Gnome and Snowman Friend

Happy Friday HH Fans!

Today I'm sharing our adorable image called Gnome and Snowman Friend with the Winter Wonderland sentiment.

I chose non traditional colors for this image just for a change from the norm.  This cutie was just perfect for me because I love snowmen & gnomes.

This is really quite a clean & simple card.  I used a lovely snowflake border die cut that a friend had and spiced things up with some glitter.  I cut out the image & a mat with a die then cut off the bottom for a straight finish.  This allowed me to put my sentiment straight across the bottom of the 6 x 6 card.  A few enamel dots and this cutie was all done.

Reindeer Games!

Happy Tuesday HH Fans!

Today I'm sharing a little bit of Christmas with a High Hopes Rubber Stamps image called Reindeer Games.  I matched up this adorable image with the Merry Christmoose, Eh! sentiment.

Instead of fussy cutting out this image on my own I used my Brother Scan N Cut.  I did have to draw a pencil line across the bottom of the image to stop the Scan N Cut from cutting out all my snow.  I just erased it after it was cut.  I used some hill dies, a birch tree, an evergreen set & a snowflake set to complete the little scene.  I only used 2 enamel dots....that's a wow for me.  The dark cardstock is actually navy blue, not sure if you can tell from the pic.  I paired the navy with a deep red cardstock for the mat.  The patterned paper is from a Winter Collection at Michael's last year.  The bottom of the patterned paper had a scene on it so I cut it off & only used the night sky portion for this card.

Time for a little carpentry!

Happy Monday HH Fans!!

Today I want to share this great masculine image with you called Carpenter Ant from High Hopes.   I kind of chuckle every time I look at this image.  Carpenter ants are so bad if you get them in your house, but this guy was just so fun to make a card with.  I actually think he is kinda handsome for an ant...yeah I know crazy right!  I picked this particular Happy Birthday sentiment because I thought the font with the little dots looked like nail heads.

I die cut some mini little tools, sorry don't know the brand as I borrowed them from a friend.  It took me a little time to figure out just how to use them but I thought they were perfect for this card.  I cut the tools out of textured cream cardstock & gave them a little bit of color with my Copics.  I listed the colors below.  I also die cut a fence in cream cardstock & used some Memento Espresso ink to dd some dark color.

Willa with a Flower

Happy Sunday & welcome to today's blog post!

Today I'm sharing this adorable image called Willa with a Flower from High Hopes Rubber Stamps.  I have paired Willa with the Bold Happy Birthday sentiment.  I never seem to have enough birthday cards in my stash so I'm on a little mission to get some done.

I don't seem to use blue very much for my cards so I decided to ignore the pink/rosie flower color and work with the patterned paper instead.  The striped paper is from the Up & Away pad by Dovecraft...yes it has been in my stash for several years.  I also used Bo Bunny's Enchanted Garden pad, also an older pad.  I will be a little sad when that Bo Bunny pad is all gone because I love all the colors in it.

I die cut my image with some Spellbinders dies which I also used for the mat.  The little border across the middle of the card, behind the image is a Martha Stewart border punch.  I decided not to put a background on the stamped image & to just leave it white.  A few enamel dots, some glitter & NO ribbon and this cutie was all done.

What a bummer!

Happy Friday & welcome to today's blog post!

I felt like a little humor was in order today so I created this card using Workout Betty (TLF011) from High Hopes Rubber Stamps.  This gal just cracks me up, maybe because I can see myself in her lol.  I paired Betty with the Bummer (H263) sentiment also from High Hopes...I think it says it all.

I wanted to keep this card just a little old fashioned if that makes sense so I made it pretty clean & simple.  Just a bit of ribbon & some enamel dots.  I used a Spellbinders die that has been in my stash for years & years....using it today for the first time.

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Today I'm sharing a 2fer lol using Walker Walter (TLF013) & Walker Winnie (TLF012) from High Hopes Rubber Stamps.  I thought these images would be just perfect to have in my stash for friends going through knee surgery or just to say I was thinking about them.

I created both cards using the same layout, I just flipped the layout for the 2nd card.  The sentiment is Wishing You Well (E146).

I used my Brother Scan N Cut to cut both images out & also to create the layer around them.  I kept both cards fairly simple with just a few enamel dots with a little ribbon for Winnie's card.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian Friends & Family!

Even though this has been a rough 2020 for many of us, I personally still have so much to be thankful for.  Family & friends make my world a special place.  I think of the goods times this year that we have been able to share, even if sometimes it is just a chat on the phone or a video call.  My Mom always said patience is a virtue...she was right.  We all need patience during these very trying times.

For this special Thanksgiving I created a little scene card using some of my favourite farm stamps from High Hopes....no turkey lol.  Farmer Clem (S119) & his little gang - Billy Goat (Q060), Brewster (H189) with Corn Stalk (M011) & Farm Fence (M045).  A simple sentiment Happy Thanksgiving (F203) finishes off my card.

I had such a good time fussy cutting all my little images for this scene card...yes I love to do that lol.  I edged each cut image with a black marker, doing that gets rid of the white edge on your images.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, Happy Thanksgivng!

World Card Making Day with Ally Rose

Happy World Card Making Day High Hopes fans!!!

I wanted to pop into to share a little harvest fun on World Card Making Day with our adorable image called Ally Rose.

I remember when I was younger, much younger lol, spending time up on my Aunt & Uncle's farm.  I can remember myself sitting on a fence just gazing over the fields & feeling so much peace.  After a day of chores & harvesting crops it was so relaxing to just hang out.  I created this card with those images in my mind.

This clean & simple card also features Sm. Fluffy Ewenice with the Rustic Fence and the sentiment Dot Stuffed Blessings.  A little ribbon & some enamel dots finish off this card.

Thanks for popping by today!
