Dragon - Sick Day

Welcome OCS Fans!

It's Wednesday, and so I'm happy to be posting this adorable little dragon to help put a smile on your face! I decided to make an Easel Card this week. The dragon I am using is called "Seymore's Sick Day" by High Hopes Rubber Stamps. It was stamped onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then coloured in with Copic Markers. I then, fussy cut around the entire image.

To do the background behind the dragon, I cut out some Bristol Paper using my Cuttlebug and Lawn Fawn - Zig Zag Rectangle Stackables. Then used Spectrum Noir Aqua Markers to create the ground and shadow beneath the dragon. The clouds were done using Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Salty Ocean and I had created a stencil from Avery Elle - Custom Steel Dies - Pierced Clouds Die. Finally, I ran my little dragon through the Xyron machine and layered it on top of the background that I had created.

Close up of the Dragon:

For the sentiment I used "Tail Not Waggin / Get Well Soon" by High Hopes Rubber Stamps. I stamped the sentiment using VersaFine - Onyx Black and then embossed with Ranger - Clear Super Fine Detail Embossing Powder.

I completed card by using the Zig Zag dies again to cut out  a border around the coloured image and sentiment. Sentiment was popped up with some pop-up squares. Around the background papers, frames and sentiment I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Wilted Violet.

Background Paper, Recollections - Petite Floral - 12 x 12" (30.4 x 30.4 cm) and some flowers from my collection were then used to complete the card.

To make the Easel Card I just took a 5.5" x 12" piece of white cardstock and then scored at 6" and then on one of the 6" portions at 3". This allows the card to lay flat when mailing.

Party Animals

Welcome OCS Fans!

Sharing a fun card featuring: High Hopes - Wild Party and sentiment High Hopes - Birthday Party Animals! I just love these little characters.

I first stamped the sentiment using Tim Holtz Distress Inks - Dusty Concord and then to emboss it I used some Versamark and Ranger - Clear Super Fine Detail embossing powder. Using my MISTI, made this very easy to do. I decided to add a little bit of bling as well, so I die cut a few small balloons and added them on each side of the sentiment. I also decided to give them some fuzzy pop-poms on their hats to finish them off. Enjoy!

Happy St. Patty's Day

Hi Everyone,

 

St. Patrick's Day is coming up soon and so I thought I'd share this adorable little frog and an old Irish saying featuring High Hopes Rubber Stamps - Frog In Boxers Q018 and High Hopes Rubber Stamps - Irish Blessing2 P132 for the sentiment. My grandmother and her family came over from Ireland when they were very young so I am also part Irish and love celebrating St. Patrick's Day. 

 

When I saw these two stamps from High Hopes, I just knew that I had to put them together to make this card.

 

 

On the inside is the Irish saying:

 

 

 

 

Happy St. Paddy's Day Everyone!

Card Kits #25 & #26

We are just days away from Scrapfest in Kitchener, Ontario (April 13 & 14), so I wanted to share the final two card kits that will be available in the One Crazy Stamper booth.  Kit #25 is one of my all-time favourite Card Kits featuring Winter Moose RR019 and merry Christmoose G142 from High Hopes Rubber Stamps!

 This card has such a classic Canadian Christmas feel to it!  I've coloured his hat & scarf to mimic a buffalo plaid (just like our Olympic team!) and tucked in a few sprigs of greenery.  The sentiment is raised up on pop dots. The Card Kits contain all the pieces to put together four cards, including all of the cut paper, card bases & envelopes.  What you need to provide is black ink, the colouring method of your choice, and adhesives.  There is a full colour instruction sheet that includes a photo, step-by-step instructions including a list of the Copic colours that are used in the sample, and all of the cutting measurements so that you can make more cards using your own supplies later.  The kit contains both the image and sentiment as unmounted red rubber stamps - so you'll want to pick up some EZ Mount adhesive cushion from the OCS store as well.

 Now this is something that I'm very excited about!!  Welcome to our first ever OCS Quick Kit! - Card Kit #26.  Like the other kits, you get all the cut pieces, die cuts, card bases & envelopes to put together four cards - along with the Cookies & Cocoa Script H096 sentiment stamp from High Hopes Rubber Stamps.  *The main difference being that there is no image to colour.  Just stamp the sentiment on the four white ovals in the kit, and you can have all four cards assembled within half an hour.  Who doesn't need a few quick Christmas cards?  And of course, you'll get all of the instructions and measurements to make a bunch more with your own supplies.
*If you can't make it to Scrapfest, any remaining kits will be available in the store after the show. Happy Stamping!

Card Kit #24

Today I am sharing the 3rd of five new festive themed card kits that will be available next weekend at Scrapfest in Kitchener (April 13th & 14th) at the One Crazy Stamper booth.  We all want to make hedgehog cards for Christmas (of course!) so today's kit is just the thing - here is Happy Mail SS002 and Dot Warm Winter Wishes H257 from High Hopes Rubber Stamps:

I love the rustic feel of this!

Winter Owl Card Kit

I have Card Kit #23 to share with you today - there will be five brand new holiday-themed card kits available at the One Crazy Stamper booth at Scrapfest in Kitchener, April 13th & 14th.  If there are any kits still available after the show, you'll see them in the OCS store after those dates.  Today's kit features Winter Owl RR020 and Warm Winter Wishes Bold H098 from High Hopes Rubber Stamps:

I just adore all the little High Hopes owls!  You can colour him however you like, but I was trying to imitate a buffalo plaid on his hat & scarf...

New OCS Card Kits!

Happy Easter!!  I am sneaking onto the blog with a guest post to share one of the new Card Kits that will be available at Scrapfest in Kitchener, Ontario - April 13th & 14th... and possibly on the OCS website if there are any left after the show.  Everybody always wants to get a head start on their Christmas cards, so this year we've got 5 festive kits that will get you adding to your stash early in the year.  Here is Card Kit #22 featuring Santa's List R154 and Naughty List JJ004 from High Hopes Rubber Stamps:

This sentiment is an all-time favourite of mine!  Can't you think of a dozen friends that this would be perfect for?  The Card Kits contain all the pieces to put together four cards, including all of the cut paper, die cut snowflakes, card bases & envelopes.  What you need to provide is black ink, the colouring method of your choice, and adhesives.  There is a full colour instruction sheet that includes a photo, step-by-step instructions including a list of the Copic colours that are used in the sample, and all of the cutting measurements so that you can make more cards using your own supplies later.  The kit contains both the image and sentiment as unmounted red rubber stamps - so you'll want to pick up some EZ Mount adhesive cushion from the OCS store as well.
     *In this particular kit, you will get supplies to make two cards as shown, and two cards will have the background papers switched, with the stripe being the larger piece on top.  Quantities are limited, so be sure to hit the One Crazy Stamper booth at Scrapfest (I've had a sneak peek to see what Lora is bringing to the show - you'll want to stop by for sure!!).  Come back and visit the blog, as I'll be sharing the rest of the Card Kits over the next few weeks.  Happy stamping!

A Happy Penguin card

Hello everyone!  I am sliding a guest post in just before Christmas with a card featuring my two favourite High Hopes stamps!  I made four of these up this afternoon, and have pieces cut and ready to assemble four more.  Here is Happy Penguin #PP002 and that funky little tree Simple Winter Tree #RR021 :

 I used Copic markers to colour the penguin and the tree on the right, the others were paper pieced.  I used pop dots to raise the penguin up a little and added some snowflake die cuts.

 A few weeks ago, I made a tag that I just adored, and it was my inspiration for making up the cards.  Since my cards have all been sent out this year, these are the first of my 2018 stash!  Have a very Merry Christmas!

Another Kit! and a Garage Sale!

Hello everyone!  Hope you're enjoying a crafty Saturday :o)  I have the latest OCS Card Kit ( #21 ) to share, but first an ad - if you're in the Bolton area, stop by the One Crazy Stamper store today, there is a Garage Sale going on!  Gently used or (a ton of) never before used products are up for grabs at some amazing prices.  First come first served - bring some cash with you!

And now for the newest card kit... Here is Polar Sleigh RR006 from High Hopes Rubber Stamps:

He is a little different from our other card kits - as you'll be creating a little scene.  Everything you need to create four cards is included in the kit - card bases & envelopes, cut pieces and stamps.  You need some ink, adhesive, pop dots and the colouring medium of your choice to complete them.  The stamps are unmounted rubber, so you'll want to pick up some EZ Mount stamp cushion if you don't have any at home.  The sentiment is Think Snow 2 - also included.  You'll get a full colour instruction sheet including Copic colouring suggestions.  These are available right now in the OCS store here!  And if you're heading to the Creative Festival in Toronto next weekend - you can grab a few card kits there at the booth.  Happy stamping!

Elf Christmas Card Kits

Oh my, these are the cutest little elf images from the most recent High Hopes release!  I couldn't resist making them into card kits with some wonderful traditional red & green papers.  Here is Card Kit #19 with Elvin Eldar RR014 and Sm Christmas Script F051:

 And here is my favourite - Card Kit #20 using Alvin Elvin RR010 with Have your Elf H094 as the sentiment:

 These kits have me feeling so festive!  Each kit contains card bases, envelopes, rubber stamps and all of the cut pieces shown here to put together four identical cards as shown.  A full colour instruction sheet is included along with Copic marker colour suggestions - although you can colour them with whatever medium & colours that you choose.  The instructions also include all of the cut measurements so that you can make more cards using whatever papers you have on hand.  The best part?  You'll have four cards made up in no time, and the stamps are yours to keep.  You'll see all six of the current card kits here in the One Crazy Stamper online store.  Stay tuned... I *may* be working on some new ones!  Happy stamping!

Two more Card Kits!

Well the weather where I live has finally settled into some fall-like temperatures, so it's the perfect time to settle into your craft room and get started on your Christmas cards!  One Crazy Stamper has six new card kits to get you started - I am going to share two new ones with you today.  Here is Card Kit #17 featuring Little Drummer Boy & Friends RR015 with the sentiment Pa Rum Pa Pum Pum H090 both from High Hopes Rubber Stamps:

 And here is Card Kit #16 featuring Christmas Baby Girl RR012 with the sentiment Dot Warm Winter Wishes H257 from High Hopes Rubber Stamps:

 Each card kit includes the card bases, envelopes, rubber stamps and all the cut pieces required to make four cards exactly as shown here - even the little poinsettia die cuts and the stars for the Drummer boy card.  There is a full colour instruction sheet that includes a list of suggested Copic markers (you can colour them any way you like, with your preferred medium!) along with the cutting measurements in case you'd like to create more cards using your own paper.  So all you need to do is head over to the One Crazy Stamper store in Bolton (if you're nearby!) or to the website here to see all of the card kits... then after a little colouring, you'll have four cards put together faster than you can say "I love cardmaking!"

I'll be back next Saturday with the last two kits!  Happy stamping :o)

Oh, and did I mention that the kits are just $21.95?
