Player Photo Day

Happy Thursday OCS Fans! It is the last Thursday in May already but there is still time for you to play along in this month's challenge! 

My inspiration post for today is made with "Dribble Master" from the Spring Collection 2016 from High Hopes. Today we find our dribble master getting her player photo taken and she's the MVP for the team this year! I will add the sentiment inside when I have an occasion to use my card.

Close Up

I started by cutting the matching svg file for the stamp with my Cricut, stamped it using my Misti and coloured her with SN alcohol markers. A film strip and polaroid die cut were added to from my background. The patterned paper is from the 6x6 Life Documented pad from Simple Stories. I added some blue brackets from a Quickutz label and the MVP sticker is from Paper House. The edges are inked with Studio G ink. I added some sparkle with the Give Thanks for Sparkle gumdrops from Your Next Stamp.

Just Because Puppy

Happy Thursday High Hopes Fans! I can't believe it's the last Thursday in May already! 

I am totally in love with this adorable puppy!!  This is "Puppy Wonder" and the "Just Because" sentiment from the new Spring Collection 2016.

Close Up

Both the stamp and sentiment were cut with their matching SVG files using my Cricut and coloured with SN alcohol markers and SN Sparkle pens on the butterfly. I added a sky background that I ran through the Swiss Hearts embossing folder from Taylored Expressions and added some die cut clouds from Die'sire and a picket fence from YNS. The patterned paper is from the 6x6 Spring pad from Echo Park. I used a Memento Tuxedo Black pen on the edge of the image to highlight it.

Hello

   Welcome Back High Hopes Fans!

I hope you have been enjoying all of the awesome cards and projects the design team has been sharing from the Spring 2016 Collection new release.

I have nieces, nephews and a god daughter who like many adults I know have their phone on them 24/7 - I mean who doesn't now a days...I admit I do! 
"On The Phone" is the perfect stamp for almost any occasion for the teen, preteen or many adults in your life. The sentiment will be added on the inside of this card once I have an occasion to use if for. 

The stamp is coloured with alcohol markers and it's hard to see in the picture but I added some clear Wink of Stella to the phone for a bit of sparkle. I used Stitched Oval Dies to cut her out and then placed a light turquoise oval behind. I felt like the word paper from the Life Documented 6x6 pad from Simple Stories was perfect for this card. Some ribbon and some sparkly gumdrops finish off the card.

Owl Always Love You

Happy Thursday High Hopes Fans! Tomorrow is Fri-Yay! 

My post today features a number of stamps from the new Spring 2016 Collection. I have used "Sweet Heart Owls, Blossom Tree Branch, Small bow and Owl Always Love You". The accessories in this new release are so cute for these cute, pudgey owls! 

Our Sweet Hearts are having a quiet, loving moment by the light of the moon.

I started by colouring my image with alcohol markers. My poor manicure scissors were feeling neglected since I have been using the new svg files for this release so I broke them out and fussy cut my owls and tree branch. 

I cut a "moon" out using a circle die and pounced some yellow ink on it a few shades darker then my cardstock to add some dimension. 

The sentiment comes as one long piece but I chose to stamp it two separate times which allowed me to cut it apart and mount it on my card. I stamped and fussy cut the small bow twice - once for her bow and once for his bow tie.

Soccer Star

Hello One Crazy Stamper fans! It's Thursday and my turn to post some inspiration for you. I hope you have been enjoying the posts from the design team using the new Spring 2016 Collection from High Hopes. 

My post today features "Soccer Star". How fun is this stamp!? I used to play soccer growing up so I love this stamp!

I started by cutting out the svg file for this image with my Cricut. Using my Misti, I lined up my image and stamped it with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Soccer Star is coloured with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and I edged the image with a tuxedo black Memento pen. Her laces are done with a white gel pen and she is popped up with pop dots. Patterned paper from Doodlebug gave me some fun, bright colours to play with. The grass, star and clouds are cut with  dies (see below). My card is finished off with black gumdrops.

Everything Grows

It's a happy Thursday again and that means it's my turn to post on the High Hopes Stamps blog. 

Today I am sharing the oh so cute "Fragrant Blooms" and "Everything Grows" sentiment from the Spring 2016 Collection new release. I absolutely love the pig tails on this cutie don't you?! 

This is the perfect birthday or Mother's Day stamp for the gardener in your life - mine is my mother in law. 

I am in love with the SVG files sold separately for each image and sentiment in this new release. I started by cutting both the sentiment and stamp files along with the background for each with my Cricut. The stamp is coloured with alcohol markers and mounted onto the background. The patterned paper is new to my "collection" from Prima - I really liked the almost country feel to some of these papers. The image itself is popped up with pop dots and I added clear Wink of Stella to the flowers. Some lace ribbon and cream gumdrops ( they look pink but they're cream) to finish off my card.

Slam Dunk Birthday

Happy Thursday OCS fans! I have a masculine card to share with you today featuring "Slam Dunk" from the High Hopes Spring 2016 Collection new release. I hope you get a chance to pop by the website and check out this release. It is full of fun, cute images and new svg files. I chose to make this as an easel card and popped the image up with pop dots.

I started by cutting the svg file for this stamp and then stamping it using my Misti. I created my easel base and made a "crowd" in the background using my SN pencils. I wanted them to be "blurred" out like they are in the distance. I chose some wood paper and after googling the lines on a basketball court, added them to my paper. The sentiment was created on my computer. A few black gumdrops finish off my card.
