Winter Moose Trio

  Now that most of the birthday cards I need are done I can focus on the next big thing...Christmas cards!!!! I also need to make a ton of them so with some cooler weather where I live this weekend, I was inspired to officially start the Christmas season..... in my craft room as least! I am starting off the season with a trio of cards featuring Winter Moose from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. 

How cute is he!!?? 

                                                                                   

I stamped the moose three times on alcohol marker friendly paper, coloured them with Copic markers and hand fussy cut two and cut one with a rectangle die. Next I got out some of my Echo Park paper pads and my stash and cut each piece to fit my card bases. 2 are A2 size and the square card is 5" x 5". I laid out each design and glued everything down. I added clear sparkle pen to the snowflakes and on the blue and card with the circle on it, popped the stamp up with 3D foam dots. Ribbon, enamel and sparkly dots and Star Dust Stickles on the hats and scarves finish off my cards.

Hello Winter

  I have to admit, winter is not my favourite time of year, but it has some absolutely gorgeous days! You know the ones.....when there has been a fresh, wet snow fall that sticks to the trees and the sun is shining and the sky is clear and blue. The sun is glistening off the snow and it looks like little diamonds everywhere, it is literally a winter wonderland. 

These are the winter days I enjoy and I have tried to capture that in my card using "Forest (TSG006)" from the new Woodland Winter release and the adorable "Winter Moose (SDG002". My dog doesn't like the salt on the sidewalks so he often doesn't want to go for a long walk even on the most beautiful days so I often try to sneak a bit of one in on my lunch on a walking trail that goes beside my office. It doesn't happen often, but when it does it is truly beautiful! 

                                                             

After using my Misti to do the stamping, I coloured both of them with Copic markers. I hand fussy cut the moose, and used a white gel pen to add some gently falling snow to the forest. I wanted to keep my card design simple for this one and used some patterned paper from the Sugar Plums pad by Doodlebug. 

I stamped the sentiment and cut it out with a fish tail banner die and added some enamel dots to finish off my card.

Welcome Everyone;

For the next few days, High Hopes Stamps will be having 'SNEAK PEAKS' of our Christmas Cheer Release.  Yes, one stamp to be released per day with the Full Release debuting on Tuesday, September the 7th.  Oh what fun the HH Divas are going to have.

For today's card, I have used the adorable Winter Moose and paired it with the Small Christmas Script.

After stamping the image on XPress It Blending Cardstock and coloured it with Copic Markers, I used a Nested Scappolled Rectangle to cut it out with.  Besides being CAS, this card is an A2 (4 1/4" x 5 1/"), which is smaller than what I usually make. Some Nuvo Glitter Drops were added to the trim on the hat, and Nuvo Glitter Accents added to the ground for snow.  Enamel dots and a flower finished off the card.

• Stamps:  Winter Moose - SDG002 - Sneak Peak Christmas Cheer Release, Small Christmas Script - F051; both from High Hopes Stamps
