# School Is Cool

Next week the kids will be going back to school. As you can imagine both the parents and the kids have mixed feelings about this. 
My neighbour's 4 year old will be starting junior kindergarten. She is excited and nervous all at the same time - understandable right?!  

My card today features Mary J Teacher Angel from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. The card colours are not traditional school colours but I wanted to try something different.......and I didn't have school themed paper in my paper stash - gasp! so I had to step outside the box and challenge myself to find a way to use what I did have. 

I coloured sweet Mary J with alcohol markers and fussy cut her. I chose my lined background paper - appropriate for school right?! and used the school background stamp to create my patterned paper. A letter edge die helped on the edge of one piece to keep my school theme. All the edges are inked with matching ink. Next I designed and printed my sentiment on my computer and cut it out with a fishtail banner die. It is hard to see in the photo but I added some clear sparkle pen to her wings. Some simple twine and matching gumdrops finish off my card.

Little Pumpkin

The sky is blue today which is quite the change for us in British Columbia, as most days the sky is grey or orange from all of the forest fire smoke that surrounds us.  So to celebrate I have created this cute card featuring one of my favorite fall stamps from High Hopes Rubber Stamps.

The image is entitled "Pumpkin Patch" (S152), and I have stamped it on Copic Xpress It cardstock with Memento ink, and then colored it with Copics.  The card front is paper from my stash and the sentiment is from a CC Designs sentiment set.

I hope you are enjoying the last week of summer wherever you are, and please check out the design team posts as the ladies are showcasing some beautiful projects.

Happy Halloween!

Hello My Friends!

It's Tuesday so that means it's my turn to post over on the High Hopes and One Crazy Stamper Blogs! The theme this month is Fall/ Halloween, so I've chosen the oh so adorable "Witchy Poo with Kitty Frame" to make my card with.

I started by first making my background for my card base. I just got the YNS "Funky Line Panel Die" and thought it would be perfect for "Witchy Poo". I pulled out my stash of older Doodlebug Halloween paper and added strips for a fun background. Then I coloured my image to match my paper choices. A few spider webs complete with cute green spiders and a bow were my embellishments this time. I added Yellow Stickles to the moon and stars. The sentiment is also from HH and is called "Simple Halloween".

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E11, E21, R20

Hair: YR07, YR09

Blacks: N5, N7, N9

Outfit: YG21, YG23, YG25/ V01, V04, V05, V06, V09

Frame: E43, E47

Background: Y00, Y02

Happy Stamping!

Apple Friends

It is always nice to receive a surprise gift from a friend isn't it? I don't always get the chance to do this but sometimes my friends do something so nice and  unexpected that it is nice to give them a card and gift to thank them. 

This stamp has more of a spring feel to it but I wanted to challenge myself to make it into a fall feel card. I am also hoping to inspire you to find different ways to use the stamps in your stash. Changing the colours and paper can take a versatile stamp like this one and make it easy to use for any occasion or season. 

After colouring my stamp with alcohol markers, I cut it out with a stitched rectangle die. I added silver Wink of Stella to her earrings for a little bit of bling. The sentiment was stamped and mounted on matching cardstock. Some twine and enamel dots finish off my card. 

Card Recipe 

Stamp: Apple - High Hopes Rubber Stamps

Sentiment: Friends Are For - High Hopes Rubber Stamps

Patterned Paper: I Love Family - Echo Park

Tuxedo Black Memento ink, Misti, white gel pen, Silver Wink of Stella, stitched rectangle die - YNS, enamel dots - Whimsy Stamps, twine - American Crafts

Sharing a little bit of magical fun today, with my card for this months theme of Fall or Halloween.  This adorable image is Little Wizard that I colored with Copics, then fussy cut and adhered to the card front.  The card front was made with an older Martha Stewart punch and layers of paper.  I just love this little wizard and his owl!!

Hello OCS Fans!

If you are in need of a little Fall inspiration, head on over to the OCS and HH Blogs. The Design Teams have been showcasing Fall/Halloween images all month!

I used a Circle Quilt die and cut a few papers with it from the Lawn Fawn Sweater Weather 6x6 collection. I fussy cut my image and popped it up with foam tape for some added dimension. The "Happy Fall Y'all" sentiment just sums up my love of Fall.

Fall Fox Friends Photo Shoot

I think fall is the perfect time for family photos. I love the natural tones of fall colours and I have seen a lot of family photo shoots done among the changing and falling leaves.

My card today features the "Fox Friends" stamp from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. This stamp reminds me of some of the family pictures we had taken when I was younger. I have two brothers and sitting still for a family photo wasn't something that happened often! To me it looks like Momma is trying to get the little ones to sit still for the family photo. At least they are smiling!

I coloured this cute family with alcohol markers and fussy cut them. Next I coloured my tree element and added some punched leaves to make my tree. I added a wavy stitched edge to the patterned paper and inked the edges of the cardstock. The sentiment is part of a larger saying so I masked off the word I wanted and stamped it directly on to my cardstock. The sky is coloured loosley with a chalk pencil and then I used a piece of paper towel to blend it all together. A few extra falling leaves finish off my card. 

Card Recipe 

Stamp: Fox Friends, Tree Element - High Hopes Rubber Stamps

Sentiment: You Make Me Smile - High Hopes Rubber Stamps

Patterned Paper: Wood and Notebook Basics - Simple Stories

Tuxedo Black Memento ink, Misti, Generals chalk pencils, leaf punch - Recollections, stitched border die - Whimsy Stamps, dotted rectangle die - Sizzix, umber ink - Versa Mark

Fall is in the Air

I'm back finally although this will be a short post as I still don't have internet - moving in the mountains is a test of patience as today is the fourth appointment with Shaw to get internet and cable working.  Last week at the third appointment we got phones at least!!

So for my card for today's post for One Crazy Stamper I have chosen the adorable image from High Hope's Rubber Stamps called Are We There Yet S087 and paired it with a sentiment from Sentiment Set #1.

Card Recipe - E07, E08, E09, E30, E31, E34, E35, E37, E39, E49, B34, B37, B39, C2, C5, C7, C10, C3, RV34

I hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful summer weather, and please check out the other design team members wonderful projects at One Crazy Stamper.

Good Times!

Hello HH & OCS Fans!
This month it's all about Fall/Halloween for the Design Teams over at High Hopes and One Crazy Stamper. I just thought the "We're All Ears" and "Cawnie and Cawrls Lunch" were so cute that I had to ink them up!

Originally I wanted to have the corn cob as the card base but I didn't size it right with my Silhouette machine and cut a smaller version. So what's a girl to do?...... Mount it on the card front and add patterned paper LOL. I actually think it turned out better than the vision in my head! I used up some scraps from my patterned paper stash, fussy cut the images and mounted them on foam tape for some dimension. I also inked the edges of the corn cob with Vintage Photo to help it stand out as well.

Since these cute blackbirds are all eating, I thought the sentiment "Good Times" was perfect for these friends sharing their lunch LOL.

Copics Used:

C5, C7, C9

YR21, YR24, YR27

Y17, Y23

YG93, YG95, YG97

Happy Stamping!

Supplies:
