House and Home Challenge

Hi Ai Fans!

It's the second week of the Ai Challenge called

I am using the new Ai "Cottage Set & Die". You can kind of see the "Good Friends" set if you peek in the windows. I love the way the 2 sets can go together or you could use them alone.

I decided to create my own background rather than use Designer papers. I made the sky using a template I have shown before (Click Here.) I die cut out a fence and grass from MFT Die-namic dies. Then I made a frame with the MFT Stitched Rectangles and using some foam tape popped it up on top of my background and stamped image. I added the sentiment from the "Good Friends" set to my frame and then glued it to a piece of paper from my scrap stash.

 

The Cottage set has a little die in it that will cut out the door and part of the windows! It's so easy and super cute!

I also used the die to cut through my Design paper and the card base so that the chairs scene from the "Good Friends" set would show through the window.

Copics used:

Roof: E07, E08, E09

Stones & Chimney: T1, T3, T5, T7

Siding: YG61, YG63

Polaroid Buddies!

Hi!

Today I wanted to Share with you a card I made for One Crazy Stamper using the High Hopes Stamp image called "Peeking Spring Buddies"! Easter is just around the corner and this stamp makes the perfect Easter card!

I like love spring papers and the Echo Park "Spring" 6x6 collection is so cute! I love the pastel shades! I decided to use my MFT Die-namics Precious Polaroid die on this card. I also embossed the frames with my Polka dot embossing folder. A bit of lace and enamel dots and it's complete!

I like to sometimes try to use my stamps in different ways. The original "Peeking Spring Buddies" has the 3 characters in a row. I inked up each character separately and stamped them on a scrap piece of paper. Then if there was any ink spots I used my liquid paper to "erase" them.  I photocopied the images onto Copic paper, coloured them and cut them out. Now I can add them to the frames. Sometimes when you "think outside the box" it opens up more uses for your stamps!

I popped the bunny paper and each polaroid image up with foam squares for added dimension!

On the inside I used the High Hopes "Easter Greetings" sentiment.

Copics Used:

Bunny: T0, T1, T3, R11, BG11, BG32, R83, R85, YG23, YG25, Y17, white gel pen(polka dots)

Chick: Y11, Y13, Y15, Y17, Y38, BG11, R11

Duck: Y000, Y00, Y02, YR02, YR04, R11

Just For You!

Hi!

For today's blog post I wanted to share with you the super adorable stamp from High Hopes Stamps called "Froggy Gift". Can't you just picture this sweet boy coming up to you and saying "here this is just for you"! LOL! I didn't have any boys but I think this is something that happens a lot with curious little boys!

I found Designer paper to match perfectly from the Echo Park Little Man 6x6 collection. I used my Silhouette and the Print and Cut feature to cut out these adorable little frog embellishments. I also tried to add some texture to his jeans by using a washcloth and some Copic Blender solution. It's hard to see in the pictures though but does give it a more denim look.

I used the High Hopes sentiment called " Have I Toad You" on the inside.

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E11, R20

Overalls: B32, B34, B37, B39

Top: Y13, R24, R27

Hat: R24, R27, R29/ Y13, Y15, Y17

Frog: R24, YG03, YG25, YG17

Outline: B000

Ground: E31, E33
