Little Stinker

I am posting on the Art Impressions blog today!

I made three cards to share, using Little Stinker (Sku #4318) - one of the sweet Ai Little People.  I always find when I use one of these little guys, that I can't stop at one... so I usually stamp several, and I wanted to try out a few different skin tones as well!

Do you know, that I think I would actually struggle trying to do a pastel baby card?!  I always envision bright & fun, and the Little Stinker image is perfect for that look.  I added a little bit of orange zigzag stitching across the top, and left the thread ends loose.

Don't forget that our Vintage Vibe challenge is still happening - we would love to see your creations!

Little Stinker

I am posting on the Art Impressions blog today.

I have been having fun making baby cards the last couple of days, using the Ai Little People sets.  I have one using the cute Little Stinker (Sku #4318) to share with you - I have used this week's Retro Sketch:

 

For a lot of people, babies mean pastel colours... but I'll reach for my bright and fun papers any day of the week!  I made it a top fold card so that I could wrap some twine around the top of the card, and I popped the sentiment up with a pop dot.  I stitched the orange banner down with my sewing machine.  Here's a close up of the Little Stinker:

You still have one more day to participate in our Masculine/Anything Goes challenge!  And we'll have a brand new challenge up for you on Thursday.  Happy stamping!

Little Man

I really love the Art Impressions Babies!  So when I needed to get a couple of baby cards made, I pulled out Little Man (Sku#UM4321) and used the CTMH Babycakes papers for the first time.  I've used the fabulous sketch on the Fusion Card Challenge:

Here's a closeup of my Little Man:

Patterned papers are Babycakes; Cardstock is Chocolate, Sunset & Colonial White - all CTMH; Inks are Chocolate, CTMH and Tuxedo Black, Memento; Stamp set is Little Man, Art Impressions, Copic Markers, American Crafts twine.

 

More Babies!

I was going to title my post "Can't stop making babies" but I thought that might give you the wrong impression...  I had several more Ai Little People images coloured up, so I kept going and made another simple card using both Little Man and Little Sprout.  They're very much in the same style as my post last week, but these little guys look so cute in circles, that I stuck with the look:

And a shot of them both together:

Patterned papers are My Girl & Boy Crazy, My Mind's Eye; Cardstock is Slate, Lagoon, Smoothie & Colonial White, CTMH; Ink is Tuxedo Black, Memento; Copic Markers; Stamp sets are Little Man (Sku#UM4321) and Little Sprout (Sku#UM4317), Art Impressions.

 

Art Impressions Babies Blog Hop!

The Art Impressions Design Team is hopping today to share the absolutely adorable Ai Little People with you!  They are now available for purchase through the Ai website here.  I have made up two cards with Little Man (Sku#UM4321), and for my first card, I cut out my Little Man and popped him up on an Action Wobble:

I love machine stitching on my cards, so I've done a straight stitch in cream thread around the background panels, and have added some zigzag stitching in teal to both cards:

 

And a shot of them both together:

Well, I loved my cards so much that I decided to go ahead and make the female version.  So here are the same card designs using Little Sprout (Sku#UM4317):

 

There is some serious cuteness in this line of stamps, so you're going to want to visit all the Design Team blogs today to check out all the babies!  The hop begins here on the Ai blog, if you'd like to start at the beginning.  Your next stop is Cheryl's blog, or here is a complete listing of everyone on today's hop:
