Here is another card that I made, using High Hopes Stamps and some Wink of Stella Glitter on the wings!  The glitter looks sooo pretty in real life.  It was difficult to capture that in the picture.

Pumpkin Patch (Created by Jane Z.)

Hello High Hopes Fans!!!

TGIF!!!  As summer nears the end, the air starts to feel a bit more crisp and harvest season is near.  I am excited to share another fall card with you today.
 

 

This is Pumpkin Patch (S152).  I just love the country appeal this stamp has!

 

To start, I used a piece of watercolour paper and 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 main image, Tombow Markers and water were used.  After the colouring was finished and dry, Glossy Accents were added on the lettering of the sign and on the crow's beak and heart.   

For the card base, I decided on a piece of SU Always Artichoke cardstock and the layering piece is SU Kraft cardstock.  The designer paper is from Simple Stories-Take A Hike 6x6 Paper Pad.  A sponge dauber with a SU Chocolate Chip Ink Pad was used to sponge ink around the edge of the image and layering piece, to give the card a more country/rustic look.  Foam tape was applied to the main image to help make it pop out a bit and add some dimension.  To complete this card, some strips of twine with a bow was added, along with a few sparkling clear sequins. 
 

Supplies Used:

***Note: If you are in need of any products used here, please send Lora at OCS an email and I'm sure she would be happy to get the item(s) you are looking for.

 

Ink - Tombow Markers - 055, 985, 925, 933, 126, 195, 245, 847, 905, 969, 977, 947 and N45; Versamark Ink Pad, Black Embossing Powder, SU Chocolate Chip Ink Pad for sponging edges.

 

Paper - Simple Stories-Take A Hike 6x6 Paper Pad, SU Always Artichoke & Kraft Cardstock;  Watercolour paper.

 

Misc. - Misti Stamping Tool, Glossy Accents, Sparkling Clear Sequins, Twine, Ranger-multi-medium matte, Sponge Dauber, Water Brush, Foam Tape and Glue Dots.

Hello High Hopes Fans!!!

 

Happy Saturday Friends!  I am excited to share a Halloween Treat Bag Tag with you today...

 

This is Batty Boo (P126).  What a great image for Halloween!

 

The image was stamped on watercolor cardstock using my Misti Stamping Tool with a Versamark Ink Pad and heated with black embossing powder.  The image was coloured with Tombow Markers and water.  Once the colouring was finished and dry, Glossy Accents were applied on the bat's wings and nose.  After the gloss was dry, the image was cut down to size and some SU Chocolate Chip ink was sponged on the edges.

 

For the tag base, I chose a piece of designer paper from Simple Stories-Take A Hike 6x6 Paper Pad.  The edges on both the image and the background were punched with different corner punches. To complete this tag, a bunch of brown YNS gumdrops and ribbon were added. 

  

Supplies Used:

Ink - Tombow Markers - 606, 977, 993, 879, 905, N35, N55 and 723; Versamark Ink Pad, Black Embossing Powder, SU Chocolate Chip Ink Pad for sponging edges.

Tom's Plea (Created by Jane Z.)

Hello High Hopes Fans!!!

TGIF!!!  Well, the summer is just flying by and before too long fall will be here.  Along with fall comes Thanksgiving.  Here is a fun card just for that occasion...
 

 

This is Tom's Plea (R201) and Happy Thanksgiving sentiment (G089).  This image makes me chuckle - poor Tom!  He does taste good at Thanksgiving dinner though...lol!

 

To start, I used a piece of watercolour paper and a Versamark Ink Pad to stamp the image and background (using my Misti Stamping Tool) then applied Black Embossing Powder on the ink and heated it.  To colour the main image, Tombow Markers and water were used.  After the colouring was finished and dry, Glossy Accents were added on Tom's beak.  Once this had dried, I proceeded to fussy cut the image. 

For the card base, I decided on a piece of SU Pumpkin Pie cardstock and the layering piece is SU Marine Mist cardstock.  The designer paper is from Doodlebug - Happy Harvest 6x6 Paper Pad.  Foam tape was applied to the main image to help make it pop out a bit and add some dimension to this card. A grass edger punch was used to create some grass for Tom to sit on.  The sentiment was stamped with versamark ink, and heat embossed with SU Tangerine Tango embossing powder.  Foam tape was also used to adhere the sentiment.  To complete this card, some paper flowers with pewter brads in the centres were added.   Hope this inspires you to start on some fall/Thanksgiving projects!

This is Tommy's Fall Fun (S079) and part of Happy Fall Ya'll sentiment (G290).  Tommy is having a great time playing in all the leaves!

 

The image was stamped on Xpress It cardstock with a Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad using my Misti Stamping Tool.  The image was coloured with Copic Markers.  Once the colouring was finished, Glossy Accents were applied on the pile of leaves and leaves in the air.  After the gloss was dry, the image was cut down to size and some SU Chocolate Chip ink was sponged on the edges.

 

For the card base, I chose some SU Chocolate Chip cardstock.  The designer papers are from Prima-Bohemian Bamboo and Bo Bunny-Heritage Collection 6x6 Paper Pads.  Only part of the sentiment was used to create the "Happy Fall", then punched with a SU Tag Punch.  Again, the edges of the sentiment were sponged with SU Chocolate Chip ink.  To complete this card, a bunch of dewdrops (dark vanilla) were added to create some dimension.

Little Nutty Buddy (Created by Jane Z.)

Hello High Hopes Fans!!!

I sure hope everyone is enjoying all the heat these days, but before too long...fall will be here!  For my post this week, I am excited to share a card for the upcoming season.
 

 

This is Little Nutty Buddy (M150) and Special Delivery sentiment (F116).  I think this little buddy is just the cutest!  This card could be used for a variety of different fall occasions - possibly a birthday, thinking of you, or get well soon card.

 

To start, I used a piece of watercolour paper and a Versamark Ink Pad to stamp the image and background (using my Misti Stamping Tool) then applied Black Embossing Powder on the ink and heated it.  To colour the main image, Tombow Markers and water were used.  After the colouring was finished and dry, Glossy Accents were added on Buddy's nose.  Once this had dried, I proceeded to die cut the image using a MFT Stitched Circle Die. 

For the card base, I decided on a piece of SU Chocolate Chip cardstock and the layering piece is SU Kraft cardstock.  The designer paper is from Doodlebug - Friendly Forest 6x6 Paper Pad for both the background and fishtail flag die cuts.  Foam tape was applied to the main image to help make it pop out a bit and add some dimension to this card. A piece of twine was tied in a bow and placed above the image.  The sentiment was stamped with versamark ink, and heat embossed with white embossing powder.  Foam tape was also used to adhere the sentiment to the card.  To complete this card, three small YNS Gumdrops were added around the circle die cut.   Hope this inspires you to start on some fall projects!

Milton's Fall Harvest (Created by Lisa Z.)

Hello High Hopes Fans!!!

 

Happy Saturday Friends!  It's hard to believe after all the beautiful and hot weather we've been enjoying this summer, that Fall is just around the corner!  I am thrilled to share my card, that is fitting for the upcoming season...

 

This is Milton's Fall Harvest (S214) and Remembrance Tree (T056).  Picking apples is such a fun and yummy family event!!!  It looks like Milton picked the entire tree clean!

 

The image was stamped on Xpress It cardstock with a Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad using my Misti Stamping Tool.  The image was coloured with Copic Markers.  Once the colouring was finished, Glossy Accents were applied on the apples.  I just love how the gloss appears on this picture of my card, with the glare from the lighting on some of the apples!  After the gloss was all dry, both images were fussy cut out leaving a small white border around them.

 

For the card base, I chose some SU Soft Sky cardstock.  The fence was a die cut from MFT called Farm Fence.  The clouds were punched using a Fiskars punch. To punch the grass, a Martha Stewart grass edger punch was used. To assemble and complete this card, foam tape was applied to adhere the main image, grass and the fence posts to add some dimension. 

  

Supplies Used:

Ink - Copic Markers - E47, E49, E25, E27, R46, E31, G29, G43 and G46; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad.
 

Paper - SU Soft Sky, Wild Wasabi, Chocolate Chip and White Cardstock; Xpress It Cardstock.
 

Misc - Misti Stamping Tool, Glossy Accents, MFT-Farm Fence Die, Fiskars Cloud Punch, Martha Stewart Grass Edger Punch, Foam Tape and Glue Dots.

Happy Harvest (Created by Jane Z.)

Hello High Hopes Fans!!!

For this month, the talented Design Team is sharing projects made with Fall/Halloween stamps. So here is my card using some of these super adorable High Hopes images...
 

 

This is Harvest Harry (S032), Crow from We're All Ears (K034) and Happy Harvest Sign.  What an adorable scarecrow and crow!

 

To start, I used a piece of watercolour paper and a Versamark Ink Pad to stamp the image and background (using my Misti Stamping Tool) then applied Black Embossing Powder on the ink and heated it.  To colour the main image, Tombow Markers and water were used.  After the colouring was finished and dry, Glossy Accents were added on the crow's beak.  Once this was all dry, I proceeded to fussy cut out the crow and sign.  The main image was die cut using a MFT - Cross Stitch Rectangle die.  The background clouds were created using a scalloped oval punch template and some Adirondack Aqua ink pad with sponge dauber.  I just moved the punched piece randomly around and sponged the ink in an upward motion.

For the card base and main image layering, I decided on a piece of SU Chocolate Chip cardstock.  The designer paper is from Bo Bunny-Heritage Collection 6x6 Paper Pad.  To create the cornstalks, a MFT die called Cornstalk was used with SU Always Artichoke cardstock.  A Versamagic dewdrop - wheat, was lightly brushed over the tip of the cornstalks to create a more realistic tassle on the corn.  To adhere the crow, sign and cornstalks, foam tape was applied to help make them pop out a bit and add some dimension to my card. 
 

Supplies Used:

***Note: If you are in need of any products used here, please send Lora at OCS an email and I'm sure she would be happy to get the item(s) you are looking for.
