Meet Gavin the Givin' Dragon!

 Happy Saturday HH fans!

I'm getting a late start to my Saturday morning today.  I'm feeling a little lazy today but that's okay it's Saturday, right!

Today I have a 2 card post for you using our adorable image called Gavin the Givin' Dragon.  Lately I have wanted to create 2 cards with some images - one for a boy & one for a girl.  It sure does save me time to make them both at once & it really helps my stash too.

This pic shows them both together.  To me they look totally different even though they are the same image.  I left off the ribbon on the boy's card but couldn't help adding a few enamel dots.  I used the Happy Birthday Script for the gals card (one of my FAV Happy Birthday sentiments) & I used part of the Swinging Birthday sentiment for the boy's card.  I got the idea to use parts of sentiments from my friend Donna...she is a master at that.  It really is a great idea to make more out of your sentiment collection.

It's no secret that I'm a HUGE fan of purple...actually it's my favourite colour.  I really loved it paired with the orange.

Next up is my boy's version.  So I used some dinosaur paper on this one, I didn't have any dragon paper.  But can you really notice the difference?  I suppose you can but I liked it anyway.

Hello!

I'm popping in today with a Christmas card using the adorable "Gavin The Givin' Dragon" from High Hopes Stamps! I decided to use Gavin for a Christmas card but he's be perfect for a Birthday card too!

After I stamped "Gavin" onto Copic friendly paper, I coloured him in using my Copic Sketch Markers. Next I cut him out using a Memory Box Stitched Scallop Circle die. I decided to use papers from the Echo  Park "A Cozy Christmas" 6x6 collection. I added a Snowflake Border in the green cardstock for a subtle look and added sequins with a red gem centers. It's hard to see in the picture but there is glitter pen on the bows. The sentiment is also from High Hopes and is called "Scripty Merry Christmas". A bit of twine and a die cut snowflake finish off my card. 

Copics Used:

Dragon: G46, 29, 24, 21/ W3, W6

Presents: R37, R59, R89/ E41, E42, E43/ YG91, YG93

Bows: R37, R59/ YG63, YG67

I hope you'll head on over to the High Hopes website and see all Lora's adorable stamps! You can find more inspiration from the Design Team by visiting our Blog and Facebook page too!
