Using Double-Sided Pattern Papers to Create a Gatefold Card!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Let’s use our double-sided pattern papers today to create a fun, whimsical, and colorful gatefold card! By using the Ai Easter Bunny Paper Pack (6036) we will have all of the coordinating papers to create a gatefold card that will have pretty patterns on both the inside and outside of the card.

This card was inspired by the current Ai “Un-Bear-ably Cute!” Blog Challenge which is to create any card or project using a bear! So, I thought we would use the cute Ai Valentine Bears Set (5005) and we will be using the little bear with the string of hearts for our focal image today! We will also use some bees from the Ai Honey Bee Set (5925).

Let’s stamp and color the bear and bees using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Pink Haze, Lt Pink, Pale Yellow, Yellow, Haze Blue, Flesh Colour, Beige, Mid Brown, Warm Gray 6.

Next, we will create the frames, flaps, and panels for this fun gatefold card … and I will show you how to create all of these pieces and give you all of the measurements in today’s video. The hardest part is selecting the pattern papers that you will want to use for each of the sections of the card. We will be using the Ai Portfolio Template Die Set for the scallop frame and to create the two flaps on the front of the card. I’ll show you a little trick for hiding the tabs on the front flaps and I’ll also show you a trick for lining up the frame on the inside of the card perfectly with the one on the front of the card!

We will stamp a few cute sentiments using the Ai Panda Set (5821) which will say “bear hugs” and “I like you beary much”!

Let’s assemble the card and add our cute little bees for a bit more interest and whimsy! We can also add some clear glitter pen to the wings of the butterflies and the string of hearts.

As a finishing touch, let’s add some sparkly gems in gold dust to the front of the card!

Picket Fence Studios – Artist Annie in the Secret Garden!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

I can’t wait to show you this very special little stamp set from the Picket Fence Studios – Freckle Friends – Artist Annie Stamp Set. This set is part of a series of “Freckle Friends” and today we are going to have our artist Annie painting her canvas in her secret garden!

To begin, we will stamp the images and color them using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Flesh Colour, Lt Pink, Pink Flamingo, Pale Yellow, Yellow, Ice Blue, Sea Green, May Green, Green, Scarlet Red, Lt Violet Purple, Blue Gray, Lt Gray, Beige, Gray. Now you can die-cut these images using the coordinating die set.

To set the scene, let’s create the secret garden window using the Lawn Fawn Secret Garden Window Set. We will cut the rectangle panel using the LF Outside In Stitched Rectangle Stackables with the LF Cardstock in Guava and die-cut the arched window from this panel using the LF Secret Garden Window Set.

Now let’s create the white garden frame using some white 100lb cardstock. To do this we will need to cut the arched window die and the garden die at the same time… just centering one inside the other.

For the pretty sky in the background, we will die-cut another rectangle panel using that same white cardstock and then we will use the LF Stitched Cloud Backdrop: Portrait Die to create a beautiful sky. Let’s ink this sky with some Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink in Tumbled Glass.

Before we start assembling the card, we can stamp the “Happy Day!” sentiment from this same set using some white embossing powder. We can also stamp “hi” using the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide in Saltwater Taffy.

Let’s attach the frame to the arched window with some 1/4″double sided tape and then add some pretty LF Hemp Twine in Dusty Rose. Now we can add some foam tape to this panel, but before we attach this to the cloudy sky panel, we can add Annie to the inside of the secret garden window. Now we can attach the entire panel to the front of a white card base.

Using your white gel pen, add a few highlights here and there. This will really make everything pop!

Let’s add the easel and a few sparkly gems, and some clear glitter pen to the front of the card for a finishing touch!

Using your Alpha & Numeric dies to create a Patriotic shaker card!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Let’s create a fun Patriotic Shaker Card today! We will be using the brand-new Ai Large Letter Die Set (5910) and Ai Large Number Die Set (5911). These large dies are perfect for creating this style of card but would also be great on your scrapbook pages and journal pages!

This card goes along perfectly with the current Ai “ABC, 123” Blog Challenge which is to use your number, or letter dies to create a unique card or project!

We will begin by creating the shaker element for the card. To do this we will be using the Ai Journal Template Die Set (5543). We will grab the Scalloped Rectangle Die and the Window Frame Die. Let’s die cut the Scalloped Rectangle from some pretty red cardstock and a Window Frame from some bluejay cardstock.

We can assemble these two together by adding some clear acetate. Next, we can add some 3D Foam Strips and then add our cute little “Firecracker” embellishments and use some sparkly cardstock for the background panel. I will give you all of the instructions and details for the assembly in today’s video….it is quick and easy to do!

Now that the shaker element is complete, we can die cut a plaid panel for the front of the card using the Ai Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies (5063). Let’s add this to a white card base!

Now we can die cut the letters to create the word “July” using some red and white striped cardstock. Let’s also die cut the number “4” out of that same red cardstock we used earlier. We will also cut a few extras out of some white cardstock, glue them together, for added dimension and interest. Next, let’s glue the letters into each of the window frame openings and add a pretty sparkly scalloped circle in the center of the card for our number.

By adding a few of the “firecracker” shaker bits to the front of the card we can bring the card together nicely!

Keep in mind that this card design would be great if you change out your papers and colors and die cut the word “baby”, “hope”, “love” or even a name! A date would also work well, such as, “2024” for a graduation, wedding date or birthday! Just have some fun!

Fun w/ Large Alphabet Dies!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Let’s have some fun today using the brand-new Ai Large Letter Die Set (5910) to create an elegant floral friendship card! We will be using a pretty inlay technique to make these large letters look extra special!

This card was inspired by the current Ai “ABC, 123” Blog Challenge which is to use your number, or letter dies to create a unique card or project!

Let’s begin by creating the card base and adding a sweet lacy border using the brand-new Ai Bible Journaling Decorative Margin Dies (5972). This 7″ long border die is perfect for this larger card that we will be creating, and I will show you a little trick for cutting it just along the edge of the card.

Now we can add some pretty patterned papers from the Ai Encouragement Paper Pack (5955) and the Ai Encouragement Cover Paper Pack (5960). We will add the gingham plaid to the front of the card and the polka dot paper on the inside of the card. I will give you all of the measurements in today’s video. But before we attach the plaid paper to the card, we will die cut the word “FRIENDSHIP” onto the panel (be sure to keep the little pieces for the center of the R and D). Let’s go ahead and assemble the layers of the card.

Next, we will also die cut the letters again from some darker violet floral paper and these will get inlayed into the letter openings. This is a super fun and simple technique that adds lots of interest to your cards!

Now we can add some pretty iridescent ribbon to the top of the card and stamp a few sentiments using the Ai Friend Sentiments Set (5734).

Let’s stamp some floral images from the Ai My Hope Set (5936) and color them using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Yellow, Pale Violet, Violet, May Green, Green. We will fussy cut these images using our detail scissors leaving a little white border around the edges.

Once we have the florals laid out on the card, we will glue some directly onto the card and pop-up some others for more interest and dimension!

This card would be great for a Mother’s Day card if you substitute the word “FRIEND” for “MOTHER”. You could certainly put any word or name you prefer and just change out the sentiments! Just have fun!

Center Step Card with **NEW** Bunny Hugs Set!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today we will be creating a fun “Center Step Card” using the brand-new Ai Bunny Hugs Set (6008). This cute set has some wonderful bunnies, a topiary of eggs, a basket of carrots, cute butterflies, several sentiments and so much more!

Let’s get started by stamping, coloring and die-cutting all of the images that we will be using on our card today. All of the coloring will be done using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Peach Pink, Pink, Sugared Almond Pink, Lt Pink, Lt Carmine, Pale Yellow, Yellow, Ice Blue, Cobalt Blue, Turquoise Green, May Green, Green, Orange, Lt Brown, Beige, Oatmeal, Mid Brown, Lilac, Lt Gray.

Next, we can create the “Center Step” base of the card and layers using some pretty patterned papers from the Ai Basic Yellow, Green, and Teal Paper Packs. I will give you all of the instructions for the base of the card and all of the measurements for each of the layering papers in today’s video!

Once the base of the card and layers have been assembled, we will create a pretty bow for the card using the Ai Gift Card Pocket Set (5811). We can glue this to the bottom of the card, and this will add lots of interest and dimension to the card!

Let’s stamp a couple of the sentiments from this set onto some white cardstock and some yellow polka dot cardstock using the label die from the Ai Journal Template die Set (5543). We can also add some black stitching around the edges of these sentiments using a permanent black marker. We can place one of these on the outside of the card and the other on the inside.

For a bit of sparkle, let’s add some pretty white gems around the card, sentiment label, and to the bow!

Creating a Quilted Background – Peeking Bunnies!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today we will be creating a fun quilted background for our card! This background can be used on many of your cards, and these are really fun to make ahead and have ready for your future projects! Each of the quilted squares will be die-cut from the Ai Square Double Stitched Dies (5061). For paper we will be using the brand-new Ai Basic Yellow Paper Pack (6012). However, you could use any of the brand-new Paper Packs which include the Basic Yellow, Basic Pink, Basic Teal and Basic Green. You could easily mix and match these colors for a beautiful, quilted background as well.

After selecting some of the pretty papers in yellow plaids, dots, and stripes, and die-cutting them, we will add a bit of Versafine Clair Ink Pad in Sand Dune around the edges of each of the squares. This will soften the look of the squares and bring everything together.

Let’s set those aside and stamp, color and die-cut our images from the Ai Peeking Bunny Set (5870). This little easter set is so cute because when you cut the wagon it will create a little slit so that you can tuck your bunny inside. The dies will also cut some slits under the paws of the little bunny so that the bunny can hold an egg, sentiment, or just peek over the top of the cart, as we will be doing today All of today’s coloring was done using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Lt Pink, Pale Rose, Orange, Yellow, Ice Blue, Lt Blue, Pale Yellow, Lt Green, Lt Violet, Lt Gray, Beige, Mid Brown.

Now we can create a standard A2 size top folding card base out of some Kraft 100lb cardstock. Let’s also die-cut this beautiful scallop rectangle panel using the Lawn Fawn Lacy Rectangle Stackables Dies and some white cardstock. We will also cut a Kraft panel for the front of this scallop rectangle, and I will give you all of the dimensions in today’s video.

Let’s glue the scallop rectangle to the front of the card and add the kraft panel on top. Now for the fun part…. adding the stitched squares in a random pattern. Let’s also stamp the “Hello Easter” from the Ai Easter Sentiments Set (5733), to the center square using that same Sand Dune Ink.

Now we can add the little cart with the bunny tail sticking out, and the peeking bunny over the top and some additional eggs along the bottom of the card panel using a combination of 3D Foam Adhesives and glue.

Using a white gel pen we can add some details to the eggs and some highlights and for some additional dimension we will also add some clear glaze to a few of the eggs.

Once all of these pieces have been assembled, let’s add some pretty clay hearts in yellow and white!

If you like you can save one additional square for the sentiment on the inside of the card, just to tie everything together!
