Life Without Dogs...

Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog and another installment for One Crazy Stamper! The challenge this month is "My Favorite Things." This week, I am sharing these 2 cuties called "Puppy Pals" - I stamped the image with my Momento Black ink, colored with copic markers then fussy cut them out and popped them up on my inked background. I had a lot of fun using my Distress Oxide inks! This image is another from the newest release, So Much Cuteness, from High Hopes Rubber Stamps:

Tea Cup Thanks

I have had way too much fun playing with the So Much Cuteness release this month! I couldn't let the month go by without playing with the oh so cute Teacup Pup!

I think he is just adorable peeking out of the cup! I have coffee or tea with friends the odd time either at their house or a coffee shop so I thought he would be perfect for a thank you card to give after a nice coffee/tea with a friend. 

After colouring this cutie with alcohol markers I hand fussy cut him out. I added some polka dots to the tea cup with a white gel pen just for fun. I cut my piece of background cardstock and after roughly placing where I wanted my stamp to go, I added my word die and cut it out. 
Some sparkly sequins finish off my card. This is more of a simple layout then I usually do so I was a little out of my comfort zone but I am happy with how it turned out.

Happy Days -- High Hopes Stamps!

Hi there and happy Friday!

This little design is made with High Hopes...

Happy as 2 pigs found here!

and

Happy Pigs found here!

This one is an odd shaped card. A zigzag design almost like a mini album style!

My Wedding Anniversary is coming up in a few weeks and I will be giving this card to hubby. I seriously think this country couple is us!  I plan on adding some photos
of our backyard critters we often have visiting and some we've spotted around town. Everything from birds, ducks, deer and even a
neighbourhood beaver that hangs out at the conversation park down the street!

The image is coloured with copic markers, fussy cut with
added pop dots for dimension.  I added extra fencing, a grassy hill, sun and flowers. The pattern paper
is a wood grain design which I think helped with the country theme.

Thanks for peeking!

Rise and Shine!!

Hello everyone! Lori here, and welcome back to another installment for One Crazy Stamper! It's hard to believe that August is almost over hey?! The summer months always seem to go by so quickly...I am not gonna lie - I love winter and am looking forward to it coming, however - Fall is one of my favorite seasons...so I will not wish for the white stuff quite yet lol!

The challenge this month is "My Favorite Things." This week, I am sharing this adorable little family of peep-peeps called "Waddles." I stamped the image with my Momento Black ink, colored with copic markers then added the "Rise and Shine" sentiment and cut it out with a border die for added detail. This image is another from the newest release, So Much Cuteness, from High Hopes Rubber Stamps:

Clucker Club

This week's post gives us a peek into the hen house! I have wanted to try making a shadow box style card for awhile now and I thought these chicken stamps were perfect for my first try. 

There seems to be quite the conversation going on in the hen house today don't you think? 

I started my vision by searching for the perfect shadow box style I pictured in my head. I found a tutorial here and after a few failed attempts with some regular printer paper, I made my frame with some wood patterned paper. Next, I measured the inside space of my square and stamped a chicken wire background to fit. The chickens were added to some red cardstock and popped up with 3D foam dots. Raffia pieces were perfect for some "straw" in my mind so I cut some pieces and "roughly" added them. I think a few feathers were the perfect touch - you know someone is clucking about something that will upset someone! 
Some gingham ribbon and matching sentiments finish off my card. This is a fun card style to make and I definitely see more in my future! 

Card Recipe 

Stamps: Clucker and Clackers, Clucker Club, Chicken Wire Background 

 - High Hopes Rubber Stamps

Sentiment: Chick Gossip, Ruffled - High Hopes Rubber Stamps

Patterned Paper: Snap Basics - Simple Stories 

 Tuxedo Black ink - Memento, Misti,  fishtail banner dies - YNS, Best Glue Ever - ScraPerfect, feathers and raffia - stash, Celebrate It Ribbon, 3D foam pop dots - Forever in Time

Warm The Heart

Today I am happy to introduce you to Friendly Kitty, another cutie from the new release at High Hopes. I used to have a grey striped cat named Smokey. He was a very friendly guy.....especially when I had strawberry banana yogurt. He would sit on the back of the couch as I ate it and bat my hand every time I took a mouthful. He knew he would get to lick the spoon off when I was done. 
This stamp reminds me of his playfulness!

After colouring this cutie with alcohol markers, I hand fussy cut him leaving a thin white edge. I added him to some fun paper from the Echo Park. I added some dots to the flower just for fun. The sentiment is also from High Hopes (link below). A picket fence, some puffy clouds and my favourite - gumdrops - finish off my card.
