Time to play!

 Happy Monday HH fans!

I'm here today to share our adorable image called Lg. Puffy Kitty with you all.  I don't know about your family but in my family cats rule, at least with my Dad & Brothers.  I have both dogs & a cat so I can't pick one over the other, I love them all.

I love the look on this kitty's face as he/she is trying to grab onto that thread...it just cracks me up.

I picked a sentiment that I like to use on my Fall harvest cards because I thought it also worked perfectly for this image.  This sentiment is called Fancy Basket Saying.

Happy Birthday from the Party Animals!!

 Happy Saturday HH fans!

I'm poppin' in today with a fun birthday card using North Woods Stack.  I kept this card pretty clean & simple mainly to focus on those adorable animals.  It might be fun to colour these cuties up in funny colours too....will have to try that next time just for giggles.

My son lives in the Yukon so I can see this card going out to him for his birthday in January '25...now that's getting ahead lol.

The Best Things

 Happy Wednesday HH fans!

I was going through my stash of cards when I quickly realized that I was really short on Thinking of You cards.  So I created a very clean & simple card using The Best Things.

I used an embossing folder last week for the 1st time in I don't know how long so I grabbed another leafy one for this card.  I embossed on white cardstock & inked it up using Memento Pear Tart.  I just wanted some colour to show off the beautiful embossing folder & of course it had to match a colour I used on the image, lol.

This image comes from our Doodle Collection.  I posted the links below for quick reference.  All of these images have the sentiment right in the centre of the stamp....perfect for that quick card.  I do have more of the collection coloured up & will post a couple more cards soon so stay tuned.

You're Un-frogettable!

 Oh happy day HH fans!

Today I'm sharing I card I made to let a friend know that she is always in my mind.  I'm totally NOT a fan of live frogs, they are slithery and slimy.  BUT I love the ones I colour for cards, I think they are just so cute.  

This is Handstand Frog & I love how excited he looks just hanging out on that lily pad.  He gives me such a chuckle.  I paired this cutie with the sentiment You're Un-forgettable...how fitting right!

Back On Your Feet!!

 Happy Saturday HH fans!

I was on the hunt in our collection of rubber stamps for something a little different for a get well card.  I knew I wanted to use the sentiment Back On Your Feet.  So I looked & pondered along the way and ultimately decided on Turtle Stack.  I thought it was perfect with the sentiment....just look at those two turtles on top kicking out there feet!

I also didn't want to do the traditional green that I almost always use when I colour turtles, I needed something with a little pizzazz.  So I used a darker yellow/green combo with some browns. Check out my list of Copic's below.

I have shocked myself with the last couple of cards....no ribbon & I didn't even use enamel dots on this one lol.

Musical Birthday

  I love having a stash of cards for all occasions and always need a lot of birthday cards on hand. "Flutist" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps is perfect for a card for one of the music lovers in my life and would also be perfect for a friend, just because or a happy spring card - the possibilities are endless with this adorable stamp. 

I stamped this adorable pair on alcohol marker friendly paper, coloured with Copic markers and cut it out using a xstitch die. Patterned paper from three different companies came together to help create the layers for the card base. I added to eyelets to the darker piece so I could tie the ribbon bow to add some texture and interest to the card. After gluing down the layers I stamped the sentiment, added it to matching card stock and glued it down. Enamel dots finish off my card.

Thinking of You!

 Happy Wednesday HH fans!

I don't often colour flowers only because I love colouring animals.  But today I'm sharing an easy to colour yet beautiful image called Thinking of You.  I can't tell you how many times I wish I had a card like this in my stash & I had to scramble to get something put together for someone.  There are those times that we want to send a little inspiration to let someone know they are in our thoughts.

This images comes with the sentiment right in the centre, to change it up & use it for another purpose is as easy as masking out the centre.

This image comes from our Doodles collection, I put a few links below.
