Kate by Sherry Eckblad

Hello Ai Fans!

Sherry here today sharing a card that I created using one of my newest Ai purchases. I can even enter this card into our current challenge which is "what's new".

Meet Kate!

Copics Used: N0, R30, R20

I just think she is absolutely adorable and even better is that my goddaughters name is Kate so I am going to send this card to her.

This was a really fun image to color and as you can see from above I only used 3 Copic Markers and everything else is paper pieced. Which is also my favorite technique to use. What is your favorite technique to use when card making?

Well that is it for me today. I will be back tomorrow along with the rest of the design team when we introduce a new challenge.

Sitting Polars Thanks by Sherry Eckblad

Hello and Happy New Year!

Have you played along with our current challenge yet?

I needed a couple of Thank You cards for gifts received this holiday season and my "NEW" Sitting Polars stamp set was just perfect.

I created a mask using some frisket film so I could blend the distress ink around the polar bear image to create the illusion of sky behind them.

After I had colored the image with copic markers I cut out 3 of the thanks die and glued them together for some added dimension and then I used some more of the distress ink to create an ombre effect on the letters.

I can't wait to see what you create using something new.

Thanks for stopping by and happy stamping!

Top 3 of 2014 by Sherry Eckblad

Hello Ai Fans!

This week the Ai Design Team is sharing with you our top 3 favorite cards from the past year.

This was so hard for me to choose just 3 because each card I make becomes a favorite.

Okay so here goes in no particular order.

One of my first cards as a member of the Ai Design Team Yoga Yolanda.

My second choice is Hog Wild Birthday I love making shaker cards and have done several this year.

Finally my third choice...Birthday Couple. They just make me happy!

That is it for me and my favorites. I could go on and on but Kate said we can only pick three.

Happy Holidays and Happy Stamping!

Good Tidings - by Sherry Eckblad

Hello Ai Fans!

Sherry here today sharing with you once again one of my all time favorite Ai images.

Meet Polar Phil.

(Copics used: N0, YG03, YG13, R30)

I love how quickly this image can be colored and with the addition of a few more things your card is complete. 

I made the frames using my Silhouette Cameo. I found this card layout on a blog while surfing the internet but can't remember who's blog it is from.

I will be back next Wednesday sharing another card I created using this same image.

Happy Stamping!

Merry Merry Merry by Sherry Eckblad

Hello Ai Fans!

Sherry here today sharing with you a card I created using one of my FAVORITE stamps!

I think I love polar bears just as much as I love snowmen.

Meet Polar Phil!

(Copics used: N0, R20, YG05, YG13, YG23)

To create this card I used my distress inks to create a background panel then I put some water in the palm of my hand and dropped it onto the panel. I let it sit there just a couple seconds and then dried any remaining water using a paper towel.

Next up I ripped some white cardstock to create the snowy hills and then stamped my sentiment Polar Christmas Sku#4085 to the right. I adhered the mod tree and lastly I put foam adhesive on the hills and Polar Phil and adhered them to the card.

Quick and Easy! My favorite kind of holiday card to make.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Stamping.
