Dream -- High Hopes Stamps


TGIF!  I've been dreaming about the weekend, a few days off work, sleeping in and crafting!  Let's get this party started!!

A little creation using ...

I also used Wink of Stella clear that I picked up at One Crazy Stamper. It's hard to see in the photo but I added a little sparkle to the unicorn :)

The background was airbrushed using Copic markers and a stencil for a mystical feel to the card along with some gems, silver Stickles and stitches. 

I fell in love with this Unicorn at first sight!! :)



Thanks for peeking, here;s the markers used....

Player Photo Day

Happy Thursday OCS Fans! It is the last Thursday in May already but there is still time for you to play along in this month's challenge! 

My inspiration post for today is made with "Dribble Master" from the Spring Collection 2016 from High Hopes. Today we find our dribble master getting her player photo taken and she's the MVP for the team this year! I will add the sentiment inside when I have an occasion to use my card.



Close Up


I started by cutting the matching svg file for the stamp with my Cricut, stamped it using my Misti and coloured her with SN alcohol markers. A film strip and polaroid die cut were added to from my background. The patterned paper is from the 6x6 Life Documented pad from Simple Stories. I added some blue brackets from a Quickutz label and the MVP sticker is from Paper House. The edges are inked with Studio G ink. I added some sparkle with the Give Thanks for Sparkle gumdrops from Your Next Stamp.

Basketball Love -- High Hopes Stamps

Happy Friday!!I'm back again and excited to get this weekend started :)
Just wanted to share my card using High Hopes Slam Dunk Stamp found here!
 I decided to make a two panel card design and tried to tie the two parts together with sewing stitches!
The heart is a leather die cut from my hubby's old work boot  and this little cutie was coloured with Copics!
The design is more  simple and masculine (so ... no frills here!) The pattern paper is actually a basketball print which really came in handy for this card!

Here's the Copics I used!

Wishing you an awesome long weekend!
Hope you have time to get crafty!

My Sunshine

Happy Thursday OCS Fans! I hope you're all having a great week!

I don't know about you, but every once and awhile a stamp reminds you of a friend, situation or a fun time in your life. 

That happened for me this week when I used the "Besties" stamp. One of my dear childhood friends has an orange striped cat she has had for 16 years. Her name is Sunshine and she rules the roost over the dog! 


Close Up


I have to be honest, I didn't want to try colouring the stripes on the cat, but I dis succeed with leaving her white belly and paw tips. The card in my head was working out fine until my favourite outlining marker ran out of ink a 1/4 of the way through outlining the stamp - grrrr!!! I ended up fussy cutting the stamp when I hadn't intended too!

After colouring and fussy cutting my image, I cut out a doily from YNS for the sun. All the edges of the patterned paper from Basic Grey and Forever In Time are inked with pumpkin pie ink from Stampin' Up. American Crafts Twine, a flower from Prima and some sparkly gumdrops finish off my card. 

Card Recipe
Stamps: Besties (TT028), My Sunshine (HH017) High Hopes Rubber Stamps
Dies: Fishtail Banner - Your Next Stamp, Doily Trio Two Die Set - YNS
Magical Pastel Sparkly gumdrops - YNS, Flower - Prima

Happy 50th Birthday!

It's Wednesday!
Today I'm sharing a card I made using the "Sweetheart Owls"! We were invited to a joint 50th Birthday party for a couple on the weekend and I thought this was the perfect set to use for their card!
I love this line of Owls from the High Hopes Spring 2016 New Release. They have matching accessories that you can add to the images. The "Birthday Hat", "Small Bow" and "Celebration Balloons" made this card perfect for the couple's 50th celebration! I also used the sentiment called "Another Year Wiser" and the matching SVG file on the front. I love the added "50" I stamped on each balloon, it makes it so much more personal!
I used the "Fancy Script Happy Birthday" and re-stamped the "Celebration Balloons" in Cantaloupe Memento ink.
Copics Used:
Owls: E51, E51, E53, E55, R02, YR04
Feet: Y35, Y38
Reds: R24, r27, R29
Yellows: Y32, Y35, Y38
Blue: BG70, BG72, BG75


You still have time to enter into our May Challenge called "Anything Goes" over on the blog! 
Happy Stamping!
