Matchbook Music w/ Matching Envelope!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today let’s create another one of the brand-new matchbooks using the Ai Music Shop Matchbook (5905) which includes all kinds of musical instruments that are so much fun to color! This set is one of the four new Matchbooks that were recently released. I will link a few of the videos that I had previously done down below for you if you would like to take a closer look at them!

There is also currently a bundle set that is at a discounted price and I have linked that and all of the new-release Matchbooks below:

5905 – Music Shop MB

5908 – Gnome Home MB

Keep in mind that you will need the Ai Matchbook Template Die Set (5317) and the Ai Matchbook Envelope Die Set (5318) to create the card base and coordinating envelope.

To create these two items, we will be using the Ai Mini Birthday Paper Pack (5873). This double-sided paper will give us some pretty pastel stripes for the outside and some cute little polka dots for the inside. For the envelope we will grab another double-side paper that will have a cute lavender gingham pattern on the inside and polka dots for the outside.

Let’s go ahead and stamp and color all of our little images. We will be coloring all of our images today using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Lilac, Lt Violet, Lt Red Grape, Violet, Purple, Haze Blue, Lt Blue, Lt Gray, Gray Brown, Gray, Cobalt Blue, May Green, Pale Green, Dk Green, Yellow, Beige, Mid Brown, Lt Brown, Mustard.

We will die cut these images with the coordinating dies which will not only die cut the images but score them, so we know exactly where to make our folds.

Let’s go ahead and assemble the matchbook and coordinating envelope and I will show you exactly how to assemble this matchbook in the video and give you some tips and tricks for easy assembly!

This wonderful new Music Matchbook will be a favorite among your musical and music loving friends and family …. great for your favorite music teachers too!

Fairytale Garden House!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial!!!

Today we will be using the brand-new Art Impressions Fairytale Houses Set (5935) which includes 3 adorable little fairytale houses, a few cute sentiments, flowers, a bee and butterfly, a fence, and some mushrooms! The coordinating dies are also included with this set!

You should also know, there is currently a Woodland Fairy Garden Bundle Set (c5941) which is at a discounted price. This bundle includes the set we are using today, as well as the following sets:

Today’s card was inspired by the current Art Impressions “All a-Buzz!” Blog Challenge which is challenging us to use any insect or insects on your project! I couldn’t resist adding a few cute little butterflies!

Let’s begin by stamping and coloring all of our images using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Pale Yellow, Yellow, Scarlet Red, Geranium Red, Peach Pink, Lt Violet, Purple, Violet, Aquamarine Blue, Cornflower Blue, Lt Green, Green, Beige, Mid Brown, Brown, Lt Gray, Gray. Once the coloring is complete, we can die cut the images.

Next, we can die cut the plaid panel, the yellow panel and the wood frame using the Ai Fall Paper Pack (5838) and the Ai Square Double Stitched Dies (5061) and the Ai Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies (5063). Let’s quickly stamp the sentiment in the upper left-hand corner of the yellow pattern paper.

We can add some pretty yellow and white baker’s twine around the rectangle card panel and tie a bow.

Now we can attach all of these layers to a standard A2 size top folding card base. Now let’s lay out the scene and attach all of these cute little items.

As a finishing touch, let’s add some Wink of Stella Clear Glitter to the butterflies and a few other items for a bit of sparkle!

Lawn Fawn Berry Special – Z Fold Card!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Let’s have some fun today creating a Z-Fold card using lots and lots of different products from Lawn Fawn! If you have never made one of these before, you will love this easy and interactive card!

We can begin by creating the card base and the grassy borders using the LF Large Slimline w/ Sliders Dies and the LF Hillside Borders Dies. We will cut the card base layer from some 65lb White Cardstock and the panel for the grassy borders out of some 100lb LF Cilantro Cardstock.

Next, we will score these two panes at 2 1/8″ and 4 1/4″. Now we can fold the card base and cut the green panel in half to create two grassy borders. Let’s also apply a bit of LF Noble Fir Ink to the grassy borders for some added shadowing and shading!

Let’s also add some inks to the card base to create a pretty sky background using the LF Inks in Lobster, Fake Tan, and Sunflower. We can also spatter this with some water for added texture and interest.

Next, I’ll refer you to the video for the folding of the card base and the grassy borders. There is a little trick to the folding which will be easily explained and shown in the video. Once the panels are folded, we can assemble the Z-Fold card base.

Next, we can stamp our images using the LF Berry Special Stamps and color them using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Lt Pink, Red, Wine Red, Yellow, Bright Yellow, Haze Blue, Dk Agate, Blue Gray, Cool Gray 6, Beige Mid Brown, May Green, Green. Let’s also die cut these using the coordinating dies.

Now we can assemble all of these cute little mice, strawberries and bees onto our card!

Let’s add a few sentiments by stamping onto some LF Cardstock in Black Licorice. We can emboss these with some detail white embossing powder and die cut them using a couple of banner dies from the LF Flippin’ Awesome Dies. We will attach one to the front of the card and the other one on the back of the card while also adding a bit of plaid paper from the LF Petite Paper Pack 6″x6″ in Fruit Salad.

For a finishing touch let’s add the word “buzzz” next to each of the little bees!

If you enjoyed today’s video, you may enjoy a previous card that I had done using this Z-Fold technique and I will link it here if you would enjoy watching:

Unboxing NEW Spellbinders Scout & Making a Card!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

I’ve got a wonderful brand-new tool to show you today! We will be unboxing the brand-new Spellbinders Platinum Scout Die Cutting Machine! Once we have taken a look at this little wonder, we will be using the 3D Embossing Folder and Floral Die Set that come with this machine to create an elegant card!

Next, let’s get started by creating a card using these fun new products! We will be using the Vicki Boutin Cosmic Watercolor Sets to create a beautiful shimmery background. We will use a simple watercolor technique that anyone can do! We will also add some of these same colors to a scrap piece of cardstock so that we can die cut some leaves and flowers.

Let’s use our new Scout to emboss this pretty 3D Embossing Folder and to do our die cutting (all included with the machine). You will see how easy it is to use this adorable little machine. It comes with the same Universal Plate System that we use with the Platinum 6 Die Cutting Machine. It works exactly the same way so there is no learning curve. We can add some additional color to the flowers, do a bit of sculpting and add a pretty gold center to each of these.

Off camera I used my Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System to foil a gold “Congratulations” sentiment using the Spellbinders – Essentials Glimmer Sentiments.

We can quickly assemble this elegant slimline card! As a finishing touch we can sprinkle a few metallic circle centers to the embossed flower as well. This will just bring everything together!

Matchbook Gnome Home w/ Matching Envelope!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Oh, happy day!!! I’ve got another brand-new Matchbook to add to your collection and to show you today! We will be using the adorable little Matchbook Gnome Home Set (5908). This is one of four new Matchbook sets that were part of the brand-new release! They include this set as well as the MB Music Set and MB Golf Set and MB Bait and Tackle Set. I recently did a video using the golf set and I will link it here for you:

Let’s go ahead and stamp and color all of the images using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Tea Rose, Pink Flamingo, Yellow, Orange, Scarlet Red, Blossom Pink, Aquamarine Blue, Smoky Teal, Ochre, Mid Green, Olive Green, Lt Gray, Platinum Brown, Warm Gray 6, Beige, Mid Brown.

Once these are colored, we can use the coordinating dies included in the set to cut these out. The die cutting will give us the score lines that we will need to press out with a bone folder.

Next, we can die cut the Ai Matchbook Template Die Set (5317) and the Ai Matchbook Envelope Die Set (5318) using the Ai Gnome Paper Pack (5832). Let’s also die cut the floor for our Gnome Home using the woodgrain paper from that same set.

Now let’s do the assembly and I will give you some tips and tricks for assembling this cute little wonder!

We can place the Matchbook into the envelope, to be sure we have the correct size, and then glue the tabs on the envelope!

We will add a little coordinating mushroom to the front of the envelope using a fun paper piecing technique, but you could add anything you like to the envelope such as a tag, ribbon, charms, sequins or beads. Just have fun and make it your own!

Keep an eye out for the brand-new Matchbook Music Shop video that I will be doing in the near future!

Quick and Easy Religious Cards – Brand-new Ai Dies!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today we will be using the brand-new die Art Impressions Crosses Dies Set (5909) which includes 7 Cross Dies that are simply elegant and beautiful!

We are going to create two quick and easy religious cards! These cards can be used for baptisms, communions, sympathy cards, friendship or anything else you might like.

We can begin by embossing a beautiful background using the Sizzix “Lacey” 3D Textured Impressions Embossing Folder from some white heavyweight cardstock. The card base will also be white, and this will give the card a simple yet elegant look!

Let’s also create a standard A2 card base and cut off a small section of the front of the card. This way we can add a pretty pink metallic paper on the inside of the card that will show from the front of the card.

Now we can die cut this beautiful cross from that same metallic cardstock and two more from some white cardstock. Let’s stack these together for a nice thick cross with lots of dimension!

We can cut the embossed panel down to size (keeping the leftover piece for the second card). Before we attach this to the card let’s add some matching pink velvet ribbon and tie a knot. I will show you a little trick for tying the ribbon easily and perfectly on your card.

Now we will add a strip of metallic cardstock to the inside of the card and for some added interest we will flip the card over and add some score lines from the back to the front. This adds an elegant detail to the card!

Finally, we can add a white heart embellishment to the center of the cross. You could also add some flowers, charms, or a sentiment here as well!

The second (bonus card) was created using the same products and the left-over piece from the embossed panel. I will give you all of the details and dimensions for both cards in today’s video!

This super fun challenge will have us create a card or project using magical creatures such as fairies, mermaids, dragons, gnomes, unicorns, elves, or anything else you would like!

We will be playing with a brand-new stamp and die set from Art Impressions today! It is the Woodland Fairy Set (5915) and it includes eight of the cutest little fairies as well as lots of coordinating sentiments. The dies are also included!

You should also know, there is currently a Woodland Fairy Garden Bundle Set (c5941) which is at a discounted price. This bundle includes the set we are using today, as well as the following sets:

Let’s start by stamping the fairies and coloring them. We will also be stamping and coloring the trees, sky and grass from the Ai Paws to Love MTF Set (4850). For the tress we will mask off a few of the items under the tree so that our little fairy will have a place to rest!

All of the coloring will be done using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Yellow, May Green, Green, Moss Green, Mid Green, Haze Blue, Aquamarine Blue, Beige, Mid Brown, Flesh Colour, Pale Pink, Lt Pink, Peach Pink, Lt Violet, Pale Violet, Lt Blue, Turquoise Green, Brown, Dk Brown.

Let’s also add a bit more ink blending to the sky and grass using the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks in Broken China and Rustic Wilderness. We can also spatter the background with some bleed proof white ink for a more whimsical look!

Now we can build the card base which will measure 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ and add a pretty cloudy patterned paper from the Ai Mini Birthday Paper Pack (5873) and that will measure 5″ x 5″.

Next, let’s layer the card and add some pretty gems to the background as well as some pink beads to the trees. We can pop up a few of the fairies and then add a sentiment from this same stamp set!

Finally, let’s add some Vicki Boutin Cosmic Watercolor spattering for a magical look. This will add some shimmery white sparkle to the card!

So Sweet Armfuls Thank You w/ Stenciling and Glitter Paste

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today we will be using the brand-new Ai So Sweet Armfuls Stamp and Die Set (5904). This little set includes the cute bear that we will be using today, as well as, an elephant, heart, cupcake and a sentiment! When you die cut these little “Armful” images it will create a little slit above and below the arms so that they can hold the heart or cupcake or anything else you may want to place in their arms!

We can die cut the Ai Rounded Rectangle Double Stitched Dies (5062) panel using some Strathmore Bristol Smooth 100lb Cardstock.

Now we can create a stenciled flower background using some Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks in Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry, and Festive Berries. We will add layers of ink using some blending brushes. Starting with the lightest color and adding the two darker colors. Once we have completed stenciling the flowers we can remove the stencil and spatter the background. Let’s set this aside to dry completely and then we will come back to it later.

While we are waiting let’s go ahead and stamp and color the little bear using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Pink Haze, Beige, Mid Brown, Gray Tint. To color the heart, we will use the Distress Oxide Inks and then we will use those same inks to add some polka dots to the heart and the overalls on the bear.

Next, we can die cut the bear and heart. You will see the little slits that I talked about earlier. This is where we will slide in our polka dotted heart.

Now that the background panel is dry let’s add the pretty glitter paste using that same flower stencil. This will add lots of texture and sparkle to this panel!

Now we can grab the Ai Gift Card Pocket Set (5811) to die cut the pieces we need to create pretty bow and the “Thank You” sentiment.

Let’s quickly assemble the card and add a few pearls that have the pink and brown mix which will just bring everything together!

For the inside of the card, let’s stamp the sentiment that came with the stamp set and emboss it using some detail white embossing powder. Now we can die cut the sentiment using one of the heart dies from the Ai Nested Heart Dies Set (5721).

If you enjoyed this little armful bear you might enjoy this other video that I had previously done, and I will link that below:
