Heard It's Been Ruff

I am having so much fun with the stamps in the new Get Well Soon release! 
When I am sick I have the best four legged nurse ever! My dog loves to cuddle with me when I'm sick and he is even more cuddly when he isn't feeling well. 
I have numerous friends who's dogs do the same thing for them and some of them, like me suffer from spring colds and allergies. 
Sick Puppy is the perfect stamp to make a feel better soon card for one of those friends. 




For my card this week I challenged myself to step out of my colour comfort zone. I think we all have our go colours and this week I wanted to show some love to some markers I don't use as often.
 I coloured up this cutie with alcohol markers added some shading using Prisma pencils and cut him out using a stitched rectangle die. Paper from Photo Play was perfect for my colour combo and some matching ribbon and shaped sprinkles were the perfect finishing touches. It is hard to see in the photo but I added a bit of sparkle with some silver Wink of Stella to the thermometer just for fun.

We Gnome Best!

Hello OCS Fans!
I am absolutely in love with this pair of Gnomes from the new "Get Well" release over at High Hopes Rubber Stamps! This is the "Gnoming You Better" red rubber stamp. I don't know about you, but if these two walked in my room I'd be cheered up immediately! They just bring a smile to my face!
I am using paper from an older Pink and Main "Beach Bum" 6x6 collection on today's card. I stamped and coloured the image with my Copic Sketch Markers and cut them out using the Gina Marie "Loopy Squares" die set. I wanted to colour the male Gnome in "hospital greens" and added glitter pen to the red elements and the medical instruments. The "We Gnome Best" sentiment is also from the new "Get Well" collection.
On the inside I used the HH "Stacked Get Well" sentiment and also stamped the "Gnoming You Better" image in the bottom corner with Distress ink in Scattered Straw.
Copics Used:
Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, R20
Hair: E47, E57, E35, E31

Take a Tissue - High Hopes Stamps


I'm happy to say I think spring has finally arrived in my little corner of the world and I'm happy about that.

This 'not feeling very well' gopher image is Take a Tissue from the High Hopes Stamps new Get Well Soon collection and the sentiment is  part of the Tail Not Waggin stamp.

I didn't have a small enough sentiment to fit in the area but this one fits the bill.  There are 11 new images and 12 new sentiments in the collection so you've got plenty to choose from and there's something for everyone. 
You can find lots of inspiration from the Design Team Divas at the One Crazy Stamper blog, and the One Crazy Stamper Facebook Fan page plus you can also follow us on Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest.

Speedy Recovery

Hello, welcome back to One Crazy Stamper! It's Heather, with you Sunday inspiration. Last Sunday a posted a card with Seymore's Sick Day. I mentioned I had been experimenting with dragon colors, so today I have a slightly more yellow/green alternative.

Both look great when paired with the right papers!

I also used the Back on your Feet sentiment with this cutie. The length of the sentiment didn't quite go in the space I had available, so I carefully cut it down into four pieces and made it work for my layout. Love it!

Thanks for stopping by today, have a great weekend!

Happy 60th Birthday!

Hi One Crazy Stamper Fans!

Hello There! My brother turned 60 this year and so I had to have some fun with his card. LOL!  I thought the background paper was perfect for his card with all those candles.

I used the stamp from High Hopes Rubber Stamps called "Birthday Bob" and coloured in the image with Copic markers. I tried to colour the candles to match the background paper.

The sentiment was created in Microsoft Word using Cooper Black font and then printed out on my printer. Then I die cut it with My Creative Time - Stitched Circle Balloon Dies using my Cuttelbug and completed the edging around the balloon with Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Fossilized Amber.




The main image and co-ordinating rectangles were all die cut with Your Next Stamp - Stitched Rectangle Die Set.


On the inside of the card I loved the sentiment:  Birthday Emergency (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) and Firefighter Dragon (High Hopes Rubber Stamps). My brother is also a Firefighter so I couldn't resist the temptation! LOL!
He loved his card and I hope you do too!
