Who doesn't love happy mail?

 Happy Friday HH fans!!

I'm popping in today to share a Christmas card using Happy Mail.  Who doesn't love something other than a bill in the mail...count me in on that!

I have this cutie coloured for a while now & decided it was time to use it.  I can't count how many Christmas cards I still have to make this year.

For many years my daughter had hedgehogs...in fact we had 2, Kovu & Kaylee.  They both lived for almost 6 years & we miss them so much.  They had very different personalities.  Kovu was very warm and sweet, Kaylee a little more feisty.  They both loved to have their baths though.

Season's Greetings!

Hello!

It's Christmas in July over on the High Hopes Blog and the Design Team is having so much fun creating with this theme. For my card today, I am using the adorable "Hope For Peace Snowy" and the "Season's Greetings" sentiment both from High Hopes of course! After penguins, Snowmen are my favourite Winter/Christmas themed stamps to create with!

I started my card making process by stamping my image onto some Copic friendly paper using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Next, I decided on what papers I wanted to use and I chose the Echo Park "Christmas Salutations" 6x6 collection. I coloured my image to match the papers using my Copic Sketch markers. Using a MFT Postage stamp die, I cut my image out and popped it up using foam squares onto my base of layers. Some twine, a bow, snowflake embellie and enamel dots finish off my card.

Copics Used:

N0, N1, N3, N5, N7, N8, N10

R01, R39, R59, R89

YG63, YG67

C00, C0, C2

Hi!

Well the Christmas rush is over and I hope everyone experienced the best the holiday had to offer! We had a very relaxing and quiet Christmas here at our house. Today I wanted to share one last Christmas card with you. It's already been sent off and hopefully my Aunt will love it as much as I do! This is the adorable "Snowman Sled" from High Hopes Stamps.

I started by stamping "Snowman Sled" onto Copic friendly paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Next using my Copic Sketch markers, I coloured it to match the papers from the Moda Scraps "Sweet Christmas" 6x6 collection. I used a Gina Marie Loopey Square die to cut out the image. Using Tim Holtz distress ink in Vintage Photo, I inked all the edges of my papers to add some dimension. A few enamel dots and some snowflake die cuts finish off my card today.

I decided to put the sentiment "Seasons Greetings" also from High Hopes on the inside. I added some more die cut snowflakes for added interest.

Copics Used:

Snowman: C00, C1/ YR04, YR09/ W7, W8, W9

Sled: W1, W3, W5, W7, W8, W9

Reds: R32, R35, R37, R39

Blue green: BG75, BG78

E29, YR23, G46, G85

Outline: BG000, Copic 0

Seasons Greetings

Welcome Everyone;

With Christmas just two weeks away, houses are becoming festive with all the decorations on the lawns and front doors of houses.  One of the more traditional Christmas Decorations is hanging a wreath on the front door or a wall and is almost as essential to decorating for yuletide as setting up a Christmas tree and it turns out, that the two traditions come from the same place.

For today's card, I used the Wreath stamp paired with the sentiment Seasons Greetings, both from High Hopes Stamps "Woodland Winter" re release.

After stamping the image on Copic friendly paper, and colouring it, I cut it out with a pleated circle die. I also cut a wreath from a Wreath die and some Christmas Glitter paper from American Crafts, and laid this off to one side of the pleated circle wreath. Some Spectrum Noir Clear Glitter was added to the wreath, and some ribbon and enamel dots finished off this CAS card.

Supplies used:

• Stamps:  Wreath - TDG012, Seasons Greetings - FDG010 both from High Hopes Stamps "Woodland Winter" re Release
• Ink:  Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black
• Paper:  XPress It Blending Cardstock; DP - Jingle All the Way - Echo Park, Christmas Glitter - American Crafts
• Copic Markers:
• E25 - Caribe Cocoa, E27 - Milk Chocolate
• G12 - Sea Green, G14 - Apple Green, G17 - Forest Green
• G46 - Strong Red
• Dies:  Pleated Circles & Wreath -- both from Gina Marie Designs
• Spectrum Noir Glitter Pen -- Clear
• Miscellaneous:  Ribbon and Enamel Dots

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!

 Lisa

 

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).
 

Paper - Bo Bunny-Whiteout Collection 6x6 Paper Pad; SU Kraft, Not Quite Navy and White Cardstock; Xpress It Cardstock.
 

Misc - Misti Stamping Tool, Prima-Frost White Shimmer Spray, YNS-Stitched Rectangle Dies, YNS Gumdrops-Sparkly Navy Blue, Twine, Foam Tape and Glue Dots.
