Snowy Joy

 I am continuing to work on my Christmas cards and this time I am using "Christmas Joy Snowy" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. I have a ton of people on my card giving list that love snowmen so this stamp and card are perfect for one of them. 



                                               

After stamping on alcohol marker friendly paper, I coloured with Copic markers and uses a notched rectangle die to cut out the stamp. Patterned paper from Echo Park was perfect for this 5" x 5" card. I added some sparkly ribbon and white glitter dots for a bit of sparkle.

Having a MOO-RRY Christmas!

 Happy Tuesday HH fans!

I'm back this week with our adorable image called Charlie's Christmas which I have paired with our sentiment called MOO-RRY Christmas.

I have a few friends that are just obsessed with cows...not sure which friend is getting this one yet.

Purple is my favourite colour so I thought it would be fun to colour this cutie up with the purples.


I'm sorry I didn't keep track of the Prisma pencils I used to colour with.  I was on vacation in the Yukon when I coloured this one.


Thanks for poppin' by today & happy stampin'!

Winter Moose Trio

  Now that most of the birthday cards I need are done I can focus on the next big thing...Christmas cards!!!! I also need to make a ton of them so with some cooler weather where I live this weekend, I was inspired to officially start the Christmas season..... in my craft room as least! I am starting off the season with a trio of cards featuring Winter Moose from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. 

How cute is he!!?? 




                                                                                   

I stamped the moose three times on alcohol marker friendly paper, coloured them with Copic markers and hand fussy cut two and cut one with a rectangle die. Next I got out some of my Echo Park paper pads and my stash and cut each piece to fit my card bases. 2 are A2 size and the square card is 5" x 5". I laid out each design and glued everything down. I added clear sparkle pen to the snowflakes and on the blue and card with the circle on it, popped the stamp up with 3D foam dots. Ribbon, enamel and sparkly dots and Star Dust Stickles on the hats and scarves finish off my cards.

Celebrate the Magic of Christmas!

 Happy Tuesday HH fans!

Christmas will be here before you know it....sorry just had to put that out there.  I'm continuing on my little journey to get as many cards done for the season as I can.  I don't want to get to December & kick myself for not working on them sooner lol.

This week I have one of my favourites to share, this is Hope for Peace Snowy.  I coloured this cutie up with my Prisma pencils, again while I was away in the Yukon in June.  I paired this with our sentiment called Magic of Christmas because Christmas is magical to me.

Instead of leaving the bird white (for a dove) I went with a red Cardinal.  Cardinals remind me of my Mom who past a few years ago.

Even though I didn't have the best cardstock for colouring with pencils with me I think this turned pretty decent.

Hope you enjoyed today's card & thanks for popping by!

Happy stampin'!

Bear Birthday

 July is a big Birthday month for me. Most of my immediate family has a Birthday in July and most of them are men and young me that I need cards for. My Dad's Birthday is one of them and he used to always tell us when we were kids he is going to move us up into the bush so we can live off the land.......so I thought the Bear and Mountains stamps from High Hopes were perfect for his Birthday card.

                                                                                      


I stamped the bear and mountains on alcohol marker friendly paper, coloured them with Copic markers and hand fussy cut them. I set them aside and found some patterned paper from Honey Bee Stamps for the sky and cut it to fit my 5.5" x 5.5" card base. 
Next, I got some green cardstock and cut out some grass and trees to create my scene. I glued them all down and added a piece of light blue card stock for the water. I added the bear and mountain stamps, twine, and the sentiment and finished it off with enamel dots.

Card Recipe

Stamp - Bear (TDG002), Mountains (TDG007) - High Hopes Rubber Stamps
Sentiment - Pirates Birthday (F147)- High Hopes Rubber Stamps
Patterned Paper - Modern Spring - Honey Bee Stamps, Outdoor Adventure Basics - Paper Rose

Hammermill digital cover stock, Memento Tuxedo Black ink, twine, tree die - Memory Box, grass die - Dress My Craft, enamel dots

Copic List

Bear - E23 E25 E27 T2 T3 T7
Mountains - C1 C2 C4 C7

Merry Christpaws from our Winter Kitty!

 Happy Wednesday HH fans!

I hope you are all having a great week so far!  I was under the weather yesterday and didn't feel up to getting on the computer to do anything.  

For this week's card I'm sharing another image I coloured with my Prisma pencils while I was away in the Yukon in June.  When I posted this morning I actually called this image Winter Kitty BUT it is actually our Winter Pup.  I have paired it with Merry Christpaws.

I cut the sentiment in half so I could place it on the top & bottom of the stocking.  This card is pretty clean & simple.

I picked up the stocking die which is from Sizzix at a craft sale a couple of month's ago.  My friend and I had a blast looking through all the amazing stuff people had.

Sorry I didn't track the pencils I used....I was on holiday lol.  

I ran the blue cardstock through with an older dot embossing folder I had & added a few sparkly enamel dots.  Oh and some Stickles to the hat & pom pom.


Thanks for poppin' by today & happy stampin'!
