You Are My Significant Otter by Niccole Kulig

Hello Ai Fans!!

I am stopping by to share an Anniversary card I made for my husband.  Our Anniversary is not until July but I wanted to make sure I had it done.  I also wanted to show you that you don't to use themed stamp sets for that specific occasion; like this one from Art Impressions called  Valentine Critters stamp set but I am using it as an Anniversary card.  

  Isn't he just the cutest?? I started by using my Smoky Shadow card base.  I glued a piece of White trimmed down to 3.75"x5.5".  I stamped "to my significant OTTER" in black ink right on my white card base.

I stenciled on my white piece with some yellow ink and some red ink.  Doesn't it just radiate?  I think it really makes my OTTER pop.

I really wanted my OTTER to be the focal point so besides the radiating sunburst, I raised him up with an action wobbler. I finished it off with some red Nuvo drops. 

Once again here is a finished look at my OTTER card from the Valentine Critters stamp set.  I absolutely love how it turned out.  I made a second card with the OTTER lower and my sentiment on top, but I like it this way a lot better. 

Thank you so much for stopping by and spending a little time with me. Come back again soon!

Hello Ai friends and happy Monday!

 

Today I am sharing a card using one of the Ai Store Exclusives Sets. Here I used AiCS27- Love Birds. I tend to grab the fabulous main images in these sets and overlook the equally adorable smaller ones so this time I wanted to focus on the littles!

 

With Valentine's Day this month, I thought I would go with the "love" theme while it's still on our minds...February is almost over! This card would be great for an anniversary, though, any time of the year.

 

I embossed the black & white panels together with the "Love is patient, love is kind" verse from 1 Corinthians 13. Then I punched the heart out and adhered the panels to my card base. The birds were colored with Copics and popped up on the diecut leaves. How many of you still have bottles of paper flowers in your stash? Once in a while I still enjoy using them and they were perfect to use for an accent. I filled in the hearts and made a few small dots with a white pen.

 

Here's the inside of my card.

 

 

Have a great Monday and… happy stamping!

autumn anniversary by Diane Zechman

Hello Ai friends and happy Monday!

 

Today I am sharing a card using two Ai stamps from Hobby Lobby... 4920- Filled with Thanks (a new wood block) and a sentiment from AiCS27- Love Birds (clear set).

 

This fall image is part of the Windows to the World Collection and actually has some lovely words written around it.  I wanted to use it for an anniversary card, though, rather than a Thanksgiving one so I trimmed the words off.  This was colored with Copic markers and a few simple buttons finished it off.

 

Have a great Monday and… happy stamping!
