High Hopes Stamps,a Color Challenge & Whip it out Wednesdays!

Well... I thought I would start a new idea on Wednesdays

called "Whip it out Wednesdays." I want to Whip out a stamp set or stamps that I have never used or have not used in a long time and make something with them. Don't we all have those stamps that we buy and just don't seem to get around to using. Well, that is what Wednesdays are for! I whipped out these darling stamps from High Hopes. I had 'em in a drawer and here they are... on my card! I used SCS color challenge 221 and this really cute folded flap card. The colors were riding hood red, kiwi kiss and tangerine tango. As much as I loved the in colors this year... I CANNOT wait for the new ones!!! I showed 3 photos so that you could see how cute this card is, it was really easy to make

and I LOVE fun folds, so this was right up my alley!

It was SOOO easy to make this card and do all of the scoring with my awesome Scor-Pal! I used gamsol and faber castel pencils to color these darling images and then I added

SHIMMERZ because... I LOVE that stuff! I tied the card closed with the Kiwi Kiss and Vanilla ribbon from SU.

On the inside of this card, I used this super cute octopus and added SHIMMERZ to him too! For the front flap of the card, I used a SU set from the mini and the scallop oval punch! Love that punch... perfect size for sentiments and makes layering a BREEZE!

I used a pop dot to raise it up and there is my card.

If you want to Whip out any old stamp sets and

show them some love, please link your creation here so we can all oogle it. If this catches on... we can have a Whip it out Wednesday showcase as well! thanks for stopping by and get ready,get set...WHIP IT OUT!

DRS is Popping Up All Over The Place!

I made this super fun card using stamps from DRS. This one is really pretty simple for me! I did NO coloring on this card! And I have not done that in a LONG time! I stamped the popcorn box image (H920) in yellow. Then I stamped the sentiment(H924) in black right on top of the sentiment! I really loved the way it turned out! I love when I think something will look cool in my head and then it DOES in real life!!! I followed the directions for this pop up card that can be found on SplitCoastStampers and used my trusty Scor-Pal to make this card go SOOOO fast! For the adhesive on the base I reccomend Scor tape or red line tape. It is super sticky and double sided... and that is gonna be what ya need! I added the yellow ribbon and here is my creation! The best parts are that this card folds flat for mailing, it is not bulky so it mails perfectly and fits an A-2 envie! Yeah!!! I hope that you enjoyed this card and thanks for POPPING over!!!(LOL)

Why does this Fairy have a Lantern?

Because it is easier to see the Easter Eggs that she is looking ... that's why! The DT for Paper Makeup had a challenge and it was to use a Paper Makeup image and make a treat container for Easter. No Problem! I used this darling little fairy, Jaina, and colored her with blue and brown copic markers. I used SHIMMERZ on her wings and lantern because they just need the glitz that SHIMMERZ has! Then I used my nesties to cut out the brown mounting panel and the panel that she was on. I used my handy dandy Scor-Pal to make this precious gable box and I will be filling it with treats for my Easter Dinner Hostess! Making the gable box was a snap and took me about 2 minutes to do... so they would be easy to make a bunch of them for Easter! Please check out Paper Makeup to see what the other terrific Design Team members have created! I hope that you will get some wonderful inspiration from them! Happy Easter, Y'all!

High Hopes Bunny Belly Band Card

Oh, I love High Hopes Stamps! I love to color and these stamps let you do just that! I got this bunny stamp a while ago and I stamped and colored it and I just found it kinds laying around, abandoned! So I got out my handy dandy Scor-Pal and made a gate fold card with a belly band and slapped this little guy on there! He sure does make me feel happy for a Friday! He also makes me think of my Aunt Bunny, who also makes me smile because... no matter what... she is ALWAYS happy!!! I used Gamsol and Faber Castel pencils and colored him in and of course, I added SHIMMERZ to the egg! It always adds the right touch! I cut the ovals with my trusty Nesties and here is my card! Happy Friday and try to smile today... no matter what!
