Gopher Greetings to You

Who doesn't love an adorable little gopher wishing you a very Sparkly Christmas!!!  I just had to color up this cutie from High Hopes Rubber Stamps newest release Woodsy Christmas.

This is Christmas Gofer that I colored with Copic markers.  After fussy cutting the image I added sparkle with touches of a silver glitter pen, white highlights with a Sakura glaze pen, 3D berries made with white and red pearl pens, snow with Liquid Embossing, some fun flock on the hat, and then to finish off the whole image I sprayed it with Shimmer Spritz (sure wish the glitter showed on this photo). 

The sentiment is also from High Hopes Rubber stamps and is available here.  A red snowflake cut using an older Memory Box die from my stash finishes off the card front.

It's a Groovy Kind of Day

Today's card is another cute image from the latest release at High Hopes Rubber Stamps which One Crazy Stamper carries.  This is "Daisy" available here to purchase.

The image was stamped on to Copic Xpress It Cardstock with My Favorite Things Black Licorice hybrid ink, and then colored with Copics.  After fussy cutting the image I popped it up on the card front which was created from designer paper from Bo Bunny and Die Cuts With a View.  The daisy chain is an older Memory Box die, and the sentiment was computer generated.

It's a Black and White Kind of Day

It's been one of those weeks and so for today's card I decided to challenge myself to an all black and white card - something I try to do at least once a year. I think this one turned out great!!

This sweet image is "Wizarding Gnome" from the A Magical Day release at High Hopes stamps.  I stamped the image on Copic Xpress It cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and then colored it with Copics and Prismacolor pencils.  The stars and glitter were colored with a Sakura Clear glitter pen and then I added Wink of Stella silver to the larger stars.  The star flourish is an oldie from Memory Box and the frame is an unknown brand.  The sentiment is from the same release and is available here.

It's a Super Kind of Day!

I am working on perfecting the galaxy background and think I finally have it mastered!!  This super cute image is "You're Super" from My Favorite Things.

I stamped the image on Copic Xpress It cardstock with MFT's hybrid Black Licorice ink, and then colored it with Copics and Prismacolor pencils.  After fussy cutting the image and the yellow burst I placed them on to the background that I created with distress inks and an older Memory Box die.

Hang On Christmas is Coming

Wow time really flies when you are babysitting the grand kids!!   This is another older card I designed a couple of years ago!  The image "Floating By" is from Whipper Snapper Stamps and is available here to purchase.  I colored the image with Copics then fussy cut it before adhering to the card front made from Bo Bunny paper.  The snowflake die is from Memory Box.

Happy Holidays Penguin

Here's another card I colored up last year and just never had the time to post.  This is an adorable image from Whipper Snapper stamps called "Piccolo Penguin" that you can purchase here.  I colored the image with Copic markers and add A Spoonful of Snow from Stampendous for the glittery snow effect.  The sentiment die is from Impressions Obsessions and the candy cane border die is a Memory box item.

Tie the Knot

Wow , it's been a long time since I posted anything, but the time has come to become more active on this blog.  I have been a busy lady the past two years - I went back to school at the ripe old age of 54 to become a Medical Office Assistant, and became a grandmother to two wonderful little boys.  I am also teaching Copic coloring classes at a local scrapbook store!  All of this has made me a very, very busy lady!  

The first card that I am showcasing is this pretty wedding card that was a special order quite a while ago.  It features a beautiful couple from Make It Crafty that I paired with a Memory Box die as the background.  Hope you like it!

I'm looking forward to showing you some of my creations from the last two years, plus new cards that I am now designing.  

Have a great day everyone!!

Wishing You

One of my all time favorite images today.  I first colored this adorable penguin a couple of years ago, and recently decided that it deserved to be reinked and redesigned, so.......

This cutie is a retired stamp from Wild Rose Studios, that I have colored with Copics, then added polar white Flower soft details to the hat.  After fussy cutting I placing it on the card front featuring paper from my stash.  The star die is from Memory Box and the Warm Wishes die is from Frantic Stamper.

Happy Halloween Vampire!

October has flown by and there are only two more days until Halloween is celebrated!
