Snowin' & Blowin'

Welcome Everyone;

To wrap up the Christmas in July series for this month, I have used the adorable Snowman Snowball from High Hopes Stamps.  They definitely appear to be having some fun.

After stamping the image on XPress It Blending Cardstock, I used to Copic Markers to colour it.  It was then cut out using an Eylet Elegance Rectangle die.  Some twine,  and Glaceier Jewels finished off the card.   The Snowin & Blowin sentimant was added to the inside of the card.

Hi everyone,

I can't believe I haven't posted since May....WOW that just blew me away!  It appears I do a lot more coloring than getting my cards made.  I suppose that's why stash of colored images is crazy big.  I need to change that because it's July & I have a bucket load of cards to get done.

Here at High Hopes Rubber Stamps we are celebrating "Christmas In July".  I colored up this adorable image called Snowman Snowball for the website and just couldn't resist getting a card done with this cutie today.  When you get an idea in your mind you have to run with it right?!  I paired this image with the High Hopes sentiment called Cozy Season.

I pulled out an older Bo Bunny pad called Powder Mountain.  I have wanted to use the pinecone paper for a long time but didn't quite have an image that spoke to me...this one was a good match.  I remember when I was little my brothers & I would go tobogganing & I would run around collecting up all the pinecones I could find from under the pine trees.  It was like a treasure hunt for me to find them buried in the snow.  I always carted them all home for my Mom...don't think she really wanted them but she took them anyway lol.
