Springtime Flowers

Spring is here and it's a new month - the month of flowers and that one special day to celebrate the special lady in your life - your Mom!!!

For today's card I have stamped this adorable "Bunny Blossoms" from High Hopes rubber stamps that you can purchase at One Crazy Stamper.  I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on to Copic Xpress It cardstock, and then colored it with Copics and Prismacolor pencils.  Pearls were added to the flower centers with a Viva Decor Pearl pen in yellow, and three purple pearls finish off the corner of the card front - these were created with Crushed Grape Nuvo Crystal Drops.  The sentiment is from a stamp set from My Favorite Things and the fabric flowers are from my stash.

Gnomes at Night

Welcome to One Crazy Stampers release of the new High Hopes "A Magical Day" images.  Each day for the last week the design team members have been sharing their products using images from the release, and today it's my turn!!

This adorable image is "3 Little Garden Gnomes" that I instantly fell in love with!!  I stamped the image on Copic Xpress It cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and then colored it with Copics and added Prismacolor pencils for added depth and detail.  Each gnome hat received a touch of either Wink of Stella Gold, Sakura white glaze pen or Sakura Clear Star for added sparkle, and the crystal ball has hints of the white gel pen.  The image was then fussy cut and placed on the galaxy background I created with Lucky Clover, Peacock Feathers, Twisted Citron, Picked Raspberry and Black Soot distress inks.  For even more detail on the background I used the Sakura Glaze pen to add dots to represent stars!  The sentiment is also from the new release and is available here.

Cowy Wishes

February has arrived with snow, snow, and more snow or at least it seems to be that way.  Maybe it's because this is the first winter spent in the Kooteney's of British Columbia, and I don't remember this much snow in Alberta ever!!  Lots of snow means lots of crafting time and it's the first day of a new month, so it's time to showcase a card designed for One Crazy Stamper.  This month the design team will be showcasing some of the older High Hopes rubber stamps that we love!

My card this month features the adorable "American Cowthic" available to purchase here.  I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Copic Xpress It cardstock, and then colored the image with Copics.  I added depth and highlights with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol, then masked the image so that I could use distress inks to make the background.  The wood frame and sign for the sentiment were created with a C.C. Designs die, which I added streaks of brown Copic marker to make the wood more life like.  The sentiment was computer generated.  All of the paper edges except for the wood elements were distressed with the Prima Comfort Distress Tool.

Summertime and the Living is Easy!

It's been a beautiful summer this year - lots of sunshine mixed with the right amount of rain, which means the grass is growing, and growing, and growing.  Everyone can probably relate to this image from High Hopes Rubber stamps called Bob Loves Grass.

 

For One Crazy Stampers inspiration month, I have colored the image with my trusty Copic sketch markers then matted and mounted it with paper from My Mind's Eye.  The sentiment was included with the paper pad, and matched the feeling of the image perfectly.

Udderly Adorable

Today's the day - the latest releases from High Hopes Stamps are available today at One Crazy Stamper, and my card features one of the newest images entitled Takin' a Break.

 

I stamped the image directly on kraft cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then colored it with Copics ( T5, T7, T10, E35, R20) and a white Prismacolor pencil.  The sentiment was hand printed as well as the grass, flowers and stitched border.

My card today features the adorable High Hopes image Downhill Penguin that I have colored with Copics, then mounted on a circular card front with Carta Bella dp and a Memory Box snowflake die.  The sentiment is part of an older Flourishes set, and the snowflakes are from my stash - each snowflake has twine from Doodlebug tied in the center.

Let It Snow Greetings

Hard to believe but there are only 20 days left before Christmas arrives, and I don't know about you but I am not even close to being prepared.  Somewhere I need to find more time in the days!  I did finally get the chance to color and today's card is the final result.

 

My card features another adorable image from High Hopes stamps entitled Hope For Peace Snowy that I have colored with Copics.  Lately I have been seeing cards on Pinterest and blogs that show the image with white lines, so after I finished coloring the image, I took a Sakura white glaze pen and traced over all of the black lines - the finished result really gives a different look to the image.  The image was fussy cut, then adhered to the card front along with the sentiment that is a beautiful Tattered Lace die.  Liquid applique adds detail to the snow around the snowman base, and glitter added to the snowflakes of the sentiment add another element.  Dp is from Simple Stories.
