Skateboard Dude!

For my post today I am sharing with you a card I made using the HH stamp called Gabriel Loves To Skateboard! I love all the images in the new release called All About Boys! I don't think I could choose a favourite! 

 I decided on papers from Bazill Basics Dino-Mite 6x6 collection. I got out an old Spellbinder I had called Star Circles to layer behind Gabriel. Using Tim Holtz's Vintage Photo Distress ink, I inked all the edges of my papers. The sentiment is from the Sentiment #3 set. A bit of twine and a few brown Gumdrops in the corners and my card was done!

I left the inside blank for now until I go to use the card then I will stamp a sentiment for whatever occasion it is for.

Bob's A Water Ski Dude

             It's Thursday and my day to post some inspiration AND it's one day closer          to Fri-YAY!!! 

I love when you can look at a stamp and it brings back happy memories - either from your childhood or your present. 

My post today is sharing Bob's A Water Ski Dude and a sentiment from Sentiment Set #3 both from the new All About Boys release at High Hopes Stamps. 

This stamp took me back to my childhood. I remember my younger brother trying to water ski. He was having a very hard time getting up...........I'm thinking it was because our cousin who was driving the boat was doing everything he could to not let that happen. He would take off fast instead of slowly so my brother could get up. We had alot of laughs that day and he eventually did get up! 

Without further ado, my card featuring Bob's A Water Ski Dude.

After colouring Bob with alcohol markers (list below), I mounted him on cardstock and a variety of patterned papers from Carta Bella, Echo Park  and Basic Grey (more details on my blog). I added some ribbon from American Craft and some brads from my stash. What is new for me on this one is that I actually put the sentiment and the striped paper off the edge of the card - gasp! 

This is new for me - I usually keep everything contained within my card base - I love to try new things sometimes.......

Gabriel Loves Soccer!

Howdy High Hopes Fans!

I am just loving this New Release All About Boys! I love them all! Today I am using the stamp called Gabriel Loves Soccer! This is a perfect image as soccer has become such a popular sport, especially among the young boys and girls! I am sure you know someone that would appreciate a card made with Gabriel! 

I decided to use paper from the Doodlebug Back To School collection! I just love the vibrant primary colours! I layered all my design paper with matching cardstock as well as my image and sentiment. I used a sentiment from the new Sentiment #3 Set. I've had the MFT stackable star die forever and finally put it to good use! A little bit of twine with a knot and voila my card is done!

I left the inside blank until I need to use it for an occasion then I will stamp a sentiment.

Super Star Save?

         Happy Thursday High Hopes Fans!!

I played soccer growing up. I was often the only girl on an all boys team because they didn't have all girl teams like they do now.....ooopps! showing my age here! I loved playing soccer even if there was some full body contact once and awhile and I went home with a few bruises now and again. 

Today I am sharing Gabriel Loves Soccer for the All About Boys new release.

I wanted Gabriel to look like he was diving for the ball in front of the net to make a superstar save. I created the net by cutting some gold trim Christmas ribbon I had in my stash I had found in a dollar store. I "pounced"  it with  white ink to tone down the gold mixed in with the white in the ribbon. The goal posts are grey card stock. 

I fussy cut Gabriel (seems to be my thing lately!) and popped him and the ball using 3D foam squares after colouring him with alcohol markers. My card is finished off with a soccer ball button from Dress It Up.
