Halloween Shaker Card!

Hi High Hopes Fans!

I haven't made a shaker card in so long and thought it would be perfect to use the High Hopes "Zig Zag Frame" and the little "Silly Spider" for a fun look.

I started by stamping my image, colouring it with my Copic markers and then using my Brother Cut N Scan, cut out around the image. I then cut out the inside along the border line with my craft knife to create a window. I glued a piece of acetate to the back of the image to create a window and then added foam tape. Next I added some sequins and some really cute tiny beads that my friend gave me! They are just so sweet! To create the "box" for the shaker, I then added a piece of paper to the back and voilá, I had a shaker! Using some Doodlebug paper from my stash (it's old and discontinued), I designed my card layout. Then all I had to do was attach the Shaker to the card! I added a fussy cut "Silly Spider" to the front with some twine so he can move around as you shake the card. Some Stickles and enamel dots finished everything off.

Here you can see the dimension on my card. I actually used 2 layers of foam tape so that the shaker elements had lots of room to move.

See those tiny beads....aren't they adorable!

Copics Used:

Pumpkin: YR15, YT16, YR18/ YG61, YG67/ Y15, FY1

Spider: T4, T7, T9/ BV08, FV2

Stars & Moon: Y15, FY1/ Y35, Y38

Frame Border: T7, T9, BV08, FV2, FYG2

Happy Stamping!

Thankful Friends

Howdy - MichelleO here and today for High Hopes Stamps this week a Warm and Fuzzy one! Or Warm and Feathered? This is Thankful Friends - Such a sweet Thanksgiving image! 

I colored with my Copics and then shaded with Pencils. A very warm feeling color palette right? I cut out with a round Spellbinders Nestie and then found some older paper from K&Co. Juliane collection. I cut out, layered and then sewed together with straight and zig zag stitches. I matted the image with a larger circle with the same stripe pattern paper. I love that the paper has a clear glaze to it. Shines! It needed just a bit more, so I cut out four corner embellishments and then added some Nuvo decor pearl pen to the buckles and dots in the corners.

For the sentiment I used the High Hopes Stamps "Happy Thanksgiving"  Love this image just feels so Thankful!

Copic used -

Hope you enjoyed - there are so many wonderful holiday images at High Hopes Stamps! You can get to them all HERE

Sweet And Simple Autumn Card!

Hello Friends, 

Here is my easy handmade Fall card!

 This stamps it's beautiful and so fun to colored. I have to say I am totally in Love with this image and the sentiment I stamped on the inside of my card too.

Today I'm using "Funny Farm"  and "Too Many To Count" from Highhopesstamps.com

To make this card I started by stamping the image and colored with alcohol markers. I added glossy accent to the cow bell and doodle some lines with a white jelly pen. I want this cute image to be the star of my card, so I skip my usual embellishments.

Image is colored with Copics;

rooster C3 C5 C7 R29 R39 E31 E33 E37
pig E15 E25
sheep C1 C3 R11
cow E31 E33 E37 C3 C5

Here is the inside!

I used the same paper pattern for the inside of my card and add "Too Many To Count" for a sentiment. Thank so much for stopping by. Wishing you all a great Sunday.

Have a BLESS day!

Ready for October!

Today I have two projects for you, one for each of our upcoming October holidays!

First up is Thanksgiving, which for Canada falls in early October. This cutie is Lg. Turkey and he's a blast to color up! He's a fairly large image, so I had some fun figure out how to layer my papers behind him. Luckily, he has a smaller brother, Sm. Turkey, so if this guy is a bit big for your taste, you've got options! The sentiment I've used here is Happy Thanksgiving.

Of course, October wouldn't be complete without all 31 days, so I have for your a Halloween card too. I know my fellow Design Team members have been playing with Angel Bear Witch this month, so you know that she's a cutie! We just can't resist her! Angel Bear Witch has been paired on my card with Happy Halloween Script.

Check out our daily inspiration here on the High Hopes blog. We've got great ideas to kick start all your wonderful projects! You can also find us on Facebook, or follow us on Twitter, Instagram or Pinterest.

Have a perfectly lovely Sunday and we'll see you again next week with more great inspiration from the talented team at High Hopes Stamps.

BOO..........

Hi HH Fans;

For this month the DT Divas are sharing Fall and Halloween cards.  For today's card, I have used the cute Batty Boo along with the Zig Zag Frame from High Hopes Stamps.   Now, here is the thing -- my cards are 95% of the time CAS.  Since  I went a little outside of my comfort zone, I had a bit of a challenge.

After stamping both images on Copic XPress It Blending Cardstock, I coloured them with Copic Markers.   Batty Boo wasn't too difficult to fuzzy cut, now the Zig Zag Frame was another whole story.  Not only the outside border was cut, but also the inside area.  I was holding my breath hoping the scissors didn't slip and cut into the main frame -- this is where I'm thinking a ScanNCut might have been helpful, lol!  Once the frame was cut to my satisfaction, I trimmed a piece of the Bewitched Design Paper from Echo Park to fit the back of the frame.  It is hard to see but there are some clouds and stars on the design papers.
