Hay Ride

Howdy - MichelleO here today ...  It is officially Fall right? Ok its still pretty hot where I am but on the calendar it is Fall coloring time! I pulled out a cutie favorite from High Hopes Stamps - Hay Ride

 

 Totally Adorable Right?? I adore the farm country images at High Hopes Stamps! And this cute little kids seem to be working on getting a few chores done? Maybe or just have fun giving rides. I colored with my Copics (colors below) and then inked the edges with Ranger Tie Dye ink,  for a more vintage feel on it. 

My pattern papers are from Memory Box Valise collection. All sewn down and put on a kraft paper card stock. Love the kraft card stock look of all of these papers! 

The sentiment is also from High Hopes Stamps "Welcome Fall" Great sentiment that is also an image of sorts! I used an enamel dot to faux hold the sign to the card - then decided that a few more in the opposite corner was needed as well. 

A happy card! Love how soft yet country this one feels.

Welcome Fall!

Hi there friends,

today I'm sharing a Autumn card I made using a couple adorable images from High Hopes Stamps!

To begin my card I stamped "Hay Ride" and colored with alcohol markers. Then fussy cut it leaving a small white border. For paper I'm using a 12X12 paper pad called Pumpkin Spice from Paper Smart. I cut a few of the paper a created my background. For the hearts I die cut it with a few stackable stitches hearts from MFT. For embellishes I used my white pen, adhesive a few gold sequins and added glossy accent. To finish I stamped this adorable sentiment called "Welcome Fall" and colored with alcohol markers, LOVE IT!

Hay Ride

 Howdy - MichelleO here today, we had a little teaser of cooler weather here in Texas last week. I got all inspired to pull out the Fall colors and images!! This High Hopes Stamps image "Hay Ride" is just too much fun to color!

I just adore these country farm images from High Hopes Stamps... Can't you just see how much fun that chicken is having on this hay ride? I colored with my Copics (colors below) and shaded with a few pencils. For my papers I found some My Minds Eye printed kraft papers that just were too yummy with a Fall card. The layers are sewn down with both straight and zig zag stitches. I love how the image pops on the soft printed papers. For the sentiment I found High Hopes Stamps "Welcome Fall". LOVE this "sign" sentiment. If I thought it would work I would hang out a sign to welcome the cooler weather to stay!

You just must pop over to High Hopes Stamps and see all the fun! I first fell in love with the country farm images at High Hopes Stamps, but honestly there is something for everyone, every need!

Fall is On It's Way

Hello and Happy Sunday Everyone!

It seems too early to be thinking about fall, but September is only three short weeks away and we’ll be thinking about back to school, falling leaves and garden harvests. Looking for a fabulous new fall stamp to add to your collection? Check out Hay Ride by High Hopes Rubber Stamps.

This image reminded me of how fun the High Hopes collection is to play with. The images are the perfect size for coloring, whether you’re a beginner or an advanced colorist. I paired this image with Pumpkin Trio for depth and paired it with my favorite Sending Smiles sentiment.

Have a perfectly lovely Sunday and we'll see you again next week with more great inspiration from the talented team at High Hopes Stamps.

Half The Fun

With fall comes different responsibilities around the farm. As kids, we often tried to find fun ways to get our responsibilities done - this stamp reminds me of that. I mean what is more fun then a "hay ride" to take a chicken back to it's coop?!? We didn't necessarily always think things through  ......but boy did we have fun getting our work done!

After colouring my stamp with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers, I cut it out using a stitched rectangle die. I think the paper from Simple Stories has a country feel to it - perfect for my card. Some twine, punched maple leaves and my fav - gumdrops finish off my card.
