Celebrate the Magic of Christmas!

 Happy Tuesday HH fans!

Christmas will be here before you know it....sorry just had to put that out there.  I'm continuing on my little journey to get as many cards done for the season as I can.  I don't want to get to December & kick myself for not working on them sooner lol.

This week I have one of my favourites to share, this is Hope for Peace Snowy.  I coloured this cutie up with my Prisma pencils, again while I was away in the Yukon in June.  I paired this with our sentiment called Magic of Christmas because Christmas is magical to me.

Instead of leaving the bird white (for a dove) I went with a red Cardinal.  Cardinals remind me of my Mom who past a few years ago.

Even though I didn't have the best cardstock for colouring with pencils with me I think this turned pretty decent.

Hope you enjoyed today's card & thanks for popping by!

Happy stampin'!

Season's Greetings!

Hello!

It's Christmas in July over on the High Hopes Blog and the Design Team is having so much fun creating with this theme. For my card today, I am using the adorable "Hope For Peace Snowy" and the "Season's Greetings" sentiment both from High Hopes of course! After penguins, Snowmen are my favourite Winter/Christmas themed stamps to create with!

I started my card making process by stamping my image onto some Copic friendly paper using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Next, I decided on what papers I wanted to use and I chose the Echo Park "Christmas Salutations" 6x6 collection. I coloured my image to match the papers using my Copic Sketch markers. Using a MFT Postage stamp die, I cut my image out and popped it up using foam squares onto my base of layers. Some twine, a bow, snowflake embellie and enamel dots finish off my card.

Copics Used:

N0, N1, N3, N5, N7, N8, N10

R01, R39, R59, R89

YG63, YG67

C00, C0, C2

YR04, YR09

B0000, B000, B00

Christmas In July Using...Hope For Peace Snowy!

Hi everyone,
Carolina here, with a Christmas in July idea for you today!

For today's project I am using "Hope For Peace Snowy" stamp from High Hopes Stamps.

This pretty glitter paper bags and tags was inspired by a photo I saw on Pinterest a while ago. This cute Snowman stamp was the first stamp I purchase from High Hopes Stamps a few years ago. One of my favorite!

The image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured with alcohol markers. First time I used my Memento Tuxedo ink to distress the edges of the tag... Like how it looks!

To give him some sparkle I used a yoobi gold jelly pen from Target.

Supplies Used:

Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, Hope For Peace Snowy stamp, Copic Markers, Real Red Cardstock, Fancy That Designer Paper from My Mind's Eye, Glitter Bags, Gingham Ribbon, Linen Thread, Hot Glue Gun and embellishments from my stash.

Copic Marker List: B000 C1 C7 C9 E51 R27 R29 RV10 YR4 YR7 YG95 YG97 & 0
