Buddy's Gift!

Happy Monday & welcome to today's blog post!

This sweet little bear is called Buddy's Gift Block which I have paired with the Fun Merry Christmas sentiment.  I love the whimsical feel of the sentiment & that it's a little chunky.  So remember yesterday I said I'm not a super fan of traditional Christmas colors...well...here we go with a whole lotta' blue.  I suppose some folks may consider blue to be in the realm of traditional colors but I always think just red & green.

I wanted to add some glitter on the patterned paper so out came the Sookwang tape & my ultra fine glitter.  I put three strips of Sookwang tape down & burnished then well so the glitter wouldn't get underneath the tape.  I pulled off the strip that was going to be blue 1st, once that was complete and cleaned up I pulled off the remaining two strips to do the silver.  I always have to remind myself to burnish the glitter down very well.  It makes it more shiny & prevents it from coming off onto everything & everyone.

Hello HH Fans!

It's the 2nd last day of the "Christmas in July" theme over on the High Hopes and One Crazy Stamper Blogs! Since Christmas is my favourite Holiday, it's been super fun making these cards when the temperatures are hot LOL. This is the rubber stamp "Buddy's Gift Block" from High Hopes. 

This is my 5th card in my "Christmas in July series" and keeping with my theme, I have once again used non traditional colours on my card. I coloured "Buddy" up to match the papers I am using from the Penny Black "Festive & Frosty" 6x6 collection. I always love to add lots of layers to my cards. This one is no different! Buddy is popped up with foam squares as is the ornament paper as well. Added dimension just makes your card pop I think. All the designer and cardstock papers are inked on the edges with Vintage photo Distress Ink. This I feel just adds another layer of dimension. A piece of ribbon, bow, tree gem and Stickles on Buddy's hat finish off my design today.

I am using the High Hopes sentiment called "Dot Warm Winter Wishes" on the decorated card inside.

Copics Used:

Greens: BG11, BG32, BG34

Purples: V15, V19/ V04, V06, V09 (dots on present)

Buddy's Gifts!

Hello HH Fans!

Christmas is fast approaching so I'm still in the Christmas card mode trying to make enough to send to Family & Friends! Today I am using the adorable "Buddy Gift Block" stamp from High Hopes Rubber Stamps!

I coloured up Buddy two different ways but used matching papers. I love the snowflake border and of course both have lots of glitter and shine to them! You can't see it in the picture but the ornaments and bows all have Clear Sparkle Glitter Pen added to them.

Purples: V04, V05, V06, V09/ V15, V10
