To Cheer You

  Confession from a card maker....I'm a hugger. I love giving hugs and receiving hugs from family and friends - I miss them. The pandemic has put a kibosh on that over the last few years so the only hugs I can give are in a card! I love to have cards in my stash to send on a whim or just because. 

For this hug in a card I have used the "Momma's Love" stamp from the "Spring Fever" re-release at High Hopes Rubber Stamps. This Momma looks like she is comforting her little one with a hug so I think it is perfect for a hug in a card don't you?

 After stamping this sweet image on alcohol marker friendly paper I coloured it with Copic markers, cut it out in a rectangle shape and used a corner punch to round the corners and soften the feel of the stamped image. I wanted my card to have a soft feel so I chose some patterned paper from the Flower Market and Spiffy Speckles pads from Lawn Fawn. I chose to keep the design of this A2 size card quite simple so the focus is on the stamp. Some ribbon and enamel dots finish off my card.

Happy Mother's Day

Welcome Everyone;   

Spring is in the air, and with that brings new arrivals.  Whether, they be flowers, baby birds & chicks.  Also, High Hopes Stamps' newest release "Spring Fever" is in full swing.

For today's card, I have used the adorable Momma's Love from this new release and paired it with a Happy Mother's Day stamp.  After stamping and colouring the image with Copic Markers, I cut the main image out with the Eyelet Elegance Rectangle Die.  I also cut two more pieces out using mulberry paper and some design paper and layered them behind the main focal point.

Some lace, flowers, butterfly dies and enamel dots finished off this not my typical CAS style card.

Howdy - 

SPRING!! I love Spring! All the green, the flowers and the baby animals! Today for High Hopes Stamps I am using a perfect Spring Image from the new re-release Spring Fever. This is Momma's Love - so sweet! 

Colored the cute little chicks with my Copics (colors below) and then found papers from Kaisercraft's Secret Garden collection. I layered three of the pattern papers on a white card stock base, after sewing them all together with a straight stitch. My image and the High Hopes Stamps sentiment "Spring to Follow" were cut out and then created a faux mat with a dark pink Copic.  I then happened across a old Fiskar's punch of a bird - seemed it was meant to see it as I love it with the Spring image. I added three Nuvo Decor White Paint Dots. 

Copic colors used -
