Happy Father’s Day Tool Bag Card!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Let’s create this fun masculine Father’s Day Tool Bag! We will be using the Ai Tool Bag & Die Set (5503) which includes the tool bag and all of the tools you will need to fill this bag.

Today’s card was inspired by the current Ai “We “heart” Dads” Challenge which is to honor all of the great Father’s and the wonderful love, guidance, friendship, and support they give us every day!

After stamping all of the images, we will color them using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Lt Gray, Gray, Beige, Lt Brown, Brown, Mid Brown, Olive Green, Moss Green. Once the coloring is done, we will use the coordinating dies and die-cut all of the pieces. The fun part is that the die creates some little slits in the pockets so that we can easily tuck the tools into the bag!

For the wood grain background, we will use the Ai Christmas S2 Paper Pack (5812). We will also use the backside of this paper for the Happy Father’s Day sentiment. The sentiment die is from the Father’s Day Die Set (5927). Let’s also add a strip of the striped paper using the Ai Fall S2 Paper Pack (5973). This striped paper will tie all of the colors together and give our little tool bag a place to sit!

Let’s create the card base from some Kraft cardstock, layer the card, and add the sentiment. Then we can assemble the bag with all of the tools. We will pop this up onto the front of the card.

As a finishing touch we will add some little metal screws!

I think any guy would love to receive a card like this one! However, keep in mind, this doesn’t have to be a masculine card, you could easily create a pretty pink or purple tool bag for your favorite handy female friends as well!

Shabby Chic Gift Card Holder!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today we will be creating a fun Shabby Chic Gift Card Holder using the brand-new Ai Flower & Bug Set (6041) which was designed to fit perfectly on the Ai Gift Card Pocket Set (5811). This new Flower & Bug set includes a pretty flower and stem, a ladybug, a bee, and a little tag!

Let’s get started by using the Ai Mother’s Day Cover Paper Pack (6052) to create the little gift card pocket. As soon as I saw the beautiful roses paper in this pack, I knew that I had to do a Shabby Chic project! We will die cut this, assemble the pocket, and then start adding some ink to the edges to begin the Shabby Chic look. We will use a combination of Lost Shadow, Hickory Smoke, and Vintage Photo inks from the Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pads.

We also need to die-cut the flower, stem, and tag and we will also die-cut a pretty doily from the Tim Holtz Collection. We can ink the flower and tag in the Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick, and Picked Raspberry and the stem in the Lost Shadow and Hickory Smoke. We can ink around the edges of all of these pieces with the Vintage Photo ink as well.

Next, let’s add some Tim Holtz Distress Spritz in the same Vintage Photo. We will use the ink directly from the nozzle and spatter the pocket, flower and stem, doily, and tag! This will add a vintage look and also a bit of shimmer!

Now we will stamp a bit of text onto the tag using the Versafine Clair Ink Pad in Sand Dune. We can add a sentiment to the tag in this same ink. The sentiment if from the Ai Friend Sentiments Set (5734) and it says, “Live life in full bloom”, however, any of the sentiments from this set would be great.

We can add the doily, flower and stem to the pocket. You can use the left-over doily on the backside of the pocket if you want finish off the back of the pocket. Let’s also create a card for the pocket which will be the same size as a gift card. Then we can add the smaller tag to the top on a little bit of an angle.

Let’s add a button to the center of the flower and then we will add some Tim Holtz Distress Foundry Wax to the button and around the edges of the pocket. Be sure to heat set this once you have applied it otherwise it will just turn to a dust like consistency. Once it has been heat set it will add a metallic shine to your project. I will show you exactly how to use this wonderful product in today’s video.

We will also add some sparkle using the Tim Holtz Distress Mica Flakes around the edges of the pocket, flower and mini tag.

Let’s wrap some pretty Hemp Twine in Dusty Rose around the pocket and tie a bow. And, as a finishing touch we will add some Metallic Gems in Matte Gold. These have a nice vintage look to them!

Just add your gift card and sign the card and you are all set to give this pretty vintage gift to a special someone!

Tea Time Pocket Card for Mother’s Day!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today’s card was inspired by the current Ai “Show Mom She’s Special” Blog Challenge. Of course, if you change out the sentiments this card would be great for any occasion with all of its beautiful floral papers and cute little pocket tag! This tag could be removed by the recipient for a fun little bookmark as well!

Let’s begin by stamping the stack of teacups and spoon using the brand-new Ai Tea Time Set (6024). For all of the coloring we will be using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Pale Yellow, Yellow, Shadow Pink, Pale Rose, Sea Green.

Next, we will use the Ai Portfolio Template Die Set (5952) to die cut the tag and pocket. The beautiful pattern papers are from the Ai Easter Bunny Paper Pack (6036). These 6″x6″ double-sided paper packs are perfect for your layered cards since all of the papers coordinate so nicely!

Let’s also die cut the layers for the card using the two largest dies from the Ai Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies (5063). We can layer these onto a standard A2 size card base.

Now, we can add a pretty plaid scalloped rectangle panel onto the card and then let’s add the pocket onto to the card using some strong double-sided tape to attach this securely to the card. To this pocket we can add a strip of floral paper and the little spoon!

Let’s add some Mother’s Day sentiments from this same stamp set but again this card would be great for any occasion if you change out the sentiments for a special birthday, friendship, thinking of you, or thank you card!

For the tag, we will add some hemp twine in Dusty Rose and tie a pretty bow!

Again, using that same paper pack we will fussy cut some flowers and attach those to the cards, gluing some flat and popping up a few others.

As a finishing touch, we will scatter some pretty sparkly white gems around the card for added interest and fun!

Paper Piecing for a “Sweet Little One” Card!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Let’s create a simple “Sweet Little One” card today using a fun and easy paper piecing technique for the little stuffed animal as well as some pretty pattern paper layering!

For our focal image we will use the Ai Baby Boy Set (5184) and we will stamp the stuffed puppy onto some white 100lb cardstock and then on some three different pattern papers from the Ai Inspirational Easter Double Sided Paper Pack (6033). We will stamp once for the body, one for the tummy, face and feet, and one for the bow!

Now we can cut out the entire white puppy and just the pieces we need from the other three pattern papers. Now we can glue these together to create a wonderful floral stuffed animal with lots of pattern and interest! This is such an easy way to get some pattern onto your projects if you are unsure how to draw them on yourself.

Let’s keep the rest of the card fairly simple by creating a standard white A2 size card and add a pink polka dot layer using the Ai Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies (5063).

For that sweet scallop frame, we will use the brand-new Ai Decorative Belly Bands Set (5804) and die cut this from some white cardstock and then layer on a pretty striped paper from that same paper pack to fit inside the frame (3 7/8″ x 2 5/8″). We can glue these two together but before we add this to the card, we can add a cute little sentiment from the Ai Baby Girl Set (5185).

Next, we will add some hemp twine in white and then pop up this entire panel on the card front.

As a finishing touch, let’s add some pretty white hearts around the sentiment!
