Showhorse

Happy Sunday!!

It's the second Sunday of June with our birthday cards theme..

For this card I combined a circus stamp with a fairytale stamp and I really love the outcome!!

I've diecut a square on the front of the card, so you can see the Castle in the background on the inside of the card. I love how the Showhorse stands out on a window frame!!

On the inside I've diecut a grey square and glued the Castle image on top. 

For the grass I've diecut some green cardstock with a Stithed Edge die to create hills.. 

The sentiment Birthday Wishes is inked on a mini Stitched Tag and I've placed it right behind the Show Horse, so you can't see the tag when the card is closed.

Sweet Birthday Wishes

July is a big month for Birthday's in my family. I have more masculine cards then feminine to make for adults and young adults. Masculine cards are always a challenge for me but I think "Sweet Thing" is perfect for one of my younger card recipients. 

After colouring up this fun ant with his huge cupcake with alcohol markers, I hand fussy cut him leaving a thin white edge. I found a paper combination from YNS and Lawn Fawn that I liked and put my design together. The sentiment was stamped and cut with a fishtail banner die. I added a piece of matching fish tail flag banner to add a fun element. Lastly I added the stamped and coloured image using foam pop dots.
Some simple gumdrops finish off my card. Here's hoping one of my nephews enjoys their Birthday card.

Norman Goat

Howdy - MichelleO here today - and I think this is one of my all time favorite images for a fun "guy" card! This is High Hopes Stamps Norman Goat. 

 I just LOVE this goat! I colored with my Copics (colors below) and found papers from Paper Studios that I sewed down layers on to a dark brown card stock on a kraft card stock base. A die cut "happy birthday" and  the added sentiment Ya Old Goat on a EK Success punched ticket adds some added fun.

Did I say how much I love this stamp? LOL

Copic colors used -

Hope you got a giggle from this High Hopes Stamps birthday card - I am still giggling from making it!

Go Bananas!

Hello To Everyone!

For my post today, I'd like you to meet "Large Monkey Mike" from High Hopes Stamps! Isn't he just a sweetie?!! When I saw Mike I knew I wanted to have him swinging from the trees.

I used my new MFT Interactive Swing die to make "Large Monkey Mike" appear to be swinging in the palm trees. You need to cover up the swing element and allow room for it to "swing". I decided to cut some palm leaves in two sizes using my Cameo and a svg file. Then I took a piece of the same colour as the leaves and glued them on top to hide it. This way I had a piece I could mount with foam tape to hide and allow the swinging action. I created the background using some water-colour paper and Ken Oliver Colour Burst powders. I inked all the edges of the card and palm leaves with some Vintage Photo ink for added dimension. I used the HH "Swinging Birthday" sentiment and masked it off to only use the top half of the sentiment.

On the inside I used more of the Ken Oliver Powders and a straw to make it match the outside colours. I love the fun HH sentiment called "Go Bananas" that I used on the inside. I also fussy cut out a banana from it to add to Mike's hand on the outside.

Here's a short clip of "Large Monkey Mike" in his swinging action!

Copics Used:

Monkey: E50, E51, E53, E55, E57, E59

Banana: Y32, Y35, YG93, YG95

Thanks for "swinging by" today!

Happy Stamping!
