Precious Little One.....

Welcome Everyone;

September is here and One Crazy Stamper has a new theme called Anything Goes.  It is always good to have some baby cards on hand for that special occasion.

For today's card, I have used the addorable Swaddled Baby Girl from High Hopes Stamps.  I coloured her with Copic Markers and paper pieced the blanket.  I used a Lacey Circle Die to cut the image out as well as a piece of matching cardstock that I threaded some ribbon through.  Some bluish gray jewels finished off the card.

Let's Ketch-Up

 How fun would this lunch invite be to receive in the mail!?! 
Especially when it is sent to someone you haven't seen for awhile! I have a few people in mind that I could send this to just for fun!

Truthfully I am not partial to ants but they always seem to show up at a picnic and help themselves don't they? These two are pretty cute though so I think I am okay with them joining my picnic ... this time....

 I coloured this fun pair with alcohol markers and fussy cut them. I added a "ketchup" line to the bottle by drawing a light pencil line where I wanted the ketchup level to be, coloured it and then used a black Memento pen to add the line. 
I decided on my patterned paper and instead of doing a sky and clouds I thought hearts would be a fun background especially since this invite would be going to a close friend I haven't seen in awhile. I cut some grass to "ground" them and added them to the back of the stamp. After deciding on a font, I created my sentiment and printed it directly on my background square. 

Some twine and gumdrops finish off my card

Harvest Mice!

Hi OCS Fans!

Wow I can't believe Fall is right around the corner and the kids have gone back to school this week! Where did the summer go? It's my turn today to share a card with you over on the High Hopes and One Crazy Stamper Blogs. The Design Team is doing a "Anything Goes" theme and I decided to use the High Hopes "Harvest Mice" stamp!

"Harvest Mice" is one of my favourite Fall stamps! I just love these cuties and the pumpkin they are leaning on! I chose papers form the Echo Park "Fall Is In the Air" 6x6 collection. I love the warm colours of this line! I added some ribbon, bow and a die cut banner as the accents on my card this time.

I also decorated the inside of my card and used the High Hopes sentiment called "If Friends Were Pumpkins".

Copics Used:

Mice: C1, C2, C3, C5/ E51, E53, E55

Pumpkin: YR12, YR14, YR16, YR18/ YG95, YG97

# School Is Cool

Next week the kids will be going back to school. As you can imagine both the parents and the kids have mixed feelings about this. 
My neighbour's 4 year old will be starting junior kindergarten. She is excited and nervous all at the same time - understandable right?!  

My card today features Mary J Teacher Angel from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. The card colours are not traditional school colours but I wanted to try something different.......and I didn't have school themed paper in my paper stash - gasp! so I had to step outside the box and challenge myself to find a way to use what I did have. 

I coloured sweet Mary J with alcohol markers and fussy cut her. I chose my lined background paper - appropriate for school right?! and used the school background stamp to create my patterned paper. A letter edge die helped on the edge of one piece to keep my school theme. All the edges are inked with matching ink. Next I designed and printed my sentiment on my computer and cut it out with a fishtail banner die. It is hard to see in the photo but I added some clear sparkle pen to her wings. Some simple twine and matching gumdrops finish off my card.

Little Pumpkin

The sky is blue today which is quite the change for us in British Columbia, as most days the sky is grey or orange from all of the forest fire smoke that surrounds us.  So to celebrate I have created this cute card featuring one of my favorite fall stamps from High Hopes Rubber Stamps.

The image is entitled "Pumpkin Patch" (S152), and I have stamped it on Copic Xpress It cardstock with Memento ink, and then colored it with Copics.  The card front is paper from my stash and the sentiment is from a CC Designs sentiment set.

I hope you are enjoying the last week of summer wherever you are, and please check out the design team posts as the ladies are showcasing some beautiful projects.

Happy Halloween!

Hello My Friends!

It's Tuesday so that means it's my turn to post over on the High Hopes and One Crazy Stamper Blogs! The theme this month is Fall/ Halloween, so I've chosen the oh so adorable "Witchy Poo with Kitty Frame" to make my card with.

I started by first making my background for my card base. I just got the YNS "Funky Line Panel Die" and thought it would be perfect for "Witchy Poo". I pulled out my stash of older Doodlebug Halloween paper and added strips for a fun background. Then I coloured my image to match my paper choices. A few spider webs complete with cute green spiders and a bow were my embellishments this time. I added Yellow Stickles to the moon and stars. The sentiment is also from HH and is called "Simple Halloween".

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E11, E21, R20

Hair: YR07, YR09

Blacks: N5, N7, N9

Outfit: YG21, YG23, YG25/ V01, V04, V05, V06, V09

Frame: E43, E47

Background: Y00, Y02

Happy Stamping!
