Peeking Bear Welcome

 I don't have many welcome new baby cards in my stash so when I saw this adorable stamp from High Hopes I knew I had to colour it and make a card for my stash. 
No one in my immediate future will need this card (that I know of) but I love this adorable bear and her/his rattle. You can colour it in boy, girl or in a case where I don't know the gender in yellows and greens. How fun would this be as a gift tag hmmm...... 

I coloured this sweet bear with alcohol markers and hand fussy cut it leaving a thing white edge. I found some paper from Carta Bella and cut it to size.
I added a cardstock circle with stitch marks and a lacey frame behind the bear, stamped and cut the sentiment and added it to some matching polka dot paper. 
Some wood hearts and gumdrops finish off my card.

Welcome Little One

                                     Happy Thursday High Hopes Fans!

My post today features and older High Hopes stamp called "Just Bein Nosy" and the sentiment "Welcome Little One". How cute are these two nose to nose meeting each other. 

I started by colouring my stamp with alcohol markers and cutting it out with a stitched rectangle die. I cut a die from Spellbinders and cut it apart to create the "frame" around my stamp. The edge of the stamp and patterned papers were given a bit of edging with distress ink. I added my sentiment and a few matte gumdrops to finish off my card.

Special Delivery

Hello OCS Fans! I hope you're having a great week. 

For my post today I stayed with the baby theme and used a an older High Hopes stamp and sentiment. This is "Precious Cargo" and the "Special Delivery" sentiment. 

I had some fun with my dies to create my background scene of sky, clouds and little house. I coloured my stamp with alcohol markers, fussy cut it and added it to my scene with pop dots. I stamped the sentiment and added it to some matching cardstock. Ribbon, flowers and silver beads finish off my card.

Just Arrived

              We're having a Baby Boom at High Hopes Rubber Stamps! 
I hope you've had a chance to hop along on our new release blog hop. 

Now, on to my card for today. I am using "Swaddled Baby Girl" and the "Just Arrived" sentiment from the new release.  As part of this month's challenge, we have the option of using a sketch. This is my take on it. 

The Sketch

After colouring this cutie with alcohol markers, I cut it out with a Lacey circle die. Paper from Doodlebug was perfect for this stamp. A pink marker was used to add some fun pink dots to her blanket.  I stamped my sentiment and fussy cut around it and finished off my card with a few sparkly gumdrops.

Stamp: Swaddled Baby Girl (RR005)

Sentiment: Just Arrived (HH027)

It's A Shower

Have you seen all the cute babies in the Baby Boom release from High Hopes Rubber Stamps? If not, grab a coffee and hop through our new release blog hop for your chance to win. 

My card for today features "Baby Elephant Celebrates" and the "It's A Baby Shower" sentiment. I think this elephant is too cute!! 

After colouring the stamp with alcohol markers I fussy cut it leaving a thin white border. I wanted to do something different for my background paper so I pulled out some ink and did some ink blending. After I was done the blending I used a black marker to outline my circle. Some clear Sparkle pen adds a little bit of fun glitter to the background and balloon. Polka dot paper and some sparkly gumdrops finish off my card.
