Halloween Gang!

Hello Ai Fans!

Halloween is fast approaching and who wouldn't love these little trick or treaters arriving on your doorstep? This image is called "Costume Tots" (#3615). They are super adorable and so much fun to color up!

For some reason I just wanted to make a long card to show off these cuties! I made my own 8"x 3" card out of white cardstock. I used Halloween themed paper from my stash and layered it with plain coloured cardstock. Some enamel dots and a bow were my embellishments of choice this time.

Of course since these cards are an odd shape I had to make custom envelopes to fit them into. I used my scoreboard and paper trimmer to custom make the envelopes. I took a piece of paper that I cut at 8"x 10". I got this by taking the short side, multiply by 2 and then add 2" (3" x2 +2=8). Then for the long side you just add 2" to the length (8"+2"=10). I then scored the 10" side in 3/4" on both ends, turn your paper and score 1/4"  on the 8"side. I cut the notches out where the paper met, fold, glue the 2 middle edges and there you have it a custom envelope. 

On the inside I stamped just the top half of the costume tots with natural coloured ink by MFT and added the sentiment Halloween Greetings  (#1784).

Copics used:

E00, E11, E43, E44,R20, R24, R27, R29, Y11, Y13, Y18

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!
