Bunny Hugs

Happy Wednesday OCS fans! 

Have you had a chance to pop by the OCS website to see the full "Think Spring" release from High Hopes yet? There are so many cute, fun Spring and Easter images I honestly can't pick a favourite - can you?

This week I created with "Bunny Hugs" and the "Some Bunny Loves You" sentiment. We all need a hug once and awhile - why not from a soft, squishy bunny?

I coloured my stamp with alcohol markers then fussy cut it. As my card design came together I realized I need some kind of backing on her to make her pop a little so I cut her out again leaving a thin white cardstock edge. Since I had the white cardstock out, I cut a doily and ran it through a polka dot embossing folder to add some texture. A couple pieces of die foliage and some "stamens" from my stash were added to flowers to create my embellishments. A few matching crystals in the flower centres and some polka dots on her skirt finish off my card.

Stamps: Bunny Hugs (TT115) - High Hopes Rubber Stamps

Happy Thoughts!!!!

Welcome back OCS fans;

As we are having April showers, it definitely looks like spring has arrived.  High Hopes Stamps has a new release called "Think Spring".

Today, I have used the adorable image called "Bunny Blooms".  The butterflies are a stencil called "Butterfly Trail" from Crafters Workshop and I used some new Distress Oxide Inks to add some colour. As these inks are awesome and there is a lot of things that can be done with them. They are reactive with water, but I haven't tried that yet -- that is next.  I cut around the butterflies.

Supplies used:

• Stamps:  Bunny Blooms, Happy Thoughts (Think Spring Release - High Hopes Stamps)
• Paper:  Watercolour Paper, DP - Watercolor Wishes (Lawn Fawn)
• Ink:  Staz-On Jet Black; Dixtress Oxide Inks - Cracked Pistachio, Wilted Violet, Spiced Marmalade
• Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Markers:  903 - Natural Gray, 900 - Warm Gray #2, 065 - Mid Brown, 036 - Light Blue, 803 - English Lavender, 220 - Tea Rose, 047 - May Green, 028 - Pale Pink
• Stencil:  Butterfly Trail (Crafters Workshop)
• Miscellaneous:  Emerald Green (Flower Soft) and Rhinestones for the flower centers

Doesn't have quite the same ring as "Christmas in July"... but you can buy Christmas Card kits in April!  These are the last two card kits that will be available next weekend at Scrapfest in Kitchener.  Here is Kovu & Hootie (TT067) and Cold Outside (G311) both from High Hopes Rubber Stamps:

 And the last kit is featuring Friends Snooze (TT063) with Bold Warm Winter Wishes (H098):

 *This one colours up in no time!  Buying a kit is a great way to get a leg up on your Christmas card stash. Card Kits come with the two stamps shown here, plus all of the cut pieces, card bases and envelopes to make four identical cards.  A full colour instruction sheet is included with the card, along with Copic marker suggestions and all of the cutting measurements for you to make more cards.  Kits are $22 - there are a limited number available, and *if* there are any leftover after Scrapfest, you'll see them in the OCS store.
