Wow What a Catch

Hi :)
It's Kathy here, with a male card to show you for a change :)
I've used a cute High Hopes stamp called Wow What a Catch. Nikki has 20% off High Hopes Stamps currently.
It's a great stamp for guys of all ages ! And you could use it for a fisherwoman too I guess :)

The papers are from the fabulous Glitz Uncharted Waters pad.
I coloured him with my copics and added a couple of black pearls too.
The sentiment is from Pollycraft and it's called Birthday Sentiments.  I just thought it went perfectly with the image.  Nikki doesn't have it in stock at the moment but I'm sure she would get it in for you if you'd like it :)

Thanks for dropping by today :)

Lucy's Lambs

Hello and good morning everyone! I am already in Spring mood at the moment... although outside it looks as anything else than spring, with having snow again today... But, I LOVE to create Easter card. This sweet image 'Lucy's Lambs' from High Hopes is perfect for this occasion. The sentiment I used is from High Hopes as well.

I colored her with Copics. The gorgeous papers I used for this card is from Prima 'Delight'.I also used the Magnolia DooHickey 'Heart Flower Lace'... I am so in love with this at the moment! And the hidden tag is from Magnolia as well; it is Doohickey 'Vintage Tag'. The beautiful corners are from Marianne D 'Anja's Vintage Corners'.

I embellished my card with some Flat Backed Pearls and some Marianne D Flowers.

Hummingbird Ring

Hi :)
It's Kathy here with a High Hopes card to show you.
This stamp is called Hummingbird Ring.  It's very beautiful isn't it!
I've never seen a hummingbird in real life before so I "Googled" them and found that they come in many different colour combinations. I think they would make a gorgeous set of cards if you just changed the sentiment and birds colouring on each one.
I think you could use it for lots of occasions but I just used a "general" type sentiment from the new Whimsy set Everyday Moments.

The beautiful papers are from the Summer Stories pad by Teresa Collins.  And I've also used a Sun Kiss Prima Button.

Thanks for dropping by for a look today :)

Snowy

Hi,  Kathy here with a card I made using a very cute snowman stamp from High Hopes called Snowy Tag .

I decided to colour him and cut him out to use as a tag (you need to imagine him on a beautifully wrapped present, as I have some cards done but I don't have any presents organised yet!) :) 

You could use him as a cute bookmark too!

Then I just used his head on the card.

I used the gorgeous Joyous papers by authentique again.  The black has lots of Christmas sentiments in different languages and the red is a fun Christmas find-a-word  (the scroll at the bottom is on the paper, it is not part of my watermark :)

My daughter has a male teacher this year and I thought she might like to give this card to him so I resisted the urge to put stickles on the snowman or letters in case it made it too "pretty".  I did use some of the black flat backed pearls as accents though.

This stamp is actually very versatile.  It makes a great tag of course but there are lots of other ways it can be used with the top portion of the image. Plus .... he's lots of fun to colour.

Thanks for dropping by to take a look :)

Christmas Cats and Dogs

Hello and good morning everyone! Today I have two fun Christmas cards to show you. Both made with stamps from High Hopes. The first one is Christmas Cats Block.

The papers I used here is a non typical Christmas design. But it fits perfect for this occasion too. It is from Kaisercraft 'Porcelain Rose'. Here I also used some red web ribbon and some white lace. Below you can see a close up of this sweet image.

The second card I show you is made with 'Dog Trio Block'. For this card I also used papers from Kaisercraft, from the 'Silly Season' pad. Here I also used some red web ribbon and few Flat Back Pearls for embellishing.

Both images are colored with Copics. And on both I also used a sentiment stamp from High Hopes 'Magic of Christmas'.

 

I hope I were able to inspire you to create some Christmas cards. I know there is still some time, but you never can start making them too early as we know how fast the time flies while that time.

Have a wonderful day now.
Hugs, Karina

Memory Problems

Morning,

Hope you are all keeping warm if you are affected by the cold spell of weather we are currently having.  I am leaving the house with my scarf, woolly hat and gloves, minus one finger nail..... Ollie nicked my gloves off the table and wasn't happy until he had chewed a thumbnails worth off, and this was the second time he had done this and my second pair of leather gloves.  I had my first pair for some time and they were quite expensive, £40, and I still couldn't put them in the bin.  My newest pair Hubby got me from Asda but they were just about moulding to my hands. Grrrrrrrrr.  When will this puppy, stop.... mind you he's 19 months now, but Bichon's never grow up do they........

My card today is far from snow.  I have used one of the new High Hopes images Online Olive coupled with a High Hopes memory sentiment.  I'm sure there are a few of us out there that this would be suited to, lol.

New prima buttons.

A close up of the sentiment.

Keep warm.

Leapin' Lewis

Hello everyone, Karina here today, to show you a winter-like card I made with this sweet penguin from High Hopes called 'Leapin' Lewis'. Isn't he so sweet? I coloured him with Copics. I wanted to create my card in a mix of winter and Christmas colours; white, blue, red and green. The papers from Carta Bella 'Merry & Bright' have this combination. I just love those sheets with numbers on it. And dots and stripes are always perfect. Under the lace I added some dark pink raffia lace. The flowers I added are from Marianne D Mixed Paper Flowers Christmas. I added a tiny brad and a spacer in the middle of each flower. The tree is from Marianne D Creatables. And the sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps, and so is the matching die. As an accent I added some Pistachio Green Flat Backed Pearls near the image.

Below you can see a close up of the image...

Have a wonderful day now! And hey... check out the Christmas Shop at Bunny Zoe's Crafts, as you have 15 % off on anything in there.

I coloured them with Distress Inks. As background papers I used the beautiful 6x6 Carta Bella papers Beautiful Moments. I decorated my card with red paper roses and some red heart pins.
