Ooops Ellie

                           Happy Thursday High Hopes Fans! 

I can't believe it's the last day of March already! Last Thursday we had a major ice storm and this week (starting Sunday) they are calling for plus temperatures - some of them double digits! It has definitely been crazy weather. Some of my friends didn't fair so well with the ice storm so I thought a card featuring Oops Ellie might cheer them up a little. It could also be used for missed birthdays but today I chose to use to hopefully bring a smile. 

I started by colouring my stamp with alcohol markers and them using a Spellbinders circle and my Fiskars circle cutter to cut it out. The stamp is mounted on grey and pink cardstock and patterned paper from the Vintage Bliss paper pad from Simple Stories. A couple corner dies and some grey gumdrops finish off my simple layout for this card.

He Lives!

Howdy -

With Easter this coming weekend I pulled out one of my favorite Easter images... High Hopes Stamps "He Lives!"

This is such a beautiful image don't you think? I colored with my Copics (colors below) I cut it out with a Oval Nestie and then matted it with Hearfelt Creations Mat. I inked the edges of both. Then Layered pattern paper from Graphic 45s with a zig zag stitch. A few Viva Decor Pearl Pen dots to looks like little pearls around the mat.

Punched Martha Stewart Frond leaves and Branches, then mulberry roses. The colors on the mulberry roses were not right to match my card so I changed the colors with my Copic markers. now they have a perfect match!

Copic colors used -

Bunny Love -- High Hopes Stamps

 Hi there! Back again to share an Easter card using High Hopes Stamps

Friendship Seed Packet found here

Easter is early this year being in March so I really need to get moving on some Spring designs!

 I always look for stamps that I will get lots of use with and this fun seed packet has  a variety of ways that it can be used. 

For this design I cut  the center out of the packet to create a window. Used pop dots and a piece of Xpress It paper from Copic to create a grassy scene. the clouds are hand cut with some C1 Copic details. 

Added some super sweet bunnies, flowers and butterflies to create a Spring garden scene. 

(This stamp would make a super fun shaker card too)

Here are the Copics used on this creation!

Thanks for peeking!

Easter Cuties!

Happy Tuesday!

Easter is fast approaching and here is another one of my Easter cards to share with you! My card today is using the adorable High Hopes Stamp called "3 Pane Easter". These 3 little gems just make me smile whenever I look at them!

I love the fun bright Easter colours in the Echo Park Spring collection and had to use it one again! I coloured up my images with Copic Markers and used the MFT Fish Flag staxs to make my cute layout. I decided to also add Distress Ink in Vintage photo to add my edges. I like the added dimension it brings as well as making the colours pop. A bit of Doodlebug Twine and sequins and my card was finished!

I used the HH "Easter Greetings" sentiment on the inside.

Copics Used:

Bunny: E53, E55, E57, R11, R20

Chick: Y11, Y13, Y15, YR02, YR04, R20

Lamb: C1, R11

Outline: B000

Kick Back

                               Happy Thursday High Hopes Fans! 

I don't know about anyone else but I do love a nap in the sun from time to time. I would like to introduce you to Snoozin' Sam from High Hopes Stamps. I think this card would be perfect for a birthday, retirement or Father's Day card. 

I started by colouring my stamp with alcohol markers and fussy cut him leaving a thin white line. His shirt is paper pieced and the glass in his glasses has Glossy Accents on them. The background was made by stamping around a cloud die with Ocean ink, cutting a picket fence die and a spring grass die. A polaroid die in the background breaks up the striped paper and some gumdrops in the corner finish it off.
