Hang in there!

Hello High Hopes Fans!

I am back to day with a bright, cheery card of encouragement.
This fun High Hopes image is one of my favorite ones to use to send to a pal who needs some encouragement.




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

The paper is by Doodlebug Designs.
The ribbon is from Hobby Lobby.


The blue hearts are actually buttons that I have had in my stash for a while.
I used Spellbinder Classic Circle and Classic Scallop circle dies.

Oh!  And the sentiment?


That's my share for today!
I hope you liked it and maybe got a little stamping inspiration.

Thanks for stopping by!

Bubble Bath Shower

Welcome back! My post today is sharing an older High Hopes stamp called "Bubble Bath Bradley". When I saw this stamp I immediately thought baby card! 
Since it is a bubble bath theme, I decided I would make a card for my stash for a baby shower. The inside will be filled in once I have a shower to go to - no there aren't any in my near future that I know of - this cutie is for my stash. 






I coloured the main stamp with alcohol markers but for the bubbles and water I added some glitter pen. Man glitter pens are hard to get a good photo of!!! I cut everything out with a classic circle die and my Fiskars circle cutter. I formed my card base and added paper from the Pebbles Lullaby collection. Twine, a flower from my stash, sentiment and gumdrops finish off my card.

Stamp: Bubble Bath Bradley - High Hopes Rubber Stamps
Sentiment: It's A Baby Shower - High Hopes Rubber Stamps

Lg. Puff Kitty - Thank You!

Howdy - MichelleO here again today and I am having so much fun playing with some older favorite High Hopes Stamps! This is Lg. Puff Kitty... so adorable! 



Just love this little kitty! I colored with my Copics,  colors below,  and then found some papers from My Minds Eye with some beige card stock. Love this paper it has all kinds of glitter on it. I used the sentiment "Lg. Script Thank You!" then 3 vintage buttons to finish it off. Almost made me twitch to not sew on this card... but oh my... I ran out of thread!! I know I have a new one here somewhere... I guess it is time to clean off the desk... and the shelves... sigh. I would rather color and craft!

Here are the Copic colors -


I adore my High Hopes Stamps! And playing with old favorites are such a joy! What is your favorite High Hopes Stamps? Pull them out and have some fun! 

Thanks so much -

Sorry I Missed It!

Hi HH Fans!
I'm just popping in to share another adorable image from High Hopes Stamps! This is "Beary Sweet Sign"! Isn't he just the sweetest bear ever!!!! The stamp comes blank which is awesome as you can add a sentiment for any occasion. How versatile and what great value! I love when you can use a stamp for multiple reasons!
No matter how organized I am, I always seem to miss someone's Birthday along the way! I made this card to have on hand for such an occasion! I'm using papers from my stash this time (a New Year's Resolution LOL). A simple layout and design but cute none the less! The sentiment is from HH called "Sorry I Missed It".
On the inside I used the High Hopes sentiment "Belated Birthday".
Copics Used:
E31, E33, E35, E41, E42, E43
RV04, RV09
G03, G05, G07

Happy Stamping!

Blue Baby Card!

Happy New Years
 High Hopes  Friends!

I am excited to be sharing my first card of 2018 today and remind you High Hopes have a brand new challenge called "Anything Goes" BUT with a twist, add blue or purple and ribbon!

I stamp "Baby Sittin'  with Archival ink and used Gansai Tambi watercolors, after my image was all dried I add some Nuvo crystal drops on top of  Mrs.stork. Cut it with a Stitched Heart dies from MFT and pop it with 3D foam tape. For embellishments I used Cuttlebug "Swiss Dots" White satin ribbon, LightBlue button and some tiny white pearls. 

Here is the inside!
To finish my baby card I stamped inside with a sentiment from HHS called "New Addition". Used white cardstock and the second biggest Stitched Rectangle dies. That's all for today hope you have enjoyed today's post.
