Boo! High Hopes Stamps

Happy Friday!!!
I've been getting crafty with a few Halloween stamps. My creation today was made with ....
I love this Boo Crew as the image has all the elements to create some Halloween Fun!
The sewing stitches are a mix of zigzag and straight stitches to give a  creepy look to the card. Purple glitter paper, for the background plus  sequences and seed beads were added to a banner style shaker pocket for a bit of shimmer!

A selection of twine and fibers were added to the card along with Copic Marker numbers...

Let's Do Lunch?

It's Wednesday and my turn to share some Fall/Halloween inspiration with you. 

A sure sign of fall being just around the corner is that sweet corn is in season so I chose to make my card using "We're All Ears and Cawnie and Cawrls Lunch" stamps from High Hopes.

After colouring the stamp with alcohol markers I fussy cut them out. I used a Cricut cartridge to cut out my cornstalks and ink blending to create my sky background. I wanted the stamp used in the circle to look like you are in the middle of a corn field....great place for lunch don't you think? lol
The sentiment was created on my computer and buttons from my stash and some twine finish off my card.

Happy Fall -- High Hopes Stamps


Happy Friday! We made it through another week! Well... for me that was easy as I'm on vacation right now!
Fall is just around the corner and with that in mind I decided to create a Thanksgiving card.  I love  using traditional Fall colours as it's always such an easy colour combo to work with.

Creation was made using ...
 The card base is a side step  easel  and the background is created with a burlap paper for some texture. The image was  coloured with Copic Markers, glossy accents and some plaid ribbon for added Fall fun!

I decided to only use a  small portion of the sentiment/ Fall greeting which actually reads "have a blessed season filled with apple cider, hay rides, pumpkin .... and so on! I can see changing it up and really getting a lot of use from this stamp :)


Thanks for peeking! Wishing you a great Weekend. Hope you get crafty and create some Fall and Halloween designs! I would love to see your creations in our Current challenge found here!

Thanksgiving Recipe

Happy August OCS fans! This month the design team will be featuring Fall/Halloween Stamps from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. 

Fall is my favourite time of my year. I love the cooler temperatures and the gorgeous colours of the leaves changing colours.

Fall is also when we celebrate Thanksgiving and today my card, featuring "Chef Pierre", is all about Thanksgiving. I went with some non-traditional fall colours on this one!

After colouring the stamp with alcohol markers I fussy cut him out. The "sentiment" was created on my computer. I added some silver and white ribbon, silver magic mesh and some gumdrops to finish it off. Silver Wink of Stella gave his buttons and the turkey platter a little bit of sparkle. 
I used some very non-traditional fall colours on this one but I wanted to stay with my red and grey colour scheme.
