Sitting Santa Layout - Lacey

Hello High Hopes Fans!!

Well it's back to the grind!
My kids went back to school yesterday after their almost-3 week break.
I love being home with them, but it is hard to get anything done.
We had a great time together while they were on break and we are looking forward to a great year!

I really need to get caught up on some scrapbook layouts. Hopefully I will be able to do more layouts more often. I miss it and I'm desperately behind!

I had these pictures already printed out so I went with 2014 first (I don't think I have any Christmas layouts completed yet!! I have 13 years to catch up on!! Yikes!

I decided to use Sitting Santa S203 for this layout.

The image was embossed in black onto watercolor paper and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Happy stamping!!

Bedelia Butterfly

Howdy - MichelleO here and I think that this time year the best way to warm up and feel Spring is to color it up! And I just love High Hopes Stamps Bedelia Butterfly!

Colored up Bedilia with my Copics (colors below) and then found some pretty papers from Dovecraft Sweet Paris collection. Love the papers colors. I dug deep into the punch drawer and found an older Martha Steward scalloped heart border punch.

All the layers are sewn down, and then I found three great vintage old buttons in a jar of estate buttons I purchased years ago. Just love using old found things! Especially buttons.

The sentiment is "Bold Happy Birthday" also a fabulous High Hopes Stamps.  Such a great fun font.

Copic colors used -

Hope you like my Card - warmed you up a bit! So ready for Spring myself!

Little Sleuth

Happy New Year!

I hope you had a fabulous holiday season!

It's my turn to post on the High Hopes Blog and I decided to dig out some of my older images that haven't gotten much love lately.

This is Little Sleuth.

Isn't he adorable?!?

I colored him with my Tombow USA Recycled Pencils and blended with Gamsol.

The Sentiment is No Mystery.
He also goes with the sentiment No Clue.

The patterned paper is from the Fancy Pants True Friend paper pack.
The button is from my stash.

I know all the new releases are adorable and so exciting but if you haven't checked out some of the older images in the High Hopes store, you should because they are classic!

And...right now all the stamps are 30% off and....free shipping on orders over $50 within Canada & the US!

Happy Stamping!

Diver Dan!

Happy Tuesday!

Hi everyone! I just got back yesterday from a warm and relaxing vacation in Aruba! I was inspired from my trip and our snorkeling excursion to make a card with the High Hopes Stamps image called "Diver Dan".

I thought  "Diver Dan" would look adorable as a Shaker card as he would look like he was under water! I tried a new product this time. It's called Masking Fluid. I stamped my image onto my Copic paper then using the fluid, filled the image in and let it totally dry. Then using some Distress paint in Picket Fence and a Heidi Swapp Color Shine spray on my craft mat I dragged the image through the wet paints. This made the white space behind my image take on a water look. Once the paint was dry you just use your fingers and peel off the dry masking fluid. Your image is left nice and white and then you are able to use your markers to colour it!

I put some Glossy Accents on Dan's mask and the little air bubble. I filled the shaker with Doodlebug sequins, some tiny clear seed beads and white glitter.

On the inside I used a word sticker from Heidi Swapp's No Limits Buzz Word collection.

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, R11

Hair: E43, E44, E47

Tank, Hose & Flippers: T3, T5, T7

Watch: Y38

Mask: R24, R29

It's the beginning of a new month so don't forget that also means it's the start of a new Challenge over on the High Hopes Blog! The theme this month is "Anything Goes". All you have to do is make a project using a High Hopes Stamp to enter. If you don't have one, feel free to use our free digi. I hope to see your entry linked up! Good luck!

Happy Stamping

This is High Flyin' Mouse (R137).  This image makes for the perfect birthday card, scrapbook page, or just a fun type of card for any friend or family member!   

 

I started by colouring the image with Tombow Markers and water. After the image was all coloured and dry, I applied some Glossy Accents to the balloon and mouse's nose.

 

The pattern paper is from Simple Stories-I <heart> Summer 6x6 Paper Pad, along with some SU Sahara Sand and white cardstock.  The image was cut down to a smaller size then layered with the sand cardstock. Two strips of grosgrain stitched ribbon were added vertically and then two strips of ribbon horizonally.  Foam tape was applied to raise the main image, to add a bit of dimension.  To complete this card, a bunch of YNS - Holly Berry Red Gumdrops were added below and to the top right hand side of the image.

Supplies Used:

Ink - Tombow Markers - 847, 856, N15, N95, 761, 933, N79, 535, 553, and 905.  Versamark Ink Pad and Black Embossing Powder.
 

Paper - Simple Stories - I <heart> Summer 6x6 Paper Pad; SU Sahara Sand and White Cardstock.
 

Misc - Glossy Accents, YNS - Holly Berry Red Gumdrops, SU Grosgrain Stitched Ribbon - Vintage Violet,  Water Brush, Foam Tape, and Glue Dots.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Stackable Stanley

Hello High Hopes Fans!!!

Come join our NEW monthly challenge...and you could be the next winner of two High Hopes Stamps of your choice.  The details for the January Challenge - "Anything Goes" can be found here. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I sure hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas and had fun ringing in the New Year last night/early this morning...  Best Wishes for 2016!!!

This is  Lg. Stackable Stanley (M021) and Happy New Year Sentiment (G234).  These stamps are not from the newest release, but they are so super cute and fun to play with, I just couldn't resist!   

I started by colouring the image with Tombow Markers and water. After the image was all coloured and dry, I added some Glossy Accents to Stanley's carrot nose.  I love adding some shine or glitter to all of my cards!

The image was fussy cut out.  A MFT Die-Namics die called Stitched Basic Edge was cut using some white cardstock for the snow hill.  A SU Chocolate Chip card base was used and a piece of Bo Bunny-Whiteout Collection 6x6 Paper Pad was cut to create the sky-like background.The main image was foam taped to the Bo Bunny paper then attached to the white layer and then brown card base. 

 

The sentiment was heat embossed using white embossing powder then foam tape was applied to give the sign some additional dimension.  To add a bit more sparkle, iridescent sequins were placed around Stanley to create a falling snow appearance.  To complete this card design, a piece of Doodlebug twine with a bow was tied and placed above Stanley.   

 

Supplies Used:

Ink - Tombow Markers - 933, 985, N75, 977, 969, 533, and 535.  Versamark Ink Pad, White and Black Embossing Powder.

 

Paper - Bo Bunny-Whiteout & Sleigh Ride Collections 6x6 Paper Pad; SU Chocolate Chip & White Cardstock.

 

Misc - Glossy Accents, MFT-Die-Namics - Stitched Basic Edge Die, Sequins, Doodlebug Twine-Bon Bon, Water Brush, Foam Tape, and Glue Dots.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you and your family/friends have a wonderful New Year's Day!
