Rainy Day Ducky (Created by Lisa Z.)

Hello High Hopes Fans!!!

 

Happy Saturday Friends!  I sure hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful and warm weather this weekend.  We sure could use a bit of rain though!

For today's post, I am sharing an older yet ever so cute image... 

 

This is Rainy Day Ducky (R142) and Fancy Script Happy Birthday Sentiment (HH019).  This image could be used for a variety of different occasions - for example: a baby, get well soon or Spring themed card.

 

The image was stamped on watercolor cardstock with a Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad using my Misti Stamping Tool.  Tombow markers and water were used to colour the image.  After the image was all coloured and dry, Glossy Accents was applied on the puddle.  This added the extra shine to make it appear like water.

 

For the card base, I chose some SU Lavender Lace cardstock and Imagine Crafts Vertigo-Prism Texture Film.  The designer paper is from Doodlebug - Under the Sea 6x6 Paper Pad.  No foam tape was used on this card to allow the card to remain fairly flat for mailing purposes.  

 

To complete this card, a Happy Birthday sentiment was stamped and purple enamel dots were added for a finishing touch to this simple, yet adorable card.

 

Supplies Used:

Ink - Tombow Markers - 452, 856, N15, N45, N95, 723, 933, 743, 373, 985, 126, 905, 606 and 603.  Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad.
 

Paper - Doodlebug-Under the Sea 6x6 Paper Pad; Imagine Crafts Vertigo-Prism Texture Film; SU Lavender Lace Cardstock; Watercolor Cardstock.
 

Misc - Misti Stamping Tool, Glossy Accents, Queen & Co.-purple enamel dots, Water brush and Glue Dots.

Rocking Out-CD/DVD Envelope (Created by Jane Z.)

Hello High Hopes Fans!!!

Whoo hoo - it's finally Friday!!!  In case you haven't heard the latest, High Hopes has a BOGO Event that starts today.  If you are looking to add to your stamp collection or get in on the fun, head over and check out this amazing deal!!! The link can be found here. Happy shopping!!! 

For today's post, I thought I would try something a little different using some stamps and SVG files from the New Release - Spring 2016 Collection...
 

 

This is Rocking Out (TT025), Rocking Out SVG Files (TT025SVG) and Rock On Sentiment (FF005), all on a CD/DVD Envelope!  I thought this may make for a nice gift for someone, or just a handy and cute place to keep your CD/DVD's organized and protected.

To start, I cut the SVG file for this Rocking Out image (using the point 7 file) on watercolour paper. I used a Versamark Ink Pad to stamp the image (using my Misti Stamping Tool) then applied Black Embossing Powder on the ink and heated it.  The sentiment was also stamped and embossed on a separate piece of watercolour cardstock.  The sentiment was fussy cut and glued on to the front of the drum.  To colour the image, Tombow Markers and water were used.  After the colouring was finished and dry, Glossy Accents was applied on the cymbals and on his pants to resemble a shiny leather-look.

On the CD/DVD envelope, SU Black cardstock was used to die cut out some music notes and to layer the main image (using point 14 SVG File).  To complete the assembly of this envelope, all of the die cuts and image were glued on.

Such a quick and easy project to make!

Hello High Hopes Fans!!!

I'm back to share another one of my cards from the New Release - Spring 2016 Collection...
 

 

This is Blooming Friends (TT031) and Blooming Friends SVG Files (TT031SVG).  Such an adorable image, that could be used for so many different occassions!

To start, I cut the SVG file for this image (using the point 7 file for the stamped image) on watercolour paper. I used a Versamark Ink Pad to stamp the image (using my Misti Stamping Tool) then applied Black Embossing Powder on the ink and heated it.  To colour the image, Tombow Markers and water were used.  After the colouring was finished and dry, Ranger-Frosted Lace Stickles were applied on the centres of each flower.  Glossy Accents were then added on hedgehog's nose and on top of the petals of each flower after the stickles had dried.  A Gelly Roll - white gel pen was used to add some dimples on both the little girl's and hedgehog's cheeks.

For the card base, I decided on a piece of SU Kraft cardstock.  SU White and Certainly Celery was also used for layering. The white cardstock was die cut using a YNS die called Stitched Rectangle.  The designer paper is from MFT-Subtle Plaids 6x6 Paper Pad.  The Blooming Friends SVG File (point 14 for layering) was cut using kraft cardstock for the main image. Foam tape was applied to mount the main image on the card to add some dimension.  The sentiment was die cut using Kraft cardstock with a Penny Black die from the Wishes set.

To complete this card, a SU embosslit called Beautiful Wings was cut and embossed for the mini butterflies using SU So Saffron cardstock.  A Zig-Wink of Stella clear glitter pen was coloured over top of each butterfly to add some glitter.  Mini pearls were added in the centres of the butterflies.  These butterflies were slightly folded to give them some dimension and Ranger-multi medium matte was applied only on the centre fold of the butterflies to attach them to the card.  SU candi dots - kraft were adhered in the corners of the card to finish it off.

Maribelle Cow (Created by Jane Z.)

Hello High Hopes Fans!!!

Whoo hooo - it's Fab Friday!!!  So don't forget to stop by the High Hopes website and visit the Fab Fridays sale section!  There are some great deals going on there.  The link can be found here. Happy shopping!!! 

I'm back to share a Father's Day card with you, using an older, but adorable image...

with the barn doors closed...

 

 with the barn doors slid open...

 

This is Maribelle Cow (S120) and sentiment from Sentiment Set #3 (U506).  My dad is a dairy farmer (can you tell?) and with Father's day coming up next weekend, I thought this would make for a great card for him.  I am certain he will enjoy sliding the barn doors open and closed on it!

To begin, I used a Versamark Ink Pad to stamp the image (using my Misti Stamping Tool) then applied Black Embossing Powder on the ink and heated it.  To colour the image, Tombow Markers and water were used.  After the colouring was finished and dry, a Zig-Wink of Stella pen-glitter gold, was applied on the cow bell.  These pens are so easy and fun to use to add that bit of glitter to any project!  Glossy Accents was used on the cow's mouth, horns, and udder. I just love some shine and texture on my cards!  The image was carefully fussy cut out after the gloss and glitter was dry. 

For the card base, I decided on a piece of SU Black Cardstock, along with a white piece of cardstock for some layering.  The designer papers are from American Crafts-Stitched 6x6 paper pad (clouds) and Doodlebug-Goal 6x6 paper pad (grass).  The barn is a die from Elizabeth Crafts called Barn Pop Stand; however, I did not want to do a pop up card for this project, so I just used the cut to lay flat on my card (which also works well).  SU Cherry Cobbler, Black and White cardstock was used to die cut all the pieces of the barn. A Tim Holtz background stamp was used to create the weathered wood look for the barn siding on the Cherry Cobbler cardstock.  I was surprised on how much fun and easy it was to assemble this barn.  Almost like building a real barn-LOL!  I love the idea of the barn doors sliding open and closed.  This is where I thought the sentiment would be fun to hide!  The sentiment was heat embossed with white embossing powder and cut apart to fit behind the doors.  Foam tape was applied to mount the main image on the card to add some dimension.

To complete this card, I die cut a wagon wheel and used just the spokes of it to create the fence in the background.  I found the size of the spokes to be about the right size for the fence I was wanting.  I am hoping my dad likes this card as it seems very appropriate for him.
