Joy Found by Niccole Kulig

Hello Ai fans!!

"Joy is found in the friendships we make along life's way."

It is Niccole again stopping by to share a card I made using the Joy Found Window. Like I said last week ... I just love these window stamps.  I am a sucker for a good quote, and these saying are some of the best. 

As you can see I started with some pattern paper and a ribbon.  My card is an A2 top folding card. The pattern paper is trimmed down 1/4". I glued my ribbon on before adhering it to my card so I could fold the edges over and glue them behind for a clean finish

For this bow I used two pieces of ribbon to give the bow some depth and make it a little bigger.  I think it turned out well. I see in the picture that the one side is hiding a little bit but trust me it is there.

I added my Copic colored panel onto two different colors of green to make it pop more.  I adhered it to my card using foam tape.  I finished it off with some Wink of Stella over the sky, the water, and the flowers.

One more look at the finished card.  If you are on the fence about these Window to the World stamps ... go get some, they are fabulous.  And with the sentiment going around the picture you don't need to add another one if you don't want to. 

Copic Used:

B000, B00, B32, B34

Thank you so much for stopping by ... we will see you again soon!

Until next time ... Hugs & inky fingers!

I Haven't Seen You In Forever by Niccole Kulig

Hi Ai fans!!

I am sharing a card today that I made with no a lot of supplies.  I used the 4408 - Texting BFF's from art Impressions.

As you can see It is not a real complicated card, but it gives a big punch. I did not use a lot of supplies for this card. It would make a great layout for a new stamper with minimal supplies.

I cut out a circle from the Art Impressions Circle Double Stitched Dies. I love these dies, they can be used for a million things, and i LOVE the fact they give a stitched line on both sides of the cut.

I raised my pattern paper up with foam tape to give the card some dimension, and glued my Texting BFF's flat to the card base.

Once again here is the finished card.  I added sequins randomly to the card to give it some bling. The sequins look really yellow in some pictures. They are iridescent sequins so depending on where they are they could look yellow, blue, even green, or clear/white.  I like a little bling on cards whether its Wink of Stella, sequins, or even glitter.

Thank you so much for stopping by and spending some time with me.

Here's The Skinny ... by Niccole Kulig

Hi Ai Fans!

Today I am stopping by to share a couple cards I made from the Skinny Yet stamp set from Art Impressions.

I started by placing both cuts of pattern paper to my card base.  I tied it together with a black strip of paper.  I stamped my images and colored them with Copic markers; which I list at the end of this post. I cut out my large image with my Scan N Cut.  

My sentiment is also from the Skinny Yet stamp set.  I cut both my sentiment and the white card stock with the Hexagon Double Stitch Die set.

I added pattern paper to my large hexagon and glued it to my card base. I glued the base of my skinny lady to my card and popped the top half with foam tape. I colored my smaller hexagon shape with a Copic marker as well, added my sentiment to the bottom left corner of the card with foam tape.

I finished the card off with Nuvo Drops in the color Carnation Pink. I feel like it completes the card, don't you?

Once again here they both are together again.  I cannot decide if I like the yellow or turquoise better, you?

Thank you so much for stopping by and spending some time with me!
