Birthday Belle

Howdy - MichelleO here and this week I am sharing a card I made for a BFF from High School for her Birthday last week.


The High Hopes Image is "Birthday Belle" isn't she funny? Love all those candles! I colored with my Copics (colors below) She is too funny. I added yellow Ranger Stickles to the candles. And then Dimensional Glaze to the balloons.

Close up -


The papers are from Me and My Big Ideas Fashion District collection. I sewed down the layers and added a Martha Stewart border punch. The  sentiment is also a great one from High Hopes "Growing Old is mandatory" is perfect.

Copic colors used -


Fun card that I hope she enjoyed. Made me giggle while making it for her.

Hope you have a wonderful day -
MichelleO

Busy Mama Bunny!

Happy Tuesday!
Today I am sharing with you another Easter card I made! I used the sweet image from High Hopes Stamps called "Busy Mama". I fell in love with this image when I saw the baby bunnies peeking out from Mama's dress!
I'm using paper from the Echo Park Spring Collection. I used 12x12 paper on the card but for Mama's paper pieced dress I used the matching paper from the EP Spring 6x6 pad. I also added 2 heart doilies behind the rectangles for another layer. Some enamel dots, ribbon and a bit of Stickles on the hair bows finished off my card!
I used the High Hopes "Easter Greetings" on the inside for my sentiment.
Copics Used:
Bunnies: C00, C0, C01, C02, R01
Bows: R81, R83, R85
Black gel pen, Crystal Stickles

Hello everyone,
and welcome High Hopes Fans!

For today, I have created this Vintage Birthday Card using,
this hilarious stamp called "Betty Bubbles" and  the sentiment is "Humor Me...I'm Old!!
from High Hopes Stamps.


Stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo black and coloured with Copic markers.
Stamp another image on vellum with VersaMark and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
After the second image was cool down I fussy cut just the bubbles. I used S.U adhesive to glue the bubbles to the main image.

This card is a A2 size. For Paper I used "Something Blue" from Prima, cardstock is "Crumb Cake".
I distress the edges with Ranger distress tool, and used "Tea Dye, Antique Linen, and walnut Stain" on the edges. Add a little ink through a Layering Stencil using "Antique Linen" Ink on an ink
Blending Tool.

Party Girl Florence

Hello High Hopes Fans!!!
 
Happy Saturday! Here's a card that should make you chuckle some...What a fabulous and fun image to create a birthday card with! 
 Lisa 
 
This is Party Girl Florence (S098) and Lg. Fancy Happy Birthday (H037) Sentiment. 
 
I started by colouring the image with Tombow Markers and water. After the image was all coloured and dry, I applied some Zig-Wink of Stella Clear Glitter pen on the party hat, noise maker and necklace for a touch of sparkle.  Unfortunately, it is a bit difficult to see in this picture.  
 
The pattern paper is from Carta Bella-It's A Celebration 6x6 Paper Pad, along with some SU Not Quite Navy and White cardstock.  The image was cut down to an appropriate size, then a layered piece of cardstock was offset.  The sentiment was stamped with a versamark ink pad then heat embossed using black embossing powder.  Both the image and sentiment was adhered to the card base using foam tape to add some dimension.  To complete this card, a couple of lines of dots were added above and below the sentiment with Mint Green Liquid Pearls.  Also, a couple of YNS Gumdrops that were also Mint Green were included in the top left corner of the image.  I am not sure why the gumdrops appear to be off colour in this picture, but in real life they do match quite nicely.  This was such a fun card to make!  

Supplies Used:
Ink - Tombow Markers - 055, 723, 761, 528, 243 and N95.  Versamark Ink Pad and Black Embossing Powder.
 
Paper - Carta Bella-It's A Celebration 6x6 Paper Pad; SU Not Quite Navy and White Cardstock.
 
Misc - Liquid Pearls - Mint Green, YNS Gumdrops-Mint Green, Zig-Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen, Water Brush, Foam Tape and Glue Dots.
 
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello High Hopes Fans!!!
 
I have been wanting to use these stamps for quite some time now, and finally here it is!  Isn't this buzzard just the sweetest one ever?!?!?!

A view with the card standing up...
 
This is Birthday Buzzard (T061), along with part of the sentiment called - Swinging Birthday (H191) and Ya Old Buzzard Sentiment (F350).  Such a super fun image to colour!
