Tommy's Fall Fun (Created by Lisa Z.)

Hello High Hopes Fans!!!

 

Happy Saturday Friends!  Before too long, some of these will be falling...

 

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. 

  

Supplies Used:

Ink - Copic Markers - E23, E27, E31, E35, E51, R39, R59, Y38, YR68, B41 and B95; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad.
 

Paper - Prima-Bohemian Bamboo 6x6 Paper Pad, Bo Bunny-Heritage Collection 6x6 Paper Pad, SU Chocolate Chip and White Cardstock; Xpress It Cardstock.
 

Misc - Misti Stamping Tool, Glossy Accents, SU Tag Punch, The Robin's Nest-dark vanilla dewdrops, Sponge Dauber and Glue Dots.

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.

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.

Tall Country Snowman (Created by Lisa Z.)

Hello High Hopes Fans!!!

 

Happy Saturday Friends!  I have one last Christmas/Winter card to share with you this month... but, I am not sure everyone wants to really think about snow these days!

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 snowman's carrot nose, the mouse's nose, and the beak on the bird.

To complete this card, some liquid pearl dots were added and a snowflake punch was used behind the sentiment.  Clear rhinestones were also added on the centre of the snowflake and snow part of the sentiment.  Such a fun and sparkly card to make, and my mom is still cleaning up my mess from all the dry glitter I used! hahahaha!

Toboggan Joyride (Created by Lisa Z.)

Hello High Hopes Fans!!!

 

Happy Saturday Friends!  I have another Christmas/Winter card to share with you today... Hopefully this helps to inspire you to start those festive cards!

 

This is Toboggan Joyride (S071) and Bold Seasons Greetings sentiment (H044).  Such a cute image, with these little fellas having some fun flying down the slope!!!  

 

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.

 

For the card base, I chose some SU Kraft cardstock, along with a piece of SU Not Quite Navy cardstock for layering.  The designer paper is from Bo Bunny-Whiteout Collection 6x6 Paper Pad.  The image was fussy cut out with a tiny border, in order to avoid some difficult to reach areas.  White cardstock was ripped to form a snow hill then spritzed with some Prima Frost White Shimmer Spray.  It's a bit difficult to see the glitter on the snow in this pic, but in real life it is quite sparkly.  The entire scene was die cut using a YNS die called Stitched Rectangles.  The navy layering piece was also cut with the next size larger die in the same set.  Foam tape was applied to adhere the main image to add some dimension.  To stamp the sentiment, a SU Not Quite Navy Ink Pad was used to coordinate with the cardstock. 

 

To complete this card, a couple strans of twine ribbon tied in a bow was added at the top of the card, along with two YNS Sparkly Navy Blue gumdrops.  Such a fun card to make!

 

Supplies Used:

Ink - Copic Markers - E49, E25, R27, E23, B91, B99, T4, T6 and E31; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad; SU Not Quite Navy Ink Pad (sentiment).
