Santa? Is that you?!!!

Today I am showing you all a card featuring Santa????  Maybe it is him, the hat seems to be the same one Santa wears at Christmas, but why is he dressed like a lumberjack!  Inquiring minds want to know - is it really the jolly old man or an imposter.  What do you think?

This adorable image is Woodland Santa (R098) from High Hopes rubber stamps and can be purchased here.  I have stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on to Copic Xpress It cardstock, and then colored the image with Copic markers and Prismacolor pencils.  Some polar white flower soft and Nuvo Crystal Drops in Ebony Black give some added dimension to the card.  The image was fussy cut and then adhered to the card front that I created with My Favorite Things Mini Cloud Edges stencil and Mermaid Lagoon distress ink.

Have a Pawfect Birthday

My newest obsession is anything from My Favorite Things - they have wonderful stamps and dies that I just love!  Today's card features a couple of dies and just one of the many stamps that have jumped into my craft stash.  As well as using My Favorite Things products, I have also used the Wednesday sketch challenge featured here.

I stamped an image from My Favorite Things New Best Friends stamp set on to Copic Xpress It cardstock with My Favorite Things Black Licorice Hybrid Ink, and then colored it with Copics.  The image and mats behind it were all cut with My Favorite Things Stitched Tag Corner Rectangle die, and the hearts with paw prints are from My Favorite Things Paw Prints die.  The sentiment is included with the image.

I am entering this card into the following challenge - 

My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge 

Cuddle Time

           I finally have a new card to show everybody that features an older Stamping Bella image.

This gorgeous image is I Love My Petsabella that I have colored with Prismacolor pencils on kraft paper.  The stitched line die, hearts and sentiment are all from My Favorite Things.  Hope you like it!!

Christmas in February

Happy Wednesday and last day of February!  Hard to believe that tomorrow is the start of a new month - where, oh where did time go?!!!  As it is Wednesday it is time for me to showcase another adorable image from High Hopes Stamps for One Crazy Stamper.  This week I've done another Christmas themed card in the hope that I will have a whole stack of them this year!

This adorable image is Winter Moose available here.  I stamped the image on kraft paper with Versafine ink in Onyx Black and then colored it with Prismacolor pencils.  The designer paper is from Simple Stories Classic Christmas line, while the snowflake, scalloped edge and sentiment are from My Favorite Things.  I uses a Wink of Stella clear pen to add shimmer to the snowflake and a white Sakura glaze pen to add the highlights on the sentiment.

Spirit of Easter

Only a few short weeks and it will be Easter and I thought I should share this sweet card with you all today.  This image is "Dust Bunny Collector" from Whipper Snapper Designs.

The image was stamped onto Copic Xpress It cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then colored with Copic sketch markers.  I then added Prismacolor pencil colors to the highlights and shadows, and blended them out with Gamsol.  The bunnies have a layer of grey flocking powder over them to add some softness.  The sentiment was computer generated and the white dots in her eyes were done with a Sakura glaze pen.

Fluffle Hugs

Did you know that a group of bunnies is called a Fluffle?  Seemed fitting for this card to be entitled Fluffle Hugs!  I decided to make a fluffle of bunnies using the High Hopes Rubber stamp image "Flop Eared Rabbit (H013), by masking and stamping the image five times.  Gotta love fluffles!!

After the image was grouped together I colored them with Copic markers, and then added depth and highlights with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol.  I then fussy cut the fluffle, and placed it on to a card front with a clear acetate panel, showcasing the patterned paper on the inside of the card.  The stamped sentiment is from one of my Stamping Bella images, and HUGS was cut with a My Favorite Things die.

Hummingbird

The most difficult card to make and yet it's the one theme I get asked to create the most - a sympathy card.  Today's card for One Crazy Stamper didn't start out to be a sympathy card, but sometimes the biggest mistakes turn out beautifully.

This image is Hummingbird from High Hopes Stamps and is available to purchase here.  I stamped the image on Copic Xpress It cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then colored the image with Copic markers.  The hummingbird itself was covered with Wink of Stella clear glitter.  After fussy cutting the image, I adhered it to the card front that I created with one single sheet of patterned paper.  The raised centre was created by carefully cutting the centre of the paper out, matting it and then raising it with pop up dots.  The sentiment is from my stash, and the pearls were created with a Viva Decor cream pearl pen.
