Art Impressions Halloween – Front and Back Card!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

https://youtu.be/YgitkMy1_B4

I’ve got some brand-new products to show you today including some new Front and Back images! These new images are just so cute, and we will be using the cute little FB Sitting Boy (5777) and FB Sitting Dog (5780) on today’s Halloween card!

So, let’s getting started by stamping and coloring the boy and dog using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Flesh Colour, Lt Gray, Cool Gray #6, Dark Agate, Orange, Dark Peony, Deep Violet, Mid Brown, Olive Green, Dark Green.

Next, we can die cut these images and glue them back-to-back….and they will line up perfectly!

To set the scene we will be creating a spooky night sky and moon. Let’s grab some Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink Pads in Picked Raspberry, Wilted Violet, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot. But first we need to mask off the area for our moon using the Tim Holtz (Stampers Anonymous) Layering Moon Mask. This is a two-part mask which will give us the details on the moon. We will use the TH Distress Oxide Ink in Hickory Smoke.

Next, we can spatter the background with some sparkle and also some white ink!

Let’s also stamp and die cut some leaves, pumpkins and a little bench for our scene using the Ai Halloween Slimline Set (5460), the Ai Peek-a-boo Set (5506) and the WC Sitting Places Set (5055).

Now, we can take the brand-new Ai WC Journal Halloween Die Set to create the spooky fence opening for the card and a raven, bats, and spider web using some black cardstock. This set will give you the rectangle that will cut the exact size of the opening needed to perfectly fit your spooky fence. I will give you some more detailed instructions in the video for aligning and assembling this frame very easily!

Next, we can die cut some Lawn Fawn Hillside Borders out of that same black cardstock. At this time, we can also stamp the sentiment which simply says, “Happy Halloween”.

We can do our card assembly…making sure to line up the boy and dog so that they show through to the inside of the card. Let’s add our pumpkins, leaves, raven and spider web to our scene! And keep in mind that when you die cut the little pup there are slits under his paws so that he can hold a variety of objects…we will place our jack-o-lantern in his paws!

Finally let’s take a white gel pen and add a few highlights here and there!!! So don’t be FRIGHTENED to give this card a try!!!

STAMPtember 2023 – SSS Exclusive Apple Cider Set!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

https://youtu.be/Sh9AtYcaRV8

It’s that time of year again and I’m so excited! The brand new exclusive STAMPtember set has been released in conjunction with Art Impressions! It is this adorable Apple Cider Set (SSE23A) which includes this wonderful little lady with her basket of apples, as well as, a glass of cider and several perfectly coordinated sentiments. There is even a little candle that can be placed in the apple to create a cute birthday card.

This is a limited edition set which once sold out will not be available again….so don’t wait….if you love it be sure to place your order as soon as possible. I think this set is going to go fast since it is just so unique and simply adorable!!!

We will stamp this little lady onto some Strathmore Bristol Smooth Cardstock and color her using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Flesh Colour, Deep Vermillion, Apple Green, Ever Green, Blue Gray, Lt Gray, Beige, Lt Brown, Mid Brown.

To set the scene we will be stenciling a pretty sunray using the Lawn Fawn Sunray Background Stencil. We will be using some Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks to do this and then we can spatter the background using the Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen.

Next we can die cut the Lawn Fawn Leafy Tree Backdrop (Portrait) several times to create our dimensional tree. The top wood grain layer will be die cut using the brand new Art Impressions Gnome Paper Pack (5832). We can ink up the tree and frame with our sponge dauber and some Ground Espresso ink. To finish the tree we will ink up the greenery using the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks. We can also die cut and ink up our grassy borders this same way using the Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Borders Dies. On the smaller grassy border we can stamp our adorable sentiment. We will be using the sentiment that says “Always look on the Bright Cider Life”.

Let’s also stamp and color in the “Apple Festival” banner using the Art Impressions Floral Truck Set (5511) and then add the lettering using a permanent black pen. Again we will go back to the Zigs to color these banners using Deep Vermillion, Lt Gray and Yellow.

Now we can create the leaves and the super cute little rake using the Art Impressions Harvest Journal Die Set (5592). To color in the leaves we will be using an ink smooshing technique to apply several ink colors. We will be using the Tim Holtz Mini Distress Ink Pads in a variety of Fall colors.

Now for the fun part….assembling this fun Fall scene!

Whimsical Flowers Bookmarks!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

I’ve got an easy and fun project for you today! We will be creating some pretty bookmarks using the brand new Ai Whimsical Flowers Set (5797). This pretty little floral stamp set will coordinate with all of your watercolor journal dies and stamps.

This card was inspired by the current Ai Blog Challenge called “Feeling Blue”. For this challenge you can create any project that feature blues…any blue color will do! Please join us in this fun challenge by submitting your project….we would love to see what you create!

Let’s begin by die cutting our bookmarks onto some Strathmore Bristol Smooth 100lb Cardstock using the Ai Journal Cover & Bookmark Die Set (5723). This set has several dies that can be used to create your journal pages and some fun borders. It also includes two bookmark dies that we will be using today!

We can stamp a nice selection of flowers onto the bottom of each bookmark using the Versafine Onyx Black ink and then begin our coloring.

The coloring will be done using the beautiful Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Pencil Sets. These pencils are so easy to use and the colors coordinate with all of the other Tim Holtz products that you may already have in your stash….the ink pads, sprays, paints, etc.

I’ll give you a few different ideas for how to use these pencils to get a variety of looks!

Next let’s add some color around the edges of each bookmark using the Distress Oxide Inks in Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean. We can also spatter the bookmarks for a bit more interest.

Now we can add some stitching around the edges using a permanent black pen.

Finally let’s tie on some baker’s twine in the coordinating colors. These would be a great gift for your favorite reader along with a good book!

Spinner Card – There’s GNOME one like you!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

https://youtu.be/T5lJTwlxYPk

Today we will be creating one of my favorite card designs which is the super fun spinner style card! You just wind up the spinning element and then place the card in the envelope and when the recipient opens the card the cute little gnome will spin around!!! The cute front and back gnome images will come from the brand new Ai Gnomes Set (5785). This set includes this larger front and back image as well as several smaller gnomes that are simply adorable!

Let’s first create the card base using some Kraft cardstock. This square card will measure 4 1/2″ x 4 1/2″. Next we can cut a layer of Dark Brown cardstock and the third layer will be a pretty patterned paper from the brand new Ai Gnomes Paper Pack (5832).

We will be die cutting the square openings for the card using the Ai Nested Square Dies (5725). In this video I will give you some tips and tricks for die cutting these square openings in all of the layers so that everything lines up perfectly!

So I thought it would be fun to use the Gnomes Paper Pack to do some paper piecing on our little gnome. We will stamp the image onto some Strathmore Bristol Smooth Cardstock…this will be the base of our gnome and then we will stamp the image a few more times onto the patterned papers that will become the hat, outfit, shoes and hands.

Next we can fussy cut these pieces and then glue them to the base image. That will just leave us to color the beard and nose and to do this we will use the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Gray Tint, and Blush.

Now we can assemble the spinner mechanism and I will give you very detailed instructions for doing this in the video. It’s super easy and fun to do!!!

For a few finishing touches let’s add some twine and a few sparkly red hearts!

I will be using the smaller gnomes in a cute card which will be coming out in the near future….so if you love these little gnomes you may want to keep and eye out for that card!

Creative Use of Your Dies…Making Snowflake Ornaments!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

In today’s card we will be using some basic supplies that you probably already have in your stash! We will be creating some beautiful Christmas ornaments and decorate them with some pretty ribbons and bows! This card was inspired by the current Ai Blog Challenge called “All Wrapped Up”.

Let’s get started by die cutting some glittery snowflakes using the Ai Large Snowflake Dies (5353) and some circles using the Ai Nested Circle Dies (5726). We will be adding these snowflakes to the center of the circles to create our very own custom ornaments!

This card will also allow us to use up some of our paper scraps and today we will be using the Ai Valentines Paper Pack (5741) in some pretty red and white patterns.

To set the scene for these beautiful ornaments we will use a the Spellbinders 3D Embossing Folder – Scenic Poinsettias. Let’s also ink around the edges of this card panel using the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink Pad in Lumberjack Plaid.

We will layer up the ornaments for lots of dimension and interest. Let’s add some sheer red ribbon to these ornaments and a pretty bow at the top of each and pop them up on our card.

Next we can grab the Ai Christmas Sentiments Set (5566) to add the “Merry and Bright” sentiment. We will stamp the sentiment onto black cardstock and emboss with some detail white embossing powder. This black and white sentiment will really make the sentiment pop against the red and white papers!

Finally we will add a pretty red heart to the center of each of our ornaments for a bit of sparkle!

Please join us in this fun challenge by posting your creations.to the Ai Blog…we would love to see what you create!!!

Clean & Simple Vellum Overlay Cards using the Ai Scenic Foundations (PART 3 of 3)

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today is Part 3 of our Scenic Foundations series and we will be creating a set of note cards by stenciling a pretty sunburst background with a vellum overlay by using the remaining four sets from the Summer of 2023 release (SF Wooden Cabin, SF Stone Bridge, SF Cottage Creek, SF Picket Fence)! These are clean and simple cards that are very easy to mass produce!

In Part 1, we used the SF Beach Cabin Set (5749) to create a beautiful background using some masking tape and the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks. This is a simple and easy way to set the scene for our Scenic Foundations stamps.

Masking An Easy Background using the Ai Scenic Foundations (PART 1 OF 3)

In Part 2, we will be creating a mixed media tag card using the SF Village Set (5746) and a water coloring technique using the Tim Holtz Mini Ink Pads.

Mixed Media Tag Card using the Ai Scenic Foundations (PART 2 OF 3)

We will be using all of the Scenic Foundations in the three part series…so for a 15% savings you may be interested in the entire collection bundle deal listed and linked here:

5796 – 6pc Scenic Foundations Bundle – https://shrsl.com/45ia8

To set the scene for today’s cards we will be using the Lawn Fawn Sunray Background Stencil on each of the cards using some the Hero Arts Reactive Ink Pads in Fruit Punch, Lemon Drops, and Creamsicle and the Hero Arts Blending Brushes.

Next we can die cut a rectangular frame for each of the cards using the Ai Nested Rectangle Dies (5724). We will place one smaller rectangle inside the larger one to create the frames. We will use the larger rectangle die to cut the vellum paper that we will then place behind each of the frames!

Let’s go ahead and stamp each of our four Scenic Foundations stamps onto the vellum rectangles using the Staz-on Jet Black Ink Pad.

Now we can attach the vellum to the frames and pop these up using some foam strips. Now when you look through the vellum you will see a softer version of the sunray background and around the edges you will see the more vibrant pattern. I just love how this looks!

Using the Ai Birthday Sentiments Set (5735) or the Ai Friend Sentiments Set (5734) we can add a simple sentiment to each of the note cards using the Ai Journal Template Dies (5543) banner die.

As a finishing touch let’s add some Ombre’ Glitter Drops from the Pinkfresh Studio Sparkle and Shine collection!

If you are giving these as a gift you can add some envelopes, maybe a pretty pen, and some postage stamps to complete the gift!

Mixed Media Tag Card using the Ai Scenic Foundations (PART 2 OF 3)

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today’s video is Part 2 of a three part series using the wonderful Ai Scenic Foundations stamp sets….but we are going to be doing them in a completely different way! I want to show you how to change up the way that you use your images or the way the were intended to be used! Also, if you are a bit intimidated by the watercolor stamping techniques this three part series will give you some fun alternatives!

Today we will be creating this mixed media tag card using the Ai Scenic Foundations Village Set (5746)! As soon as I saw this image I knew it had to be used as a travel or adventure style card. My stamping friends and I always say that the stamps speak to us and tell us what to do…lol!

In Part 1, we will use the SF Beach Cabin Set (5749) to create a beautiful background using some masking tape and the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks. This is a simple and easy way to set the scene for our Scenic Foundations stamps. If you haven’t seen Part 1 yet, and you would like to, it is linked here:

Masking An Easy Background using the Ai Scenic Foundations (PART 1 OF 3)

And in Part 3, we will be creating a set of note cards by stenciling a pretty sunburst background with a vellum overlay by using the remaining four sets from the Summer of 2023 release!

We will be using all of the Scenic Foundations in the three part series…so for a 15% savings you may be interested in the entire collection bundle deal listed and linked here:

5796 – 6pc Scenic Foundations Bundle8

For today’s card we will start by die cutting a tag from the Scrapbook.com Yay Tag Set. Next we can stamp this beautiful scene onto the tag.

For the coloring we will be using the Tim Holtz Mini Dye Ink Pads in the following colors: Crushed Olive, Fossilized Amber, Rusty Hinge, Gathered Twigs, Black Soot, Aged Mahogany, Crackling Campfire Speckled Egg, Weathered Wood, Stormy Sky, and Rustic Wilderness.

We will be applying a small amount of each of these colors on to our glass media mat and picking up the colors using a #0 paint brush. Keep in mind that we want to give the images a rustic or vintage look….so we don’t want the coloring to be perfect! This combination of colors will be perfect for this aged/vintage affect.

Next we will add a bit of color around the edges of the tag using TH Gathered Twigs and Black Soot. Then let’s spatter the tag using the TH Gathered Twigs ink.

Now we can emboss background for the card using the TH Sizzix 3-D Texture Fades in the Cracked Leather….love this embossing folder! We will add some more ink to this background and spatter it as well.

To create even more texture and interest let’s take a piece of corrugated cardboard and tear the top edge and add some ink.

For some shine we will be adding the TH Distress Embossing Glaze in Fired Brick to the corrugated cardboard and the bottom of the tag! This powder is so great because it is translucent and allows the colors and images to show through!

We will also add a lovely TH Quote Chip which says “Travel the world to find the beautiful” and we will also add another sentiment which says “Adventure Awaits” from the TH Metallic Stickers.

Let’s add a few gems in a vintage looking matte gold color!

Keep an eye out for Part 3 next Wednesday!

Masking An Easy Background using the Ai Scenic Foundations (PART 1 OF 3)

Hello and Welcome!!!

I am starting a three part series using the wonderful Ai Scenic Foundations stamp sets….but we are going to be doing them in a completely different way!

Let’s first stamp the image onto some Strathmore Bristol Smooth Cardstock in a light gray ink. This light inking will allow us to determine where to place our masking tape and where to apply ink for the sky, beach and water. Next we can mask off sections of the card panel and ink one section at a time.

Now we can stamp the images onto some pretty patterned paper from the Ai Easter Paper Pack to create our cabin, beach umbrella, hat and sailboats! We will do some fussy cutting and then we can attach these to some white cardstock.

Once these items are assembled, we can attach the items onto the background using the original stamping to line up the images.

Now we can take the pretty scallop die from the Ai Journal Template Die Set (5543) and die cut the scene and a white scallop panel as well. We can glue these two together by offsetting them a bit to create a white edge on the top and left side.

Next we can use the Sizzix 3-D Embossing Folder – Tropical Leaves to add some dimension to the card panel. Let’s also ink this up with the Tim Holtz Peacock Feathers ink. This will highlight the details of the embossing!

We can now wrap some pretty violet/white twine around the card panel and tie a bow!

Let’s assemble the card and add a few pretty gems to tie everything together!

Pretty As A Picture! (Creating A Polaroid Style Card)

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today’s card was inspired by the current Art Impressions Blog Challenge called “V is for Vacation”. This challenge is to create any summer related card or project which can include beaches, travel, picnics or anything else that makes you think of summer!

I thought it would be fun to create this “pretty as a picture” card with a beach theme since my absolute happy place is the beach. Although, I have to admit that I love the beach anytime of the year! It is especially pretty after the first snowfall of the winter season! But let’s not think about winter yet!!!

I would like to start by saying that I know that Nina, who is a fellow Design Team Member, is currently doing a beautiful series using this Polaroid theme and I did not know that at the time I created this card and video. Sometimes this can happen….so I really recommend that you check out what she has been doing….she is amazing and I know you will love her new series! Hopefully this card will just add to the fun and inspiration!

Our focal image will be from the Ai Sailboat Window Set (5448). This is a beautiful summer scene!

For the coloring today we will be using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Peach Pink, Lt Violet, Yellow, Haze Blue, Lt Blue, Cobalt Blue, Turquoise Green, May Green, Green, Lt Gray, Green Gray, Beige, Mid Brown. Once the coloring is complete we can cut and assemble our little polaroid.

Now let’s create the pretty background using the sea shells from the Ai Gull-Friends Set (5399). We will be stamping a variety of shells using the Staz-on Snowflake Ink Pad onto some Scrapbook.com Warms Smooth Cardstock.

Next we can add some sparkle and shine using the Wink of Stella Glitter Pen. To do this we will place some of the ink onto our glass media mat and spritz it with a bit of water and use a small paint brush to spatter the entire panel. You really have to see this in person to see how beautiful it looks! We will also spatter this same panel with the Bleed Proof White Ink for added interest.

We can add a nice mauve colored velvet ribbon using the Tim Holtz Velvet Trims. After we add the ribbon we can pop-up this panel onto our card base. This card base is created using the Scrapbook.com Warms Smooth Cardstock.

Let’s add the “Seas the Day” sentiment using that same Ai Gull-Friends Set (5399).

Finally, we can add some pretty pink sequins from the Picket Fence Studios “all about the pinks” Sequin Mix.

This card design is so easy and fun and can be used with any of your Ai Shadowbox Window Stamp Sets….and there are so many of these to chose from…it will be difficult to decide which ones to use!

Shaker Card w/ Cozy Cat Cubbies!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

I’ve got a super fun shaker card to show you today! We will be using the adorable Ai Cozy Cat Cubbies Set (5098). This set has a fun cat tree/condo scratching post and several little cats, a ball of yarn, and several coordinating sentiments!

To get started let’s grab some pretty blue patterned paper and die cut the front panel for the shaker card. We will be using the Ai Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies (5063) and Ai Oval Double Stitched Dies (5065). This will give us a pretty stitched border around the rectangle and the oval.

Next we can stamp and color all of the images using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Pale Rose, Haze Blue, Smoky Olive, Plum Gray, Mustard, Lt Brown, Beige, Sand, Lt Gray, Platinum Brown, Cool Gray 6, Mid Brown, Smoky Teal. (Note: Stamp plenty of balls of yarn and color them in a variety of colors!)

Since this set does include all of the coordinating dies so we can go ahead and die cut everything!

Let’s assemble the shaker element for the card and add some chunky glitter and a bunch of the little balls of yarn! I’ll give you some tips and tricks for assembling the shaker element of the card in today’s video!

Next, we can stamp the sentiment for the card using the same set and it says “sending warm fuzzy felines”! We can die cut a small banner for the sentiment using the Ai Journal Template Die Set (5543). Let’s pop this up for a bit of added dimension!

Finally, we can add a few pretty light blue heart gems!

This is just so cute and fun when you shake those little balls of yarn and that pretty glitter!
