So Much Joy by Niccole

Hello Ai fans!!

Happy Wednesday everyone.  I am here today to share a card I made using the Baby Boy set from Art Impressions.  I love this set ... it is so timeless, so classic.

 I started by coloring the bear.  I used my Copic markers.  I wanted to use primary colors for this one.  Usually you see pastel colors all the time for baby cards.  I wanted to shake things up a bit ... HAHA,  rebel I know. I fussy cut the bear out but decided I still wanted him on a white background.

I did not have the right color red for my card base so I used my Copic markers to make a base card. I used my middle shade of red, Copic color R37.  I trimmed my white piece, added it to my red base and glued on my bear.

From there I masked off the boy  in the sentiment and only stamped the "So much joy in this little" in black ink.  I used the solo stamp BOY and stamped it last.  I wanted it to stand out.  I used the same color Copics to color in the word "Boy" I finished the card off with some Nuvo Drops for some dimension.

Here is one more look at the finished card ...

Wouldn't it make a cute birthday card? Or even a card to send with a gift after the baby arrived? Or a just because card.  

Thank you so much for stopping by and spending some time with me today.  Please come back again soon and see what the Ai team has been up to.

Copics used:

Until next time ... Hugs & inky fingers!

Masculine Happy Birthday by Niccole

Hello Ai fans!!

I am stopping by today to share another card I made using the Baby Boy stamp set from Art Impressions. I wanted to show another masculine card. I love sets that are versatile.

I started by layering my card base with a white piece I used an embossing folder on.  I then layered a green strip across the center. I added the sentiment "Happy Birthday" in the top right on the green piece. The "Happy Birthday" sentiment is a stamp from the Meerkat set. I actually only used a portion of the stamp that says "Happy Birthday from the Meerkat".  I added a white strip in the center. 

I finished it by stamping three sailboats across the front. I Copic colored them with matching colors. I finished it off with yellow Nuvo Drops. 

Here is one more look at the finished card.  

I really like the polished look of it and how it could be really for any occasion for anyone from a young boy to an older gentleman just like the card I shared last week.I think we all probably need more masculine cards in our stash!  :-)

Copics used:

B12, B14, B16

Thank you so much for stopping by.  Please come back soon and see all of the wonderful creation by the Ai team!

Until next time ... Hugs & inky fingers!

Enjoy Your Day by Niccole

Hello Ai fans!!

I am stopping by today to share a card I made using the Baby Boy stamp set from Art Impressions. I wanted to show that this can also be used for a masculine card and not just a baby boy card.

I started by layering my card base with a white piece I used an embossing folder on.  I then layered a blue framed sentiment strip across the center with the sentiment "Enjoy the day" in the center. I finished it off with yellow Nuvo Drops.

From here I Copic colored four of my sailboats identically.  I fussy cut them out.  It's weird because sometimes I enjoy fussy cutting instead of dragging out my Scan N Cut.  I added a sailboat to each corner of my card with foam tape to give some dimension. 

Here is one more look at the finished card.  I really like the polished look of it and how it could be really for any occasion for anyone from a young boy to an older gentleman. 

What do you think of the card being masculine and not a "Welcome Baby" card.  I need more masculine cards in my stash!
