Let's Go On A Journey!

Hi!

Don't you just love old vintage cars? I love it when you see them out driving, they always get lots of stares! Where I live we have a car show every August called "Moparfest. It's the biggest all Mopar show in Canada and people come from all over to show their cars or to see the sights! I think High Hopes "Vintage Car" would be perfect in that show!

I stamped and coloured my image with Copic Markers and then die cut it using a Stitched Fishtail die. I matted my card base with black, red and then paper from the Authentique "Everlasting" 6x6 collection. The HH sentiment "Journey" goes perfectly with this car, that is perfect for just going out cruising around. Some rick rack ribbon and enamel dots finish off my card.

Copics Used:

R37, R59, R89

W00, W1, W6, W8, W9

B000, B0000

Vintage Classic

 Howdy - MichelleO here today... Vroom Vroom! This week for High Hopes Stamps I drove out another fun car from the vault! The Mix it Up Release is some of the favorites that were retired and now have been released again! This "car" is Vintage Classic - 

How fun is this image for a car lover? I colored the car with my Copics (colors below) and went with a creamy yellow color and a little rust as it is a loved older car. I then went through my pattern papers and found this paper from Cosmo Cricket ... I adore grey and yellow together! And it worked perfect for my classic car! I sewed down the layers and put on a grey card stock base for my card. The sentiment is also from the Mis it Up release - "Best Miles" Great for this classic car don't you think? I punched it out with a large EK Success punch and then went around it with a dark grey Copic as a faux mat. I added it to the card and then added six enamel dots - love enamel dots too! LOL 

Copic colors used -

Make A Wish

I everyone and welcome.

 Lora owner of  High Hopes Stamps has opened the vault this month, and I am super excited to be sharing some of the images from the "Mix It Up Release"...Yippee!

For today I used "Fairy Garden" and the sentiment is "Make A Wish" from High Hopes Stamps!

To start my card I stamped the image with black ink and colored with my Prisma color pencils and a blender. The pattern paper is "Let's Celebrate" from First Edition. I layer my Fairy Garden image over some silver cardstock. To finish my card I stamped the sentiment and layered over a piece of silver strip cardstock and tie a bow using a baby blue satin ribbon. Don't forget to check up every day, what the diva's have created with this  "Mix It Up Release".

Thank you for visit my blog today. 

Have a BLESS day.

A New Adventure

  I have a little man in my life who makes me smile and keeps me young! I met him a couple days after he was born and this adorable, strong little man is growing fast. He is a typical boy - loves anything with wheels, biking and jumping on the trampoline. I do have to admit he is a little hard to keep up with <wink>

Fire Truck from the vault opening and the "Mix It Up" release at High Hopes reminds me of this little guy because ... well.....it has wheels! The New Adventure sentiment reminds me of him because I don't know how, but in September he is old enough to start school! Not sure how the little's in our lives always grow so fast. This card was made for him for his first day of school as his new adventure begins....

After stamping the fire truck I coloured it with Copic Markers, hand fussy cut it and ran a black marker around the edge to get any white I had missed. After setting him aside I chose some patterned paper from a Christmas Photo Play pad and matching card stock. Next I found some lighter grey card stock in my scrap pieces bin and cut it to fit my card base. 

I created the "fire station" by inking up a brick stencil with London Fog Memento ink and cut the doors out using a square die. To add some texture to the doors, I used my score board to add some lines to them. I printed the Fire Station #2 from my computer, stamped the sentiment and cut it to size. 

The fire station sign, sentiment and fire truck are added with 3D foam pop dots to add some dimension. Twine and enamel dots finish off my card.

Fairy Garden!!

It’s Wednesday, and this week, I'm sharing a card I made from the High Hopes Rubber Stamps "Mix It Up Release"  using Fairy Garden - TT141 for the main image and Leave Room - LL015 for the sentiment! I love movies and reading books about Fantasy! It's always so much fun to get lost in the moment, just like these little fairies are enjoying their little magical garden!

To make my card this week, I started out with a base card using AC Cardstock - White at the size of 6" x 6". I thought this paper by Graphic45 - Unique Papercrafting - Fairie Dust Collection - Moonlit Blooms went so well with the sentiment and the garden, so I die-cut it using my Couture Creations - Go Power and Emboss and Creative Expression Craft Dies by Sue Wilson - Noble Dies - Double Pierced Squares - Set B. I used double-sided tape and attached it directly to the base.

The image and sentiment were both stamped using my MISTI and Memento - Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured in the image with Copic markers and then fussy cut around it and the sentiment. I ran both pieces through my Xyron Creative Station to make them into stickers and so that they would lie completely flat when I attached them to some pieces of Recollections - Black cardstock. Once again, I fussy cut around the coloured image and sentiment. 3M VHB - 2 sided tape was attached to the backs of the image and sentiment and were applied directly to the background of the card to finish it off.

Magical Moments!

Happy 1st of June!

Wow I can't believe it's June already!! We've been blessed with such gorgeous weather this past month and hopefully it continues all Summer! Lora has opened the High Hopes "vault" again this month and has released what we are calling the "Mix It Up Release". I chose to use this adorable stamp called "Dragon Pals". I think maybe this Pal is going to teach this little one how to fly!

I decided to use papers from the Doodlebug "Dragon Tails" 6x6 collection. I started by stamping my image with Copic friendly ink and coloured it with my alcohol markers. Using a Gina Marie Feathered Lace rectangle, I cut out my image. I used some foam square and popped up the whole orange piece with the image up for added dimension. It's difficult to see but I used a glitter pen on all the orange parts of the dragons. It looks so cute in person with the glitter effect. Some matching twine and enamel dots add a finished touch.

On the decorated inside I used the High Hopes sentiment called "Magical Moments".

Copics Used:

YG01, YG03, YG17, G28, G29

Y17, Y38, YR68

W0, W1, W3, W5

B21, B28
