Julie's Smile



Today I am bringing to you another New Release from High Hopes called Julie's Smile!  Isn't the fairy collection just adorable!  I also used the image Julie's Butterfly for the Butterfly Strip down the left side of the card

I made this card for a very special family!  Many of you know that my husband recently became ill.  My daughter wanted to do something special for her dad and since we are a softball family, she approached a parent on the team who has some seats to the Blue Jay's games!  Well they offered her a pair of tickets for a game against the NY Yankees!  So my daughter took my husband out for a bonding night to the game on May 4th!!

The Copic Markers that I used for this project are;


Skin E21, E11, E51, E04

Hair E30, YR31, E33, E35

Wings/dress/butterflies
    R22, R24, R27
    BG32, BG15, BG09
    W9, W7, W5
Eyes BG49, BG45, B00
Background YR00, YR000, YR0000
    Tim Holtz Tumbled Glass


The paper that I used for this project was all in my stash!  I just used some plain paper (unpatterned).  The additional embellishments were from Make It Crafty for the Scripty Thank You and the Butterfly and Dragon Fly on the actual card.

I am entering this card into the following challenges;

High Hopes - May Challenge - Anything Goes
Join Us! - It runs through 7pm EST Thursday, May 31st.

I hope you join me again next week when I have a new release to share with you!  I can't wait!

Julie's Moment, Julie's Butterfly

                              Happy Thursday High Hopes Fans! 

Today I am sharing Julie's MomentJulie's Butterfly and a sentiment from the Sentiment #2 set from the Fairies and Adventurers new release. 

This release has so many fun fairies, sentiments and "extras" it has been fun to try to find ways to combine so many different elements! 

                                                  Donna


My images are stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I pre stamped the butterfly antenna's and tail on the edge of my circle. I stamped the butterfly twice, coloured and then fussy cut the body & wings and glued them to the "base" I had stamped. The second set of wings were fussy cut, glued at the body and popped up with a few pop dots. 
I added dots around the circle edge with a black Zig Memory System pen.

Julie's Wish - Make A Wish!

Hello - MichelleO here and today I have a card with another one of the new release images. These Fairy images are so fun to color and make cards with!

This is Julie's Wish


 Pretty little Fairy isn't she? She pairs up with the sentiment Make a Wish from the Sentiment Set #1

My papers are from Simple Stories Vintage Bliss collection - nice colors - I colored Julie's Wish to match with my Copics, colors below, then I added stickles for the sparkle that all fairies have to have.

She is cut out with a Nestie - then all the layers are sewed down.

The colors of Copics used -


So many fun images this release! It is a great new release - you can see all the new release here -

Gabriel's A Border!

Another new release image!

Oh my goodness, this new release is so exciting! Last week we did "sneak peeks" but now all the images are live in the High Hopes Stamps online store! I am loving all of the stamps aren't you? Today I am sharing with you "Gabriel's A Border". I just love this guy and you can see the pure happiness on his face from his smile!


One of my favourite Winter colour schemes is blue and brown so I knew I had to make this card using Bo Bunny's Powder Mountain collection! It's an older collection but perfect for this card. I coloured Gabriel with my Copic Sketch markers in colours to coordinate with the design papers. 


On the inside I used a stamp from the Sentiment Set #1 (U500) and embossed the inked image with clear embossing powder.

Copics used:
Skin: E00, E11, R20
Hair: E43, E44, E47
Blue items: B91, B93, B95, B97
Grey items: C1, C3, C5
Beige items: E30, E31, E33
Air swooshes: B000


I used these ticket stubs from my stash and added a triple looped bow to them. I also added some small flower sequins to the image to look like snowflakes.

You can find our May Anything Goes Challenge here! All you need to do is make project using High Hopes Stamps. If you don't have a HH stamp feel free to use our free digi!

Hope to see you next week!
