A Merry Little Snowlady

Christmas in July is a great way to get a start on all of those Christmas cards that we always say we will make early, and then come late November we suddenly realize we don't have enough cards once again.  This week for One Crazy Stamper I have colored up the adorable Snowlady Surprise from High Hopes Rubber stamps.

The image was stamped on Copic Xpress It cardstock with Memento ink and then colored with Copic sketch markers.  To add further dimension to the image I added Prismacolor pencils to the shadows and highlights, and blended it out with Gamsol.  Echo Park's Hello Winter paper is the card base, and the sentiment is from my stash - an old Waltzing Mouse stamp.

'Twas the Night Before Christmas!

Welcome OCS Fans;

As we are halfway through the year, now is the time to get a start on Christmas cards.  The Design Teams Divas on the High Hopes and One Crazy Stamper Blogs will be sharing "Christmas in July" inspiration to you all month!

For my first Christmas card, I used this cute stamp called Here Comes Santa from High Hopes Stamps.  It is a CAS card as the design paper was a perfect match for it.  The paper is from  Echo Park's 'Twas the Night Before Christmas which was released last year, which I thought matched perfectly.  It is also my favourite Christmas poem.

I coloured the image with  copic markers and used some Prismacolor pencils to add some shading.
The image was fuzzy cut and three light bulbs were added as embellishments.  Nuvo's Snow Glow Sparkle Dust was used to add some glitter to Santa.  The Sparkle & Cheer sentiment was added to the inside of the card.

Our Home and Native Land!

Oh Canada our home and native land......in a few short weeks we here in Canada will be celebrating the birth of our nation, and like everyone else in this fabulous world of scrap booking and card making I immediately fell in love with Photo Play's O'Canada paper line.  Of course I had to find the perfect image to go with the paper and High Hopes rubber stamp Mountie Marc fit the bill perfectly!!

The image was stamped onto Copic Xpress It cardstock with My Favorite Things Black Licorice hybrid ink, and then colored with Copics and Prismacolor pencils.  Wink of Stella gold was used on the buttons and belt buckle to add a hint of sparkle. The card front features the wonderful Photo Play paper and a matching sticker, to which I added the colored image after it was fussy cut.

It's a Black and White Kind of Day

It's been one of those weeks and so for today's card I decided to challenge myself to an all black and white card - something I try to do at least once a year. I think this one turned out great!!

This sweet image is "Wizarding Gnome" from the A Magical Day release at High Hopes stamps.  I stamped the image on Copic Xpress It cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and then colored it with Copics and Prismacolor pencils.  The stars and glitter were colored with a Sakura Clear glitter pen and then I added Wink of Stella silver to the larger stars.  The star flourish is an oldie from Memory Box and the frame is an unknown brand.  The sentiment is from the same release and is available here.

Fluffle Hugs!!!

Did you know that a group of bunnies is called a Fluffle?  Seemed fitting for this card to be entitled Fluffle Hugs!  I decided to make a fluffle of bunnies using the High Hopes Rubber stamp image "Flop Eared Rabbit (H013), by masking and stamping the image five times.  Gotta love fluffles!!

After the image was grouped together I colored them with Copic markers, and then added depth and highlights with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol.  I then fussy cut the fluffle, and placed it on to a card front with a clear acetate panel, showcasing the patterned paper on the inside of the card.  The stamped sentiment is from one of my Stamping Bella images, and HUGS was cut with a My Favorite Things die.
