Just Married!

Hello!
Look at this cute couple!!! They are part of the High Hopes Stamps Spring 2016 release and just in time for "wedding season". This stamp is called "Just Married" and you can also purchase the matching SVG File to cut around your image with your electronic die machine.

I was inspired by my talented friend Natalie! She does a lot of Vintage looking creations and I wanted to give it a try as well. I inked all the edges of the Design paper and cardstock with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I added lace and a lace type flower that I also inked the edges of. I added a doily behind the image and popped it up with foam squares for more dimension. The little sentiment is from a paper collection I had in my stash. To keep with the Vintage themed colours I challenged myself to use only Copic Markers from the Earth tones.

To help keep the card upright and from sliding I fashioned a little piece of cardstock and attached it to both sides of the Easel Card.

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E21, E93, E95

Hair: E04, E07, E09 / E43, E44, E47

My Sunshine

Happy Thursday OCS Fans! I hope you're all having a great week!

I don't know about you, but every once and awhile a stamp reminds you of a friend, situation or a fun time in your life. 

That happened for me this week when I used the "Besties" stamp. One of my dear childhood friends has an orange striped cat she has had for 16 years. Her name is Sunshine and she rules the roost over the dog! 

Close Up

I have to be honest, I didn't want to try colouring the stripes on the cat, but I dis succeed with leaving her white belly and paw tips. The card in my head was working out fine until my favourite outlining marker ran out of ink a 1/4 of the way through outlining the stamp - grrrr!!! I ended up fussy cutting the stamp when I hadn't intended too!

After colouring and fussy cutting my image, I cut out a doily from YNS for the sun. All the edges of the patterned paper from Basic Grey and Forever In Time are inked with pumpkin pie ink from Stampin' Up. American Crafts Twine, a flower from Prima and some sparkly gumdrops finish off my card.

Owl Hellooo

Happy Thursday OCS Fans! 

I hope you're all having a good week and enjoying the sounds of Spring and hopefully seeing some sun. 

This week's post is sharing Waving Owl, one of the cute, pudgy owls from the new release at High Hopes Stamps and the Hellooo sentiment.

I started by cutting Waving Owl with my Cricut using the svg file (07), then stamping it using my Misti and coloured with my alcohol markers. I cut my light blue cardstock and embossed it using a Polka Dot embossing folder and added some white cardstock puffy clouds. Waving Owl is waving so I mounted him with an action wobble so he wiggles and jiggles when the card is moved - so fun!

Puppy Love

Happy Thursday OCS Fans! 

Puppy Love is one of my favourite stamps from the High Hopes Spring 2016 Collection release. I love the whole release, but sometimes there is a stamp.. or..two..or three that become a fast favourite.

This little girl with her dog is just tooo cute! I have a little dog but this big dog reminds me of my neighbours St. Bernard who when she sees me will come running over and plop herself down on my foot - just to get "some lovin'" as her owner says.......puppy love and snuggles are the best!

I started by cutting Puppy Love and the background out with my Cricut using the svg files (07 and 14) and then stamping it using my Misti. I stamped my sentiment at the same time with faded jeans distress ink and mounted it on Bazzill cardstock. 

The skirt and bow are paper pieced from some denim paper I had in my stash. To be totally honest, I had coloured the skirt and bow and didn't like my colour combo...what's a gal to do besides recolour the whole thing? well, paper piecing worked this time lol. 

I cut my centre step card base from a pattern in an old Card Maker magazine and added patterned paper. Faded jeans distress ink was used to add some flourishes to the paper. Denim coloured ribbon - love this ribbon - and some sparkly navy blue gumdrops are the finishing touches.

Dropping In To Say....

I have some owl cuteness to share with you today. I love all the cute, pudgy owls and their accessories in the High Hopes Spring 2016 Collection. So many ideas bouncing around in my head!

For my card I used Happy Owl and the co-ordinating SVG file (07), Birthday Hat and Fancy Script Happy Birthday stamps.

Owl Close Up

I started by cutting out the Happy Owl SVG file with my Cricut and then stamped Happy Owl using my Misti. I also "partially" stamped Happy twice more and coloured all my images, including the birthday hat with alcohol markers. 

It's hard to see in the picture but I like a little bling so I added some glitter to the tassel on the hat. I added my stamps to my background paper so Happy looks like he is floating down out of the sky with his birthday wishes. The last one is popped up with pop dots.

I created part of the sentiment on my computer and combined it with the Happy Birthday stamp. Lightly pulled apart cotton balls form the clouds.

Just Married!

It's Thursday already! Wow time sure does fly! I hope you have all enjoyed some sun and beautiful weather lately - I know I have!!!! 

I kept the layout simple on this card because I really wanted the stamp to stand out. The sentiment and message will be included on the inside when I'm ready to give it.

I have neighbours who are getting married this summer, so the "Just Married" stamp from the Spring 2016 Collection from High Hopes is perfect!  The Groom to be owns a red antique tractor and races a tractor trailer and tractors so I purposely cut my image out on a slight angle. He will get a kick out of the fact that the "groom" is "driving" on two wheels.

My stamp is coloured with alcohol markers (list below) and cut out with a Stitched Rectangle die from Your Next Stamp.

To create my frame, I cut out a piece of white card stock and then used the same stitched rectangle die to cut out my window.

The embossed frame around the square was done by measuring the size of square I wanted and marking it with pencil on the back side of my frame. 

Then I put it on my Scor-Pal and scored out my frame and popped it up with pop dots. 

To achieve the blue sky around our happy couple, I left the paper with the image on it in the die and taped the die to the paper (on the backside). Then I took my sponge, ink and dauber and added the ink. It is very hard to see in the picture but the bumper, mirror and hearts on the Just Married sign are all done with Silver Wink of Stella, and Glossy Accents were added to the mirror.
