Goliath Christmas Mouse

Happy Friday High Hopes Fans!  

Just 9 more days left till Christmas and if you still have some last minute cards to make this is a quick cute one that you can make with any Sizzix Flip it Die.

I used one of High Hopes older images, Goliath Christmas Mouse.

I colored the image with Prisma Colored Pencils (warm grey, cardinal red, yellow, black)

The patterned paper is from The Paper Studio.

I tied green grossgrain ribbon (Celebrate it) around the card and then glued bells on.

The inside sentiment is Magic of Christmas.

I hope you are enjoying the holiday season and aren't too stressed out with all the "stuff"!

Take some time to stamp and have fun...you'll be glad you did!

Skiing Santa

Hello High Hopes Fans!

I have my last card in this months Christmas in July series.

I was running a little short on time last night so I decided to make a flip card.

They are so quick and easy to make with a Sizzix Flip it Die!

For the image I used Skiing Santa.

Here it is when you flip it open.

The sentiment is Bold Seasons Greetings.

The holly stickers are Jollee.

The patterned paper is from a 6"pad by The Paper Studio from Hobby Lobby.

Here is a close up look.

I colored the image with colored pencils and blended with blending stumps and gamsol.

Flippin' for my Teacher

Hello High Hopes Fans!

Kristine here with a super fun card for your favorite teacher!
My favorite teacher is my daughter who teaches 4th grade in Oregon.
It's a very tough profession and I am very proud of her for giving it her all!

So this card was inspired by her.
This adorable image is Writing Mouse from High Hopes Stamps.

I used the Sizzix Rectangle Flip It card die for the card base.

I colored the image with my Tombow USA recycled colored pencils.

I used the "out of the box" technique to cut around the top of the pencil so that it stuck out of the image box.

The sentiment that I used for this card is a High Hopes image but I can't find it in the store right now.

When I do I promise that I will come back to update this post.

In the meanwhile, I think you could use any of these sentiments....Thank you so much,  A is for Apple,  or To teach is to touch.

The polka dot paper is Recollections paper from Michael's.
The school themed paper is The Paper Studio from Hobby Lobby.
The twine is May Arts and the little apple is a brad from Eyeletoutlet.com

It's time for the High Hopes February Challenge.

Charming Elmer

Today I have a fun High Hopes Birthday Card to share with you!

For the card base I used the Sizzix Charming Flipits Card die.

The image is Elmer Elephant.

The sentiment is Can't Believe.

I just love how easy the  Sizzix Charming Flipits Card die makes it to make a super cool card.

This is how it looks when it flips open.

The patterned paper is old paper from my stash but you can find fun animal print paper in most of the paper lines out th
