Woodland Friends -- High Hopes Stamps

Thanks for peeking in today. I wanted to wish you a very Merry Christmas.  We are only one day away and I look forward to the celebrations. 

The new collection of stamps from High Hopes is precious.  I love mother natures critters and adore this darling moose. 

I used the following High Hopes Stamps found here...

 Moose and Friends found here!

Good Times found here!

 The image is part of a tag and I totally love stamps that I can get multiple uses from. I'm short on one more card for Christmas and decided to remove the tag portion of the stamped image and create a woodland theme. 

The image is coloured with Copics, snowy hills were hand cut using white card stock.  The background was embossed with a snowy folder. Some snowy trees and added woodland friends to complete the scene.

The sentiment as stamped in Tim Holtz Festive Berries.  Red twine and some washi tape too.

Thanks for peeking. Not a moose but its most likely the closest I will see in the city.  This male deer was at my back yard bird feeder this week!! 

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas OCS Fans! 

We are only four days away from Christmas - can you believe it!?

 We have officially experienced our first "significant snowfall" of the season so I though it was appropriate to use the "Singing Crazy Birds" stamp from the new release.

It's a good thing they have their hats and scarves on with the weather that has arrived! 

After colouring these cuties up with alcohol markers I cut them out with a stitched oval die. I used this month's challenge sketch for my card layout (below). The sentiment - also from the new release - was stamped and cut out with a stitched oval to match. All of this cuteness was mounted onto cardstock and added to patterned paper base. Some floss and gumdrops finish off my card. Glitter snow was added to the snow on the branch and the pom poms on their hats - kinda hard to see but sparkly in real life.

Welcome back for another crazy week and I mean it is crazy.  Christmas is 5 days away and I for one am not ready at all; shopping still to do, presents to wrap, the house is a mess and it goes on.  The good thing is that the dryer is finally fixed after three weeks, but the dishwasher now needs fixing as it has a mysterious error message.  Oh the trials of going crazy.

Anyway for my post today here at OCS, I have used the adorable stamp called "Seeds of Friendship" from the latest release of High Hopes Stamps called Woodland Friends.  I added some Flower Soft to the rabbits' tails and used Snow Writer to add some snow.

Supplies used:

• Stamps:  Seeds of Friendship, Friends are For (Woodland Friends - High Hopes Stamps)
• Ink:  Staz On Jet Black
• Paper:  DP - Winter Wishes (BoBunny)
• Spectrum Noir Pencils: Nature Set - 059, 090, 094, 103; Primaries - 078, 080, 065, 068; Essentials - 004, 005, 111, 112
• Flower Soft:  Polar White

There is still plenty of time to enter this month's challenge "Always Friends", for a chance to win 2 unmounted High Hopes Stamps of your choice.

If you need any supplies or have a wish list for Santa, do visit Lora's OCS store very soon for some great products and amazing prices.  I'm sure Santa would love to help.

Sweet Melody....

Karen Letchworth, OCS' Saturday Guest Designer is back with another adorable card, using the adorable Sweet Melody from High Hopes Rubber Stamps.

Today is Saturday once again, and time for a new blog post for One Crazy Stamper to showcase another lovely High Hopes Rubber Stamp called Sweet Melody.  I stamped the Sweet Melody stamp onto vellum with Tim Holtz Black Soot Distress Ink and colored the image with my Copic Markers.  This would be a great stamp to use for the musicians in your life.  I am actually a flutist, and have been playing the flute for almost 40 years now.  I don't have as many opportunities to play any more, but now and then I do play it at church, or with my group of friends that I perform with sometimes.  We primarily sing (in a small group), but like I said, every now and then I get the opportunity to play my flute.

  

Once I had the image stamped and colored, I attached it to a pink gingham patterned paper on a brown paper bag card base.  I also attached some sequins, miniature pearl stickers, washi tapes, and solid green baker's twine.  I also used some Silver Stickles on the flute to make it look shiny and silver.  The sentiment is a sticker from October Afternoon.  It's fun to add little touches here and there to give the card some personality.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Be sure to check out the fun challenge, lots of great inspiration on the One Crazy Stamper Blog every day, and lots of great High Hopes Rubber Stamps and other great products at One Crazy Stamper.

Blessings to you all,

Karen

Hey there Beautiful!!

 Hi there and Happy Friday!

I'm back again to share my little card using ...

High Hopes Fish Kiss found here!

&

Hey there Beautiful from High Hopes!

I'm lovin this new release. This sweet bear would be perfect for both a Summery  camping design and some Winter love too!! 

 The image is coloured with Copics, white Sharpie marker for the snowfall, heart gems, glossy accents and a touch of Wink of Stella clear.

The snowy ground cover is a paint that has snowy texture  (that a friend gave me) and the twine is double tied for a different look :)

Thanks for peeking!

You Make Me Smile

Happy Hump Day OCS Fans! 

For my post today I used "Fish Kiss" and the "You Make Me Smile" sentiment from the new Woodland Friends release at High Hopes Stamps.

My card layout is based on the sketch from the November OCS challenge. I love sketches - they can be used over and over again when you're in a pinch or even when you're not <smile>

I started by colouring my stamp with alcohol markers and then cutting it out with a classic circle die. I added some freckles to the bears face with a brown marker and a cheek and freckles to the fish with a white gel pen and alcohol marker just for fun.

Then I layed out my card base using cardstock and patterned paper from Echo Park and Lawn Fawn. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out in a matching circle shape. Some photo corners, ribbon and enamel dots finish off my card.
