AiDT Reunion Blog Hop + Ai Spinners Release

Hello Ai Fans
What an exciting day it is! Today Art Impressions is hosting a blog hop with the current Design Team and Veteran Design Team members to launch the new Ai Spinners release!


You should have arrived here from 

For my new release project I am using the "Angel Spinner" (#4673) and the "Angel Spinner Die" (#4692). It is really hard to get a good picture of this ornament so sorry for that!


I was inspired my super talented friend Donna and "stole"(LOL) her idea to make this ornament. I picked up the empty ornament at Michaels. I stamped and coloured both sides of the Angel spinner and then using the matching die set cut her out. I paper pieced her little outfit and added Diamond Stickles to her wings. After I added some thread between the layers, I glued both pieces together. The ornament snaps apart so it's perfect to be able to add the Angel Spinner. I just tied the thread to the top of the ornament where you add the hanger. In the bottom I put a mix of several different gold sequins, seed beads and heart shaped pearls. 

Copics Used:
Skin: E000, E01, E31, R20
hair: E50, Y21, YR24
Wings B000, Diamond Stickles
halo & star: Y23, Y26, Y28

Enter below for a chance to win 1 of the new spinners sets and matching dies. We will be giving away 7 sets!

Fall Fun!

 Happy Terrific Tuesday!
Thanks for stopping by today to see my Fall card using the oh so adorable High Hopes stamp called "Tommy's Fall Fun".  Fall is my favourite time of the year and this image reminds me of when my girls were small and loved to play in the leaves!
I absolutely love the new Doodlebug Fall Friends collection. The colours are so rich and the patterns so cute! I made this A2 card and kept it fairly simple in design. I've always been so inspired by crafters that sew on their cards! I decided to give it a try this time and couldn't believe how easy it was. I was always afraid to sew on my cards but after this....look out sewing machine here I come!
The inside sentiment is also from HH and is called "One Of Those Days".
Copics used:
Skin: E000, E01, E31, R20
Pants & hair: E34, E35, E37
Top: R35, R37, R39, B04, B06
Leaves: Y23, Y26/ YR02, YR04/ E31, E33/ YG91, YG93
