Happy 60th Birthday!

Mar22

Hi One Crazy Stamper Fans!

Hello There! My brother turned 60 this year and so I had to have some fun with his card. LOL!  I thought the background paper was perfect for his card with all those candles.

I used the stamp from High Hopes Rubber Stamps called “Birthday Bob” and coloured in the image with Copic markers. I tried to colour the candles to match the background paper.

The sentiment was created in Microsoft Word using Cooper Black font and then printed out on my printer. Then I die cut it with My Creative Time – Stitched Circle Balloon Dies using my Cuttelbug and completed the edging around the balloon with Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Fossilized Amber.

The main image and co-ordinating rectangles were all die cut with Your Next Stamp – Stitched Rectangle Die Set.

On the inside of the card I loved the sentiment:  Birthday Emergency (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) and Firefighter Dragon (High Hopes Rubber Stamps). My brother is also a Firefighter so I couldn’t resist the temptation! LOL!

He loved his card and I hope you do too!

Sweet Birthday Dreams

Mar16

Welcome Dreamerland Fans!

Some of you may be new to my blog since Dreamerland Crafts is introducing the 2019 design team and today is my day! I was so excited to be asked to join the Dreamerland team this year.

For my card, I thought the little boy hugging his pillow with his little kitten on his back was adorable! It made me think of making a birthday card with him sleeping and dreaming about all of his wishes coming true.

Dreamerland Crafts – Birthday 08  was used to create the sentiment and  Dreamerland Crafts – ZZZ was used for the image.

 

Here is a close-up of the little boy image:

To make the card, I first die cut the image from Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using my Cuttlebug and die cut from Spellbinders Labels 17. Then I stamped the image onto it using my MISTI (Most Incredible Stamping Tool) with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

Copics were then used to colour the image. I chose a starry background to represent night time for his dreaming! This was die cut with Spellbinders Labels 17 as well and then edged with Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Black Soot. Sentiment from Dreamerland Crafts – “ZZZ” was then stamped with Versa Fine – Onyx Black ink and then embossed with Ranger – Clear Super Fine Detail Embossing Powder and heated with Marvy Heat Embossing Tool.

For the sentiment, I used the die cut from My Creative Time – MCT 224. Sentiment was stamped with Versa Fine – Onyx Black ink and then embossed with Ranger – Clear Super Fine Detail Embossing Powder and heated with Marvy Heat Embossing Tool. Used Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Evergreen Bough around the border of the die cut.

Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Shabby Shutters was used for edging around the card.

Both the main image and Sentiment were popped up with  3M VHB 2-sided tape.

Party Animals

Mar6

Welcome OCS Fans!

Sharing a fun card featuring: High Hopes – Wild Party and sentiment High Hopes – Birthday Party Animals! I just love these little characters.

 

I first stamped the sentiment using Tim Holtz Distress Inks – Dusty Concord and then to emboss it I used some Versamark and Ranger – Clear Super Fine Detail embossing powder. Using my MISTI, made this very easy to do. I decided to add a little bit of bling as well, so I die cut a few small balloons and added them on each side of the sentiment. I also decided to give them some fuzzy pop-poms on their hats to finish them off. Enjoy!

Shake Your Ba-Donkey-Donk!

Feb20

Hi There,

I’m excited to tell everyone that I’ve been accepted as a Card Designer for One Crazy Stamper High Hopes Stamps. Yay!!!

Today I’m sharing a birthday card that I made using a combination of High Hope Rubber Stamps – Party Donkey S113, Brayden’s Backside T066 and Warm Wishes S016. When I first saw the 2 donkey stamps, I knew just what I was going to do with them and it made me giggle just thinking about it! LOL! I hope that you get a giggle too!

I coloured in the High Hope Rubber Stamp – Party Donkey S113 on the front of the card and the fussy cut around the stamp. The cake is from the High Hopes Warm Wishes S016 stamp. I stamped it out and then fussy cut around it. I made the little flames using some spare yellow cardstock.

 

 

On the inside of the card, I decided to have some fun with the High Hopes – Brayden’s Backside T066. I stamped out the full image and then just the back haunches and tail. I coloured in both images and then fussy cut around them both. I attached the haunches using an Activation Wobble Spring. When you bring it to one side or the other. The butt shakes back and forth! LOL!

Here it is in action:

Hi There! Here is the card that I made with the new Kraftin’ Kimmie – Beautiful Blooms set.

 

I also used the new Kraftin’ Kimmie Purple Pansy and Kraftin’ Kimmie Lovely Lagoon inks to acentuate the veins in the leaves and petals in the flowers. Also around the borders of the card and die cut. Sentiment is from Kraftin’ Kimmiee – Tweetie Pies.

For all of the leaves and stems, stamped the images onto Momenta – Cardstock, then stamped with Versamark ink and embossed with Ranger – Clear Super Fine Detail embossing powder. Next I inked over the entire flowers with Kraftin’ Kimmie Purple Pansy! All of the leaves were inked over with Kraftin’ Kimmie Lovely Lagoon.

Magical Friends

Apr28

Hi There!

I had a chance to work with the new Kraftin’ Kimmie – Magical Friends stamps. It was so much fun and I hope you love my creation.

I know that we all would love a cleaning fairy, so I used the sentiment from Kraftin’ Kimmie – Lorretta Laundry stamp set on the front.

I also thought the little Gnome and squirrel on the stump from the Kraftin’ Kimmie – Whimsical Gnomes stamp set fit well with the little scene that I was trying to create.

 

If you look closely at the paper in the background, you will also see some little fairies playing in the flowers.

Of course, I couldn’t resist putting in this little fairy playing with her kitty on the inside, which is also part of the new Kraftin’ Kimmie Magical Friends stamps set.

Here is a close-up:

She has no intention of doing any housework at all! LOL! Instead she is enjoying her day!!! Sentiments surrounding the image are from the new Kraftin’ Kimmie – Magical Friends stamps set.

Birthday wishes are from Kraftin’ Kimmie – Kick Assy Birthday stamp set.

All images were stamped onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using my  MISTI – Most Incredible Stamping Tool for precision stamping and Memento – Tuxedo Black ink. Then coloured in with Copic markers.

Sentiments were stamped with Versa Fine – Onyx Black and Ranger – Clear Super Fine Detail embossing powder.

Edged around die cuts and main card with Sharpie – Gold Medium Point – Water Based Paint.
