Snow Buddy Wishes

  I tend to hibernate in the winter especially in January and February. I live on the edge of a snow belt so the weather is often snowing and blowing. So, my social life is quieter but I still love to let my friends know I am thinking about them and love to send a card once and awhile so I am adding to my thinking of you, just because stash with a card featuring "Snow Buddies" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. 

                                                                                                                    

I stamped on alcohol marker friendly paper, coloured these cuties with Copic markers and cut them out using a Peekaboo rectangle die. This was the first time using this die so I didn't realize it cut the middle like it does so I cut a matching card stock frame and set the stamp in the middle - a happy accident I think. 

I wanted to do something a little different with my pre made 5.5" x 5.5" base so after folding it in half, I scored one side at the half way mark to form a "Z" shape. I wasn't totally happy with how it "sat" so after adding some patterned paper from My Minds Eye, inking the paper edges and adding ribbon, I glued down the top flap for a fun, different card style. I added some sparkly icicles to help set the "outdoor" feel to the card and added a piece of white card stock on the inside to add a hand written note. 

I stamped the sentiment, added it to card stock and added enamel dots finish off my card.

Snow Buddies!

Hello Friends!

I'm sharing my last card today from the "Winter Friends" re-release over at High Hopes Rubber Stamps. This cutie is called "Snow Buddies". I'm going to send this to my friend to brighten these winter days! What a fun month it's been seeing what the Design Team created using all the new images!

To start, I stamped my image onto some Copic friendly paper and coloured it in with my Copic Sketch markers. Then using a Gina Marie "Loopy Square" die I cut the image out. I'm using papers from the Photoplay "Luke 2" 6x6 collection. I added some polka dots to the Hedgies scarf and ear muffs for a fun look. I love this sentiment called "Friendship". It can be used for so many different card themes! A bit of glitter pen on the snow elements and Crystal Stickles finish off my card.

Copics Used:

Hedgie & Owl: E50, E51, E53, E55, E57, E59

Stump: E43, E44, E47
