Pumpkin Mice Flip Card by Jil Lebel

Hello Ai fans!

The mice from the Pumpkin Mice Flip stamp set look like they're having a party!  Of course, it's a Halloween party.  I was going to color all four pumpkins orange until I thought of the colorful pumpkins I always see at craft stores this time of the year.

I started by stamping the images onto Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth paper with Gina K Designs Black Amalgam Ink and colored them with my Copic markers.  The colors used are listed at the end of this post. I then cut them out using the Rectangle A2 Double Striched Dies.  They aren't the exact shape I needed, so I had to cut them twice cutting the image shorter on my second run through the die cut machine.

I stamped the images onto the same paper and cut them out with the Simon Says Stamp Sentiment Strips. I cut the flip card base using the directions on the Flip Card Die.  I added patterned paper layers from the Basic Grey Eerie 6" x 6" paper collection.

The last thing I did was add the sentiments to the back and front of the card.

Copic Colors Used:
Mice - C00, C1, C3, C5
Hats - BV00, BV02, BV04, YG00, YG03
Ground - E30, E31
Orange Pumpkins - Y21, YR15, YR18, YR24
Tan Pumpkin - E41, E42, E43, E44
Yellow Pumpkin - Y21, Y23, Y35, YR24
Stems - E31, E35, E37

Thanks for stopping by and Have a Great Day!

Wag Your Tail by Niccole Kulig

Hello Ai fans!!

I hope this Wednesday finds you well.  I am stopping by today to share with you a fun card I made using the new Dog House Cubbie Critters.  

I wanted to keep it simple but yet draw you to it.

I couldn't decide which of the dogs I wanted to use so I made two cards.  I knew I wanted to use pink, especially with the Chihuahua and the Pomeranian.

First up the Pomeranian.  Isn't she just the cutest?  I really like the dog images Ai used in this stamp set.  They did an awesome job in my opinion.  I know I will be using this set a lot.

Here is a close up of these cuties colored.  I also added some Nuvo drop in Carnation Pink to add some character to the card. 

Onto the little Chihuahua ...

I did the exact thing to this card as I did with the Pomeranian dogs.  I stamped them in a row across my card.  I colored them with Copics.

I ended up changing the Nuvo Drops I used and used the Nuvo Jewel Drops in Strawberry Coulis.  It is translucent.  I love how they look on paper. 

Here is a look at both of them together.  Aren't they cute?? You could use them for almost any occasion.  "Have a wag your tail good time" is just one of the four sentiments in this set.  It really is versatile.

Thank you so much for stopping by.  Don't worry you WILL be seeing more of this set.  I just love it!
