Gone Fishin'

 Happy Wednesday AI Friends!

Today is the last day of the "Boy, Oh Boy" challenge so I made another masculine card for the occasion.  You can never have too many 'man' cards.  LOL!

For this one, I used the #5926 - Fishing Boat RIDES set.  I love these sets that have all the fun accessories plus the dies to cut all of the images out.  The other great thing about these, is that the accessories can be used with other sets and vice versa.  Back in June, Sharon used the fishing net on her Pickleball Patty card to have her catching butterflies instead of playing pickleball.  Ingenious!!  

I stamped all of the images onto copic friendly paper with Memento black ink and colored with my copic markers listed below.  I then die cut each with the corresponding dies.

For the wave layers, I cut panels with a cloud die turned upside down.  I then used a stencil brush and stamped white paint (Dr PH Martin's Bleed Proof) across the top to mimic waves.

I cut a slider track out of the darkest wave piece and placed foam tape along the back side bottom, top and left side.  

I also placed a small piece of foam tape on the back of the boat to fit in the slider track. 

 I then created a slider pull tab long enough to fit behind the boat to the right side of the panel.   Place the boat foam through the slider track and attach the pull tab to the foam tape.  Adhere to the card base.

Place foam tape (double stacked) onto the back side bottom and sides of the second wave panel.  Make sure that this foam tape does not hinder the movement of the boat.  Adhere this piece over the darkest wave panel on the card base.  Lastly, add the lightest wave panel over the top.  I did not pop up this layer.

Here is a video of how the boat rides the waves:

That's it for my card today.  Hope this gets you in the mood to enter the challenge for a chance to win a free stamp set.  

Have a great day and keep creating!

Sweet As Can Be

 Happy Wednesday AI Friends!

For the current blog challenge "Boy, Oh Boy", I couldn't resist using the #6103 - Baby Keepsake stamp set and the #6060 - Baby Boy Cover PP for my card today.  This stamp set has got to be the most darling set EVER!  Plus, the dies are included!!!  Yay!

I stamped the images onto copic friendly paper with Memento black ink and colored with my copic markers listed below.  I matted baby boy paper onto a blue piece of cardstock and die cut each of the images out.  I popped the images up with foam tape and placed within the windows of this slimline card.  Added the matted sentiments and a little piece of twine and the card is finished.

How fun and easy is that?  

Hope you enjoyed my card and it inspires you to join the blog challenge for a chance to win a free stamp set of your choice.  We love to see your creations!

Have a great day and keep creating!

Halloween Slimline

 This week's Art Impression's challenge is a "Slimline" card.  This was another fun challenge since I have never made a slimline card.  It has been in my projects list to attempt but just haven't gotten around to it so this challenge made me do it.  I'm so use to making A2 or 6x6 cards so to create a 9x4 was unusual but I really enjoyed it.  

  I thought I would make a Halloween slimline card since we are nearing that holiday next and who doesn't like Halloween.  I utilized several Art Impression's stamp and die sets.  The main one being the Haunted Mansion Popcard.  Unfortunately, this one has been discontinued but it's very similar to the Holiday mansion that is still in their store.  This Haunted Mansion set was intended to be an inside Popup card but I just took each piece and used foam tape to create the dimension.  I also utilized the Art Impression's fence dies, Quivery Mini Shaker spider and bat dies, and The Old Bat set saying and cluster of bats in the top corner.  I colored the images with copic markers and used Distress Oxide inks to create the background.  The pumpkins, witch, ghosts, and mansion dies are part of the Haunted Mansion Popcard set.  

  Hope you have a wonderful and fun Halloween.
