Flamingo set!

Hello Ai Fans!

Today I am sharing with you the adorable "Flamingo Wiggle Wobble" set from Art Impressions.

The "Wiggle Wobble" Line of stamps are just too cute and make such a fun interactive card for your recipient.

I made my own backgrounds by using some Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks. I added some of the inks to my craft pad and then spritzed then with water. Then just drag your paper through the ink for a cool look! It looks really cool if you add some ink splatters too. The Flamingo is so easy to put together! The set comes with the stamps, dies and some mini brads to put it together with. Then all you have to do is use the mini action wobble that comes with the set to pop up your wiggly image!

For this card I just used some ink splatters and paper from the Echo Park I'd Rather Be Crafting collection. For a different look I just added the heads of the flamingos to this card.

I also added some gold and white ink splatters to this background using a paintbrush.

Just look how cute the "Flamingo Wiggle Wobble" is in action!

Anything New?

Hi Ai Fans!

I'm popping in today to share my card I made for the "Anything Goes" Challenge over on the Art Impressions Blog! If you follow me then you know I have  soft spot for the Ai Bird Brains line of stamps. There's just something about them that draws me to them! I am using "Birdie & Eggnus" on my card today!

I chose to use papers from the Carta Bella "Country Kitchen" 6x6 collection. I stamped "Birdie & Eggnus" and then masked them off with a post it note. Then I used the Ai "Chicken Wire" stamp and added it as a background.

Here's another version using the same stamp. The sentiment is also from Art Impressions and is called "Anything New".

Heidi & Mattie!

Hi HH & OCS Fans!

I'm a big dog fan and have had a dog in my life for as long as I can remember! I think it's wonderful to have pets especially when you have children as the two become best friends! I am using the High Hopes stamp called "Heidi & Mattie". Don't these two look like they are the best of friends?!!

I coloured Mattie up adding some grey spots to her with my Copic Markers. My paper this time is from the Echo Park Just Be You 6x6 collection. I decided to paper piece Heidi's overalls for a fun element! The sentiment "Best Friends Forever" is also from High Hopes and goes perfectly with this image!

Here's an inside view of my card. The sentiment is part of the "Best Friends Forever" stamp. I masked off the stamp and used part of it on the front and the other part on the inside of my card. It's fun to do different things with your sentiments!

New Release over at Digi Doodle Studios!

Hi DDS Fans!

It's New Release day over at Digi Doodle Studios with the "Light & Sprite" Collection! Dina has done it again with another line of adorable digital stamps! I am using the beautiful "Charmeine Berry Blythe" today on my card!

I am using Digital Papers from DDS called "Sweetheart". The colours and patterns are so soft and pretty! I downloaded, re sized my image and printed it off on my printer. Then I set about colouring Charmeine with my Copic Markers. I fussy cut her out and popped her up with foam tape on my layered card. She has Clear Wink of Stella glitter pen on her wings and on all the flowers for a bit of sparkle!

I made my own rolled flowers this time using papers from the same "Sweetheart" collection. I added a pearl gem to the middle of each flower.

I used a sentiment from the "Friendship" Digital sentiment collection

Spring Chicken!

Hello Ai Fans!

Just popping in today to share with you a couple of cards I made using the Art Impressions "Spring Chicken" set. I am a big fan of the "Ai Bird Brains" line of stamps so when I saw these cuties I knew I had to add them to my collection!

I love the way theses cards have a "lift the flap" element to them for an interactive detail!

 I chose papers from the American Crafts "Color Crush" collection for a nice spring like feel. After all I have had enough of winter and needed a boost of spring LOL!

Love the saying on the coffee cup!!

Look at all the images and sentiments that come with the "Spring Chicken" set! Oh just imagine all the possibilities!

Spring is Coming!

Hi HH & OCS Fans!

I've been so tired of winter and the thought of Spring just makes me feel happy! I decided it was time to make a fun Spring themed card. I am using the "2 Chicks" and "Sweet Heart Frame" stamps from High Hopes Stamps.

I chose paper from the Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid Rainbow 6x6 collection. First I stamped my Frame and then added the Chicks inside.  I have to admit..... the sky is a "mistake coverup" lol! First I had masked off all the images and tried to do a Distress Ink Cloud sky but I messed it up. Since my whole image was coloured and I didn't want to waste it, I took the Distress Ink and a water brush and filled in the sky. I'm not entirely in love with it so I added a few die cut clouds and it seemed better.

Pamper Yourself!

Hello!

I am always so inspired by my friend Carolina's Tags and gift bags that I had to try to make one for myself! When I saw "Bubbles" from Digi Doodle Studios, I knew this cutie would be perfect for a gift set I wanted to make for a friend!

I created the rectangular tag using paper from the MME Blush 6x6 collection. I printed and coloured my digital image and then cut "Bubbles" out with a Loopy Oval die. I added some flowers and a die cut flourish to the tag. I popped the image and sentiment that I created on my computer up with foam squares for dimension. Lots of glitter was added with my Spectrum Noir glitter pen to the water and wine. Some glossy accents were added to the bubbles. I added a long string of twine so that I could use it to tie the tag to my gift.

I wrapped up a set of bath products and tied the tag to it! A perfect gift to pamper yourself with!

Love Bears!

Howdy Ai Fans!

I just can't get enough of these cute "Valentine Bears" from Art Impressions! They have been my go to stamps for my Valentine's cards this year! This is the 3rd set of cards I've made using the set. They are just too cute, love them!!

I chose papers from the Echo Park "Rather Be Crafting" 6x6 collection. First I coloured my bears and then using a piece of terry cloth and some Copic Blending Solution added some texture to their fur. I think it adds a fun element to your colouring. I added Clear Glitter Wink of Stella to the word "love". It's too bad it doesn't show well in the pictures as it really adds a cute sparkly element to the finished card.

I also added a few Gold enamel dots to tie in with the base paper I used from Bazzill Basics Paper. The paper is gold foiled and just looks so pretty.

Copics Used:

Bears: E30, E31, E34, E35, E37, Copic Blending Solution

Sweet Easter set!

Hello Ai Fans!

It's the second week of the Art Impressions "Sweet Treats" Challenge and the Release of the New "Sweet Easter" and "Sham-rock" sets! I just love the Art impression sets as you can create so many different cards with just one set.

I decided to create 3 different cards using the same "Sweet Easter" set!

I am using paper from the Echo Park "Hello Easter" 6x6 paper pack and on the shaker card a piece of paper from the Lawn Fawn "Perfectly Plaid Rainbow" collection. Some glitter pen, enamel dots (as usual LOL) and ribbon finish off my cards!

On this card I stamped the Easter Lilies in the mug first, masked it off, added the Lily Frame and sentiment.

I fussy cut out these cute Easter images and added them around the frame with some foam squares for dimension.

For this card I cut the frame out 2x with adhesive foam and turned it into a shaker card.

Here's the inside view of the Shaker card.
