Art Impressions Picture Perfect Travelers!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

This card was inspired by the current Ai Blog Challenge which is called “Summer Fun”! We would love to see your creations which include any kind of summer fun including vacation, beach, camping, etc. So please feel free to join in! We can’t wait to see what you create!

I thought I would create a fun summer travel card with the girlfriends from the Ai Picture Perfect Set (4130)! To set the scene, we will be using some luggage from the Ai Travel Accessories Set (5508). These little travel accessories can be mixed and matched with many of your other stamp sets!

We will also be creating a speech bubble which will include several goodbye sentiments in a variety of cute ways. To do this we will be masking off each of the words separately using some Masking Magic tape! Let’s add a bit of stitching around this speech bubble for added interest using a permanent black fine tip marker.

For the background paper we will be using a pretty yellow floral pattern and for the flooring we will use the back side of the paper which is a pretty striped design!

I stamped a birthday sentiment on the inside of my card but you could certainly change this to a fun retirement card or friendship travel card!

I also mentioned the two videos for the brand new Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens Set A that are linked here as well:

Zigs “New Colors” – 30 Color Set A – Part 1

Zigs “New Colors” – 30 Color Set A – Part 2 – Bright Bloom Card!

All of the coloring was done using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Aquamarine Blue, Blossom Pink, Smoky Teal, Plum Mist, Shadow Pink, Lt Pink, Tea Rose, Flesh Colour, Lt Brown, Beige, Mid Brown, Brown, Lt Gray

Art Impressions Lawn Ranger Slimline Card

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Let’s have some fun today by creating a special masculine birthday card! We will be using the adorable Ai The Lawn Ranger Set (4102) to create this little scene. In addition to this set I thought it would be great to add a few more elements to this fun loving lawn mower man card! I thought he needed his loyal friend on the front of the mower and a flag on the back from the (Ai Enjoy the Ride Set -5186) and a drink from the (Ai Travel Accessories Set – 5508), a cute little bird looking on from the (Ai On the Sparrow Set – 5170). Let’s also add some fencing using the Ai WC Fence Dies (4967).

To create our sunshiny sky we will be using a stencil and some Distress Oxide Inks in Crackling Campfire, Wild Honey, and Scattered Straw! Next I’ll show you how I created this perfectly mowed lawn using some temporary tape and a few more Distress Oxide Inks in Twisted Citron and Rustic Wilderness.

This guy mowing the lawn actually looks like he would be a lot of fun to have around!  What guy wouldn’t love to receive this adorable card??? The sentiment that comes with the set says “Happy Birthday to the “Lawn Ranger”…..love that!!!

We will then place our scene on a slimline card using the Ai Slimline Dies Set (5463). Just have some fun digging through all of your sets to see what you might want to add to your fun “Lawn Ranger” scene.

All of the coloring was done using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Tea Rose, Flesh Color, Orange, Deep Vermillion, Smoky Teal, Lt Gray, Beige, Lt Brown, Gray, Dk Brown.

I also mentioned the two videos for the brand new Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens Set A that are linked here as well:

Art Impressions Let’s Par-tee w/ Stenciled Plaid

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

In todays video we will be creating two super fun golf themed cards with lots of plaid! This card was inspired by the current Ai Blog Challenge! This challenge is called “Perfect Plaid” and it will challenge you to create a card or project using a plaid somewhere in your design!

For stamps today we will be using the Ai Par-tee Golfers Set (4902)! This is the perfect set to create both a masculine and feminine version of this fun card! We will also be using the Ai Block Letters Set (5072) to die cut some letters for our project.

To set the scene for our cards we will create some great plaid designs using a two part stencil and some beautiful Distress Oxide Inks! We will also create a beautiful cloudy sky using another great cloud stencil and we will die cut and color some grassy borders for our scene.

The word “PAR” will be highlighted in our plaid design and we will do this a a few different ways! These large square cards will measure 6″x6″…so the postage will be a little bit more….but you can always hand deliver these!

Please join us in this new blog challenge…. we would love to see your wonderful creations!!!

File Folder Tab Card – “Hot Mess”

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

In todays video we will be playing with the brand new Ai Hot Mess Laugh Lines Set (5518)! This exhausted and overwhelmed little lady has so many fun sentiments to go along with her….but the one that caught my eye right away was the one that says “My brain has too many tabs open”. This made me think of a file folder design as soon as I laid eyes on it!

This design will give us a chance to use both the We R Memory Keepers Tab Punch Board and the Envelope Punch Boards to create this fun card! We can place several fun sentiments on each of the tabs. I will show you how to create the tabs and how to use your envelope punch board to create the file folder! This is a simple way to create this design without a lot of measuring and extra steps.

It is easiest if you select a pretty double-sided paper design that measures 12″x12″. That way the inside and outside of your file folder will both have a pretty pattern. You can always stamps and decorate your own patterned paper design if you wish!

I will give you the simple measurements for the card insert and the layers for your card. The finished card will be a mini slimline size!

For a finishing touch we will add a few shiny silver metallic gems on the front of the file folder!

If you love this little lady… just click here to watch the Mixed Media Tag Card – Sassy Lady video I did using the other brand new Ai Sassy Laugh Lines Set (5517)!

Zigs “New Colors” – 30 Color Set A – Part 2 – Bright Bloom Card!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Todays video is a (Part 2) of sorts for a color swatching video that I did for these new Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens Colors! I thought it would be fun to do a card using quite a few of these beautiful new colors.

Click here to see the color swatching video Zigs “New Colors” – 30 Color Set A – Part 1 !

For this card we will be using a gorgeous Stampendous “Bloom Bright” Clear Stamp Set! This set includes several lovely flowers and leaves and a sweet sentiment which says “May your day bloom bright with promise”. We will use several of the new Zigs including Lt Red Grape, Deep Red Grape, Deep Vermillion, Smoky Yellow, Ever Green, Moss Green, Sand, Aquamarine Blue, and Smoky Teal to color these images.

We will use some Lawn Fawn Textured Dot Cardstock in a pretty green and then we will create a watercolor background to set the scene for our images. I’ll give you a few tips and tricks for creating a beautiful deckled edge to your watercolor paper! We can then spatter the background! Let’s add a bit of black cardstock and layer on the watercolor panel and our flowers! We will do a bit of sculpting on the flowers and then add some iridescent sequins for a bit of sparkle.

Zigs “New Colors” – 30 Color Set A – Part 1

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today I will be creating a quick swatch sheet for the “New Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens” – 30 Color Set A! I was searching for a swatching of these beautiful new colors and I couldn’t find anything. So I thought I would create this video to give you all a quick overview of these colors and my thoughts on these new colors. I think it is definitely a more muted palette and a very elegant combination of colors.

There are a lot of color collections that will blend quite well together and a great grouping of cool and warm gray tones…you can never have too many of the gray tones!

I used the Strathmore Bristol Smooth 100lb Cardstock which I find to be the best paper to use when coloring with these pens. The pens now have the number and color printed directly onto the pens for easy identification. There is a color indexing on the end of each pen which I found to be very close to the actual marker color. So I didn’t feel that additional swatching was required.

I have done an additional video using some of these new colors called Zigs “New Colors” – 30 Color Set A – Part 2 – Bright Bloom Card! In this video we will be using the beautiful “Bloom Bright” Clear Set from Stampendous!
