Thank You for Teacher

Hello High Hopes Fans!

I have another teacher card to share with you today.
The patterned paper that I used on last weeks card was still lying around on my table so I decided to make another card with it.

This time I used the Mouse Tales stamp.


All the patterned paper is The Paper Studio from Hobby Lobby.
The ribbon is also from Hobby Lobby.

The image was colored with colored pencils.


The sentiment is Large Script Thank You from High Hopes.


I hope you enjoyed my card today!

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.
Copics Used:
Frogs: YG03, YG25, YG17, N3, R24 
Flower: YG67, YR04, YR07, YR09, Y38
Lily Pad: YG61, YG63, YG67

Monkey Message Board

Hello High Hopes Fans!!!
 
Happy Saturday Friends!  Here's a birthday card for that special guy in your life...
 Lisa 
 
This is Monkey Message Board (R141) and part of Swinging Birthday sentiment (H191).  Such a cute monkey!!!  Different sentiments could be stamped on the board, depending on what type of card you are making.
 
I started by colouring the image with Tombow Markers and water. After the image was all coloured and dry, I applied some Zig-Wink of Stella clear glitter on the leaves.  I love the bit of sparkle that this gives to the card.
 
The pattern papers are from Carta Bella - Work Hard 6x6 Paper Pad, along with some SU Kraft and White cardstock.  The image was cut down to a smaller size to better fit this card.  SU Chocolate Chip Ink Pad was used along with a sponge dauber to ink the edges of the image.  The sentiment was stamped with a Versamark Ink Pad and Black Embossing Powder was applied then heated.  Foam tape was applied under the main image to give this card some dimension. To complete this card, a bunch of YNS Gumdrops - Love Me Some Latte were added.  I hope you like today's card!  

Supplies Used:
Ink - Tombow Markers - 969, 977, 990, N79, 761 and 126.  Versamark Ink Pad, Black Embossing Powder, and SU Chocolate Chip Ink Pad for sponging.

Possum Pals

Hello High Hopes Fans!!!
 
Happy Friday! Here's a card using an older, but very cute image...
 Jane 

 
This is Possum Pals (S090) and Hang in there sentiment (D278).  Such a fun and adorable image... This type of card could be used for a variety of different occasions, like a Get Well or Thinking of You card - just to name a couple.

I started by colouring the image with Tombow Markers and water. After the image was all coloured and dry, I applied some Glossy Accents on the Possum's noses and flowers.

The main image was die cut using a Spellbinders Circle Die and then layered with a Memory Box - Stitched Scalloped Circle Die on SU Wild Wasabi cardstock.  A MFT Die called Stitched Fishtail Flag was used on a piece of SU Melon Mambo under the layered image.  The designer paper is from Doodlebug-Sweet Things 6x6 paper pad, along with SU Wild Wasabi, Melon Mambo and White Cardstock.  Foam tape was used under the main image to add some dimension.  
 
The sentiment was stamped with a Versamark Ink Pad and White Embossing Powder was applied then heated.  To complete this card, a few YNS Gumdrops-Love Earth were added to match the green cardstock.  
 
Supplies Used:
***Note: If you are in need of any products used here, please send Lora at OCS an email and I'm sure she would be happy to get the item(s) you are looking for.

Bee Happy

                             Happy Thursday High Hopes fans! 

My post today features Bumble Bear. How cute is he with his big flower and heart on his chest!

I decided to get in touch with my CAS (Clean and Simple) side with this card - a definite challenge for me! 

                                                      Donna




Sparkly Wings Close Up




I started by colouring my bear with alcohol markers, adding sparkle to his wings and fussy cutting him out. Next, I figured out the size my piece of white cardstock had to be and stamped a flower splatter with some pink ink to match. I created my sentiment on my computer and doodled the frame around the edge. CAS is a challenge for me but I am happy with how this one turned out.

Bossy's Bad Mood - Waiting for Heifer

Howdy - Michelle O here today and I had some fun with a few great High Hopes Stamps - Bossie's Bad Mood is this one, and I just love matching her up with the sentiment "Waiting For Heifer". I know I get grumpy when I wait for something a long time! LOL


I colored with my Copics (colors below) masking off the cow and adding the High Hopes "Bale O'Hay" image for her to be sitting on, and then found some sweet papers from Authentique's Legacy collection. Inking the edges of all the papers with Rangers Distress Ink Tea Dye, and the sewing all the layers together. A band of vintage ribbon around the middle. Martha Stewart Frond and branch punches and lots of mulberry roses. I inked the leaves, branches and roses a little to give them a little more aged look.

Copic colors used -
