Furry Hugs!

Happy Hump Day!

Hello all you OCS fans! Just popping in with a quick card using the new High Hopes Stamp called "Puppy Love" and the sentiment "Love Blooms". Nothing better than a hug to make your day complete from your furry friends!

I chose papers from the Simple Stories Carp Diem 6x6 collection. I cut out a bunch of different sizes of MFT Fishflags and layered them on my card. I added a bit of matching twine, some Stickles on her bow and a sprinkling of tiny heart sequins to finish off my design.

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.

Hi Fellow Crafters;

Another month has been and gone, and now we have a brand new month with a brand new challenge here at OCS.

For my post today, I have used this sweet image called Puppy Love from High Hopes Rubber Stamps Spring 2016 Collection.  For the background papers I used the Heidi Swapp Minc Machine to foil them with Rose Gold and Mint Reactive Foil.  The colour in the bottom part of the photo looks lighter and this is due to the reactive foil and light.  I used an Elizabeth Craft Shimmer Sheet to cut the butterflies.
