Happy New Year! -- High Hopes Stamps

Hi there, just a few more days to a brand new year!

Welcome 2016 I'm ready for you :)

This card was created using High Hopes Under the Mistletoe found here!

I got rid of the mistletoe and changed the stamp from a Christmas Design to a New Years Image.

The image is coloured with Copics and Pearl's dress has the look of sequences by dabbing various colours of Copics on her outfit.

The foil elements on the card were created with Heidi Swapp's mini Minc found here

Touches of confetti were added to the card for some fun details and silver Stickles too.

Do you have any crafty New Year's resolutions for 2016?

For me it's setting aside extra time to create and of course keeping my craft room organized. Since I've been off of work this month I have my craft room totally organized. My Husband tells me he will come back to check it out in a few days as he know it will be upside down and totally messy by then. (As this is usually what happens!)

So it's a goal and I will try my best to get organized :)

Thanks for peeking! Wishing you all the best in 2016

Coloured with the following Copics above!

Merry Christmas -- High Hopes Stamps

Hi There, I'm back again with one last card before Christmas!

Using a side step card I created a Winter scene complete with my Favorite Snowmen and reindeer too!

Sleigh Ride from High Hopes can be found here

This little cutie is coloured with Copics, Added Cotton balls for some snowy details and

white acrylic paint. The sentiment was a gift from a friend which I love!!! Thanks Jane :)

I tried to keep the colours in the Blue and brown theme as the non traditional colours is a nice change from Red and Green.

Thanks for looking.

Merry Christmas to you!

Lil Snowbird -- Snow globe High Hopes Stamps.

Hi There, I'm back with a few last minute projects I created just before the big day!!

I made a few handmade snow globes using High Hopes Lil Snowbird found here.

Espresso jars were used for the snow globe and filed with glittery mesh material, white bottle brush trees, silver pipe cleansers and other Winter goodies.

The sides of the jar were painted with white acrylic paint and touches were added to the bells and tinsel on the top of the jar. Also a mini chalkboard was added to the top were a note or name written for a personal touch.

Lights which run on a battery and the battery pack was adhered to the back of the jar with Velcro.

The jars are fairly easy to make I think the hardest part is positioning the image and trees inside the jar.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!

Happy Wednesday! Thanks for stopping by today as I created a little tag to share :)

I call it ... In the meadow we can build a snowman!

Yep I have frosty on my mind.

I used the Swiss dots embossing folder and touches of white acrylic paint for a snowy look.

The tag reinforcement circle was created with a red Copic marker creating a plaid design to match the bow.

Hi there, Its Nat and I'm back on another Wednesday to share a little card with you.

This is a very happy Wednesday for me as today is my last day of work until the new year!!!

Okay, lets get down to business and talk about this Santa. Does he not look like he's taking a Selfie or two or three??

This jolly old Saint Nick is from High Hopes called Three pane Santa found here

I decided to add mini pom pom's to the three panes and some sweet little dimples using a Sharpie White Poster Pen that I picked up last time I was at One Crazy Stamper.

It's a no frills card, more on the masculine side and I think hubby would enjoy this one for sure!!

Page Pals -- High Hopes Stamps

Happy December 1st . I've been busy creating some Christmas Page Pals which are basically bookmarks with a Christmas Theme!

I decided to use some non traditional colours and the background snowflake paper inspired the theme for this project. The bookmark cut is from the Cricut craft room and was a freebie for this week. It would be easy enough to make you own with a scallop die or fancy scissors and some paper folds.

The snowman are coordinated with the base and twine for a uniformed look.

This was a super fun project and these sweeties make me smile.
