Hoppy Valentine's Day

It’s Wednesday, and this week I'm sharing a Valentine's Card featuring Bunny Love - S054 from (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) for the main image and Hoppy Valentines - F092 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) for the sentiment. Love this adorable image and it can be used for so many different occasions, Valentine's, which I've used here, Easter or even for an Anniversary card.

To create the card this week, I stamped the main image and sentiment onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using Memento - Tuxedo Black ink and my MISTI. I coloured in the main image with Copic Markers. Then I fussy cut around it. The sentiment was die cut using Whimsy Stamps - Quick Strips Die Set - WSD330.

To create the base I began with AC Cardstock - Christmas (6" x 6"). Then I die cut K&Company - Kelly Panacci - KP Valentine - 30-599338 paper using My Creative Time -Stitched Squares Inside and Out. For the smaller heart, I used K&Company - Kelly Panacci - KP Valentine - 30-599345 paper and Sizzix Framelets by Stephanie Barnard - 562676 - Hearts Dotted dies. I also used the same dies to cut the larger heart using Recollections - Christmas Noel paper. I inked around all of the cut images with Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Aged Mahagony and also Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Barn Door.

To assemble the card, the large square was attached directly to the base using double side tape. All of the remaining layers were popped up using 3M VHB - 2 sided tape.

Babies Are Sweet Beginnings!!!

It’s Wednesday, and this week I'm sharing a Baby Card featuring Sweet Beginnings - S169 from (High Hopes Rubber Stamps). I love this adorable stamp and I also have a few nieces that are pregnant right now. We are all looking forward to seeing pictures of the new little one's when they are born. Once Covid19 is over, hopefully, we will be able to travel again and see them in person.

To create the card this week, I stamped the image onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using my MISTI and Memento - Tuxedo Black ink. I fussy cut around the image and then coloured it in with Copic Markers.

I created a card base made from Hammermill - Premium Colour 100 lb. paper, folded to 5.5" x 4.25". For the background paper, I cut a piece the same size as the base from Echo Park - Hello Baby - It's a Girl. I attached this directly to the base with double-sided tape and then inked around the edges using Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Spun Sugar. I popped up the coloured image using 3M VHB - 2 sided tape. Lastly, I added some little embellishments from Forever In Time - Painted Wood Buttons - Patchwork Elephants to finish off the card.

Easter Masterpiece!
