps for the theme "A Month of Love" to inspire you!

Winter Owl!

Hello OCS Fans!

We finally have some winter weather and snow here in Ontario Canada. I'm feeling like this little "Winter Owl" from High Hopes Stamps is perfect for the Winter vibe here! 

I've had this paper from LDRS Called "Arctic Winter" that I've been dying to use and it was perfect for this adorable "Winter Owl" image. Winter Owl actually has some Christmas ornaments in the stamp. I masked them off before stamping my image for more of a winter theme rather than Christmas. I added Crystal Stickles to the pink areas on her hat and scarf and Liquid Appliqué to the snow on the branches. A bit pink bow finishes everything off.

I popped the inner octagon and image up with foam tape for a dimensional look.

More papers for a decorated inside and the High Hopes "Winter Wonderland" sentiment.

Copics Used:

W00, W0, W1, W2, W3

Warm Winter Wishes!

Hello OCS Fans!

Today I'm sharing this cute trio of cards to hopefully brighten your winter day! I used the High Hopes image called "Bluebirdy".

I coloured this cutie with my Copic Markers and then fussy cut her out using my Brother Cut N Scan.  I'm using papers from the Pebbles "Winter Wonderland" 6x6 collection. 

I popped "Bluebirdy" up on top of the Lacey circle with some foam tape for added dimension.

Each bird has some Stickles added to her fur trim and pom pom for added fun! A few Doodlebug sequins finish everything off. The "Dot Warm Winter Wishes" sentiment is also from High Hopes.

It's Winter now and many fishermen I know love to go ice fishing. I thought this would be a perfect card for one of them. Meet "Ice Fishing Penguin" from High Hopes Stamps! He's just adorable and perfect for a winter themed card!

The Echo Park "Celebrate Winter" 6x6 collection was perfect for my card! I added some Spectrum Noir Glitter pen to the ice and a bit of Diamond Stickles as well.

It's about a week away until this Jolly O'l Elf comes down your chimney spreading some Christmas Cheer.  This is the "Santa in Chimney" rubber stamp from High Hopes! I hope he can squeeze down that chimney! Some Santa magic may be needed lol!
