Build-A-Bouquet Cards!

Hello Friends!

Watch video tutorial here!

We are going to create two beautiful floral bouquets using the Scrapbook.com Build-A-Bouquet Dies and the Scrapbook.com Bouquet Picks. These two die sets are designed to coordinate nicely together, and the added bouquet pics gives you lots and lots of options for all different seasons and holidays!

In today’s video, I will show you how to cut, color, and assemble these pretty flowers. We will create two different designs, one with a paper wrap around the bouquet and the other will look like it is tied together with a bow!

The two we are making today will be layered onto a thick base that will allow these to sit up nicely on a little easel. Great as not only a card but a little gift as well.

For the background, we will be using the Scrapbook.com Polka Dots 3D Embossing Folder. This is a go-to embossing folder, especially for me, because I absolutely love polka dots!

For the frame, we will be using the Scrapbook.com Nested Stitched Stamps Dies. These are great for your postal style cards, but I think they are also perfect to create an interesting frame for you cards.

Let’s go ahead and assemble all of the layers and our pretty bouquets and add a few sparkly gems for added interest!

Pretty Peony Margin w/ Vellum Overlay Card!

Hello and Welcome!

Watch video tutorial here!

Today’s card would be great for the current Ai “I See Right Through You” Blog Challenge since we will be creating a card with a sheer vellum overlay. That will allow us to see right through to the pretty peonies and will soften the look of the card and give it and elegant touch! For the images, we will use the brand-new Ai Peony Margin Set (6164). This beautiful set comes with two margin stamps, and each have an elegant scroll border around the edges! What’s also great is that the stamps are the reverse image of each other!

Next, we will stamp the image and color it in using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Lt Pink, Pink, Yellow, Ever Green, Green Gray. Now we can grab our gold gel pen and color the pretty scroll border. This will add some shine and elegance!

Using the brand-new Ai Ornate Margin Dies (6155) we will die cut the border of a 5″ x 7″ card base. We are only going to cut the border… so I will show you exactly how to do this in today’s video.

We will add a gold metallic border around the peonies and die cut a sentiment from this same set. This set comes with two border dies and four sentiments. Just select the sentiment that you like best!

Now, let’s add the vellum overlay by cutting it down to the same width as the peony panel and wrapping it around, and attaching it using some 1/4″ double-sided tape.

For the inside of the card, we will cut a piece of pretty pink cardstock, wide enough to fit behind the scroll border on the front of the card. Then we will also add a thin strip of gold metallic cardstock right next to the pink.

Let’s also add a metallic border around the peony border. And then we will select a patterned paper from the Ai Valentine’s Series 2 Cover PP (6182). This paper is plenty long enough for a larger project like this one. We will cut this patterned paper to fit on the left side of the front of the card.

With another piece of pink paper cut to fit on the center of the card panel we will add the “loved” sentiment and pop up the entire piece onto to the card.

Let’s add the peony margin to the card front and add some sparkly pink hearts. We will color in the hearts using our alcohol markers.

Finally, let’s also add a few sequins for a bit more sparkle and interest!

Using the NEW Floral Shop Die Set in a fun new way!

Hello and Welcome!

Watch video tutorial here!

Today’s card was inspired by the current Ai “I see right through you” Blog Challenge. This challenge is to create something that you can see through, so I thought this fun new window design would be perfect for this challenge!

Today we will be using the brand-new Ai Floral Shop Die Set (6159), which is a wonderful add-on die set that was designed to expand the options for your Ai Box Village Die Set. This new set is designed to help you create a sweet flower shop structure! This set has 28 new dies which include a few new windows, a larger door, a longer fence, new scalloped roof dies, and several mini floral dies and so much more! It even includes a “blooms” sentiment die to help you create an adorable flower shop box for your journals. Please also note that this new die set is included in a discounted bundle set. This bundle also includes 5 “Floral Shop” stamp sets which coordinate perfectly with the floral shop structure and are designed to fit perfectly on your tag book journal.

Below is the link for the new Art Impressions Floral Shop Bundle Set (6207):

— https://tidd.ly/4tu4dxb (artimpressions.com)

Let’s get started by creating the card base using the Ai Box Village Template Die Set (6114). We will be using a part of this die to create a tag style card base. I’ll show you how to do this in today’s video!

We will then add some wood grain patterned paper from the Ai Winter Woodland PP (5963) to the card front. Now we can die cut the opening for the window and add the windowpanes on both the front and inside of the card.

Let’s now die cut all of the pieces we will need to create the florals, fence, window box, and awning using the Ai Floral Shop Die Set (6159). We will use the pattern papers from the Ai Mini Birthday PP (5873) and some solid cardstock in Cilantro. We will also die cut a grassy border from that same Cilantro cardstock.

Next, we can go ahead and add all of the die cuts to the card. We will also stamp the “Live life in full…” sentiment on a little banner die and attach to the bottom of the grass. And for the inside of the card, we will use the “Blooms” die from this new set and cut off the letter “s”. So, the inside will complete the sentiment from the front of the card.

We will add some patterned paper to the inside of our tag card in a sweet gingham plaid and then add the sentiment.

For a few finishing touches, let’s add a few pretty butterflies using the Ai Birds & Bugs Set (5561). We can scatter a few on the front of the card and one on the inside of the card. We can also add a pastel heart on the bottom of the window box!

Please join us in this fun new Blog Challenge….we would love to see what you create!

Ornate Poppy Margin Gatefold Card!

Hello and Welcome!

Watch video tutorial!

Let’s get started by die cutting the brand-new beautiful Ai Ornate Margin Dies (6155). There are two borders in this set, so choose whatever one you like best! We will be doing a partial die cutting with this die so that we can get a wider border.

Now we can stamp the brand-new elegant Ai Poppy Margin Set (6163). This absolutely gorgeous stamp set contains two stamps with scroll borders. I love how the borders are the reverse of each other!

We are only going to use the floral portion of the stamp set for today’s card. To do that we will be masking off the scroll border using some temporary tape. Let’s also stamp a few cute bees using the Ai Honey Bee Set (5925).

Now we can color all of our images using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Yellow, Br Yellow, Orange, Red, Wine Red, Haze Blue, Ever Green, Moss Green, Dk Gray. There are coordinating dies for the bees, so let’s die cut those and set them aside.

Once the border is completely colored, we will add some ink blending around the edges of this border using some Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks in Mustard Seed and Gathered Twigs. We will also spatter the panel using the Mustard Seed ink!

Next, we will emboss the entire gatefold yellow card panel using this beautiful “Quilted Stars” embossing folder from Scrapbook.com. (I’ll show you how to create the gatefold design in today’s video). Once it is embossed, we will then rub a bit of pigment white ink over the high spots for added interest and to soften the look!

We will pop up the floral border onto the front of the card and add a nice gold border with some sparkly gold cardstock. Also, let’s will pop up the little bees and add a few “gypsy confetti” gems.

Let’s quickly finish the inside of the card by die cutting a scalloped rectangle panel using the Ai Scalloped Rectangle Dies (6048) and add some ink blending around the edges. Next, using the Ai Encouragement Sentiments Promo Set (5956) we will stamp and emboss the sentiment with some gold embossing powder. For a finishing look on the inside of the card we will add some of those same sequins and a few bees!

Finally, we will add an elegant white sheer ribbon. This will also act as a nice closure for the card; however, you could also create a belly band if you prefer!

Fun Overlay Stamped Background!

Hello and Welcome!

Today I wanted to show you a simple yet fun card using the Ai Stay Hydrated Stamp Set (5928). We will use this stamp set to create a simple background. With this set you can stamp the thermos design and then select one of the overlay stamps for the pattern on the thermos. There are several choices to include a leopard print, paw prints, Aztec design, and a tiger print! So, there are lots and lots of choices to personalize your cards and we are going to use them all today!

We will stamp the images onto some white cardstock and then using the Tim Holtz Distress Mini Ink Pad in the following colors (Shaded Lilac, Picked Raspberry, Abandoned Coral, Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers) we will stamp the overlay images.

Now we can create the standard A2 card base in white and add a pretty pink scalloped rectangle using the Ai Scalloped Rectangle Die Set (6048). We can cut down the background panel to fit into the scalloped rectangle and attach these two together. Now, let’s tie a piece of dusty rose twine around this scalloped rectangle and pop it up on the card.

We can stamp and color our little lady using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Lt Gray, Lt Pink, Turquoise Green, Yellow, Beige, Mid Brown, Flesh Colour. Let’s take the coordinating die and cut her out. We will also die cut the lady one more time onto some black cardstock. This black silhouette image will get attached behind the one that we colored in to create a bit of a shadow and to make the image stand out from the background. You will want to offset it a little bit!

Finally, we can attach the lady to our card! This is a simple yet impactful card that can be used for a variety of occasions including birthday, friendship, thinking of you, and so much more!

Using Banner Dies to Create a Unique Background!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Let’s use our banner/flag dies to create a unique and easy background for our card! We will use the Ai Flag Double Stitched Dies (5133) to create the little banners in two different sizes. For papers, we will be using the Ai Easter Bunny Paper Pack (6036) which has lots of florals, dots, stripes and plaids and will give us a nice variety of patterns and colors for this background. This is also a great way to use up all of your little paper scraps in a fun, new way!

This card was inspired by the current Ai “Blossoms and Blooms” Blog Challenge which is to create card or project that includes floral stamps, papers, embellishments, or anything else floral that you might like!

Once we have die cut the banners from a variety of papers, we can then cut a piece of white cardstock at 5 1/4″ x 5 1/4″ and start adding the banners. To line up the banners, I found it easiest to mark the center of each side of the white cardstock with a pencil (on all four sides) and then line up the larger floral banners by centering the “V” shape of the banner with that center pencil mark. Next, we can add the smaller banners to fill in between the larger ones. I will show you this easy way to line up these banners in today’s video.

Next, we will cut the circles for the center of the card using the Ai Circle Double Stitched Dies (5064). This will give us that nice, stitched border which will coordinate nicely with the banner/flag dies.

Now we can stamp the teacup and spoon from some pattern papers. I’ll show you how to cut and layer these in the video.

Let’s stamp the “BEAU-TEA-FUL!” sentiment using the Ai Valentine Bears Set (5005) and center it on the top portion of the white circle.

Now we can layer up the card and attach the teacup and spoon and pop-up the circles with some dimensional 3D foam squares. For a bit of sparkle let’s add some pretty clear, iridescent drops around the card. These are perfect because they won’t add any color but will tie everything together nicely!

For a finishing touch, we can add a pretty mint green rose from the Tim Holtz idea-ology Heirloom Florals collection!

Here is the other video I mentioned in today’s video using the Ai Tea Time Set to create a pretty Mother’s Day Pocket card:

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!
