Hope Your Day is Pand-tastic

Hi Ai fans!

This week I have two cards to share using the Pand-tastic stamp set. 

I stamped the panda with his little paw in the air twice onto smooth card stock with memento black ink. The first one I masked off so I could ink the background with a polka dot stencil.

I adhered the circle and a sentiment banner to a polka dot embossed background. I matted the polka dot embossed background to pink card stock. I then adhered the whole panel to a 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" card base.

The second stamped panda bear I fussy cut out after I colored it in. I adhered the panda to a foiled background die cut with a Circle double stitched die. 

I adhered the die cut circle and sentiment to a embossed background and adhered the whole panel to a 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" card base.

Happy Stamping! 

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!

Until next time ... Hugs & inky fingers!

Buzzard Set by Karen Day

Hello Ai fans!

I have a masculine card to share with you today using one of the fun Zoo Crew images: Buzzard Set (Sku#4194).  I find guy cards a little bit harder to embellish... so I tend to keep them on the simpler side, but I used a chevron embossing folder on my cardstock background to give the card a little extra texture and jazz it up a little:

Operation Write Home Hats Set

Hello Ai Fans!

Yesterday we jump-started our Operation Write Home blog hop!!
Today I'm sharing a second card with an OWH set.
One thing to keep in mind (that I forgot...)
These cards need to be very thin and an A2 size.
My card is NOT ACCEPTABLE for OWH.  I'll just use this one for something else and make a smaller duplicate to send to OWH.  Don't make the same mistake I did!  View the guidelines HERE.

For my card I used OWH Every Hat set.

Let's go for a Ride !!!

Hello Ai Fans !!

It's such a beautiful Spring day in my neighborhood so let's go for a ride .. I am using Mad Rider # 4090 to make my card today. I am keeping the color scheme to kraft, black and pink so my focal point stands out .

 Today I will show how I get the Ombre' look to her scooter, first I lay down some colorless blender at the top of the scooter, this is where I want the lightest color to blend out

Next I use the darkest RV11 add a layer at bottom and work your next color in RV10 then RV000, this wil all blend as you go and by laying a layer of blender to top half, it blends perfectly .. hope you try this ( practice, practice .. )

I used Kraft and Black card stock 6 x6 paper I bought at Hobby Lobby, I added some pink DCWV glitter paper to make my vine flourish, I ink all my edges with TH frayed burhlap

Copic and Spectra Noir colors used

Did someone say CHOCOLATE !!!

Hello Ai Fans !!

Today's card is made with the My Favorite Things stamp set sku #4047 , these girls want Chocolate and I think they will find away to get it .

My daughter loves chocolate , when she eats a piece you can see her mood change right before your eyes , she gets so happy and giddy.. I like chocolate once in awhile and her dad is not a big eater of it either so where does she get this from..lol.. so in honor of her I made this cute card .

I first cut my window out , I want to add a piece of acetate behind them to make a real window  , I did my cut first so if I mess up ( used xacto knife ) I would not have all my coloring time in my project ..

           my colors I used when coloring with my copics , I also paper pieced the end girlsnext I embossed the front layer 4 " by 5 1/4"with TH Bricked folder and glued to base card 4 1/4" by 5 1/2 ' , I then place my image on the card and trace the cut I need to make , I cut my opening a tad bigger and the cut a pc of my plastic sheet to front over the cut I made then layer on your image  and then attach the inside imagenext we are going to make an awning , cut a pc of white CS at 4 1/4" by 1 1/2 " , score at 1/4" and at 1" on your score board , next punch strips with the SU word window punch , add glue runner and place your strips down every other in colorbend on the score lines and attach to your card topI added some gray shades under girls to make like a side walk .
I think these girls have a plan and they will get some  ..
