Happy

I hope you have enjoyed meeting the Darling Diva's from High Hopes this month. For me it has been a challenge to choose a favourite because I like them all! 
I have one last cutie to share with you this month - tomorrow is a new month - Yikes!! My post for today features Ella and Chi Chi.  I walk my dog twice a day and I love this time of year. My neighbours are all planting flowers and it makes me happy to walk around and see all of the different colours combinations people come up with. My dog Moe often has his nose in the air like Chi Chi smelling the fresh scents of Spring!



I decided to use some bright, fun paper from the Bo Bunny Believe collection - the colours remind me of Spring. I only used half of the Happy Thoughts sentiment - Ella sure does look happy doesn't she?! 
The image is coloured with alcohol markers and cut out using a stitched oval die. A few flowers with some Crystal Stickles in the middle for a bit of bling and a sparkly gumdrop finish off my card. I also added some bling to her earring and bracelet with some Silver Wink of Stella.

Beautiful Day

Happy Wednesday OCS Fans! 

I had the honour of meeting up with a fellow DT member this past Saturday. It is was awesome to be able to meet up, have a coffee and catch up. We traded some fun gifty things and since we met at OCS, of course we had to do a little shopping. "N" is my favourite shopping stalker and it is easy to chat and shop in the relaxed environment that Lora has created in the OCS store.

Ginger reminds me of "N" with her dark hair and her beautiful smile - she is holding a coffee cup so...what's not to love about this cutie!?! 



My card layout is based on this month's challenge sketch. After colouring my image with alcohol markers I cut her out using a stitched rectangle die. After playing around to find the perfect patterned paper combination I cut each piece out to match the sketch. The sentiment was stamped and cut out using a stitch and piercing mark die. A flower, some "greenery" and glittery gumdrops were the finishing touches for my card.

Card Recipe 
Stamps: Ginger - High Hopes Rubber Stamps
Sentiment: Have A Beautiful Day - High Hopes Rubber Stamps
Patterned Paper: Bella Rose Collection - Bo Bunny 
 Tuxedo Black ink - MementoMistiwhite gelly roll pen, Holiday Greens mini die - Sizzix, Best Glue Ever - ScraPerfect, Circles with Stitching and Pierce Makers - YNS, Flower - Recollections, Candy Land Glittered gumdrops - YNS

Hello Sunshine

Welcome back OCS fans;

Hope you all enjoyed the extra day off work.  Yesterday, being Victoria Day was a holiday thus extending the weekend.  Even though the weather wasn't the greatest, this is the weekend that people will open their cottages for the summer.

The OCS Divas are showcasing the latest release from High Hopes Stamps called "Darling Divas".  For today's card, I used the adorable "AnnaLee".  My initial plans for this card changed when I started colouring it up as the original paper choice did not match the colours that I used.

Supplies used:
Do join this month's "Anything Goes" challenge for a chance to win 2 unmounted High Hopes Stamps of your choice.  If you need some inspiration we have a sketch that you can follow.

If you need any supplies do check out Lora's OCS online store as well as the brick & mortar store.  Lora, has some great products with amazing prices available.

Until next time, happy crafty.

CAS Smiles

Welcome Back OCS Fans! 

This week I decided to challenge myself just to shake things up a little in my crafty world. I have alot of patterned paper - yes it's an addiction - but I also have alot of little pieces -you know the ones that are trimmed off an edge of a sheet and you just can't bear to throw it out - gasp! 

My challenge was to use some of these smaller pieces as well as create a CAS (clean and simple) card. Double whammy and challenge accepted! I decided that "Blossom" from the new Darling Diva's release at High Hopes would be perfect for my card. 



To start this card I cut out my white background using a stitched square die. The stitched scallop border edge was cut next using a die. I used my Misti to place the stamp and sentiment in the perfect spot and inked away - LOVE my Misti! After colouring my stamp with alcohol markers I added the patterned paper edge.  I used a brown marker to add some freckles to puppy's cheeks and some sparkly Stickles on the heart and dress collar give me a touch of bling. 
All of this was mounted on some cardstock and voila - double challenge met...I think...

Card Recipe 
Stamps: Blossom  - High Hopes Rubber Stamps
Sentiment: Sending Smiles - High Hopes Rubber Stamps
Patterned Paper: Spring - Echo Park
 Tuxedo Black ink - MementoMisti, Crystal Stickles, white gelly roll pen, My Creative Time die, Stitched Rectangle die - YNS, brown marker to add puppy freckles

Happy Birthday

Welcome OCS fans to another crazy Tuesday.  At last the sun is out and it is getting warmer, which is a nice change from all the rain that we have had lately.

For today's card, I used the Darling Ella & Chi Chi from High Hopes Stamps latest release called "Darling Divas". I'm thinking I should have done  something slightly different with the Ribbon Threading Die, but I'm not sure what.  I shall play around with it again for next week.

Supplies used:
As we would love to see what you create, do enter this month's "Anything Goes" challenge for a chance to win 2 unmounted High Hopes Stamps of your choice.

Until next time, Happy Crafting.
