Speedy Recovery!

It’s Wednesday, and this week, I used Walker Walter - TLF013 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) from the new release for the main image and Speedy Recovery Background - U004 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) for the sentiment. I have an older friend in the hospital right now waiting to have an operation and I thought this little card would definitely cheer him up.

To make my card this week, I used Recollections - Cape Cod cardstock for the base card which is 4.25" x 5.5". I stamped both the large background image and Walter using my Misti and Memento - Tuxedo Black ink.

Then I ran the background image through my Cuttlebug using Your Next Stamp - Stitched Rectangle Die Set to die cut it.

Both images were coloured using Copic Markers. I edged around the background image and card base with Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Blueprint Sketch. I used my Brother Scan and Cut to cut around "Walker Walter" and then outlined the image with Copic Markers C3 and C1. Next, I ran the image through my Xyron Creative Station and adhered it to some Black cardstock. I again used the Scan and Cut to cut around the image. I thought the border was too large, so I just manually fussy cut around the image leaving a smaller black border around it.

To complete the card, I bumped up both the background and the main image with 3M VHB - 2 sided tape.

Inside Spinner Card!

Hello HH Fans!

Today I am sharing with you my first "Inside Spinner" card inspired by Jennifer McGuire. When I saw her video I knew I wanted to try one of this cute interactive cards. I decide to make a Get Well Card and use the adorable "Valerie Nurse Angel" from High Hopes Stamps.

I decided to use papers from the Echo Park "Have Faith" 6x6 collection. I coloured my image with my Copic Markers and then fussy cut it out using my Brother Cut N Scan. I popped both the die cut and my image up with foam tape for extra dimension to my layers. I added Spectrum Noir Clear Glitter Pen to the red cross, bandaids and her wings for a touch of sparkle.

On the inside is the surprise spinning element. I used the HH "Bandaid" to create the spinner with. All you have to do is wind it up before you close it and then when the recipient opens the card the bandaid spins and hopefully brings a smile to their face to cheer them up. The sentiment is also from High Hopes and is called "Better Quickly".

Here's a short video of the card in action.

Copics Used:

Howdy HH Fans!

I was running low on Get Well cards so I thought it's the perfect time to get out High Hopes Stamps image called Valerie Nurse Angel. 

I am using paper from my stash again! It's one of my goals (not resolutions LOL) for the New Year.  I cut out my image using a MFT Zigzag Oval die and layered a Spellbinder Lacey circle behind it. I layered the middle strip of Designer paper with a border punch strip on both sides. A bit of ribbon and some Stickles on Valerie's wings finish off my card. 

On the inside I'm using the High Hopes sentiment called "Better Quickly" and the super cute "Bandaid".

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E11, R20

Hair: Y11, Y21, E53

Bear: E42, E43, E44, E47, E49

Dress: C1

Wings: B000

Bandaid: E95, E97

Reds: R35, R37

I actually made 3 of these cards for my "stock pile". I did the bear's fur different on each image. I used dots on one and squiggles on the other. Not sure which of the 3 images I like the best.

Thanks for stoping by today!

Happy Crafting!
