Spring Is In the Air!

Happy Tuesday OCS Peeps!

"Spring Is In the Air" and boy do I wish I could get into the garden like the High Hopes "Gardener Bunny"! We moved into a new development last June and we still don't have our grass or any flower beds yet. I know it's a bit early here in Ontario, but I sure would like to play in the garden!

You could certainly use "Gardener Bunny" for an Easter card as well. I chose to use papers from the Doodlebug "Hoppy Easter" 6x6 collection. I added lots of paper layers and tilted some of them for a different look. Sine I love my Copic Markers, that is what I used to colour my image.

I always like to add dimension to my cards. I like to pop ups the different layers with foam squares. I think it makes everything stand out better!

Copics Used:

Bunny: C00. C0. C1, C3, R01

Outfit: V22, V25, V28, Y15, Y18, RV17, RV19

Carrots: G28, G46, YG17, YG23 / YR04, YR07, YR09

Hat: E50, E51, R53, E55

Hoe: E44, E47, Silver Wink of Stella

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Stamping!

Pelican's Post

Hi there and here we are at the start of a new week.

For today's card, I am using Pelican's Post which is an older image from High Hopes.  I've had it for a long time but never had a chance to use it - I always say I like to let my stamps cure!  Anyway, we moved a couple years ago and ever since I was asked to join the One Crazy Stamper design team, I have been rooting around trying to find some of my stamps.  Finally I had a bit of success and found three but there's a few more so I'll probably obsess about that until I find them.  At any rate, I've always liked this stamp so am happy to finally use it.

Easter Treats

Happy Sunday Everyone!! I hope you had an outstanding week.

Easter is right around the corner, so I decided to make for you today a couple of Easter treat bags using Small Easter Bunny. This cutie comes in a larger size as well, but I thought the smaller size was perfect for my project.

The first treat bag is a simple design with no sides on it. It's basically a long piece of cardstock scored into a triangular shape, with an extra flap to close the bag up. The wrapped treat has been stapled to the front panel. I put a magnet closure in it to make it easy to reuse, if you like.

The second treat bag is fully enclosed. The top ties shut with the ribbon closure, making it perfect for many Easter treats, from wrapped to unwrapped. This treat holder also uses the High Hopes Script Easter Greetings sentiment.

Here they are side by side. For those of you interested in copic colors, I used C00, C0, C1, C3 and C5 for my rabbits, with a little RV10 on their nose and inside their ears. And, I used E33, Y21, Y23 and YR23 for the floppy Easter hat. The rest of the colors can be planned to match your project. 

Have a terrific end to the weekend and a beautiful week!

Springtime JOy

Spring is here and my dog has Moe has his "spring beans" as I call them. It is like the whole winter he has saved his energy so when spring arrives he becomes my wild child. Everything is done with a spring in his step and his chest pushed out like he owns the world. 

When I had my horse it was the same thing. First day out in the field was a challenge for him to decide ......do I stop and eat grass or run around my field bucking and kicking............

The playful goats stamp reminds me of the pent up energy that my dog has - you know the kind......when all you want to do is run, play and kick up your heels! 

After colouring my stamp with alcohol markers and Prisma pencils I hand fussy cut it. I wanted to put the goat on the left that is bucking on an action wobble so I cut him out completely. The mini action wobble is literally the width of his body so I had to be very precise with my placement but it sure adds a fun element! 
I wanted to keep my layout more to the CAS side of card making to keep the focus on this fun stamp, so I grabbed some blue check paper and some white card stock andcut a circle out of if. I  the card stock in to my Misti and placed the sentiment and stamped it. 
All of the paper is edged with antique linen distress ink, stitched clouds popped up with foam dots and some enamel dots finish off my fairly CAS design.

Sweet Dreams!

Hello OCS Fans!

This month over on the High Hopes and One Crazy Stamper blogs, the Designs Teams will be inspiring you with "Thoughts of Spring" themed cards. When I saw this stamp called "Sweet Dreams",  I just knew it was perfect for the theme! After what seemed like a long Winter, I want to be this cute ant catching some "rays" in a hammock! Maybe he'll switch places with me LOL!

I decided to make a "Window Surprise" card today. I love how you have a small peak of the image but when you open the card you get a "surprise" with the whole image. I chose paper from the Echo Park Spring Fling 6x6 pad. The fun patterns and colours just are perfect for a Spring card. After I glued my paper layers together I ran it through my die cut machine to cut out the heart shape. Using 2 different heart sizes I made a little heart frame. A double bow and some enamel dots finish the front of my card.

Here you get an idea of the window. The sentiment is also from High Hopes and is called "One of Those Days".

On the inside is the cute "surprise" of the full coloured image. I stamped the HH "Hang In There" directly onto the square die cut with my image. The flower and flip flop both have glitter pen added to them.

Copics Used:

Greens: G28, G46, YG17, YG23, YG21

Red: R20, R21, R22, R2Yellow: Y15, Y18

Ground: E31, E35

Outline Shadow: B0000, B000, B00

Happy Stamping!

Supplies:

Happy Pigs

Happy as a pig in mud is a saying which must be what these two are grinning about!  

I paired the Happy Pigs image with the Hogs & Kisses sentiment and I think they are a perfect match.  I decided to really mix it up do a circular card for a change.  Silly... it's not a big change but it seems like square cards is all I do lately.
