Trick or Treat, Smell My Feet

Hello Ai Fans!
It's another exciting release day! It's time for new Shaker stamps and dies! Hold onto your hats these are going to make you chuckle and put a smile on your face!
Today for the New Shaker release I am using the oh so adorable "My Feet Set" (#4680). This cute set comes with the stamped images, die, sentiment and action wobble. Great value for your money that's for sure!
 To start I gathered up all the supplies I needed. I am using papers from the Tailored Expressions Create A Scene Halloween 6x6 collection.
 I stamped my image onto Copic X-press it paper with Memento ink in Tuxedo black.
I coloured both the monster and the extra set of feet with my Copic Sketch markers
 I cut all my Design Paper and sentiment out using the Spellbinders Large Octagon metal dies. I am making a 5.5" square card. My base layer is cut at 5 1/2" square, the purple layer is 5 6/8" square and the patterned piece is cut at 5 1/4" square. 
I glued the octagon pieces onto black cardstock. Using my Mini Perfect Layers tool and craft knife I cut around each of the octagons using the 1/16th mark on the ruler. 
I wound some purple twine around the left hand side and attached it to the back of my bottom layer. Now that everything is ready I attached all the layers onto a 5 1/2" square pre-made card base. 

I added little googly eyes to my monster. The monster and sentiment are popped up with foam squares. I made a twine bow and attached a pumpkin button to it. The last step is to add the action wobble to the feet and then lining them up with the full image, attach them to the monster.
 Here's the side view so you can see how things are layered and the wobble is attached.
Copics Used:
Monster: V91, V93, V95
tummy and feet pads: BG90, BG93, BG96
Pumpkin: YR02, YR04, YR07, Y18


Below is a quick video of what the action wobble "shake" looks like!

Baby Thomas!

Hi Everyone!
This past weekend I made this adorable baby card for a friend of the family! I just love this image from Stamping Bella called "Spit Happens" .
I chose papers from the Doodlebug Snips and Snails 6x6 collection. Some ribbon, a tag and enamel dots finished it off.
Copics used:
Skin: E000, E01, E31, R20
Hair: Y21, Y35
Shirt: B91, B93, B95, YG25
Bunny: Y21, Y35, R01
Diaper & Bottle: W0, W1, W3
Lid: YG25
Ground: W3 
I love to personalize my baby cards as they make such a nice keepsake! I used my Silhouette and the Sketch pens to create this little personalized embellishment.
This has to be one of my favourite sayings and it's also from Stamping Bella. and I used it on the inside of my card.  It's the sentiment that comes with the "Snookums" stamp.

Thanks for stopping by!
Happy crafting!!

Hello Ai & SSS Fans!

What an exciting day! Simon Says Stamp is celebrating Stamptember and Art Impressions has designed a stamp set that is exclusive to SSS. How exciting is that!!!!



The exclusive stamp set is called "Dance It Out" comes with the main Girlfriend Image and 3 sentiments! Here's a link to the Simon Says Stamp blog where they will be show casing this new stamp set!
To help celebrate this awesome event I made a card using the new set. I decided on the "Life's too short, SHAKE IT" sentiment. And of course that saying inspired me to attach the girlfriends on the card using an action wobble. For the dance floor, I used the floor out of the Ai Deco set #1 (#4235). It's hard to see in the photo but the gold top and silver sweater are actually coloured with Wink of Stella glitter pens.
