Butterfly Smiles

  I can never have too many Just Because type cards in my stash. "Butterfly Chick" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps is a fun, versatile image that makes me smile and I hope it will do the same for the person I send it to.

I challenged myself to step out of my square card comfort zone and went on the hunt for a different shape of card. Slimline cards are quite popular in the crafting world but the mini slimline style peeked my curiosity. There are a couple different sizes out there but the finished size of 3" x 6" fit my stamp the best. I am very happy with the end result and I see more of this style in my future. 

After stamping my image, I coloured it with Copic markers and hand fussy cut it leaving a thin white edge. Next I found some paper from two different collections from Lawn Fawn that worked together and cut them to size. I used a stitched scalloped edge to cut the edge of one piece for some added interest. 

Next I stamped the sentiment and cut it out using a fish tail banner die. I added the stamp to the card using foam pop dots and added some ribbon over the corner and enamel dots to finish off my card.

Butterfly Chick

 Howdy - MichelleO here today - There is a August 2020 New Release at High Hopes Stamps! Another great group of new stamps to play with! This week I used Butterfly Chick! How adorable is this little guy! 

Cute right? I colored with my Copics (colors below) then added a little pencil shadowing. I found some glittering papers from Imaginisce love the sparkle to them. I sewed the layers together with a fun zig zag stitch and then added my image and sentiment also from High Hopes Stamp "Happy Bird Day!" sewn down with a straight stitch. I was going to add flowers or something more, but it just felt finished and I loved seeing all the sparkle to the paper... sorry it isn't showing in my photo for you.

August 2020 Release!

Welcome!

Today is the start of the August 2020 Release over at High Hopes Stamp! I know you're just as excited about this as I am! I mean we just had a release last month and now another one...... it just doesn't get better than this! I'm the lucky one to kick off the New Release using the oh so adorable "Butterfly Chick"! This is just the sweetest little chick ever!

I stamped this "Butterfly Chick" onto Copic friendly paper and used my Copic Sketch Markers to colour it in. I chose papers from the C.C. Designs "Hearts and Dots" and Sunny Studios "Gingham Pastels" 6x6 collections. The "Smiling" sentiment is one of my favourite High Hopes sentiments. Perfect for so many different cards! I used a few different dies to create this layout and added a bit of twine to finish it off!
