Windows To The World

Hello Ai Fans!

Today starts a new release called Windows to the World 2015 over at Art Impression Stamps! For my creation this week I decided to make a set using the image called "Day Spent Window" (sku#4584).

I stamped my image on Copic friendly paper and coloured them in with my Copic Sketch markers. I went with this paper as it's green and reminds me of grass which we are just starting to finally see here in Ontario! I created a layered 4x 5 1/2" card with a simple design.

I decided to make a matching envelope out of a glassine paper bag. I took matching paper from the pad and inked the edges, added a doily over top and then a second copy of my coloured image. I folded over the top and then hole punched 2 holes. I threaded some twine through and tied a bow to keep my "envelope" closed.

On the inside, I used the saying from around the image. I just used my computer to type it up and then printed it out. I like this idea of using the glassine bags because the recipient can then reuse the "envelope" for something else, goodies maybe?

Copics Used:

Trunk: E43, E44, E47

Tree: G40, G43, G46

Shrubs: G82, G85

Grass: G12, G14

Snuggles and Cuddles

Today my card is created using the newly released stamp called Snuggles & Cuddles. This Panda and her little one is absolutely adorable! Did you know that a Panda can spend 14-16 hours a day eating bamboo? Just a fun fact for you!!

As soon as I saw this image I knew my paper choice had to be back and red! I used paper from American Crafts "Amy Tangerine Sketchbook" and Kaiserkraft's "Shaken Not Stirred" collections. A red bow, black button and some matching enamel dots finished off my card.

Easter Card #4

Howdy!

I'm back with another Easter card to share with you! This time I am using the Art Impressions image called Joyful Kate (sku#4112). I just love her and the word joyful just makes me happy! It makes me think what I am joyful for..... I am joyful for Spring, warmer weather and of course all my family and friends bring me get joy!

I made 3 cards using Joyful Kate. I wanted to try making another stair step card and used a tutorial from Splitcoast stampers. I love that site and their tutorials are always so easy to follow and most of the time has a video to show you how as well. I used paper from the Bella Blvd. Simply Spring collection. It's super cute and the colours are so fun and bright! The image is on the larger side so I fussy cut her out so you can still see the paper. I just did a bunch of layering with my papers, added ribbon from my stash and a few die cuts on the stair step card. Of course some tickles on her flower. The sentiment is from High Hope Stamps and is called Easter Greetings.
