Get well sOOn by Nina

Hello sweet fans, Nina here sharing a cute Get Well Soon Slimline card. It is for the current challenge "Dynamic Duo" where we are challenged to create a project using two sets from Art Impressions collections. Today I used Better Soon Set and Health Mini Dies along with Slimline card Dies.

I stamped the patient's image from Better Soon Set and colored it with Copic markers and backed it with foam tape.

Copic Shades I used:

Browns: E99 - E27 - E29

Greys: C4 - C3 - C2 - C0

Teal: BG10 - BG 13 - BG15

Skin: E11 - E13

Reds: R27 E29

For the background I die cut the panel from Stitched Slimline Dies set and then made the two oval opening using an oval stitched die.

I die cut the needle and stethoscope from the Health Mini Die set from white cardstock and colored them using the same Copic shades. I also die cut the S & N letters and colored them with red shades and glued them before and after the oval openings to read the word "soon".

I then placed the panel on the card base, colored the openings with teal shades.  and used mini letter stickers to write Get Well phrase.

I cut a strip from light pink color to be the floor and die cut its edges with the same stitched die that I used for the background to have continuous stitches with the background. I glued the floor then the patient image on top.

Hello Ai fans!
This is a card that I've been so excited to share.  My son loves The Beatles and this was his birthday card.  I used several Art Impressions sets to make this.



My color inspiration came from this artwork that I found online.

I printed all 4 of the Beatle faces to put inside the sub.
The sub is from the newer 5397 – Submarine Cubbies set.

The bottom half of my card was modeled after the artwork from Ringo's book.



I just love ocean themed cards and this one was extra special because I customized it for my son.

My card fits perfectly with the Art Impressions Oceans of Fun challenge!  Be sure to join in to win free stamps!

The octopus was a freebie.  You can earn a freebie every time you order $30 of more from Art Impressions.

His crown comes from the 5390 – Mini Accents 2.
The ocean floor has several Mini Die sets on it.

I used the 5325 – Sail Mini Dies for the anchor, 

the 5332 – Health Mini Dies for the sea urchin (I cut the ends of the germ to make it) and I used the 5329 – Beach Mini Dies for some of the seashells.

I decorated the inside of the card with one of the Cubbie sentiments and more of the fish.

My son loved this!

Copics used:

Paw-some Vet by Bri Firth

Hi everyone! Today I am sharing my creation for Art Impressions "To Die For" challenge. For more information on this challenge check out the announcement here. This creation is a perfect thank you card idea for a paw-some veterinarian. I decided to use the mini dies in a unique way: to create masks for ink blending. This card is also featured on my personal blog, check it out here! 

I used the Cat and Dog Mini Die Sets and Gina K. Designs Masking Magic to create the animal masks. I arranged the masks on a piece of white cardstock and ink blended over them with Distress Oxide ink. I used plain water to create the water droplet look. 

I die cut the stethoscope die from the Health Mini Die Set with purple and grey cardstock. I trimmed the purple die cut to look like the rubber over top of the metal parts of the image. To finish the card I heat embossed the sentiment "You're Paw-some" in silver embossing powder. I layered the sentiment strip with purple cardstock. 

*Note: The sentiment is from the Lovable Animals stamp set. 

Check back next week for more Ai inspiration made by me!
