Zoe's Purrfect Day

I have a few cat lovers in my life who sometimes need a pick me up card sent just so they know I am thinking of them.

Miss Zoe and her cute kitten are perfect for this type of card! 

After colouring my stamp with alcohol markers, I hand fussy cut it leaving a thin white border. I added it to the matching card stock and cut around the stamp again. I decided to use some patterned paper that had kind of a country feel to it, I thought it was perfect for this card. The sentiment was stamped directly on to the patterned paper - love my Misti! and some matching gumdrops finish off my card.

Miss Liberty and Belle

Howdy - MichelleO here today - This week for High Hopes Stamps I was looking through my boxes of High Hopes Stamps.. yes. I love my High Hopes Stamps and have more than a few.... LOL. I found one stamp that I realized I had never inked before. Insert Shocked Face here! How did I ever not ink this pretty little girl? And now is the perfect time to get those 4th of July cards made.

This is Miss Liberty and Belle -

Isn't she just the most little patriotic gal you have ever seen? I colored with my Copics (colors below). I used a scrap of the red dot I used last week, with a Blue Core'dinations cardstock. I punched out a loop punch from Martha Stewart for a border.

The sentiment is also a High Hopes Stamp - "God Bless America" Love this sentiment! Then I added a few sparkle enamel dots for a bit of bling.

Copic colors used -

I hope you enjoyed my little patriotic card -

Bee's Knees!

Happy Tuesday HH Fans!

Tuesdays mean I am over on the High Hopes And One Crazy Stamper Blogs sharing this cute bear with you! This cutie is called "Buzzin' By Bear"!

I found a SVG file in the Silhouette Design Shop in the shape of a bee hive and made it into a card base for my Bear. I used some paper from the Echo Park Fine & Dandy 6x6 collection that matches perfectly! I fussy cut out some of the little bees and popped thump with foam tape!

The "Bees Knees" sentiment from High Hope Stamps matches my theme perfectly!

I popped "Buzzin' By Bear" up on an action wobble for a fun interactive element!

Here you can see the wobble in action !

I made the oval with a MFT die and the LOVE letters are also from MFT. 

The little flowers are made with a Marianne Design die.

It seems like Spring has finally arrived! One of my favourite things about Spring is when the birds come back into the neighbourhood.
I have a tree in one of my flower beds that often becomes the home for a nest and some baby birds. It is fun to watch the Mom feed to the babies and to watch the babies as they learn to fly. 

The Fancy Birdhouse 1 stamp reminded me of this fun part of Spring and I added the Landing Birdie as she seems to be coming home.

I coloured the stamps with alcohol markers and hand fussy cut them. Next I cut my doily and circle and added some clouds using a cloud die, dauber and ink. Then it was on to my computer to create my sentiment, print it and cut it out using the matching circle and doily dies. Some ribbon and gumdrops finish off my card.

Stamp: Fancy Birdhouse 1, Landing Birdie -  High Hopes Rubber Stamps

Tropical Santa!

Hello HH Fans!

Everybody deserves a little R&R especially Santa after a busy Christmas season! "Tropical Santa" from High Hopes is doing just that! I think he's even got a bit of a tan!

I decided to use paper from the American Crafts "Sunny" 6x6 collection. I got my Sketch idea from "Lili of the Valley Sketches". There are lots of wonderful 6x6 sketches over there to choose from. I added the HH "Just Arrived" sentiment to show that "Tropical Santa" just arrived for his much needed vacation. 

On the inside I created the sentiment on my computer. I am using a Ring Frame die on the inside with more of the Designer Papers. I used some of the circle cutout on the front of my card. I always try to use up my "scraps" when I can!

Copics Used:

Skin: E11, E33, E51, R20

Hair: N1, N3, N4, N7

Pinks: RV04, RV06

Last weeks Mothers day

Happy Sunday!!

Today I'd like to show you the card I gave my mother last week for Mothers Day. 

This image is easily to use for so many occasions! Not only for Mothers Day, but if you add your own sentiment to it, it can be a birthday card, a graduation card, a card for a new home... you name it!! 

The image is called Terri's Flower Cart.

I wanted to give this card a rustic look by adding some ribbons, twine and a bunch of paper flowers. The little wooden heart is my finishing touch.
The sentiment is a Dutch one and it says: Happy Mothers day!

Spring is in the Air wreath

 Hi there and happy Saturday.  I'm back to share a little card made with ....

Spring bunny sampler found here!

I created a  twig style wreath and set the Spring image inside.  Used a burlap style ribbon 

with a fun carrot print and some tiny yellow flowers too. The image is coloured with Copic Markers and the background paper has a rustic wood look which I though went well with the image. 

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great weekend.

Dress For Success

Did anyone else ever like to play dress up as a child? I got the chance to do that when I went over to my friend's places for sleep overs. It was way too much fun to pull out the fancy dresses and high heeled shoes from the special toy box they were kept in.

Danni Dress Up from High Hopes Rubber Stamps sure brought back some fun childhood memories! 

After colouring this cutie with alcohol markers, I added some Stickles to her boa and pearls for a little sparkle. I set it aside to dry and cut and assembled my patterned paper layers. Some matching glittery ribbon and Nuvo gumdrops finish off my card.

Hello High Hopes friends. I'm back to share a little Spring design using ...
Spring is in the Air found here!

I thought this was  such a sweet image.  I love the font along with all the little Spring elements. 

On this card I used some Spring colours including coral, lime green and a soft yellow.  Some Blue acrylic paint is added to the flowers and outer edge of the card.

The banner flags are hand cut. the bow has a chevron design, the flowers were die punched and an added button for the center.

Leapin' Larry - Hoppy Birthday

Howdy - MichelleO here today and this week for High Hopes Stamps I pulled out an older favorite for a great fun Birthday card - This is Leapin' Larry... isn't he an energetic little guy?

Wish I had that jump in me! I colored with my Copics (colors below) Then I cut Larry out with a Whimsy Stitched Oval Die. Then for the sentiment the perfect for Larry "Open Hoppy Birthday" that I colored with the same copics. Green card stock for the base and then two pieces of pattern paper from Making Memories.

For a little added fun I cut out Larry's arm from the paper and popped it up above the sentiment, like he is sort of waving. Hi Larry!

Copic colors used -

Have you ever surfed through the High Hopes Stamps store? Oh my there are SO Many stamps to choose from. I bet you find one or a hundred you can't live without. I was trying to think back to my first High Hopes Stamps order... way over a decade ago.... fell in love and haven't stopped coloring since!

I've used the cute Singing Katrina and the Birthday Wishes sentiment.

Dessinpapers are from my stash (really, really old ones, I can't even tell wich company).
