Merry Christmas!

Hi Everyone;

For today's card, I have used an old favourite of High Hopes Stamps -  Sitting Santa, paired with Small Christmas Script.  Santa is taking a brief rest and still wrapping presents, or he has finished his deliveries and is taking a rest.  After all, Christmas is a very busy time for him.  

After stamping the image, I coloured it with Copic Markers, and then cut it out using a Nested Oval Die from Spellbinders.  Some tri-coloured Christmas ribbon and enamel dots finished off this card.

Your Best Miles are Still Ahead

Welcome Everyone;

Now that things are beginning to look up, we can look forward to some leisurely peaceful summer drives in the country and to the beach.   I remember the Beetle from growing up.  These cars may be small, but they certainly got you places.

For today's card, I have used Beetle Bug 1 from the Mix It Up release and paired it up with Best Miles;  which both have been sprung from the High Hopes Stamps Vault.  After colouring the samped image with Copic Markers, I used a Double Stitched Rectangle Die to cut it out and mounted it on some Foil from Kaisercraft.  To add the Silver glitter, I used a Nuvo Silver Glitter Marker to colour the area first, then added some Nuvo Silver Sparkle Dust.  I didn't think it was going to stick, but it did.  How long it will last is another story, and time will tell.  I haven't added Sparkle Dust to a card, this way before.  The creative experiment of the day.   Some enamel dots finished off this very CAS card.

Sick Ollie

Good morning High Hopes Friends,

I can't believe the month is gone already and next Sunday is Easter!

 Today I'm back with another GET WELL card using "Sick Ollie" from High Hopes Stamps

Supplies List; 6X6 cardstock pad called Canvas for my base, them I layered with a piece of red cardstock. I used light brown distress ink around the edges for dimension.  As a finishing touch, I doddle some lines with a white pen, diamond stickles and glossy accent.

 Copic I used; giraffe Y35 Y38 E31 E33 E34 blanket R21 R22 BG10 tissue box Y11 Y13 C7 

 Thank you for visit my blog today. 

Have a BLESS day.

   

Egg-Stra Special Easter!

Welcome HH Fans;

It is almost Easter and it will be so different this year due to the pandemic.  Instead of large Easter Egg Hunts, there will be many small ones.

For today's card, I have used the cute and adorable Easter Bunny Stack and paired it with Egg-Stra Special, both which are  from High Hopes Stamps.  After colouring the image with copic markers, I added some Milled Lavender Distress Ink around the image.   I cut some eggs from a small piece of design paper and added Nuvo Crystal Glaze to them. I off-centered the main image on the card and added some twine and enamel dots finished off the card.

• Stamps:  Easter Bunny Stack (S177), Egg-Stra Special (G243) -- both from High Hopes Stamps
