Boo Pals!

Hello stampers!  I hope you all enjoyed the One Crazy Stamper/High Hopes blog hop yesterday - and if you happened to miss it, just scroll down (after you've checked out my card, of course!!) and you'll be able to link up to all the wonderful creations on the hop.  Today I'm featuring one of the newly released High Hopes images, Boo Pals SS007:
 Isn't that little ghost the cutest?  I coloured my image with Copic markers, and fussy cut around the top of the image.  I've used some fun Doodlebug papers and my favourite embellie - Gumdrops from Your Next Embellie.  Here's a ghost close-up:

Beach Try-fold card

Hello stampers!  I'm kicking off the month of May with a bright & fun Try-fold card using Art Impressions Beach TF Set:
 When I saw these Doodlebug papers in the One Crazy Stamper store - I knew immediately which stamp set I'd use!  The card base is just a flat rectangle of patterned paper, and when the ribbon is untied, this is how it opens:

I tried to colour the signs as though they were weathered with fading paint!
 The stamp set includes all three beachy images, plus the sentiment: "may your life be filled with blessings as countless as the grains of sand" - and includes complete stamping/cutting instructions.  After colouring, I glued some patterned paper to the back of the two side panels to cover up where the markers bled through.  There are several Try-fold stamp sets in the OCS store - so you'll want to check those out!

Fairy Godmother Spinner Card

Hello OCS fans!  I have a very fun card to share today - using one of the new Art Impressions Spinners from their 2015 release.  This little fairy is my absolute favourite out of all the new Ai product!  I've made a spinning easel card to show her off, here is Fairy (Sku #4576):
 The Spinners are literally designed to spin!  The set comes with both a front and back image, and a sentiment.  I have sandwiched a piece of thread between the front and back when I glued her together, and then I've suspended the thread between my die cut frame.  Here's a close up where you can see the thread:
 After colouring the fairy, I used pieces of washi tape to secure two Spellbinder's dies together, and then cut them out twice in the turquiose cardstock to form my frame:
 After fussy cutting the fairy, I drew a light pencil line on the wrong side of her, and ran a line of glue down it to adhere the piece of thread.  Then I glued the fairy together, and sandwiched the top and bottom ends of the thread between the frame pieces.
 My card base is 5 1/2" x 11".  You can see below that I glued two matted pieces of star print paper onto the card front.  I scored a line across the front between the two panels - this is where the card will fold up to the easel shape.  I positioned the smaller of the two dies (the photo shows both, but I removed the larger die before cutting!) in the middle of the front and ran it through my Cuttlebug.  Then I glued the bottom half (only!!) of the turquiose frame on top of the opening, so that when the front is bent upwards, the fairy would be suspended in the frame.
Here is what the card looks like closed:
And finally a few more shots so that you get the idea - you won't believe how difficult this card is to photograph, as she literally spins all the time.  I set her spinning, then quickly shot a bunch of photos until I got her facing forward - it was quite funny :o)

Pedal Pushers Set

Hello everyone!  I am a big fan of the Art Impressions Girlfriends stamps... so I'm sharing a card made with Pedal Pushers today.  I went with some pretty, girly colours:
This is a large image!  So I made a large card: 5" x 6 1/2".  I popped up my image on pop dots so that I could tie twine behind it, and set it on an angle to show off the little piece of grey paper behind them that I zigzagged in a couple of places.

Here's what you can find in the OCS store:

Seniorita Gloria

Hello everyone!  I seem to be in a "bright" phase this week...it helps chase away the winter blahs!!  I am sharing a card using Stamping Bella's Seniorita Gloria, and I reached for my Doodlebug Springtime papers again...
I popped her up with some pop dots, then added a few enamel dots and some Baker's Twine.  I keep my cards fairly graphic & simple, so I opted to put the sentiment on the inside:

Here's a closeup of Gloria:

 
That's it for me for the month of April!  I'll see you in early May for my next post.  Don't forget that our challenge this month is "Anything Goes!"  You may use any stamped image for your card or project (no digis, please!) you can link up your creation here.
