Nellie Snellen - Hoppie's Little Sailor

When I do my work I always stamp my images, then color them up, and then look to my paper stash to find the perfect paper. I found this red white and blue paper and knew it was the one.  I got this sheet from  6x6 Project Life - Beck Higgins - High Five Edition paper pad.
I used 110lb white coverstock for the base and the created top folding 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card. I cut the stiped piece to match and adhered it to the base.

I stamped the image on 110lb coverstock and colored the stamped image using the following color guide.

Once the image was colored I cut the image ensure the bunny was on the right hand side and cut the piece to measure 3 5/8" wide by 41/4" high.  I used crimson red card stock to create the border. I cut the red cardstock 3 7/8" by 4 1/2". I had a red "Thank you!" wood element which I used as my sentiment.

Nellie Snellen - Schoffie's Skipping

For this card I used a large piece of 110lb white card stock and stamped the image in the center. I then stamped the image a second time but this time on Inkadinkadoo Stamping Mask paper. I then fussy cut around the image as closely as possible and then covered the card image using the mask and used Tim Holtz Weathered Wood Ink to color the background. I then colored my Schoffie's skipping image using the following color chart:

I then cut a Yellow Base using Bazzil Yellow 4 1/4" by 5 1/2" which I pasted to a 110lb card base with top fold. I then cut a piece of patterned paper Hip Hip Hooray by American Crafts 4 1/4" by 5". I pasted this piece to the center of the card leaving a 1/4" gap on the top and bottom.

I cut the colored image to 3" by 5 1/4" and added foam to the back and adhered to the card.

I used the left over patterned paper piece and fussy cut more word tags to decorate the top, When cutting the words I made sure to leave a little white frame around each word. I used Glossy Accents on 3 of the words to add extra detail and adhered them directly to the colored piece.

Nellie Snellen - Young Rebels - Revolver Hero

I've come to really enjoy getting my hands on a great Nellie Snellen stamp here and there. They are all very cute and fun to color. 

I cut a piece of red striped paper to 4 1/4" by 5 1/2" for the background, which I pasted to a 110lb white cardstock left side folding card base

For this card I stamped the image on 110lb cardstock and colored using the the following color chart :

Belt : E44 E47

Boots : Y15 Y28

Soles : N6 N7 N9

Hat and Chaps : E31 E53 E44

I used a 3" square nestling die to cut out the image.  I then used same 3 inch square die and another 3 1/2" square nestling die to create the dark red frame. I pasted the red frame titled directly to the card and added foam to the base of the colored stamped image. 

I cut a piece of the same red cardstock cut to 3 1/8 " by 1" to create the base for the sentiment.  I then stamped "Happy Birthday" by Stampabilities called Happy Birthday #1 using my Stampin' Up Cherry Cobbler ink pad. I cut the piece to 7/8" by 2 7/8". I added foam and pasted this to the card base.

I used a piece on 1/4" wide twill ribbon and tied it into a bow... I cut the ends long and tied a knot at each end. I used Scor tape to adhere the bow to the card.
