Pivot Pop-up Card – Bunnies and Chicks!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

For my feature card today, and to kick off our new Ai Blog Challenge, we will be using some brand new images from the Art Impressions Spring 2023 Release to create a super fun and interactive PIVOT-POP UP card! This challenge is to create both the inside and front of your card….so this card will really highlight the inside of our card in a special way!

We’ve got the cutest little bunnies and chicks from the Bunny and Chicks Set (5737) and some festive Easter eggs and a cute little basket from the Easter Egg House Set (5738). These images are part of the Ai Watercolor Journal Series but we will be using them a bit differently today!

Let’s go ahead and stamp, color, and cut out all of our images using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Peach Pink, Pink, Lemon Yellow, Yellow, Orange, Lt Violet, Purple, Lt Blue, Lt Green, Turquoise Green, Deep Green, Lt Brown, Beige, Mid Brown, Lt Gray, Platinum Brown. We will leave a little white border all the way around the images when we cut them out.

To set the scene for our card we will be using the brand new Ai Easter Journal Series Paper Pack (5742). This paper is just perfect for Easter and Spring cards! Lots of pastels and pretty patterns! The sky will be die cut from the pastel blue polka dot paper and the ground will be a purple floral pattern. This will look like a beautiful field of flowers!

Now we can create the Pivot Pop-up mechanism for the inside of the card. I will give you all of the instructions for die cutting and assembling this mechanism in today’s video!

We can attach all of our cute little images to the card and pop-up. We will also die cut a collections of pretty clouds for the sky. On two of the clouds, on the front of the card, we will be stamping “Hippity” and “Hoppity” in a soft blue color. And for the inside of the card we will be using the brand new Ai Nested Oval Dies to create a cute place for our inside sentiment which says “Easter’s on its way!”. All of these sentiments are from the brand new Ai Easter Sentiments Set (5733).

I had a great time creating this card and I hope it has inspired you to give it a try!!!

NEW RELEASE – Cat Matchbook w/ Matching Envelope!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today’s card and video were inspired by the current Ai Blog Challenge which is called the “Green Galore Challenge”. For this challenge we need to create a card or project using lots of green…in honor of St. Patrick’s Day…but any green will do. Just have fun with the color green!

I really wanted to challenge myself so I decided to use the BRAND NEW Matchbook Cats Set (5730). So our walls, furniture, pillows, rug, etc. will be done in a variety of greens. I would never have used this combination on my own without this challenge. That is why these challenges are so great…they really help you get inspired to look at your supplies in a whole new way…and maybe combine things together that you may not normally think of doing.

Just keep in mind that you will need the MB Template Dies (5317) to create the base of the card and you will need the MB Envelope Dies (5318) to create the coordinating envelope.

I will give you all of the instructions for assembling the little matchbook and envelope! These are so much fun to create and collect. There are LOTS AND LOTS of matchbook designs to choose from but this little cat set is brand new and just so very cute!

The new release also includes the following Matchbook Sets: MB Chicken (5731), and MB Tool Shed (5729)! These new sets are just so cute and will be a great addition to your Matchbook collection!

We will be using some absolutely beautiful papers today from the 49 and Market 6″x8″ Spectrum Sherbet Collection Pack – Tidal Wave set. These papers have all different shades of greens and turquoise greens which are perfect for this project!

All of the coloring was done using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Emerald Green, Turquoise Green, Ever Green, Lt Green, Deep Green, Moss Green, Brick Beige, Beige, Lt Brown, Brown, Mid Brown, Lt Gray, Cool Gray #6.

Please join us in our new challenge….we can’t wait to see what you create!!!

Happy Spring Slimline Flip Card -NEW RELEASE!!!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today we will be creating a super fun flip card using a BRAND NEW RELEASE from Art Impressions! The cute little bunny images are from the Happy Spring Flip Card Set (5736). This set includes the bunnies that you will need for the outside of the flip card, the inside of the flip card, and a spring sentiment! However, please note that you will need the Ai Flip Card Die Set (5103) in order to create the flip card mechanism.

We can start by creating the card base using the flip card die. Although there are measurements on the packaging for a standard A2 size card, we will be creating a slimline card today, so I will give you all of the measurements to create this slimline style card.

Let’s start by cutting the card panels using the Ai Slimline Die Set (5463). We will cut two panels from some pretty turquoise cardstock for the sky on the inside and outside of the card. Then we can cut one from some lime green cardstock to create our grassy borders. These dies will give us a nice stitched border all the way around!

To set the scene we will be using a pretty cloudy stencil and some white and blue inks to give the clouds a bit more interest and dimension.

We will need to grab that flip die one more time in order to cut a notch out of the inside card panel. I will show you a quick and easy way to do this!

Now we can stamp and color the cute little bunnies using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Lt Carmine, Purple, Yellow, Orange, Lt Green, Deep Green, Turquoise Green, Gray Brown, Mid Brown, Beige, Lt Gray.

Let’s also die cut some tiny flowers using the Ai Garden Mini Dies (5336) using some pretty patterned papers in a variety of pastel colors. We can add an orange center to each of the flowers and then add a bit of glaze to the centers for additional dimension and shine!

For our “Happy Spring” sentiment we will create a striped panel and add a fun banner from the Ai Slimline Die Set (5463)! It will look like our little bunnies are holding up this sentiment banner!

I hope you enjoyed a first look at these cute, fun and happy new spring images!

I’ve got another brand new stamp and die set to share with you today from Art Impressions! This set is called the Ai Little Boy Front & Back Set (5716) and it includes both the front of the little boy and the back…plus the coordinating dies!

This set is absolutely perfect for the spinner style cards because when you line up the front and the back they will be perfectly symmetrical. It will allow us to place the thread right down the middle of the image and then we can sandwich the thread thread in between to create our spinner mechanism. I will give you all of the details and some tips and tricks for creating this spinner card in the video!

First let’s go ahead and stamp and color our little boy…who is just so adorable! All of the coloring will be done using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Flesh Colour, Sugared Almond Pink, Yellow, Deep Red, Lt Brown, Beige, Green Gray, Dk Oatmeal, Mid Brown.

We will be using some patterned papers from the Photo Play “Thankful” Paper Pad to set the scene for our background! To die cut these we will be using the Ai Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies (5063). To cut the oval opening in the front of the card we will be using the Brand New Ai Nested Oval Die Set (5727).

Let’s add a few fun elements to the scene using the Ai WC Fence Die Set (4967) and the Ai Cats Mini Dies Set (5333).

We will also grab some fun sentiments for the card from the Ai Mr. Set (5406) and the Ai Baby Critters Set (5400).

If you love these Front and Back Sets be sure to check out the video I did using the Ai Little Girl Front and Back Set which is linked below:

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today we will be using the brand new Art Impressions Front and Back Little Girl Set (5717)! This set is so much fun because…as the name indicates…you get both the front and the back of this little girl! This set also contains the coordinating dies which will make her really easy to cut out. If you have been stamping for quite some time as I have, you may remember that Art Impressions had a wonderful collection of front and back images back in the day…and I just absolutely loved them. So needless to say, I was very excited to see some brand new images!

For a little added interest on this card, we will be creating a super fun swing card. This will highlight both the front and back of our little girl really nicely. I will give you all of the measurements and instructions for creating this super fun swing card in today’s video!

Let’s start by coloring the little girl, both the front and back, and to do this we will be using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Pale Rose, Yellow, Mustard, Flesh Colour, Beige, Mid Brown, Dull Blue.

For our background papers we will be using the beautiful Echo Park 6″x6″ Paper Pad called “Day in the Life (No. 2)” which is just so pretty! Finally, we can fussy cut a few of the flowers from this paper to fill her little basket!

Office Party Birthday Window Card!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today’s card was inspired by the current Art Impressions Blog Challenge which is to create a card or project with a window. Any kind of window will do…maybe a shadowbox window, a vehicle with windows, a front porch with a window….you get the idea! Just have fun and use your imagination! I thought I would make a fun and festive birthday card for a co-worker using an office window!

To get started we can grab some pretty striped and polka dot paper from the Ai Paper Pack (Halloween Journal Series) and die cut them using the Ai Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies (5063). These fun patterned papers can be used all year round….not just for Halloween!

Let’s die cut a window from the Ai Journal Template Die Set (5543) using some white cardstock. We can now attach the striped paper and the window opening to a piece of acetate.

Now we can stamp and color all of our images from the Ai Office Party Set (4998) using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Peach Pink, Flesh Colour, Bright Yellow, Orange, English Lavender, Lilac, Purple, Lt Red Grape, Lt Gray, Mustard.

We can do a bit of fussy cutting to cut our all of our images. Let’s now attach the focal image behind the office window and next we can use some 3D Foam Tape to attach the front panel of our card.

Now we can add the other little images including the clipboard, paper & pencil, and the colorful balloons…which all come included with this fun stamp set!

Let’s die cut a little frame from the Ai Journal Template Set (5543) for our sentiment which will say “Here’s to another year of keeping each other sane!”.

We can add some Wink of Stella Clear Glitter to the balloons for a bit of sparkle and let’s also add some beautiful Purple Opalescent sequins!

See-through Acetate Tent Fold Card!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today we will be creating a fun See-through Acetate Tent Fold Card! I just couldn’t resist using this adorable Ai Love Thing Set (4752)! This sweet couple is enjoying a delicious box of chocolates and they just look like they are in absolute heaven! Once I had that thought in my head I just felt like they had to be floating in and on some beautiful puffy clouds!

To get started let’s stamp and color our focal image using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Pale Rose, Deep Red, Flesh Colour, Haze Blue, Smoky Teal, Lt Gray, Oatmeal, Beige, Mid Brown, Gray Brown.

Next we can cut out this image using a pair of detail scissors….leaving a small white border all the way around.

Now we can create our puffy clouds using the Lawn Fawn Outside In Stitched Cloud Stackable Dies. I’ll show you how to line up the die in order to create the top tab for our card. I’ll also give you a few tips for sandwiching the clear acetate between this cluster of clouds. This acetate will create a nice sturdy yet see-through cover for our card. This creates a really unique and special look on your card!

For some additional clouds we will use the Lawn Fawn Cloudy Stencil and the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink Pad in Stormy Sky. Next, we can add some additional interest by using the Lawn Fawn Falling Hearts Stencils to add some pretty hearts to the sky.

We will be stamping the coordinating sentiment from this same stamp set and this says…”It’s a love thing”. So true!!!

Center Flap Valentine Card – Nuts About You

Happy New Year!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

In today’s card we will be creating a fun “Center Flap” card! In the video I will be giving you all of the dimensions to create this unique fun flap card.

For our focal image we will be using this cute little squirrel from the Ai Nuts About You Stamp Set (4885). We will be stamping and coloring in this little critter using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Lt Carmine, Deep Vermilion, Lt Gray, Oatmeal, Beige, Mid Brown, Dk Brown. We can also stamp and color some little acorns to adorn our card!

We will be using a pretty striped patterned paper from the Lawn Fawn “All the Dots” Paper Pack. And also from Lawn Fawn we will be using the Guava and Paper Bag 100lb weight cardstocks for the card base and some layering.

To create the beautiful scalloped frame for our image we will be using the Ai Journal Rectangle Dies. Now we will die cut this several times and layer these together to give us a nice thick frame!

Next, to create the pretty scallop borders we will be using the Ai Journal Pocket Set Dies. I’ll show you how to extend this die in order to create a longer border. This is a great technique for extending the use of your small border dies!

Again, I will show you how to easily cut your cardstock in order to create this flap design. Now let’s add all of our layers and images. We can stamp our sentiments and heart banner from the same stamp set.

Finally, we can add some pretty pink sequins for added sparkle and shine!
