Peeking Springtime Buddies

Hello High Hopes Fans

You can find our March Challenge HERE

The challenge runs through Tuesday, March 31st. 

Cheri

Well Easter is this weekend! Wow that sure came fast, but on the other hand it means Spring is here!!

Today I am sharing with you my last Easter card and cute little basket I made. Both of these projects use the stamp called Peeking Springtime Buddies.

I wanted to try something new to me and that is using a stencil and modeling paste on my card. I used a brick wall stencil and tried to make it look like the image is peeking over the top of a wall. For the basket I followed a tutorial I found on Pinterest. I used a doily for them to "peek" over and added some flower brads and Easter grass.

I added some lace, flowers and die cuts to finish off the card.

Click HERE to view the  basket tutorial.

Copics Used:

Ducks: Y13, Y15, Y17 / Y32, Y35, Y38

Bunny: C0, C1, C3, nose: C5, C7

Top & headband: R81, R83, R85

Flower: B01, B04, Y13 & Stickles

Leaves: YG03, YG06, YG07

bows: B01, B04 / YG03, YG06, YG07  & Stickles

I've had so much fun using the Easter stamps from High Hopes! They are super cute and not hard to fall in love with!

I want to wish everyone a wonderful Easter weekend!

See you next week,

Friday March 27th, 2015 - Fox on the Beach - MichelleVata

Isn't this the cutest stamp from High Hopes Rubber Stamps?  The Stamp is called Fox on the Beach.  As soon as I saw it, I knew it was all about my DAD!  My dad turns 76 today!  Everyone used to call him the sly fox when he was working (many many years ago before he retired) so I knew I had to make this into a birthday card for him!

The top green tule actually pulls (see image 2) out a hidden message for my dad from myself and my family!  Hopefully he will know enough to push it back down afterward so it stays with the card LOL!

Just in case he doesn't remember to push that tag down again into the card, I will write similar sentiments inside the card

The Copic Markers that I used to colour this image are;

Fox - Brown - E40, E41, E42, E43

Fox - Red - R59, E08, E35

Nose - Eyes - C9, C7, C5, C3

Glass - BG000, BG0000, B00

Umbrella - YG07, YG05, Y35, Y38, Y00

Blanket - BG02, BG07, BG09

The product that I used for this image are;

From One Crazy Stamper - 

Doodlebug - Friendly Forest - Foxtrot

Card Stock - On Hand

Brads - On Hand

Ribbon and Tule - On Hand

I hope you join me again next Friday for another High Hopes Card Design!  Thanks for popping in and have a great week!  Feel free to pop on over to my blog!

Buddy Bear Camping - It's Your Day!

Howdy -

This week I had some fun with Buddy Bear Camping - Great Guy image don't you think?

I used papers from Simple Stories - coloring with my copics with to match the colors of the papers.  Love the rich colors of these - I doodled the edge of the image and then used the sentiment "It's your day!" And for an embellishment I found a chipboard piece that I colored with a Copic.

Inside more of the same papers and another High Hopes Sentiment Large Fancy "Happy Birthday!"

Copic Colors Used -

There are so many wonderful images in this new release - You can see all the new release images HERE. Enjoy -

All Horses Deserve to be Loved - Dina

Hey Stampers!

.

I created this colorful card, not only because I love horses, but also in honor of all my horse loving friends.

I used white cardstock as my base of my 5×7 card, and affixed various pattern papers, from DCWV Stacker III, in shades of purple and blue.

The little flowered paper is also from DCWV from the Pocket Full of Posies stack. I roughed up the edges using some sand paper to give it a slight distressed look, to give it more dimension, and to reveal more of the white edges.

I stamped with the "Spring is in the Air" new release “My Pony”. and painted the image with watercolors and prismacolor markers. I fussy cut the stamped image and affixed it to a white scalloped punched piece of white cardstock and lightly painted a background.

I used a Fiskars Rope border punch and a piece of shear white ribbon which I placed behind “My Pony” image. 

I cut the cloud out with  Paper Smooches “Curly Clouds” Die because they are just so stinkin’ cute!

I then printed out and attched the sentiment- “All horses deserve, at least once in their life, to be loved by a little girl”

To finish my card, I embellished with some Prima Paper Flowers, which I dotted with my favorite YNS Gumdrops – Lavender, and punched out some paper flowers from the background papers, dotted them with YNS Gumdrops – Cotton Candy Blue, that I got from One Crazy Stamper, and affixed them randomly on my card.

Happy Stamping!

Today my card is created using the newly released stamp called Snuggles & Cuddles. This Panda and her little one is absolutely adorable! Did you know that a Panda can spend 14-16 hours a day eating bamboo? Just a fun fact for you!!

As soon as I saw this image I knew my paper choice had to be back and red! I used paper from American Crafts "Amy Tangerine Sketchbook" and Kaiserkraft's "Shaken Not Stirred" collections. A red bow, black button and some matching enamel dots finished off my card.
