You Are Loved!

Hello OCS Fans!

Valentine's Day is a two days away so I thought it was the perfect time to get this cutie out of hiding LOL! Meet "Ladybug Love" from High Hopes Stamps! She is just so stinking cute!

I created my own background using distress Oxide Inks in Candied Apple, Picked Raspberry and Worn Lipstick on some Tim Holtz Distress Woodgrain paper. I added some ink splatters using Ebony Black Nuvo Drops, water and a paintbrush. I also used the Ebony Black Drops on her antenna. The "You Are Loved" sentiment on the front is also from High Hopes. A few die cut heart circles and enamel dots help to finish off my card.

On the inside I used the HH "Hugs & Hugs" Sentiment

Copics Used:

C5, C6, C8

R01, R02, R20, R22, R24

One Crazy Stampers Layout page using High Hopes Stamps

Welcome OCS Fans;

Hi it's Bev here today and I am super excited as this is my first DT project for One Crazy Stampers using High Hopes Stamps. I also am thrilled to tell you that I will not be doing cards but scrapbook layout pages and some of the accents will be co-ordinating stamps for the themes of the projects. It should be great fun. First up is a page of my hubby "Kenny" fishing and what better stamps as the fisherman, the sign post and the words "gone fishing".

To start my project I stamped the images .... Gone Fishing wording was fit into the sign and then the fisherman.

It was then coloured using copic markers and the highlights are signo white gel pen.

I start with the paper background, accent papers, title and accents are picked out. I added a tilt border on the top and bottom and added wrapped twine at the seams.

The chipboard accents and title are copic coloured also.

 These super cute images are popped forward on top of the chipboard accents.

Supplies used:

• Stamps:  Dad's Catch Q111,  Sign Post T204
• Copic Markers: 0. C0, C01, C03, C5, C8, B000, B00, B02, B06, R24, R27, E00, E01, E55, E57, E59, W5, W7, G12, G21, G24

Pizza My Heart

February is the month of love and they say the way to a man's heart is food....so "Luigi" has you covered! How fun is this heart shaped pizza!? Perfect for Valentine's Day or an Anniversary card especially if the recipient loves pizza! 

This week I challenged myself to make a Valentine themed card in non traditional colours. After colouring the adorable Luigi with alcohol markers I  fussy cut him leaving a thin white edge. Fussy cutting him was not my plan but things happen and the plan changes <wink>
I added him to a stitched tag background with some foam pop dots just for fun. The sentiment was stamped and cut to fit and all of this cuteness was added to some patterned paper from MFT and my stash. A few die cut hearts finish off my A2 size card.  

Card Recipe 

Stamp: Luigi - High Hopes Rubber Stamps

Sentiment: Pizza My Heart - High Hopes Rubber Stamps

Patterned Paper: Gingham Galore - MFT, stash

Hogs & Kisses!

Hello OCS Fans!!

Valentine's Day is around the corner so I thought it was the perfect time to create a card using the High Hopes "Betsy Loves Barney" Stamp! Pigs are some of the cutest images but 2 pigs in love..... just doesn't get sweeter than that!

I decided to mask off each pig and stamp them separately to create my little windows and then stamp the whole image. I imagine them flirting with each other and then coming together for that first kiss. My papers today are from the American Crafts "Loves Me Not" 6x6 collection. I made little circle frames from my Ai Double Stitched circle dies. It's hard to see but the "Xo" paper is popped up with foam tape so that the images are sunken down inside the frame. I took the HH "Hogs and Kisses" sentiment and cut it apart so that it could fit inside my Stitched Heart die cut. A double loop bow, heart gem and some Doodlebug Tiny Heart Sprinkles finish everything off!

My decorated inside along with the HH "Always and Forever" sentiment.

Copics Used:

R00, R01, R02, R20, R21, R22, R24

N5, N6, N7, W3, W5, YG23

Make sure to head on over to the High Hopes and One Crazy Stamper Blogs as the Design Team will be using stamps for the theme "A Month of Love" to inspire you!

Winter Holiday Selfie

Our winking snowman friend has gone on a winter holiday. Of course he went somewhere cold so he doesn't melt! 
He stopped to take some selfies along the way and is sharing his favourite one with you........along with a few that didn't work out so great. 

I used the Winking Snowman and the Mini Snowman set to create my card and with some masking magic (okay a post it note) I used two different sentiments to create one new one. 

After colouring my stamps and hand fussy cutting them I ran a black maker around the edge to get any white I may have missed. 
Next, I cut my cardstock, patterned paper to size. Since I had my Big Kick warmed up I cut my polaroid frame and filmstrip at the same time. I built my scene using a stitched border die and pine trees. 
Then came the fun! I coloured two of the matching mini winking snowmen and cut them in half to make my "selfies gone wrong" in the filmstrip. Some icicles, twine and a few snowflakes finish off my card.

Stamp: Winking Snowman, Mini Snowman Set - High Hopes Rubber Stamps

Winter Owl!

Hello OCS Fans!

We finally have some winter weather and snow here in Ontario Canada. I'm feeling like this little "Winter Owl" from High Hopes Stamps is perfect for the Winter vibe here! 

I've had this paper from LDRS Called "Arctic Winter" that I've been dying to use and it was perfect for this adorable "Winter Owl" image. Winter Owl actually has some Christmas ornaments in the stamp. I masked them off before stamping my image for more of a winter theme rather than Christmas. I added Crystal Stickles to the pink areas on her hat and scarf and Liquid Appliqué to the snow on the branches. A bit pink bow finishes everything off.

I popped the inner octagon and image up with foam tape for a dimensional look.

More papers for a decorated inside and the High Hopes "Winter Wonderland" sentiment.

Copics Used:

W00, W0, W1, W2, W3

BV23, BV25, R81, R83

E74, E77, YG63, YG67

Happy Stamping!
