Dear Friends Like You by Niccole Kulig

Hello Ai fans!!

I am stopping by today to share a card I made using the 4761-Watering Can stamp set and the 5136-WC Sentiment Set 2. I wasn't quite sure where I was going but I love how it turned out.

I made two of them; one with a bow and the quilted embossing folder and one without a bow and the basket weaved embossing folder.  Not sure which one I like better.  Which one do you?

The Ai products I used were the 4761-Watering Can set and the 5136-WC Sentiment Set 2.  I also used the Marvy markers in 08-Violet and 15-Olive Green.

Here you can see a close up of the Marvy markers stamped onto vellum.  I stamped the flowers second generation; which means i stamped each on a piece of paper before stamping on the vellum.  It gives the flower color a softer color.

You can see I raised the background circle up with foam tape.  This is the circle with the sentiment on it.  The vellum circle is glued onto the white circle.  This is the one with the flowers stamped on it.

I finished them off with some sequins which are actually iridescence confetti. Which one is your favorite once you have seen them together? I think I like the one with the quilted background and the bow.

Thank you so much for spending some time with me and check back soon to see what I make next!

Front Porch Circlet by Niccole Kulig

Hello Ai Fans and Welcome!!

Happy Wednesday! Today I am sharing another Circlet card since it is the last day of Stripes and Circles challenge.

I used the Circle Double Stitch Dies for all my circles. I used a different pattern paper for each page. I also colored the middle circle of each set with my Marine Green Copic. I then die cut all of the shapes that are included with the Front Porch Circlet stamp and die set.

From here I glued all of the layers together. 

I made a flat 6x6 base to attach my card to.  All in all I used four different pattern papers for all of my layers.  In the picture above you can see the dimension to the different layers of the three circles.

I made a hinge with the three layers and glued them together so that it could open like a top folding card against the flat 6x6 card base.

I hope you  enjoy the card as much as I did making it.  They are really easy to put together with the coordinating stamp and die set.  These Circlets are very versatile and can be used in so many ways; I hope you grab yourself some.

Thank you so much for stopping by.
