Birthday Fred

 I can never seem to keep dog themed birthday cards made up fast enough for my friends and family who are dog lovers. "Fred" from High Hopes rubber stamps is one of my favourites to use for a dog themed birthday card but I also want to use him for a thinking of you or friendship card too - he is just too cute!!!

I stamped Fred on alcohol marker friendly paper, coloured him with Copic Sketch markers and cut him out with a stitched torn square die. I set him aside and found some matching patterned paper from Lawn Fawn and Cocoa Vanilla and created the card design. I added some sheer ribbon from my stash and some sparkly enamel dots to the corners. The sentiment was stamped and mounted on matching card stock and I used some matching patterned paper to cut out a paw print with a die and added it to a card stock banner.

Easter Blooms

  I am creating this blog post on Sunday during our second snowstorm this week. We have gotten so much snow there is no where left to put it. So, what's a gal to do? Go in to her craft room and think Spring and Easter. 

I love the "Bunny Blooms" stamp from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. It was fun to bring out some spring Copic colours to colour with and to get my first Easter card for this year done. 

After stamping on alcohol marker friendly paper, I coloured with Copic markers and hand fussy cut the stamp. I set it aside and found some patterned papers from my stash, Lemon Craft and Honey Bee that all worked together. I cut the paper to fit my design and added some matching gingham ribbon before gluing the pieced down. I added the stamped image to the circle and glued it down. A stamped sentiment on matching card stock and enamel dots finish off my card.
