Diaper Bag Baby Card by Reneé Matarese

 Hello Ai fans!

Today I have a little experiment to share with you.
I was wanting to make a baby card for the Boy oh Boy! challenge
and I got the idea to use the tool bag as a diaper bag.

I'm pleased with how it turned out.

The die that cuts out the bag also cuts slits to place the tools in. The tools

are smaller than the baby items I included, so I cut some of the slits open

a little larger with a craft knife. It worked perectly.

I used the new silver paint to add accents to the bag and to paint

the pin so it would look more real.

So far, this card is for no one in particular. The only baby on the way

in my life is the next door neighbors daughter and she's having a girl.

I know it'll come in handy at some point though.

Enjoy your day!

Hello everyone! InLinkz/Linkdeli have been glitching on and off since last week. If you'd like to enter the challenge and you can't get your photo to upload, scroll down to the comments section. Paste a link to your project there. I'll count it just like as if you had uploaded your photo. When the random winner is selected I'll begin counting the comments in order received continuing on from the ones entered with photos through InLinkz. For example, right now, 2 people managed to get their photos uploaded. The first person to leave their link in the comments would be #3 and so forth. So sorry for the inconvenience. I hope they work things out soon.

This week Sharon is our Featured Artist and she made such a fun guy card!

 Hello AI Fans!

It's my turn to get to feature our new Challenge #434 Boy oh Boy! and we are looking for anything that is masculine themed. I really had fun making this one!!  If you've ever seen the show Nailed It!, you'll  know exactly what I was going for here. He needed to build a fence and he definitely nailed it, HAHA! 

 I started out stamping and coloring the images from #5406 Mr Set and #5503 Tool Bag & Die Set onto a Copic friendly paper. The Copic colors I used are listed below. I love that the dies are included with these sets as it makes it SO easy to create with them! 

I wanted to make a funky fence, so I actually grabbed a sign post die from my stash and cut them out of kraft colored cardstock and then inked the edges with some chalk ink. That gave me different shapes and sizes for the fence planks as well as the cross posts. 

I inked some clouds onto a piece of white cardstock, then die cut the grass and glued it to the base. 

That gives me everything I need to create my card, now I just need to place everything. 

To fit the tool bag onto the card without overwhelming it, I cut a piece off the bottom and left side. Here's one more look at the finished card. 

I hope I inspired you to pull out your masculine stamps and join our challenge! Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit today and I can't wait to see what you create!!

Copic colors used:

E000, 00, 11, 30, 31, 33, 35, 37, and 39

C1, 2, and 4

YR61, 65, and 68

YG91 and 93

Y32, 35, and 38

B91, 93, and 95

R20, 22, and 24

Okay, can I just say how CUTE that orange shirt is!

I knew Sharon was perfect for this challenge.

I hope you love her card as much as I do.
