Easy Paper Piecing – Masculine Birthday Card!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

For today’s masculine birthday card let’s do a bit of paper piecing! This is a good way to use up some of your leftover paper scraps! We will be using the super fun Ai Sit Back Laugh Lines Set (5421) for the focal image and the sentiment on this card. We will also be using the Ai Birthday Journal Set (5722) for the balloons. The cupcakes are from an older Ai Stamp Set that has unfortunately been discontinued, however, you can use any of your cake or cupcake images here.

This card was inspired by the current Ai “Midnight Snack” Blog Challenge! What better way to enjoy a snack than to have lots of cupcakes on hand! We’d love to see your creations….so please join us by submitting your own card or project using any foods including cupcakes, cake, fruit, veggies, or anything else you would like to surprise us with!

We will be stamping this fun guy several times and then piecing it together. This is great for those of you who don’t necessarily love the coloring process or for those of you who want to try something a bit different! So lets stamp the image onto some white Strathmore Bristol Smooth cardstock and then onto several other pattern papers. You will need a separate color for the chair, shirt, pants, and slippers. And for the balloons we can stamp directly onto the pattern papers in three different patterns.

The papers we will be using are from the Ai Harvest Journal Paper Pack (5606) and the Ai Halloween Journal Paper Pack (5605).

So let’s quickly color in just a few areas of this little guy….the face, hair and arms/legs. Let’s also quickly color the cupcakes. For the coloring I used the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Flesh Colour, Sugared Almond Pink, Yellow, Orange, Smoky Teal, Green Gray, Lt Gray, Gray, Beige, Mid Brown.

Now we can take our detail scissors and cut out the individual items from the pattern papers and glue them onto the white image. I just love his plaid shirt and his polka dot pants!

To set the scene, lets add some striped wallpaper…and we will die cut this using the Ai Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies (5063). This will give a nice stitched border all the way around the card. We can add a white border at the bottom and some black pattern paper for the floor.

Finally, let’s stamp the sentiment and assemble the card! And for a finishing touch we can add some Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen to the frosting on the cupcakes!

Tim Holtz Gentlemen Cards – Part 2 (Lost Shadow Ink, Embossing Glaze, Bold Text Dies, Stencils)

Hello and welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today’s video will be Part 2 of the Tim Holtz Mixed Media Gentlemen Card Series! Part 1 was a Mixed Media Card using the Tim Holtz Texture Fades, Embossing Glaze, Foundry Wax and so much more!  I will link Part 1 here if you would like to check that out:  Tim Holtz Mixed Media Gentlemen – Part 1 (Texture Fades, Embossing Glaze, Foundry Wax and more!) 

Let’s get started by creating a graphic background using a set of three stencils from Pinkfresh Studio called the Geo Arch. There is a Hot Foil Plate that coordinates with these stencils. I will list and link that below, however, we will only be using the stencils today.

To get started we will be stamping the background with some script text in a permanent black ink. Then we will do our stenciling. For colors we will be using the brand new Distress Oxide Ink in the Lost Shadow for stencil #1, Black Soot for stencil #2 and either Lumberjack Plaid or Uncharted Mariner for the pop of color!

Next we will apply the coordinating Tim Holtz Distress Embossing Glaze to each of the cards. Remember that this is a translucent powder so that will allow the text underneath to show through! I will give you a few tricks for embossing only one layer of stenciling.

We can die cut the two gentlemen, cane and umbrella several times with the TH Black Heavystock. Let’s layer these up to give these men some added dimension.

For the sentiments on both the outside and inside of the card we will be using the TH Sizzix Thinlits Bold Text #1. Once we have die cut the sentiments out of the white 100lb cardstock we can back each of these using the TH idea-ology Kraft-Stock Metallic Colors in Red and Blue.

Let’s add a few of the TH idea-ology Droplets in black for some added interest. This will also add a bit of dimension and keep the card in a more masculine look. If you want to give the card a more feminine look then swap out the black for some sparkly hearts, sequins or stars!

Tim Holtz Mixed Media Gentlemen Card – Part 1 (Texture Fades, Embossing Glaze, Foundry Wax and so much more!)

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today I am very excited to be showing you a Mixed Media card using the wonderful Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits Gentlemen Die Set! In this set you will get three gentlemen dies and a fun little umbrella and cane!

I have decided to show you this wonderful set in a Two Part Series. I didn’t want each of the videos to be too long….so I have split it into two parts. In Part 2 we will be using the Gentlemen dies again and also the new Lost Shadow Ink, the Distress Embossing Glaze, the Bold Text Die Set, and a fun three part stencil. This video will be available very soon!

So let’s get started on the card for today by using the Tim Holtz Sizzix 3-D Tree Rings Texture Fades. This will give us a great textural woodgrain background.

Now we can add some TH Distress Oxide Sprays to give this background some color using Lumberjack Plaid, Walnut Stain and Pumice Stone. These colors will blend together perfectly!

To give the background some added texture we are going to add the TH Distress Glaze in Lumberjack Plaid. Keep in mind that this is a translucent powder…so you can see all the colors underneath the glaze…which makes it so unique!

Let’s die cut several of the Gentlemen out of the TH Black Heavystock. We can layer up quite a few of these to create a thick chipboard-like embellishment.

We can do some quick spattering on the background and the Gentleman. Now let’s add some fun ephemera from the Tim Holtz idea-ology collection and a few metal stars!

Finally, we will be adding some TH Distress Foundry Wax. This will give the card a metallic look on the background and some of our embellishments. I will discuss a few tips and tricks for using this amazing product!

Art Impressions Lawn Ranger Slimline Card

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Let’s have some fun today by creating a special masculine birthday card! We will be using the adorable Ai The Lawn Ranger Set (4102) to create this little scene. In addition to this set I thought it would be great to add a few more elements to this fun loving lawn mower man card! I thought he needed his loyal friend on the front of the mower and a flag on the back from the (Ai Enjoy the Ride Set -5186) and a drink from the (Ai Travel Accessories Set – 5508), a cute little bird looking on from the (Ai On the Sparrow Set – 5170). Let’s also add some fencing using the Ai WC Fence Dies (4967).

To create our sunshiny sky we will be using a stencil and some Distress Oxide Inks in Crackling Campfire, Wild Honey, and Scattered Straw! Next I’ll show you how I created this perfectly mowed lawn using some temporary tape and a few more Distress Oxide Inks in Twisted Citron and Rustic Wilderness.

This guy mowing the lawn actually looks like he would be a lot of fun to have around!  What guy wouldn’t love to receive this adorable card??? The sentiment that comes with the set says “Happy Birthday to the “Lawn Ranger”…..love that!!!

We will then place our scene on a slimline card using the Ai Slimline Dies Set (5463). Just have some fun digging through all of your sets to see what you might want to add to your fun “Lawn Ranger” scene.

All of the coloring was done using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Tea Rose, Flesh Color, Orange, Deep Vermillion, Smoky Teal, Lt Gray, Beige, Lt Brown, Gray, Dk Brown.

I also mentioned the two videos for the brand new Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens Set A that are linked here as well:

Art Impressions “Java” Valentine Gift Card Holder

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Happy Wednesday Ai Fans!

In today’s video we will be creating a special Valentine Gift Card Holder using the Java GCH Set (5343)! This set comes with all of the dies needed to create a take-out style coffee cup for the front of your Envelope Gift Card Holder (which does need to be purchased separately). But once you have the Envelope GCH Set you can then add any of the GCH Sets to this little pocket envelope.

We will be repurposing some left over Christmas/Holiday papers! This is a great time to look through your holiday paper stash and use up some of those leftovers. Many of the holiday papers include reds and pinks that are perfect for your Valentine cards. The paper pack that we are using today has some coordinating double sided papers that I thought would be perfect for my gift card holder. I did create this in a more masculine palette but you could certainly change out your pattern papers to get a more feminine look.

The GCH collection also includes the Santa Set (5339), Snowman Set (5340), Birthday Cake Set (5407), and the Black Cat Set (5341). If you really love these little gift card holders you may enjoy watching a few different videos I have done using these products, which are linked below:

Snowman Gift Card Holder

Pumpkin Gift Card Holder

Wedding/Birthday Cake Cards

Today’s card was inspired by the current Art Impressions Blog Challenge which is to create a fun and unique shaped card and I thought this “Java” cup would be perfect! Please join us in this super fun challenge by linking your card creations or just by checking out the cards submitted by your crafty peers!

Art Impressions Mr. Fisherman Window Card!

Happy Wednesday Ai Fans!

In todays video and card we will be creating a super fun masculine birthday card using the adorable Mr. Set (5406)! To set the scene, we will create a masculine plaid background and then add a little window to his fishing paradise! And for the scene, we will use the Shadowbox Window Die (5408) and the Boat Window Accessory Set (5409).

We will add a great sentiment which says “Birthday wishes to a guy who fishes” ( don’t you just love that!) and this comes from the Mr. Set as well.

Please check out the other videos I have done using the Mr. Hat’s Backyard BBQ Card and the Windows to the World – Bridge Card.

All of the coloring will be done using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens. All of the colors I used will be listed below.

Art Impressions Recliner King Card

Hello Ai Fans!!!

In todays video and card we will be creating a super fun masculine card using the brand new Art Impressions Sit Back Laugh Lines (5421) Set! This set has so many great sentiments which will help you create the perfect masculine card for any occasion!

I really pictured this guy sitting in his basement “man cave” enjoying his favorite television show with his little feline friend looking on!!! And…the chair had to be colored in the vintage 1970’s olive greens!

I’ll show you how to simply create a staircase by using some grid sheets or graph paper. We will add the cute little cat by using the Art Impressions Cats Mini Dies (5333). And we will add some fun elements to the walls by using the Art Impressions MB Wall Accessories (5323). I always love to look through all of my images for some other elements to add to my scene and these wall accessories were perfect!

All of the coloring will be done using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens which are listed below and on the video as well.

Art Impressions – Mr. Hat’s Backyard BBQ Card

Hello Ai Fans!!!

I’m so excited to be sharing with you today one of the brand new stamps sets from the Hats Off Series from Art Impressions! We will be creating a fun backyard BBQ scene using the brand new Mr. Hat Set (5406)!

I absolutely love this guy and all of the fun hats that come with this set which include a chef’s hat, trapper’s hat, and a hunting hat! It also comes with some great sentiments and additional items that coordinate perfectly with this set. If you are struggling with ideas for masculine cards..like I do…then this is the perfect set to add to your collection!

To set the scene for our backyard barbecue we will use the Birdhouse Cubbies Set (5346) to add some feathered friends. Then we will create a beautiful night sky with some twinkling lights using the Happy Trails Set (5187), a lovely railing around the patio with the WC Arbor Set (5363), and a pretty patio wall using a fun brick stencil!

There are also two more Hats Off Sets available as well, which include Miss Hat (5404) and Mrs. Hat (5405) and I will be doing a video on each of these in the upcoming weeks!!!

This card was inspired by the new Art Impressions Blog Challenge which is to create a card with “Person-ality”! These would be projects with people and personality! Check out the link below!

Art Impressions Masculine Scene Card and Gift Card Holder

Happy Wednesday Ai Fans!!!!

In today’s video and card I thought I would create a masculine scene card and matching gift card holder.

Shhhhh…don’t tell my husband that this is his Valentine Card Set! He loves the outdoors and takes long walks everyday….rain, shine or snow. So I thought that it would be fun to create a peaceful winter scene using the beautiful “As the Deer” stamp set (5128) and the sentiment “Life with you is Wonderful” from the “Enjoy the Ride” stamp set (5186)!

This is a very simple scene to create. So if you are little bit intimidated about trying an elaborate watercolor scene card then this might be just the card for you!

To set the scene I have used a wonderful Sizzix 3-D Textured Embossing Folder with Jeweled Snowflakes!

I think this could also be used for a retirement (which I show an example), birthday, anniversary, or even a sympathy card due to its peaceful nature!
