Hang In There!

Hello!

Ok..... when I saw this image I thought it was perfect for my post this week as I'd like to think that is me, relaxing in the hammock. We are heading off on a nice trip for some warm and sunny weather, and the first hammock I see, I'm jumping in! Not to mention having one of those cocktails pictured in the Designer paper LOL. This is the adorable "Sweet Dreams" image from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. I paired it with the sentiment stamp "Hang In There".

To start, I stamped my image onto some Copic friendly paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Next I coloured in my image and cut it out using a CDD Banner die. I am using papers from the Doodlebug Sweet Summer 6x6 collection. A touch of glitter pen, a bow and enamel dots finish off my card.

Monkey Message Board

 Howdy - MichelleO here today and this week I had a little fun with a Monkey for High Hopes Stamps. This is Monkey Message Board and he is too fun for many different cards. 

He is so cute isn't he? Love his round little cheeks. I colored with my Copics (colors below). While digging in my stash of papers I found a piece of scrap paper of jungle leaves. Thought that was just too perfect for this little monkey. I sewed down the layers on a kraft brown card stock. I then added a couple of EK Success leaf punches for the corners. 

For the sentiment I added High Hopes Stamps "Hang in there!" Great sentiment to shout out a little support for someone and the monkey adds a little smile!

Fun little card for anyone. For more great images to share smiles, visit the High Hopes Stamps web site store HERE and fall in love with so so much! 

Just three little words.....Hang In There!

Happy Saturday everyone!

Today I wanted to share a little bit of encouragement & inspiration with everyone.  Just 3 little words...."Hang In There".  It's a very difficult world for all right now so this week I picked Juliettes Leap of Faith.  This card is quite simple but I think it will brighten someone's day.

I used an older Bo Bunny patterned paper with adorable hot air balloons for the matting.  I know if I was in a hot air balloon I would be wearing a parachute....just in case lol.

I stamped Juliette & fussy cut her out...it's wasn't too difficult at all.  I black lined around the edges with my Memento Tuxedo Black after I cut her out.

I created the little heart boarder across the bottom with an older Martha Stewart punch, I actually don't even recall every using it before...I think we all have things in our stash that haven't been used.  Couldn't resist this week just had to add some ribbon & enamel dots too.  I stamped the Hang in There sentiment with Prima Rusty Keys ink.

Hello HH Fans!

This month over on the High Hopes and One Crazy Stamper blogs, the Designs Teams will be inspiring you with "Thoughts of Spring" themed cards. When I saw this stamp called "Sweet Dreams",  I just knew it was perfect for the theme! After what seemed like a long Winter, I want to be this cute ant catching some "rays" in a hammock! Maybe he'll switch places with me LOL!

I decided to make a "Window Surprise" card today. I love how you have a small peak of the image but when you open the card you get a "surprise" with the whole image. I chose paper from the Echo Park Spring Fling 6x6 pad. The fun patterns and colours just are perfect for a Spring card. After I glued my paper layers together I ran it through my die cut machine to cut out the heart shape. Using 2 different heart sizes I made a little heart frame. A double bow and some enamel dots finish the front of my card.

Here you get an idea of the window. The sentiment is also from High Hopes and is called "One of Those Days".

On the inside is the cute "surprise" of the full coloured image. I stamped the HH "Hang In There" directly onto the square die cut with my image. The flower and flip flop both have glitter pen added to them.
