"Thinking of You"....

Welcome All!

It's hard to believe that it has been ten weeks since everything came to a grinding halt and total hibernation has taken over.

Today's CAS card is rather fitting with the whole COVID situation that everyone is dealing with.  I have used the adorable Thoughtful Kimberly paired with One of Those Days, both from High Hopes Stamps.

After coluring the image with Copic Markers, I cut it out using a Pleated Circle Die.  I then used a larger Pleated Circle Die to cut out a piece of mulberry paper with one edge trimmed. Some ribbon and Nuvo Morning Dew Crystal Drops finished off the card.

 

Supplies used:

• Stamps: Thoughtful Kimberly (H202), One of Those Day (F252) -- High Hopes Stamps

One Of those Days!

Welcome to another Sunday, 

card inspiration High Hopes Stamps friends!

For today I'm sharing a bright and cheerful card that reminds you somebody loves you. I absolutely adore this sentiment "One Of Those Days" and cute "Left Butterfly" image from HHS. Both images are just perfect for this hard days! 

I begin my stamping my image and colored with Prismacolor pencils and a blending pen. Then fussy cut it leaving a small white edge. I stamped the greeting and layer it. I want this card to be a happy one so I decided to created a flat shaker card. For paper I am using a 6X6 paper pad called "Latest & Greatest" from Autentique. 

Here is a close up!

I adhesive "Left Butterfly" with foam tape to give dimension and used Nuvo Glitter Drops to give some sparkle. Ribbon bow and gold sequins finish off my card. I hope you enjoy my card I've made for you today.

Dear Spring......

I admit it, I'm winter weary and I have been thinking about Spring a lot! 
This week I decided to have some fun with my thoughts of Spring and make a card for Spring. Weird right?! but maybe if Spring knows how much it is loved it will think about coming a little earlier then usual....<wink> 

"Sitting Bee" and some fun spring coloured paper were perfect for my "thinking of you" card for Spring. 

I coloured this cutie with alcohol markers and hand fussy cut it leaving a thin white edge around the antennas. They were tough to cut and things went a little awry with the paper/scissor/knife combo I was using......sigh.........
Next I cut a piece of white card stock to size and cut a honey comb pattern die. I taped it on the cardstock using painters tape and used it as a stencil for my background. After I was done inking my background I added the sentiment using my Misit for perfect placement. 

All of the paper is lightly edged with antique linen Distress ink. 

Instead of throwing out my now blue honey comb pattern I decided it would be a perfect embellishment for this card along with some enamel dots and a pop of ribbon. I hope Spring likes her card and decides to come early!

Un-Frogettable!

Happy Tuesday!

Today's card was super fun to make and those adorable frogs just make me grin!

I used the High Hopes Stamps image called "Froggy Stack" and the sentiment is called "You're Un-frogettable". I created my own background and layered it on top of some polka dot paper from the Echo Park Dots & Stripes Christmas 6x6 collection. A bit of natural twine and a cute charm finished off my design.

I created my background by making my own stencils. For the cloud stencil I used a die border and the cat tails I used a svg. file and my Silhouette Cameo. Then I sponged Distress ink onto the white paper underneath.

On the inside I used the sentiment called "One of Those Days" also by HH! I also added a border  down the side of the card made with the MFT Small Monarch Border die.

Frogs: YG03, YG25, YG17, N3, R24
