Pink Christmas

 Hello and happy last Saturday of the year! I've created a 

pink Christmas CAS (clean and simple) card using ...

High Hopes Snow doted tree found here!

High Hopes Love and Laughter found here!

 I decided to create a clean design using lots of white space along with pink and gold 

details too. 

The  trees are coloured using a fine felt pen, gold stickles and glossy accents.  

I added the sentiment that was stamped in a raspberry distress ink and pop dotted 

for extra dimension. 

There is still time to join our monthly challenge. This month is "Winter Joy" You will have the chance to win 2 Free  High Hopes Stamp.  

Warm Winter Wishes

Besides the year being almost over, it has been really really cold these last few days and will be for the next little while.

For my final post of the year, I am using the adorable Heart Framed Waving Snowy -- he is waving good bye to this year and hello to 2018.

Supplies used:

• Stamps:  Heart Framed Waving Snowy, Warm Winter Wishes (High Hopes Stamps)

Happy New Year

Happy New Year High Hopes and One Crazy Stamper fans! I can't believe this year is coming to a close in just a few days! 
My final post for this year features "Party Penguin" from the Winter Joy release. 

How fun is this little guy going to his New Year's party with his balloons and favourite snack!! He would be perfect for a winter birthday card too! 

The card layout I chose for this stamp is a little more simple then I usually do - it was soo fun to do a more CAS style card! 

This cutie is coloured with alcohol markers, hand fussy cut leaving a bit of a white edge and popped him up with pop dots. The balloons and candy have clear sparkle marker on them and are very sparkly! Once I was done with my image, I cut my patterned paper pieces to size and stamped my sentiment. I stamped some fun party confetti on my background paper and added a few sequins for some extra sparkle.

A Happy Penguin card

Hello everyone!  I am sliding a guest post in just before Christmas with a card featuring my two favourite High Hopes stamps!  I made four of these up this afternoon, and have pieces cut and ready to assemble four more.  Here is Happy Penguin #PP002 and that funky little tree Simple Winter Tree #RR021 :

 I used Copic markers to colour the penguin and the tree on the right, the others were paper pieced.  I used pop dots to raise the penguin up a little and added some snowflake die cuts.

 A few weeks ago, I made a tag that I just adored, and it was my inspiration for making up the cards.  Since my cards have all been sent out this year, these are the first of my 2018 stash!  Have a very Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas shaker card

Only a few more sleeps until the big day!!!!

 Today's creation is made with..

Penguin Party found here!

Merry Christmas found here!

 A little shaker card was created using a confetti die and beads. Christmas plaid ribbon, a large button, frame and sentiment banner were added to the design.

There is still time to join our monthly challenge. This month is "Winter Joy" You will have the chance to win 2 Free  High Hopes Stamp.

Holiday Cheer All Year

It is only 4 days until Christmas but I had to make one last Christmas card to share with you.
I made this card with all of you in mind, our One Crazy Stamper fans, my fellow design team members and blog followers.

My wish for all of you is health, happiness and holiday cheer to last all year. I'm looking forward to another year of fun and sharing cards and projects. Merry Christmas to you!

I coloured my card with alcohol markers and hand fussy cut it. I love some bling and glitter on my Christmas cards so I added some glittery snow and Nuvo glitter drops to the "yard", house and sky. I cut out a fun frame totally by accident to be honest <wink> but that is a story for another day and added it behind my image. The sentiment was stamped and cut out using a fish tail banner die. Some matching ribbon and my favourite - gumdrops - finish off my card.
