Fast Eddie on the prowl......

Welcome back HH fans!

Being that it is Easter and over the next few days, there will be plenty of Easter Egg hunts going on, I used this fun image from High Hopes Stamps called Fast Eddie.  He is definitely on the run for those eggs. This is a fairly clean and simple card.  Fast Eddie was coloured with Copic Markers, then cut out using the Spellbinders Standard Circle Die.  I used the Crystal Clear Spectrum Noir Sparkle Glitter Pen, to add some glitter to the basket.

As  there is a banner of wording on the bottom part of the card, I added the Happy Easter sentiment to the inside of the card.

Love Bandit

Happy Sunday!!

I have this stamp for ages, but it sat in my stash uninked also for ages... 

Time to give The Love Bandit a place on a card ;)

The grey-ish paper is from a package (it was filling to keep the items from flying through the box, hahaha). I added some black splatters on the paper and also some black rings on the card, just liked to play around a bit.. ( Studio Light stamps)

The sentiment is from my new sticker machine (whoohooooo), it comes with several fonts and I picked the typewriter font for this card. I can also adjust the size of the text.

Copics used:

You can find the Love Bandit on the High Hopes Rubber Stamps website.

Happy Easter...

It is hard to believe that Easter is just around the corner and will be here before we know it! For us, Easter weekend is the last weekend of this month (March) - Yikes!!! 
This has made me put my Easter card making in to overdrive! Thankfully, High Hopes Rubber Stamps has an amazing assortment of Easter stamps available!

This card is made using Sm. Easter Bunny, "Sm." because this cutie is also available in a larger size - either way, perfect for Easter don't you think?

 I actually coloured this stamp at a crop at One Crazy Stamper. I had taken a very large selection of patterned paper with me, but when I was trying to choose a paper none of them were really working for me. So what is a gal to do? Why, go see what is available and buy new paper or course! Love the colours in this 6x6 pad from Echo Park!( the plaid is from this pad)

Finally after choosing my paper, I set about colouring this cutie with alcohol makers and fussy cutting it leaving a thin white edge to help it stand out. I cut a stitched tag out of some matching patterned paper and added a fun scallop border and a bow. After stamping my sentiment I added it to my card with matching patterned paper, more scallops and added some fish tail banner tags just for fun - although this is a great way to use up the small pieces of paper left from trimming. Matching enamel dots finish off my card.

Busy Mama

Howdy MichelleO today and again I am having some fun with another great older High Hopes image. The perfect image for Mother's Day or any card to cheer up the "Busy Mama" in your life!

 Yes this is one "Busy Mama" - 3 little hares would make any Mama busy don't you think? I colored with my copics and then found an older pattern paper in my stash from Sassafras. I adore that those scallops at the bottom are a printed part of the paper and cut out! I sewed down the layers with a pink card stock mat and used a cream colored card stock for my card. The sentiment "hare raising" is so perfect with the image!

Copic colors used -

Love this springy image. Can't you think of a Mom in your life that would get a smile from this image? To see all the fun at High Hopes Stamps pop on over to the web site store HERE and have some fun browsing all the fabulous images to play with! 

Thanks so much!

Easter Greetings!

Happy Tuesday!

Easter is around the corner so I pulled out one of my favourite High Hopes Stamps to make this adorable Easter card. My card today uses the "3 Pane Easter" stamp!

I am using paper from the Doodlebug Bunnyville 6x6 collection and a PPP Story Book2 Metal Die to create my card with.  Since I wanted to use this die, I separated the images from the "3 Pane Easter" stamp and then cut them with the die so that they would fit. I used the HH "Easter Greetings" in the largest pane. A cute 6 loop bow finishes everything off. 

On my decorated inside I used the HH sentiment called "Hugs Kisses Easter Wishes".

Copics Used:

Bunny: E51, E53, E55, E57

Chick: Y13, Y15, Y17/ YR04, YR07

Lamb: N1, N2, N4, N5, N7

Cheeks and ears: R00, R01, R20

B000, B00, B02
