Birthday Fred

I can never seem to keep dog themed birthday cards made up fast enough for my friends and family who are dog lovers. "Fred" from High Hopes rubber stamps is one of my favourites to use for a dog themed birthday card but I also want to use him for a thinking of you or friendship card too - he is just too cute!!!


I stamped Fred on alcohol marker friendly paper, coloured him with Copic Sketch markers and cut him out with a stitched torn square die. I set him aside and found some matching patterned paper from Lawn Fawn and Cocoa Vanilla and created the card design. I added some sheer ribbon from my stash and some sparkly enamel dots to the corners. The sentiment was stamped and mounted on matching card stock and I used some matching patterned paper to cut out a paw print with a die and added it to a card stock banner.

A2 Card/Envelope Gift Set Holder

I should be colouring and getting some cards made but I was having my first coffee of the morning and came up this Easy A2 Card/Envelope Gift Set Holder video from Hollow Tree Hobbies. After watching the video - link here, I got my dog up and fed, had another coffee and got down to business. 

For me, it is fun to do something other than cards sometimes to get my creative juices flowing and this is the perfect project to do that. This easy to follow video was the perfect project to start my day! I still have to make the cards but I wanted to share the holder base I created. 

                                           

I love that the video has the measurements on the screen and some tips and tricks to help create this easy gift set. I have used patterned paper from Elizabeth Craft Designs and all edges are inked with Weathered Wood ink.

Easter Blooms

 I am creating this blog post on Sunday during our second snowstorm this week. We have gotten so much snow there is no where left to put it. So, what's a gal to do? Go in to her craft room and think Spring and Easter. 

I love the "Bunny Blooms" stamp from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. It was fun to bring out some spring Copic colours to colour with and to get my first Easter card for this year done. 


After stamping on alcohol marker friendly paper, I coloured with Copic markers and hand fussy cut the stamp. I set it aside and found some patterned papers from my stash, Lemon Craft and Honey Bee that all worked together. I cut the paper to fit my design and added some matching gingham ribbon before gluing the pieced down. I added the stamped image to the circle and glued it down. A stamped sentiment on matching card stock and enamel dots finish off my card.

Horse Note

Something you may not know about me is I love horses and I tend to have horse stamps jump into my shopping cart somehow.....insert angel smiley here. When I see a horse stamp I just HAVE to add it to my horse stamp collection. 

Today, I am horsing around in my craft room and playing with a stamp from Crafter's Companion from their Belle Countryside collection called Equine Elegance that just happened to jump into my cart while shopping online <smile>


                                                   

I stamped on alcohol marker friendly paper, coloured with Copic sketch markers and hand fussy cut the stamp leaving a thin white line. The stamp comes with a die to cut it out with but I wanted a little less white space around the image for this card. I put patterned paper together from three different companies for the design - they are listed below. Next I stamped the sentiment and hand fussy cut it leaving a thin white line around the edge. Some cotton ribbon and enamel dots finish off my card.

I.C.U.

I have been taking a break from card making over the last few weeks. Between family health issues I had help with and making a ton of Christmas cards, I needed a break. I wanted a clear head and a fresh start going in to a new year of making cards and I decided a humorous get well card was a good way to start! Hoping this card featuring Get Well Set from Art Impressions helps someone not only feel better but brings a smile.



                                                    

After stamping on alcohol marker friendly paper, I coloured the stamps using Copic Sketch markers and cut it out using a rectangle square. I stamped again on masking paper and stenciled the brick background. Patterned paper from Honey Bee Stamps and Simple Stories were the perfect combination for this and I cut the notebook edge with a die from My Creative Time dies. Next I cut a tab die, stamped the top sentiment and glued it down. While I had the ink out I stamped the second sentiment, cut it and mounted it on matching card stock. All of the edges were inked with London Fog Memento ink before gluing them down. Some ribbon and enamel dots finish off my card.

Tractor Christmas

Late this past Saturday night my husband had a special request for a Christmas card for his boss. His boss loves John Deere tractors and they use them daily for work, he has a collection of antique JD tractors and he also restores them. Of course my creative brain went into overdrive. A masculine card, with a tractor and Christmas themed....uh boy - I have my work cut out for me! Gulp! 

Thankfully, High Hopes Rubber Stamps has two tractors in their stamp line up - now I just had to wait for him to choose which one he wanted me to use. Oh and did I mention he wants to give it to him at his Christmas party next Saturday? Hubby chose the antique style tractor and this is the card I came up with. Here's hoping the boss likes it! 







              I did some creative masking (the stamp comes with flowers by the wheels) and stamped the tractor on alcohol marker friendly paper. After I hand drew a few of the lines to complete the wheels, I coloured the stamp with Copic alcohol markers and hand fussy cut it. I followed the same process with the Farm Background stamp as I didn't want the whole scene in the stamp. 
Once the colouring and fussy cutting was done, I die cut some snow banks using a hills die and layered them on my card base. Paper from Recollections was perfect for a snowy sky background behind the farm. Patterned paper from Memory Box was perfect for the 5.5" x 5.5" card base. 
I added some twine under the scene, stamped the sentiment and added it to the card. Before adding the sentiment, I watered down some white paint and splattered it on the scene to create a "it's snowing" effect. Enamel dots finish off my card.

Happy Birthday Bluebird

 On Sunday the weather was cold, rainy and grey so I headed to my craft room for some colouring. I wanted to colour something that made me smile and brightened my day. I went through some images I had stamped and keep in a future colouring folder and found "Bluebird" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. A perfect stamp to colour on a dreary day and make a card to add to my birthday card stash.



I coloured this cute bird with Copic markers after stamping on alcohol marker friendly paper. When the colouring was done, I cut it out with a rectangle die. Then, I took a circle die, put over top of the space I wanted it to surround and traced the inside of the die with a pencil. Next, I grabbed my exacto knife and fussy cut around everything on the inside of the circle. Yes I questioned my sanity after starting but at that point I was committed.
After the cutting was done, I found some patterned paper from Echo Park and my stash that were perfect for my 5.5" x 5.5" card design. The frame around the edge of the stamped image was created by taking two larger rectangle dies, laying them inside each other, taping them down and running them through my die cut machine.  The sentiment is from a larger stamp that I masked off to get the part of the sentiment I wanted and ribbon and enamel dots finish off my card.

Birthday Iris

  The weather is grey and rainy where I live today so I decided to have a play in my craft room with something that makes me happy to brighten up my day. I love flowers - don't do well growing them but I do love them. Roses are my favourite but I also have grown very fond of Iris so I planted some this summer. 

I also need birthday cards for my stash so when I saw this Iris stamp in my stash I decided it was perfect for a birthday card and to brighten my day. 



                                                      

I coloured the stamp with Copic markers after stamping on alcohol marker friendly paper and cut it out using a chain oval die. I found some paper from Lawn Fawn and Honey Bee Stamps that were perfect for my card design and cut them out to fit my 5.5" x 5.5" card base. Some twine, a fussy cut butterfly from my stash, sentiment and enamel dots finish off my card.

Christmas Believe

I not sure which I need more of .... snowman or penguin Christmas cards. I have friends and family who love them so I end up colouring a lot of each every year. Thankfully, High Hopes Rubber Stamps has lots of snowman stamps. "Believe Snowman"  is one of my favourites and I make at least one card (it's usually more <smile>) with this stamp every year. 


                                                                                      

                         

After stamping on alcohol marker friendly paper, I coloured with Copic sketch markers and cut the stamp out with a slash stitched die. I added some Star Dust Stickles the to the snow and icicles - I like a bit of sparkle on my Christmas cards. Patterned paper from Echo Park was perfect to create my card design with. After cutting the layers, everything was glued together and glued down on the card. I stamped the sentiment and added it under the ribbon bow. Some enamel dots finish off my card.

Prairie Bouquet Birthday

 Last weekend I spent some time practicing colouring flowers. I had found a few stamps at a Thrift store so I took a break from Christmas cards to colour a few up. This weekend my goal is to get some cards made with my practice colourings. First up is this birthday card featuring Pure Prairie Bouquet from Power Poppy Stamps.


                                                        
After stamping on alcohol marker friendly paper, I coloured with Copic markers and hand fussy cut the stamp leaving a thin white edge - yes I questioned my decision to fussy cut this stamp more than a few times while cutting. I wanted to keep the card design pretty clean and simple because the stamp has a lot going on. I cut some white card stock, stamped some script and then cut it down the middle with a hill border die. All papers are edged with Old Paper Distress ink. Next, I positioned the sentiment where I wanted it and stamped it directly on to the card stock using my Misti. Some simple enamel dots finish off my card.

Penguin Christmas

It's looking a lot like Christmas in my craft room! Growing up we always had an artificial tree but I had a lot of friends and family who made it a tradition to go out as a family and get a real tree. This stamp called Penguins Carry The Tree from Whimsy Stamps reminds me of the fun stories my friends told of their adventures to find the perfect tree. 



                                                       

After stamping on alcohol marker friendly paper, I coloured with Copic markers and hand fussy cut the stamps and went around the edges with a black marker to get any white I had missed. It is hard to see in the pictures but I added Star Dust Stickles to the hats as well. I used the stitched border trio to cut some snow banks and added them to my card bases created with patterned papers from Photo Play, Echo Park and my stash. Sentiments, twine, glittery snowflakes and enamel dots were added to both cards to finish them off.

He Gnomes.....

 I have a few people on my Christmas card list who love gnomes so the "Santa's List" stamp from High Hopes Rubber Stamps was perfect for a card for one of them. High Hopes has a few different Christmas gnomes to choose from so it was a tough choice......but I will definitely be colouring more of them!


                           

I stamped on alcohol marker friendly paper, coloured with Copic markers and hand fussy cut the stamp. I added some sparkle to his hat with Star Dust Stickles and set him aside to dry. Patterned paper from three different companies came together to help put the design together and a notebook edge die gave me the "Santa is taking notes" look I was hoping for. I added some fishtail banner ends to add some interest to the card and finished it off with the sentiment, twine and enamel dots. The stamp is added with foam pop dots to help give the card some dimension.

Winking Holiday Cheer

 After taking a bit of a break from making Christmas cards, I am back at it. When I am creatively challenged as I like to call it, I will look at my stamps and try to find a way to make them go further. This stamp comes with a frame around it but I decided to just colour the snowman and fussy cut it for a different look. Meet the adorable "Winking Snowman" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps! How cute is he?!?


                            

After stamping on alcohol marker friendly paper, I coloured him with Copic markers and hand fussy cut him. Patterned paper from three different companies helped the design come together. I added some sparkly icicle border the the top of some of the paper, sparkly ribbon and glitter enamel dots - I love adding a bit  of sparkle to my Christmas cards. The sentiment was stamped and added at the bottom to finish off the card.

Christmas Bell

I am still in Christmas mode in my craft room. I need a lot of cards and even more this year as I get ready for a Christmas open house. For this CAS card, I have used the "Joyous Christmas" stamp from Elizabeth Craft Designs. I have been looking for a poinsettia stamp for a while now and when I saw this stamp combined with the greenery and bell I had to have it. I think it is perfect for my parents and inlaws as well so I will be colouring more up!

                                                        
After stamping on alcohol marker friendly paper, I coloured with Copic markers and hand fussy cut the stamp leaving a thin white edge. I wanted a clean simple layout for this gorgeous stamp so I kept the patterned paper pretty clean without a lot going on to keep the focus on the stamp. After cutting the paper for the 5.5" x 5.5" card base, I cut a circle out of matching dark green cardstock to tuck under the image and stamped the sentiment in the middle. A few clear enamel dots around the sentiment finish off the card.

Not A Bill

I have quite a few Christmas cards I need to mail each year and I hope that the people who receive them are happy it isn't a bill showing up in their mailbox. "Not A Bill" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps is perfect for sending some holiday cheer. It come with grass under his feet and by the mailbox post but I chose to fussy cut him and add some snowbanks to make a Christmas card.


                                      

                               

I coloured this cutie with Copic markers after stamping him on alcohol marker friendly paper and hand fussy cut him. I did the same thing for the tree and added some Stickles for "snow". Patterned paper from Mintay was the perfect backdrop for this outdoor scene. I added some snow banks and cut thin strips of card stock to glue on top to give the stamp a place to "rest" and create another snow bank. I tucked the mailbox post and tree in behind the first snow bank,  glued them down and stamped and added the sentiment. Some simple enamel dots finish off the card.

Sending Pony Smiles

Yesterday I had the chance to go to a crafty garage sale. As I was flipping through the stamps I came across this adorable stamp from Lili Of The Valley called Me And My Pony. It is retired but anyone who knows me knows......if it's a horse stamp it is coming home with me and going in to my "collection". It was later in the day when I got back so first thing this morning I was excited to get to colouring and creating with my new stamp. Hoping this brings a smile to one of my horsey friends. 


                                                         
After stamping on alcohol marker friendly paper, I coloured with Copic markers and cut the stamp out with a notched rectangle die. I used a circle punch to cut the corners to match the die.....well, I tried......they aren't perfect but they are close. I set is aside and combined patterned paper from three different companies to create my design. I added the sentiment, ribbon, enamel dots and a wood horseshoe to finish off my card.

Holiday Cheer

I'm back in my craft room getting some Christmas cards done. This "Bird Song" stamp from High Hopes Rubber Stamps just makes me giggle! I would be the upside down one in the middle ha ha. I need a few cards in my stash that aren't too full of bling for some of the men on my list and I think this card fits that bill. 

Here's hoping this card brings a smile and holiday cheer to one of them. 



                                 

After stamping on alcohol marker friendly paper, I coloured with Copic markers and cut the stamp put with a stitched tag die. I added a hole on the end so I could add just a touch of sparkly ribbon. Star Dust Stickles were added to the balls on their hats and the edge of the scarf but that is kind of hard to see in the picture. Next I found some patterned paper from Echo Park and cut it to complete the design on a 5.5" x 5.5" card base. The sentiment is actually two lines but I masked off the bottom line and stamped it for this card. 
Some sparkly icicles add a winter feel to the card and some sparkly dots finish it off.
