Pretty Poinsettia Card – Embossing using your dies!!!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today let’s create a pretty and elegant Christmas card using the brand-new Ai WC Poinsettia Set (5828). We will be using the three sizes of the poinsettia images to create some very dimensional flowers. I also want to show you how you can easily use your dies to emboss your cards. This technique can be used with any of your dies!

Let’s begin by stamping the poinsettias onto some Strathmore Bristol Smooth Cardstock and then we can color them using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Wine Red.

Using our detail scissors we can cut these out and then we can add some dimension using a sculpting mat and tools. Now we can layer these flowers. For the larger flower we will use all three sizes and for the smaller ones we will layer the medium and small flowers.

Let’s add a gold center to each flower using the Hero Arts Pearls in gold!

We can also die cut some greenery and berries using the Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits – Merry & Bright set. By adding more of the Hero Arts Pearls in the White we can give these berries a touch of elegance! And to the sprigs we can add the Tim Holtz pretty Rock Candy glitter!

Let’s die cut the snowflake frame from the Ai Snowflake Frame Set (5782). We will layer this frame onto some vellum paper and a pretty snowflake paper from the Ai Christmas S2 Paper Pack (5812). We can also stamp the word “magic” onto to the vellum paper using the Ai Christmas Sentiments Set (5566).

The beautiful “Christmas” die cut sentiment is from the Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits – Vault Series: Christmas 2021. We will die cut this from some pretty gold sparkle cardstock.

I’d like to show you a really fun and easy technique today. This technique will allow you to do some beautiful embossing using your dies! This is a great way to get more use from you dies! I’ll show you exactly how to do this in today’s video! I’ll be using the Spellbinders Platinum 6 Die Cutting machine, but you should use the instructions for your specific machine.

Let’s do a quick assembly of all of these wonderful elements! You could totally change this card by changing the color of the poinsettias and greenery.

As I mentioned in the video, there is a Christmas Evergreen Bundle Set (c5854) currently available at a discounted price. If you buy all four sets, including the one we are using today, you will receive a 20% discount! This is a great deal, and you will find it listed down below for you as well.

Front Porch Patriotic Card w/ Metallic Texture Paste!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

I’ve got a brand new front porch stamp and die set to show you today! This fantastic set is the Ai Front Porch Patriotic Set (5494) and includes all of the add-on items needed to create a beautifully patriotic front porch scene! Please note that you will need the Ai Front Porch Set (5512) to create the basic front porch and door. I’ll talk a bit more about that in the video and give you a closer look at that set!

To set the scene for our card we will be creating a star filled sky using the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks in several beautiful blues and for some added dimension we will be using the wonderful Ranger Texture Paste in Metallic White! This paste literally goes on like butter and just adds so much texture and dimension to our starry sky!

Next we can stamp, color and die cut all of our patriotic images using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Peach Pink, Carmine Red, Yellow, Smoky Yellow, Ever Green, Blue Gray, Blue, Lt Gray, Gray, Beige, Mid Brown.

For the sentiment let’s go to the Ai Christmas Sentiments Set (5566) and select “Warmest Wishes” and stamp it onto the banner from the Ai Journal Template Die Set (5543). This will be a great place to put the red, white and blue banner!

Let’s assemble the card and add a few sparkly stars to the pillow, mat, bucket and star!

This card is going to be great for Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Veterans Day or any birthday celebrations that occur around these holidays! This is just such a great addition to the Front Porch Series….I hope you love this set as much as I do!

Elegant Christmas Wreath Card!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

I’m so happy and thrilled to be kicking off the brand new Ai Blog Challenge which is called “Diamonds and Pearls” which will challenge you to create a card or project using your favorite baubles! My first thought was to create an elegant wreath card and a “go to” wreath stamp and die set for me is the Ai Christmas Wreath Set (4791).

To set the scene, let’s grab a beautiful blue sky paper and a white woodgrain paper from the Photoplay – It’s a wonderful Christmas – 6″x6″ Paper Pad. For the rectangle die we will be using the Ai Rectangle A2 Double-Stitched Dies (5063).

Next, we can die cut a window using the Ai Journal Template Die Set (5543). This set contains several dies that not only create a wonderful journal but also can be used separately and in many different ways!

To add to our elegant look we can stamp and die cut the beautiful wreath using some embossing powder in Liquid Platinum.

For our coloring, we will simply add a bit of Haze Blue marker and some Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen for some sparkle.

The sentiments will come from the new Ai Christmas Sentiments Set (5542). This set has tons of Holiday sentiments that you will love!

Let’s die cut a pretty banner for our sentiment using that same Ai Journal Template Set that we used earlier.

We will pop-up the wreath and sentiment using some 3D Foam Tape. Finally, we can add some beautiful baubles and pearls…of course!

Shaker Gift Card – Birds & Bugs!

Hello and Welcome!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today I’ve got another really cute brand new stamp set to show you! This set is the Ai Birds & Bugs Set (5561) and it includes the sweetest little birds, bees, butterflies, and lady bugs! This set also includes the coordinating dies!

I wanted to show you all of these images on one card…so we will be creating this little shaker gift card! We will add a second stamp set by using the Ai On the Sparrow HL Set (5130) to include a branch for our lady bugs to sit.

To create the frames needed to for the shaker element we will be using the Ai Journal Template Die Set (5543). We will also grab a banner die from this set to stamp and die cut our sentiment. The “A gift for you” sentiment is from the Ai Christmas Sentiments Set (5566).

To set the scene we will stencil a cloudy sky using the new Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink Pad in Uncharted Mariner. We can place the four cloudy backgrounds on a cardstock panel….using the frame to line things up perfectly!

Now let’s stamp and color all of our images using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Peach Pink, Deep Vermillion, Yellow, Orange, Mustard, Smoky Teal, Haze Blue, Lt Red Grape, Beige, Mid Brown.

We will create the shaker pockets by layering up several frames. Once we have these glued together we can place them on a card panel…lining them up with the sky backgrounds. Now let’s add some pretty glitter in each of these openings and cover this with an additional frame that has a sheet of acetate glued behind it. I’ll give you some tips and tricks for all of these steps as we go along! Now we can close up the shaker element by adding this acetate frame.

Once this shaker piece is complete we can finish assembling the card by embossing a card panel with a beautiful “Geo Screen” stencil. This finished card will measure 4 3/4″ x 3 1/2″.

We can quickly finish the inside of the card using a scallop rectangle die from that same Ai Journal Template Die Set (5543) and we will stencil this panel to coordinate with the little windows in our card. This will give us a place to write a note or stamp another sentiment.

This set can be used with any of your other stamp sets…these images will be perfect to finish off any scene!
