Normally we are covered in a ton of snow at this time of year, but this year we have had a lot of sun and double digit temperatures. It feels like spring and spring to me means flowers!! </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I planted some daffodil bulbs in the summer and they have started to come up already! I am hoping the little bit of snow and freezing temperatures we had on the weekend don't kill them but somehow I think they will be alright. The new daffodils and a tulip coming up inspired my cards for this week. I decided to do a card gift set featuring the Lazy Daisy Lady Bug stamp and a number of sentiments from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. Am I the only one ready to see some spring flower beauty in the flower beds? </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYchjWslr9VBZ6HE3IYWp4Jtd24QzTqitB7x74YjjGAKglQ5uq1_WrmooV7GT5NhFQtpKbxpOUCXzA14GBB3DypaO4BMEqwxkPEN1Ws59d4wBa09kcHB_5ApT1keDEnM5k3iPlwtvYt_7ZxVSTQQTeDmsmDhU7ORXWjWoqmde5iHn7rNtePa6PCHNvt18/s1020/Lazy%20Daisy%20Lady%20Bugs3HH.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="829" data-original-width="1020" height="369" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYchjWslr9VBZ6HE3IYWp4Jtd24QzTqitB7x74YjjGAKglQ5uq1_WrmooV7GT5NhFQtpKbxpOUCXzA14GBB3DypaO4BMEqwxkPEN1Ws59d4wBa09kcHB_5ApT1keDEnM5k3iPlwtvYt_7ZxVSTQQTeDmsmDhU7ORXWjWoqmde5iHn7rNtePa6PCHNvt18/w454-h369/Lazy%20Daisy%20Lady%20Bugs3HH.jpg" width="454" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #242424; font-family: verdana;">After stamping the image 5 times on alcohol marker friendly paper, I coloured them with Copic markers and cut them out using a square die. Next, I grabbed my Misti and some of my favourite High Hopes sentiment and stamped each daisy with it's own sentiment. Truth be told, the two smaller Just A Note cards are the result of a sentiment I masked off that I didn't stamp straight, so I trimmed them down to create two smaller cards. I wanted to keep the design clean and simple for this set and added them to a piece of black card stock. There are three 4.5" x 4.5" cards and two approximately 4" x 3.25" cards in this set and I am hoping someone in my life will be able to use them. </span></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #242424; font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></span></div></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-family: verdana;"><u>Stamp Recipe</u></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;">Stamps - <a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/animals/lazy-daisy-ladybugs-j111/">Lazy Daisy Lady Bugs</a> </span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(J111</span></span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">)</span></span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;">- High Hopes Rubber Stamps</span></div><div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Sentiment - <a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/sentiments/just-to-say/you-make-me-smile-fdg015/">You Make Me Smile </a><span style="font-size: x-small;">(FDG015), </span><span><a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/sentiments/just-to-say/sending-smiles-g276/">Sending Smiles</a> <span style="font-size: x-small;">(G276),<a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/sentiments/just-to-say/just-a-note-dll003/"> </a></span><a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/sentiments/just-to-say/just-a-note-dll003/">Just A Note</a> <span style="font-size: x-small;">(DLL003)</span></span></span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"> - </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">High Hopes Rubber Stamps</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Memento Tuxedo Black ink, Hammermill Digital Cover Card Stock, black card stock, square die</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><u>Copic Markers</u></b></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Stem - YG01 YG03 YG17</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Centres - Y11 Y15 YR23</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Petals - C0 C1 C2</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Lady Bugs - T2 T4 T6 R05 R17 R39</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Outline - B000</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">Thanks for stopping by!

The die had a scalloped edge on top but I decided to remove the scallops as they just didn't feel right. I cut card stock to go behind it and decided to tilt it slightly to create some interest on the card. It was pretty plain so I used a small heart die to cut out three hearts down the side. I added some even smaller hearts in the middle just for fun.

Friends come in all shapes and sizes and "Fish Kiss" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps was perfect for my card. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This inspiration for this card came from a young man in my life who has an amazing relationship and friendship with his grand parents. He will drop everything to come and help them if they need it and when he has good news or bad, they are often one of the first people he talks to and tells. He is an amazing young man and doesn't expect any more then a thank you from them when he has done something for them......or a good home cooked meal <smile>. I hope you enjoy my card and appreciate the friends you have in your life as much as I do. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSSl0LOPfiWVwq_5mltjlW2oRwIUQKl1BoNG0JYEV6yt5oMWTtr-6A-u_VnW6meAOL71mpelx3dph4yBKZcRQK0fiAOtJXhFYLX6J3i5z4Scz1T72YA7bDvLDFsnLKF6Y5E9_TAv7g8D0NuBWlCRz6fboX2dVj_AqSP6GNjDS6QLb93656NuI5XHM-f7E/s1008/Fish%20Kiss5HH.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1008" data-original-width="988" height="411" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSSl0LOPfiWVwq_5mltjlW2oRwIUQKl1BoNG0JYEV6yt5oMWTtr-6A-u_VnW6meAOL71mpelx3dph4yBKZcRQK0fiAOtJXhFYLX6J3i5z4Scz1T72YA7bDvLDFsnLKF6Y5E9_TAv7g8D0NuBWlCRz6fboX2dVj_AqSP6GNjDS6QLb93656NuI5XHM-f7E/w403-h411/Fish%20Kiss5HH.jpg" width="403" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU1TEH3EYzBPnV37JD77MXguLAJevS6S0b-iOAD8RP6fKIBj3y1Zt5lcEQFQTjC0wXqNVRA6wl3asOFG8cRjBZxNdp-jbUrayhzWq5nBJlhsfCCD5Kpgt79vK0k1ZFnhpKLUrotri2D71KOD-VMmo64Cidma0n14dyHXBuJYaMnRj4pdfs7TLFQmygNN4/s870/Fish%20Kiss5CloseuP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="735" data-original-width="870" height="270" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU1TEH3EYzBPnV37JD77MXguLAJevS6S0b-iOAD8RP6fKIBj3y1Zt5lcEQFQTjC0wXqNVRA6wl3asOFG8cRjBZxNdp-jbUrayhzWq5nBJlhsfCCD5Kpgt79vK0k1ZFnhpKLUrotri2D71KOD-VMmo64Cidma0n14dyHXBuJYaMnRj4pdfs7TLFQmygNN4/s320/Fish%20Kiss5CloseuP.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #242424; font-family: verdana;">I stamped on alcohol marker friendly paper, coloured with Copic markers and hand fussy cut the image.

I set it aside and found some paper from and old Echo Park pad that fit the colour palette perfectly. I cut the pieces to fit my A2 size card base. I cut a circle out of patterned paper and cut off the edge just to create some interest. Next I cut the fishtail heart banner out of matching paper and card stock, cut some smaller hearts out of a different banner to put in the middle of the hearts and glued them to the base. Then I glued down the circle and added the stamp with foam pop dots. I stamped the sentiment, mounted it on matching card stock and added some enamel dots to finish off my card. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #242424; font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></span></div></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-family: verdana;"><u>Stamp Recipe</u></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;">Stamps - <a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/outdoor-fun/farm-outdoor-fun/cow-hugs-tt136/">Cow Hugs </a></span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(TT136</span></span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">)</span></span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;">- High Hopes Rubber Stamps</span></div><div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Sentiment - <a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/sentiments/birthday-sentiments/hugs-kisses-fr016/">Hugs & Kisses </a><span style="font-size: x-small;">(FR016)</span><span><span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> - </span>High Hopes Rubber Stamps</span></span></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Patterned Paper - Blowing Kisses - Echo Park</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Memento Tuxedo Black ink, Hammermill Digital Cover Card Stock, heart banner dies - Your Next Stamp, circle die, 3D foam dots, enamel dots</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><u>Copic Markers</u></b></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Hooves - C1 C2 C4 C5</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Flowers - Y11 Y15 Y17 YG03 YG17 R81 R83 R85</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Spots - N3 N5 N8 N10</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Bow/Bell Band - R24 R27 R37 R59</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Grass - YG01 YG03</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Shading - C1 C2</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">Thanks for stopping by!

I found some patterned paper from Memory Box and cut it to fit my A2 size card base. To create the wave, I cut the paper with a hill die and then trimmed the straight edge off to the size I wanted after laying it beside the larger piece. I used an embossing folder the add some texture to both of these pieces before gluing them down. I cut a banner to go behind the image, stamped the sentiment and cut it out with an oval die. All of the paper and stamped image are inked around the edges with London Fog ink. After gluing the banner down, I cut the stamp square with the stamped image to fit the edge of the card and glued the sentiment down over one corner. Some enamel dots finish off my card. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #242424; font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-family: verdana;"><u>Stamp Recipe</u></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;">Stamps -<a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/birthday/baking-gnome-slf035/"> Baking Gnome</a> </span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(SLF035</span></span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">)</span></span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;">- High Hopes Rubber Stamps</span></div><div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Sentiment - <a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/sentiments/birthday-sentiments/eat-cake-fdg026/">Eat Cake</a> <span style="font-size: x-small;">(FDG026)</span><span><span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> - </span>High Hopes Rubber Stamps</span></span></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Patterned Paper - Spring Plaid - Memory Box</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Memento Tuxedo Black ink, Hammermill Digital Cover Card Stock, polka dot embossing folder - Cricut, xtitched square die - Gina Marie Designs, fishtail banner die, oval die, London Fog ink - Memento, hill die, enamel dots</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><u>Copic Markers</u></b></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Skin - E00 E21 E11</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Cake - E23 E25 E27</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Stand/Shoes - C1 C2 C4</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Clothes - B00 B01 B02</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Flowers - RV10 RV14 RV21</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Bowl/Spoon - E41 E42 E43</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">Thanks for stopping by!

For my first card of 2024 I decided to start the year with a smile and have some fun with "Happy Pigs" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps - how can you not just smile along with these two!?!</span></span></p><p><span style="text-align: center;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJQDmhGjEryq0Mf1CzqucZyGBz7Sbp21o_n1A7JYoglR8_VNKxedoLNZg_4W5Tq6BP1udnIlGmoQ-6MtCBgkQyPse4euY7KidtyViNa26hqqnh5A_PASr4oLRa8nV_GC1j4W_HNl6dSU05pgZA1n7haB6KMTvj8ofMWEs-VlS8b3Rn4RZ_4-m_A0YhY0c/s749/Happy%20Pigs.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="717" data-original-width="749" height="383" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJQDmhGjEryq0Mf1CzqucZyGBz7Sbp21o_n1A7JYoglR8_VNKxedoLNZg_4W5Tq6BP1udnIlGmoQ-6MtCBgkQyPse4euY7KidtyViNa26hqqnh5A_PASr4oLRa8nV_GC1j4W_HNl6dSU05pgZA1n7haB6KMTvj8ofMWEs-VlS8b3Rn4RZ_4-m_A0YhY0c/w401-h383/Happy%20Pigs.jpg" width="401" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4Y1S9QZ7j06u5N-B5Mxeq0QLGG1064c5AkqHh8pfa0YYSXpj7eDSdRo4tXr7MtPjUuOeHgyAoMzmni4AjE6cWV-9lJS4RIkJvYSaYl0tR5Sb2J_ZQ_8oHFFLSJrjtcKVYEKxmcsBlqys_5SAOCn7CIMpDLRruFTRJgakNh2woJgRZZtIzs4dVSBXIcsI/s476/Happy%20PigsCloseUp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="384" data-original-width="476" height="258" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4Y1S9QZ7j06u5N-B5Mxeq0QLGG1064c5AkqHh8pfa0YYSXpj7eDSdRo4tXr7MtPjUuOeHgyAoMzmni4AjE6cWV-9lJS4RIkJvYSaYl0tR5Sb2J_ZQ_8oHFFLSJrjtcKVYEKxmcsBlqys_5SAOCn7CIMpDLRruFTRJgakNh2woJgRZZtIzs4dVSBXIcsI/s320/Happy%20PigsCloseUp.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #242424; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #242424; font-family: verdana;">After colouring these cuties with Copic markers, I cut them out with a stitched tag die and set them aside.

This often takes two, three or more tries but this time it worked the first time! After gluing down the paper layers, I added the tag - after putting some lace through the hole, added some flowers with enamel dots in the centre and added enamel dots to the four corners to finish off my card. </span></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #242424; font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-family: verdana;"><u>Stamp Recipe</u></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;">Stamps - <a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/animals/happy-pigs-tt133/">Happy Pigs</a> </span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(TT133</span></span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">)</span></span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;">- High Hopes Rubber Stamps</span></div><div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Sentiment - <a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/sentiments/just-to-say/somedays-gg024/">Somedays</a> <span style="font-size: x-small;">(GG024)</span><span><span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> - </span>High Hopes Rubber Stamps</span></span></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Patterned Paper - Gingham Galore - My Favorite Things</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Dots & Stripes - Carta Bella</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Memento Tuxedo Black ink, Hammermill Digital Cover Card Stock, Stitched Scallop Nesting Tag - Kat Scrappiness, envelope edger die - Whimsy Stamps, Vintage Photo Distress Ink - Ranger, lace ribbon, flowers, corner rounder, enamel dots</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><u>Copic Markers</u></b></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Fence - E23 E25 E27</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Pigs - E01 E02 E93 E95 R21 C2 C4 C5</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Bird - B02 B04 B06</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Mud - E34 E35 E29</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Grass - YG03 YG17</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">Thanks for stopping by!

The first step was to cut a piece of white card stock to the size I needed to fit my A2 size card. Next, I took Mowed Lawn Distress ink and smooshed it on to a piece of acetate, misted the piece of acetate with water and "kissed" the white card stock to the ink. I rotated the paper to get "kisses" of colour where I wanted them on the paper and set it aside to dry.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #242424; font-family: verdana;">While the paper dried, I hand fussy cut the stamped image I had coloured with Copic markers leaving a thin white line. I found some water colour look paper to match and cut it out using fish tail banner dies. I stamped the sentiment directly on one of them and then layered them together, glued them down and added the stamped image. A heart banner in the corner finishes off the card. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #242424; font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-family: verdana;"><u>Stamp Recipe</u></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;">Stamps - <a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/animals/puppy-pals-ss034/">Puppy Pals</a> </span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(SS034</span></span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">)</span></span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;">- High Hopes Rubber Stamps</span></div><div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Sentiment - <a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/sentiments/just-to-say/pawsing-to-say-g306/">Pawsing To Say </a><span style="font-size: x-small;">(G306)</span><span><span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> - </span>High Hopes Rubber Stamps</span></span></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Patterned Paper - Bloom & Wild - Craft Consortium</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Memento Tuxedo Black ink, Hammermill Digital Cover Card Stock, fishtail banner dies, Mowed Lawn Distress ink, heart banner die - Whimsy Stamps</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><u>Copic Markers</u></b></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Noses - N3 N5 N8 10 </span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Bodies - E13 E15 E17 E18 C1</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Grass - YG61 YG63 </span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">Thanks for stopping by!

Enamel dots finish off my card. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #242424; font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-family: verdana;"><u>Stamp Recipe</u></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;">Stamps - <a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/holidays/snowmen-2/snow-kisses-tt059/">Snow Kisses</a> </span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(TT059</span></span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">)</span></span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;">- High Hopes Rubber Stamps</span></div><div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Sentiment - <a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/sentiments/christmas-sentiments/scripty-merry-christmas-fll007/">Scripty Merry Christmas </a><span style="font-size: x-small;">(FLL007)</span><span><span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> - </span>High Hopes Rubber Stamps</span></span></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Patterned Paper - Winter - Echo Park</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Memento Tuxedo Black ink, Hammermill Digital Cover Card Stock, fishtail banner die, enamel dots, ribbon, Star Dust Stickles, foam pop dots, white gel pen</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><u>Copic Markers</u></b></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Clothing - B95 B97 B99 R81 R83 R89 R89</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Birds - B00 B01 B02 B04 Y11 Y15 Y17 C1 C2 C4 R20 R21 R22</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Nose - N5 N8</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">Thanks for stopping by!

Over night and for the next two days they are calling for snow. As kids the first snowfall was always so exciting! When we would get snow days from school when there was a snow storm there was nothing like bundling up in our snow suits and spending the day outside playing. When we were soaked through and cold we would go in the house and have a hot cup of hot chocolate. My card this week features Cocoa Gnome and brings back all of these wonderful memories. And now.......I think I need a cup of hot chocolate.....</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjQ30ETyXDhjQyF9fZ_Hfu0HlFrfVJeaLEvMrwCWNAueHcJlSrmd99Yb07SBOo969D_ryBJkQJaY935XzDzRc8MggRoDSkc1HDK2jot-6u3Kq7AfKI8T0TCliua0W1dI5z39UtjPnUJ-C2ko1FpT6MEhD9pt9QcbLoYyuLCu2Reg_7qn7WDYboK4XkIjc/s903/Cocoa%20GnomeHH.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="877" data-original-width="903" height="347" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjQ30ETyXDhjQyF9fZ_Hfu0HlFrfVJeaLEvMrwCWNAueHcJlSrmd99Yb07SBOo969D_ryBJkQJaY935XzDzRc8MggRoDSkc1HDK2jot-6u3Kq7AfKI8T0TCliua0W1dI5z39UtjPnUJ-C2ko1FpT6MEhD9pt9QcbLoYyuLCu2Reg_7qn7WDYboK4XkIjc/w357-h347/Cocoa%20GnomeHH.jpg" width="357" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghrFz-gga-qU051h6jRvj1Jfa7YmNVnhcWI3lOFd8aIihIJNVftEC6Vhr9VkMHYa5r9bfs0nrCK4krBA5wvWVHBbD0QgX8jSMTx91zQd2qCgjR-fb__pV6_R4GbXpipURPxv5Wsd1yiEM1UbH_oV_fSyPrr9c8oofcmTiPWs3zy8mFopoZt_n9g-KBzbQ/s660/Cocoa%20GnomeCloseUp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="660" data-original-width="660" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghrFz-gga-qU051h6jRvj1Jfa7YmNVnhcWI3lOFd8aIihIJNVftEC6Vhr9VkMHYa5r9bfs0nrCK4krBA5wvWVHBbD0QgX8jSMTx91zQd2qCgjR-fb__pV6_R4GbXpipURPxv5Wsd1yiEM1UbH_oV_fSyPrr9c8oofcmTiPWs3zy8mFopoZt_n9g-KBzbQ/s320/Cocoa%20GnomeCloseUp.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #242424; font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white;">After colouring the stamp with Copic markers, I cut it out using a circle die.

I did the same for the card stock behind it but decided to off set it for a different look. Next I cut patterned paper from Echo Park to fit my card base and added a small strip at the top to add some interest. The sentiment was masked off from a larger sentiment, stamped, cut and mounted on matching card stock.

I was listening to the radio while I crafted and while I was trying to figure out a sentiment to put with him a song came on that I not only could not get out of my head but inspired the sentiment I chose using words from two different sentiments.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL0p77_WkTszRn8ER3dMQeABJAn6DnzQ47JpzET3fbzO1dJ0XGxTNiu9gvUKciUXGf5teCmhW0XYUnLXXiQfbYVLDyRaQ-DdBz7nTwg0uaIq6H8r6WO5sRLmJyKL96YA3dCeXSZbF6-8uBccsTw0vcZXooJCCqexdin_HqKaCeUVt0GfEHLZ7zOpSH8UQ/s1010/Mr.%20Frog1HH.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1010" data-original-width="862" height="379" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL0p77_WkTszRn8ER3dMQeABJAn6DnzQ47JpzET3fbzO1dJ0XGxTNiu9gvUKciUXGf5teCmhW0XYUnLXXiQfbYVLDyRaQ-DdBz7nTwg0uaIq6H8r6WO5sRLmJyKL96YA3dCeXSZbF6-8uBccsTw0vcZXooJCCqexdin_HqKaCeUVt0GfEHLZ7zOpSH8UQ/w323-h379/Mr.%20Frog1HH.jpg" width="323" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiODY9ZAcuYnkvWbDnj54k8w_Gk0MXUkBF7368Nybk-EKhF6se9O1LiNYAj6hRsAj85RHraLd-dNkFmywAjOrLNFI0IOlT_4veEklt1qNw4EyBCkxO7aayqTL4NihYSeRUSG8F3tH0Yj1i_mRT3z2PXDkbw4zuLqfAkWtZJQQXl6KqvCEC5qhByzIwkvk4/s642/Mr.%20Frog1CloseUp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="540" data-original-width="642" height="269" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiODY9ZAcuYnkvWbDnj54k8w_Gk0MXUkBF7368Nybk-EKhF6se9O1LiNYAj6hRsAj85RHraLd-dNkFmywAjOrLNFI0IOlT_4veEklt1qNw4EyBCkxO7aayqTL4NihYSeRUSG8F3tH0Yj1i_mRT3z2PXDkbw4zuLqfAkWtZJQQXl6KqvCEC5qhByzIwkvk4/s320/Mr.%20Frog1CloseUp.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #242424; font-family: verdana;">After colouring this cutie with Copic markers, I hand fussy cut him and ran a black marker around the edge to get any white I had missed.

Next, I stamped the sentiment, cut it out with a circle die, added it to a matching card stock base and set it aside. I cut a snow bank with a stitched edge die and added some die cut trees from Memory Box. Once all of the pieces were glued down I added the stamped image and sentiment. Some sparkly snowflakes from a snowflake border, enamel dots and a bow finish off my card. </span></span></span></div><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #242424; font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-family: verdana;"><u>Stamp Recipe</u></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;">Stamps - <a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/holidays/christmas-holidays/polar-bear-family-tlf005/">Polar Bear Family</a> </span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(TLF005</span></span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">)</span></span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;">- High Hopes Rubber Stamps</span></div><div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Sentiment - <a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/sentiments/christmas-sentiments/we-wish-you-ff045/">We Wish You</a> <span style="font-size: x-small;">(FF045)</span><span><span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> - </span>High Hopes Rubber Stamps</span></span></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Patterned Paper - Jingle All The Way - Echo Park</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Memento Tuxedo Black ink, Hammermill Digital Cover Card Stock, stitched hills die - Whimsy Stamps, circle die, fishtail banner die, snowflake border die - Whimsy Stamps, ribbon, tree dies - Memory Box, enamel dots</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><u>Copic Markers</u></b></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Hats & Scarves - R24 R27 R37 R59 E30 E31 E35</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Feet - RV10 RV11</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Cheeks - R20</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Shading - C1</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">Thanks for stopping by!

I haven't done it in years but when I was in the restaurant industry or had spent a weekend at a trade show, there was nothing like coming home and sinking in to a hot bubble bath. My favourite kind was chocolate fudge sundae which sadly isn't made anymore - yup, they made a bubble bath that smelled like chocolate! When I saw the "<a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/babies/baby-hedgehog-rdg016/">Baby Hedgehog</a>" stamp from High Hopes Rubber Stamps, it reminded me of the days when a hot bubble bath helped me find my smile again. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFfz2ePZt6lvO20cgQ020zgQ9-pWbNCjLIWrV8rHsbAhNao7UgSe3gv8pZLj0TNAyeUGEaCQCoqgmzF8q2vpzWsx_74RB1QSeHrlE3-u9-wQYDQXNP3HToE6XpzO9XqZ0Q8zVHbXQbnwPFNvMYOVfZhyriieYP9CDSM3_8bXC3Zb35S1GNDYpbhJJGMhQ/s1002/Baby%20HedgehogHH.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1002" data-original-width="957" height="373" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFfz2ePZt6lvO20cgQ020zgQ9-pWbNCjLIWrV8rHsbAhNao7UgSe3gv8pZLj0TNAyeUGEaCQCoqgmzF8q2vpzWsx_74RB1QSeHrlE3-u9-wQYDQXNP3HToE6XpzO9XqZ0Q8zVHbXQbnwPFNvMYOVfZhyriieYP9CDSM3_8bXC3Zb35S1GNDYpbhJJGMhQ/w357-h373/Baby%20HedgehogHH.jpg" width="357" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwKWH693UKMVGqMSWc3N4SMlZVhaGib_JHQLVgpE1PvpkU-ZKIkh1TWjsyWEK8HwB_J8sbg1vODahjY25cMJ6frV9CXH_EBFVUSMzWJHglsLObfEogh6c1vogawztqjMBJMga1mV3q_hgEDfw9pXFPZRFwV8-lbBc4ANJgEWNijVhZ4upXk5HndXSV2d0/s672/Baby%20HedgehogCloseUp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="642" data-original-width="672" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwKWH693UKMVGqMSWc3N4SMlZVhaGib_JHQLVgpE1PvpkU-ZKIkh1TWjsyWEK8HwB_J8sbg1vODahjY25cMJ6frV9CXH_EBFVUSMzWJHglsLObfEogh6c1vogawztqjMBJMga1mV3q_hgEDfw9pXFPZRFwV8-lbBc4ANJgEWNijVhZ4upXk5HndXSV2d0/s320/Baby%20HedgehogCloseUp.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #242424; font-family: verdana;">After stamping and colouring with Copic markers, I cut the stamp out with a square xstitch die.
