Gabriel Loves Baseball

Hello High Hopes Fans

Here is a card I made, using stamps from the New Release - All About Boys!

Lisa

 

This is Gabriel Loves Baseball (S524), along with the sentiment from Sentiment Set #3 (U506). Gabriel is sooo cute!!

 

I coloured Gabriel with Copic Markers (C1,C2, C3, C5, 0, E01, E31, E47, E49, E71, B97, and B99).  The image and sentiment was stamped with a Versamark Ink Pad and Black Embossing Powder.  To add some shine, I used Glossy Accents on the baseball bat and ball!  The die used to cut and layer the image is from QuicKutz called Nesting Label (Cookie Cutter).  The sentiment was cut using Spellbinders Dies - Petite Ovals Small and Petite Ovals Large.  A couple of small white star brads were added to both sides of the image, to complete this card.  The background paper is from Carta Bella - Boy Oh Boy & Rough and Tumble 6x6 Paper Pads, along with some Navy and White Cardstock.  

Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Gabriel Loves Tubing

Hello High Hopes Fans

I am excited to share another one of my cards, using one of the stamps and sentiment from the new release--All About Boys!

Jane 

This is Gabriel Loves Tubing (T515), and sentiment from Sentiment Set #4 (U507).  This stamp brings back such great memories!!!  As soon as I laid eyes on this stamp--Gabriel Loves Tubing, it took me back about 10 years ago.  Sunday afternoons in the summertime, at a nearby lake, boating and tubing with our family. 

In this photo, from left to right, my son - Mike (age 5), brother - Dave, and daughter - Lisa (age 4).  They are having a blast tubing on the lake!  My how time flies... now, Lisa is set to graduate from Grade 8 next week.

Getting back to my card details...this was a great image to colour!  I coloured Gabriel with Tombow Markers and water. Some Glossy Accents were used on the splashes from the waves.  Softly, I sponged some SU Tangerine Tango ink around the image.  The sentiment was embossed with black embossing powder, and punched out with an oval punch.  The sentiment was placed on the card with foam tape.  To complete this design, a few lime green sequins were added to the top corner of the coloured image.

Supplies Used:

Ink - Tombow Markers - N60, 491, 942, 850, 800, 925, 933, 533, 535, 055, 992, 977, N95, N60, 126, 133, N35, N55, and N75. Versamark Ink Pad, Black Embossing Powder, SU Tangerine Tango Ink Pad for Sponging Edges.

Paper - Doodlebug - Kraft In Colour 6x6 Paper Pad, and SU Tangerine Tango Cardstock.

Misc - Oval Punch, Doodlebug Sequins, Glossy Accents, Water Brush, Foam Tape, Glue Dots.

The New Release is NOW Available.

This is Gabriel Loves Soccer S525

The papers are a mix from my stash. I added a banner die cut from glitter card stock and Starlight Lace DooHickey Die on the top.

Both of my kids play soccer. This is a cute image that resembles my son a little, but my daughter is the goalie in the family. I made this card for my husband for father's day. I used the kids' team colors of Gold, White, and Black.

The image was embossed in black onto watercolor paper and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os

H2O's used:

Natural Linen, Dreamsicle, Olive Vine, Wintermist Gray, Nutmeg, and Bashful Blue

You can see the shimmer of the Twinkling H2Os and the light shining off the embossing on this picture...

Happy stamping!

Bob's A Water Ski Dude

             It's Thursday and my day to post some inspiration AND it's one day closer          to Fri-YAY!!! 

I love when you can look at a stamp and it brings back happy memories - either from your childhood or your present. 

My post today is sharing Bob's A Water Ski Dude and a sentiment from Sentiment Set #3 both from the new All About Boys release at High Hopes Stamps. 

This stamp took me back to my childhood. I remember my younger brother trying to water ski. He was having a very hard time getting up...........I'm thinking it was because our cousin who was driving the boat was doing everything he could to not let that happen. He would take off fast instead of slowly so my brother could get up. We had alot of laughs that day and he eventually did get up! 

Without further ado, my card featuring Bob's A Water Ski Dude.

                                                       Donna

After colouring Bob with alcohol markers (list below), I mounted him on cardstock and a variety of patterned papers from Carta Bella, Echo Park  and Basic Grey (more details on my blog). I added some ribbon from American Craft and some brads from my stash. What is new for me on this one is that I actually put the sentiment and the striped paper off the edge of the card - gasp! 

This is new for me - I usually keep everything contained within my card base - I love to try new things sometimes.......

Spectrum Noir Markers Used

Skin: FS4 TN2 TN3 FS8

Hair: TN7 TN8 EB8

Ski & Handle: TN3 TN6 TN8

Rope: EB1 EB2

Glasses: BT1 BT2 BT3

Water: TB1 TB2 TB9

Gabriel Loves Soccer!

Howdy High Hopes Fans!

I am just loving this New Release All About Boys! I love them all! Today I am using the stamp called Gabriel Loves Soccer! This is a perfect image as soccer has become such a popular sport, especially among the young boys and girls! I am sure you know someone that would appreciate a card made with Gabriel! 

I decided to use paper from the Doodlebug Back To School collection! I just love the vibrant primary colours! I layered all my design paper with matching cardstock as well as my image and sentiment. I used a sentiment from the new Sentiment #3 Set. I've had the MFT stackable star die forever and finally put it to good use! A little bit of twine with a knot and voila my card is done!

I left the inside blank until I need to use it for an occasion then I will stamp a sentiment.

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E11, R20

Hair: Y21, YR23, E15

Top: B24, B26, B28, R29

Super Star Save?

         Happy Thursday High Hopes Fans!!

I played soccer growing up. I was often the only girl on an all boys team because they didn't have all girl teams like they do now.....ooopps! showing my age here! I loved playing soccer even if there was some full body contact once and awhile and I went home with a few bruises now and again. 

Today I am sharing Gabriel Loves Soccer for the All About Boys new release. 

                                    Donna

                                                     

I wanted Gabriel to look like he was diving for the ball in front of the net to make a superstar save. I created the net by cutting some gold trim Christmas ribbon I had in my stash I had found in a dollar store. I "pounced"  it with  white ink to tone down the gold mixed in with the white in the ribbon. The goal posts are grey card stock. 

I fussy cut Gabriel (seems to be my thing lately!) and popped him and the ball using 3D foam squares after colouring him with alcohol markers. My card is finished off with a soccer ball button from Dress It Up. 

Spectrum Noir Markers used: 

Shirt: DR2 DR1 DR6

Shorts: TB3 TB5 TB1 TB2

Skin: FS2 FS3 TN2 FS8

Hair: CT2 CT4 GB11

Shoes: TN7 TN8 EB8

Ball: 1G1 1G2 BG10 IG6

We also have a new challenge for June - Anything High Hopes Goes. Come play along - we look forward to seeing your creations!
