Joyful Snowman Card w/ Pearl Paste

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

I’ve got a brand-new stamp and die set to show you today….and you are going to love it! It is the Ai Joyful Snowman Set (5802) and it include three of the most adorable festive snowmen and many coordinating sentiments.

Let’s get started by stamping and coloring the joyful snowman using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Haze Blue, Sky Blue, Lt Gray, Sugared Almond Pink, Carmine, Wine Red, Orange, May Green, Green.

Next, we can create the background for our scene card using the beautiful White Pearl Paste from Hero Arts and the Lawn Fawn Snowy Sky Stencil. This will give us some pretty pearl snowflakes!

Now we can add some ink blending to this background using the Hero Arts Core Inks in Mist, Periwinkle and Aegean using a small blending brush.

Next, we will die cut a frame for this card using the Ai Nested Rectangle Dies (5724) and some snowy borders from the Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Borders Dies.

Let’s also stamp and color in some pretty packages and some berry and holly leaves from the Ai Christmas Mice Set (5459) in the same colors we used on our snowman.

For the sentiment we will use the “Warmest Holiday Wishes” along with a scallop circle from the Ai Journal Oval Frames (5588). The patterned papers are from the Ai Valentines PP (5741). Let’s also cut the red and white striped paper for the front of the card.

Next, we can add a few highlights with a white gel pen and now we can quickly assemble this fun holiday card!! You can easily switch the snowmen from this set using this same design…so I hope you have as much fun as I did with this wonderful new set!

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!!!

Lawn Fawn Build-A-Drink Cocktail Add-on Card!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

https://youtu.be/-D6hqfXTcdY

Today we will be creating another fun tropical drink card using the Lawn Fawn Build-a-drink Cocktail Add-on set! This set compliments the original Lawn Fawn Build-a-drink set and includes a fun shaped glass as well as fruit, foliage, cherry and pick!

If you would like to check out the first video where we created a fun shaker card and I will link that here:

To set the scene for today’s card we will be using the Lawn Fawn Beach Sunset Stencil Set! This stencil set will allow us to create the most beautiful beach scene complete with the ocean, sky, sun and sand!!! It also includes the ability to create some palm trees…which we will not be using today…but would be perfect for your tropical scenes.

Let’s begin with the background using the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink Pads. For the water we will use Salvaged Patina, Peacock Feathers, Wilted Violet, and Villainous Potion. Be sure to take your time blending these colors for the best results. Next, for the sun let’s grab the Picked Raspberry, Festive Berries and Squeezed Lemonade. And the sand will be done using the Antique Linen, Gathered Twigs and Ground Espresso. The liquid in the drink will be created using the Squeezed Lemonade and Twisted Citron. I’ll show you some easy tricks and tips in the video for using your stencil to get the best results!

We will do a bit of spattering to add some interest to the sea and sand.

Let’s add a lime, cherry and foliage for color, interest and dimension. We will also grab a starfish, sand dollar and clam shell from the Lawn Fawn Life is Good stamp set.

Next we can add the “Let’s Celebrate” sentiment using the Lawn Fawn Elephant Parade Add-on stamp set. I’ll show you and easy technique for stamping this in an arched shape on your card.

Finally let’s do a quick assembly of all of our pieces and sit back and dream of summer!!!

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!

To color the layers of the pumpkin we will be using the beautiful Tim Holtz Mica Stains. These mica stains will give each of the layers a pearl finish and the Harvest Moon colored layer will make it look as though the pumpkin is actually lit up!

Next we can die cut the pumpkin layers and glue everything together!

To set the scene let’s start by creating a moon using the Stampers Anonymous Layering Moon Mask and then we can use the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks to create the perfect night sky. We will use the Shaded Lilac, Villainous Potion, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot to do this. Just be sure to take your time with blending the inks to get the best results!

Now let’s die cut the Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits – Flower Field in black. This will give us a great place to hide the pumpkin for a spookier look.

Let’s add the sentiments…and for a fun and cute touch we can add a mask to the pumpkin!!! For our sentiments, bats, mask and raven we will use the Tim Holtz Sticker Book – Halloween 2023. This little sticker book is just packed full of fun and spooky sentiments and fun images. Great for all of your Halloween projects!

For a fun finishing touch let’s add some Tim Holtz Distress Embossing Glaze in Seedless Preserves along the bottom edge of the card. This glaze will add a bit of shine and a purple tint to the card!

I hope you love Edison as much as I do and I hope it inspires you to create something fun!!!

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!

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

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

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

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.

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 Bundle – https://shrsl.com/45ia8

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!

Birdhouse Cubbies Slimline Card – Adding Dimension without Pop-Dots, Gems or Bows!!!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today’s was inspired by the current Ai Blog Challenge and that was to create a birthday card to celebrate Bonnie’s birthday! Please feel free to join us in this blog challenge by posting your card or project that has a birthday theme….any birthday theme will do! I’m sure Bonnie would love to see what you create to celebrate her special day!

Today we will be creating a fun slimline card using the Ai Birdhouse Cubbies Set (5346). This adorable set includes a beautiful birdhouse, birds, flowers, a vine and several fun sentiments! An added bonus is that this set does include the dies! You will love how the birdhouse die cuts out the window openings and the doors on the birdhouse which make this image very interactive!

For this card I decided to add an additional challenge for myself which was to create a one layer card that would have lots and lots of texture, dimension and interest without adding any ribbons, bows, gems or pop-dots! I will give you some tips and tricks for doing this in today’s video.

Let’s get started by stamping and coloring all of our images using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Pale Orange, Yellow, Orange, Scarlet Red, Mid Green, Dark Green, Aquamarine Blue, Smoky Teal, Beige, Gray Brown, Mid Brown, Lt Gray. Once the coloring is complete we can die cut all of the images.

Next let’s create a frame for the decorated card panel to sit inside by using the Ai Slimline Dies Set (5463). To set the scene for this card panel we will add some Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink in Speckled Egg and then we will spatter the panel with the same ink and also some teal colored metallic watercolor paint!

Going back to the same stamp set we will stamp our cute sentiment on the front of the card and this says “A little birdie told me it was your birthday”. This set has several cute coordinating sentiments!

Let’s cut off the post on the birdhouse so that it looks like it is hanging from a tree branch. We will use a black permanent marker to create the ribbon for the birdhouse and then draw on a cute little bow. Now we can add all of our little birds, flowers and vines….again gluing everything flat….but you could certainly pop some items up if you wish!

So hopefully you can see how easy it is to add lots of interest and dimension to your cards by using a variety of fun and creative techniques!

Please join me in wishing Bonnie a blessed and beautiful birthday!!!

Front Porch Garden Card!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today we are going to be using another wonderful Front Porch Series stamp set! This is the Ai Front Porch Garden Set (5486) and has so many beautiful images including a few potted plants, floral wreath, topiary, floral vine and even a cute little pair of rain boots! 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!

Let’s get started by stamping and coloring all of these sweet little images using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens as follows: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Peach Pink, Pale Orange, Orange, Scarlet Red, Yellow, Lt Violet, Lt Green, Deep Green, Mid Green, Moss Green, Mid Gray, Lt Gray, Beige, Lt Brown, Sand, Mid Brown, Smoky Teal.

Since this set includes the coordinating dies we can go ahead and die cut all of these little pieces!

To set the scene for our front porch we will use a 3D Deck Planks Embossing Folder and then we will add a bit of gray in-between the wood slats for a bit more interest and dimension. We will also cut a strip of paper for the bottom of the card and use a blending brush to add some Tim Holtz Twisted Citron Oxide Ink and Rustic Wilderness and give this panel a little spatter for some added interest!

I’m creating a card to celebrate a new home….so I have selected the “Home Sweet Home” sentiment from the Ai Front Porch Set. However, keep in mind that this card could be used for many different occasions! This was stamped onto a pretty die cut label using the die from the Ai Journal Template Die Set (5543). Once we die cut the label we can do a bit of blending using that same Tim Holtz Twisted Citron Oxide Ink and then we can add some stitched lines using a permanent black pen!

Let’s assemble the card with glue and foam squares for added dimension!
