Card Kits #25 & #26

We are just days away from Scrapfest in Kitchener, Ontario (April 13 & 14), so I wanted to share the final two card kits that will be available in the One Crazy Stamper booth.  Kit #25 is one of my all-time favourite Card Kits featuring Winter Moose RR019 and merry Christmoose G142 from High Hopes Rubber Stamps!

 This card has such a classic Canadian Christmas feel to it!  I've coloured his hat & scarf to mimic a buffalo plaid (just like our Olympic team!) and tucked in a few sprigs of greenery.  The sentiment is raised up on pop dots. The Card Kits contain all the pieces to put together four cards, including all of the cut paper, card bases & envelopes.  What you need to provide is black ink, the colouring method of your choice, and adhesives.  There is a full colour instruction sheet that includes a photo, step-by-step instructions including a list of the Copic colours that are used in the sample, and all of the cutting measurements so that you can make more cards using your own supplies later.  The kit contains both the image and sentiment as unmounted red rubber stamps - so you'll want to pick up some EZ Mount adhesive cushion from the OCS store as well.

 Now this is something that I'm very excited about!!  Welcome to our first ever OCS Quick Kit! - Card Kit #26.  Like the other kits, you get all the cut pieces, die cuts, card bases & envelopes to put together four cards - along with the Cookies & Cocoa Script H096 sentiment stamp from High Hopes Rubber Stamps.  *The main difference being that there is no image to colour.  Just stamp the sentiment on the four white ovals in the kit, and you can have all four cards assembled within half an hour.  Who doesn't need a few quick Christmas cards?  And of course, you'll get all of the instructions and measurements to make a bunch more with your own supplies.
*If you can't make it to Scrapfest, any remaining kits will be available in the store after the show. Happy Stamping!

Card Kit #24

Today I am sharing the 3rd of five new festive themed card kits that will be available next weekend at Scrapfest in Kitchener (April 13th & 14th) at the One Crazy Stamper booth.  We all want to make hedgehog cards for Christmas (of course!) so today's kit is just the thing - here is Happy Mail SS002 and Dot Warm Winter Wishes H257 both from High Hopes Rubber Stamps:

I love the rustic feel of this!

New OCS Card Kits

Happy Easter!!  I am up on the One Crazy Stamper blog today with a guest post to share one of the new Card Kits that will be available at Scrapfest in Kitchener, Ontario - April 13th & 14th... and possibly on the OCS website if there are any left after the show.  Everybody always wants to get a head start on their Christmas cards, so this year we've got 5 festive kits that will get you adding to your stash early in the year.  Here is Card Kit #22 featuring Santa's List R154 and Naughty List JJ004 from High Hopes Rubber Stamps:

This sentiment is an all-time favourite of mine!  Can't you think of a dozen friends that this would be perfect for?  The Card Kits contain all the pieces to put together four cards, including all of the cut paper, die cut snowflakes, card bases & envelopes.  What you need to provide is black ink, the colouring method of your choice, and adhesives.  There is a full colour instruction sheet that includes a photo, step-by-step instructions including a list of the Copic colours that are used in the sample, and all of the cutting measurements so that you can make more cards using your own supplies later.  The kit contains both the image and sentiment as unmounted red rubber stamps - so you'll want to pick up some EZ Mount adhesive cushion from the OCS store as well.
     *In this particular kit, you will get supplies to make two cards as shown, and two cards will have the background papers switched, with the stripe being the larger piece on top.  Quantities are limited, so be sure to hit the One Crazy Stamper booth at Scrapfest (I've had a sneak peek to see what Lora is bringing to the show - you'll want to stop by for sure!!).  Come back and visit the blog, as I'll be sharing the rest of the Card Kits over the next few weeks.  Happy stamping!

Happy Penguin card

Hello everyone!  I am sliding in a guest post over on the One Crazy Stamper blog just before Christmas with a card featuring my two favourite High Hopes stamps!  I made four of these up this afternoon, and have pieces cut and ready to assemble four more.  Here is Happy Penguin #PP002 and that funky little tree Simple Winter Tree #RR021 :

 I used Copic markers to colour the penguin and the tree on the right, the others were paper pieced.  I used pop dots to raise the penguin up a little and added some snowflake die cuts.

 A few weeks ago, I made a tag that I just adored, and it was my inspiration for making up the cards.  Since my cards have all been sent out this year, these are the first of my 2018 stash!  Have a very Merry Christmas!

A new Card Kit!

Hello everyone!  Hope you're enjoying a crafty Saturday :o)  I have the latest OCS Card Kit ( #21 ) to share, but first an ad - if you're in the Bolton area, stop by the One Crazy Stamper store today, there is a Garage Sale going on!  Gently used or (a ton of) never before used products are up for grabs at some amazing prices.  First come first served - bring some cash with you!

And now for the newest card kit... Here is Polar Sleigh RR006 from High Hopes Rubber Stamps:

He is a little different from our other card kits - as you'll be creating a little scene.  Everything you need to create four cards is included in the kit - card bases & envelopes, cut pieces and stamps.  You need some ink, adhesive, pop dots and the colouring medium of your choice to complete them.  The stamps are unmounted rubber, so you'll want to pick up some EZ Mount stamp cushion if you don't have any at home.  The sentiment is Think Snow 2 - also included.  You'll get a full colour instruction sheet including Copic colouring suggestions.  These are available right now in the OCS store here!  And if you're heading to the Creative Festival in Toronto next weekend - you can grab a few card kits there at the booth.  Happy stamping!

Last two Card Kits

Oh my, these are the cutest little elf images from the most recent High Hopes release!  I couldn't resist making them into card kits with some wonderful traditional red & green papers.  Here is Card Kit #19 with Elvin Eldar RR014 and Sm Christmas Script F051:

 And here is my favourite - Card Kit #20 using Alvin Elvin RR010 with Have your Elf H094 as the sentiment:

 These kits have me feeling so festive!  Each kit contains card bases, envelopes, rubber stamps and all of the cut pieces shown here to put together four identical cards as shown.  A full colour instruction sheet is included along with Copic marker colour suggestions - although you can colour them with whatever medium & colours that you choose.  The instructions also include all of the cut measurements so that you can make more cards using whatever papers you have on hand.  The best part?  You'll have four cards made up in no time, and the stamps are yours to keep.  You'll see all six of the current card kits here in the One Crazy Stamper online store.  Stay tuned... I *may* be working on some new ones!  Happy stamping!

More OCS Card Kits

Well the weather where I live has finally settled into some fall-like temperatures, so it's the perfect time to settle into your craft room and get started on your Christmas cards!  One Crazy Stamper has six new card kits to get you started - I am going to share two new ones with you today.  Here is Card Kit #17 featuring Little Drummer Boy & Friends RR015 with the sentiment Pa Rum Pa Pum Pum H090 both from High Hopes Rubber Stamps:

Bunny Blossoms

I've had such fun making spring cards with the latest High Hopes release - they're such sweet images to colour!  I am sharing Bunny Blossoms TT114 coloured in Copic Markers, with Some Bunny Loves You HH055.

After stamping the sentiment, I coloured the border in with coordinating markers used in my image, then fussy cut around the edge, and adhering it with pop dots.  I've used a strip of the pretty Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid Rainbow papers, and the pink watercolour look background paper is from the Lawn Fawn Watercolor Wishes pack.  The gumdrops are from Your Next Stamp.  Click on my links and you'll find everything in the OCS store - happy stamping!

Copic markers used: BV02, BV01, BV00, RV15, RV14, RV13, YG03, YG01, YG00, R32, R30, C1, E57, E55, E53, E51

High Hopes Garden Lamb

I can't get enough of these pretty plaids and gorgeous spring colours!  Today I have Garden Lamb TT119 from the new High Hopes release, with the sentiment: Spring is in the Air HH059:

Willow

I hope you're all enjoying the newest High Hopes release as much as I am!  I was totally inspired by these pretty new Lawn Fawn plaid papers that I found in the One Crazy Stamper store - and coloured sweet Willow TT122 to match:

 The sentiment is Life in Bloom GG021, also from High Hopes.

Sweet Adrianna

You may have seen this over on One Crazy Stamper already.  This was the card we made at a class I taught on "Colouring Pleats & Folds with Copic Markers" in March.  This was the perfect image!  Lora, the owner of High Hopes Rubber Stamps, had her drawn up especially for the class, and she is part of the April 1st new release by High Hopes.  Here is Adrianna TT113:

Not only was she great for learning to colour pleats & folds, but it was a great chance to practise colouring hair.  The sentiment is Hello Sunshine HH057 - also part of the new HH release.  You can find them both in the One Crazy Stamper store.

Funny, but as I'm writing my post and looking at my card, I realize that I haven't coloured the berries on his hat!!  Off to fix that now...
