Happy Birthday Canada!

Hi High Hope Fans!

This Friday is Canada Day for all us Canadians! When I saw this stamp from High Hopes Stamps called "Canadian Friends" I knew it would make a perfect card to celebrate our country! I think I will use it as part of my centrepiece for our Canada BBQ at the cottage!

I made the card base using a red piece of cardstock and my Silhouette Electronic Cutting machine. I popped up the "Canadian Friends"and the sentiment with foam squares for some added dimension. A handwritten Happy Birthday stamp and a few Maple leaves finished off my card. I also used my Silhouette to cut around my image and sentiment.

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E11, E21, R20

Mountie: R35, R37, R39 / N5, N7, N9 / Y35, Y38 / E53, E55, E57

Beaver: E43, E44, E47, E49

Moose: E55, E57, E59

To all my Canadian friends and followers..... I hope you have a great Canada Day weekend! I will certainly be enjoying the Fireworks, one of my favourite things about this long weekend!

Happy Stamping!

Rainy Day Ducky

Hello High Hopes Fans!!!

 

Happy Saturday Friends!  I sure hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful and warm weather this weekend.  We sure could use a bit of rain though!

For today's post, I am sharing an older yet ever so cute image... 

 Lisa

 

This is Rainy Day Ducky (R142) and Fancy Script Happy Birthday Sentiment (HH019).  This image could be used for a variety of different occasions - for example: a baby, get well soon or Spring themed card.

 

The image was stamped on watercolor cardstock with a Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad using my Misti Stamping Tool.  Tombow markers and water were used to colour the image.  After the image was all coloured and dry, Glossy Accents was applied on the puddle.  This added the extra shine to make it appear like water.

 

For the card base, I chose some SU Lavender Lace cardstock and Imagine Crafts Vertigo-Prism Texture Film.  The designer paper is from Doodlebug - Under the Sea 6x6 Paper Pad.  No foam tape was used on this card to allow the card to remain fairly flat for mailing purposes.  

 

To complete this card, a Happy Birthday sentiment was stamped and purple enamel dots were added for a finishing touch to this simple, yet adorable card.

 

Supplies Used:

Ink - Tombow Markers - 452, 856, N15, N45, N95, 723, 933, 743, 373, 985, 126, 905, 606 and 603.  Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad.
 

Paper - Doodlebug-Under the Sea 6x6 Paper Pad; Imagine Crafts Vertigo-Prism Texture Film; SU Lavender Lace Cardstock; Watercolor Cardstock.
 

Misc - Misti Stamping Tool, Glossy Accents, Queen & Co.-purple enamel dots, Water brush and Glue Dots.

Sew Sweet

Happy Thursday High Hopes fans! It is officially summer - whoo hooo! 

I used "Kathy Quilting Angel" and the Sew Sweet sentiment, both fun, older stamps from High Hopes. I personally am not a quilter, I've tried it and honestly it's not my thing but I have a ton of family who love to quilt. I have also been blessed with a lot of quilts made by my Grandmother and there is a ton of love in every stitch. 

I wanted my card to look like a quilt piece in progress. After colouring my image and cutting it out, I edged it with some matching turquoise ink. I created my background by using some left over pieces of paper and cutting them into 1" squares. It is not noticeable in the photo but the wings have clear Wink of Stella on them for a bit of glitter and Star Dust Stickles was added to the flower centres for a bit of bling. Sparkly gumdrops and a piece of ribbon finish off my card.

Hopeful Ant Tag!!!

Happy Monday,
and Welcome High Hopes Fans!

Carolina here, excited to be sharing this tag and basket, I have put together a few weeks ago for Teacher Appreciation Week! This adorable basket was put together for my youngest daughter teacher. 

I also created this beautiful Shabby Chic Tag to adorn my basket! The stamp I'm using is called "Hopeful Ant" and the sentiment is "For My Teacher" from High Hopes Stamps!

I stamped "Hopeful Ant" onto copic paper and fussy cut it  This cute image was coloured with Alcohol markers. I added glossy accent, green stickles, gold pen to coloured his shoes and a clear gem. The main image was pop with 3D foam tape. To give the shabby look I distressed all edges of the patterned paper with a distress ink and distress tool, then used a tracing wheel around the edges.

The pattern papers I used for this tag are a 8X8 Specialty Cardstock pad from ME&MY BIG IDEAS. 

Copic List: E15 YR07 YR09 YG11 YG13 YG17 YG95 YG97 E15 E25 C1 and 0

Happy Retirement

Happy Thursday High Hopes Fans! I hope you're having a great week! 

My post today features "Butterfly Guy" and the Happy Retirement sentiment, both older stamps from High Hopes. I don't know anyone personally who is retiring any time soon but I felt like these two stamps went together perfectly and it is always good to have some extra cards in your stash. You never know what will come up! 

I started by stamping Butterfly guy with my Misti and colouring with alcohol markers. I edged all of my papers with distress ink and added some sparkle to the butterflies with a clear Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen. The Polka Dot embossing folder from Cuttlebug was perfect to add some texture to my yellow cardstock. Silver brads and some silver magic mesh (to match the net) finish off my card.

Stamps: Butterfly Guy (T078)-  High Hopes Rubber Stamps

Kitty Tag - Only a Cat

Howdy - MichelleO here and I have been digging back into some of my older High Hopes Stamps and loving seeing some old favorites.

This is a cute favorite - "Kitty Tag"

 Such a sweet face on this kitty - I colored with my Copics (colors below) and then added the High Hopes sentiments "Only a Cat" LOVE this sentiment.. it is just so true! Found some papers from DCWV and I sewed with a light blue thread on my machine. I added a ribbon, the ribbon was white with blue dots. I didn't like how white it was... so I used a Copic and colored it! Then three buttons to finish it off.

Copic colors used -

 Hope you enjoyed my card this week  - that little kitty is just too precious!
