Christmas Truck - So Cute!

  

Hello! Have you seen the new Art Impressions Rides Interactive Series just released? So far there are three stamp sets and they are awesome. I especially like that all the images are interchangeable between the three sets. The images can also be used on their own without the cars or trucks to give you maximum versatility. 

Today I'm showing you the card I made using the new Christmas Truck Set and the Slimline Dies Set. There is a lot packed into this one. It includes the truck, separate fenders for the wheel wells, two presents, a tree, a candy cane, wreath, snowman, star, bow, string of lights and sign. I really love that this set comes complete with matching dies. That's a lot packed into one set! 

I invite you to watch the video I made for this card. Find it by clicking on it below.

I chose to create a slimline scene. After arranging goodies into the truck, I put it on an action wobble. It's so fun to make the truck shake. I arranged a package, candy cane and some magic dust (aka sequins!) to the rear of the truck. This makes it appears that along the way, a few things escaped!  

I hope you enjoyed the card I made for you today. I invite you to make a visit to the store to see all the wonderful new stamps sets released so far!

Happy Creating!

Let's Make Some Panda-Monium!

  

Happy Saturday everyone! Today I'm playing along with the Ai Lions, Tigers & Bears challenge by making this panda bear inspired card. It's not quite an envelope card and it's not quite a typical card. It's an insert card with a fun decorated pocket. 

My "Coffee" Cup Runneth Over For You!

Today I have another Coffee Cup Gift Card holder for you. I'm loving this quick to make die and stamp set from Art Impression! I thought I could create a super cute version using brads and washi tape from Eyelet Outlet. They have lots of great coffee related products that made this card lots of fun to put together. I even used a speech bubble brad as the sentiment.

After making the coffee cup gift card holder, I decorated it with Swirl Bling and made a collage with Coffee, Hearts and Saying Speech Bubble brads from Eyelet Outlet. I love how the swirl bling looks like steam. 

For the background, I cut a 4" x 5 1/4" panel in white and covered it with rows of Coffee Cup Washi Tape. This is a cups of many colors washi tape and I just love it! I glued the finished panel on top of a red A2 sized card base. I love how it turned out.

Happy Creating Everyone!

Rockin' Oldies with Art Impressions New Release!

 

Hello my clever crafty friends!

It's time for a new Ai release!  Today I'm going to share two cards created with the fun new Laughlines Sets! These sets include either a lady or gentleman enjoying their favorite chairs. These come with a lady or gentleman and loads of punny sentiments to go with them.

The first set is called Rock On. I chose to use the sentiment, "Happy Birthday Rock On!" There are so many to choose from, it's almost hard to pick one. I made this card interactive. When the tab is pulled, the rocker actually rocks! It's a cool way to use this set.

As usual, I've made a video showing how this card is made. Check it out below.

I made another card with the new Laughlines set called, "Sit Back." This one features a gentleman enjoying his favorite recliner. I colored the recliner to resemble my Grandfather's brown and gold plaid one that my Grandfather loved. It was really fun to travel down memory lane when I made this one.

After coloring and fussy cutting the image, I cut the card pieces out of the same stamp pad. I love combining patterns and colors and using papers from one pad assures that the colors and tones work well together. I used the Ai Circle Double Stitched for the circles that provide a landing place for the man in his recliner. I also stamped the Recliner King sentiment from the Sit Back set.

After placing the background paper and circle mats on the card, I cut out the sentiment and a scalloped mat for it.

I wrapped strands of gray floss at the top of the card panel and attached the sentiment in the middle. Then I glued this panel on to a gray A2 card base. 

If these two new releases were not enough, there is a new Gift Card Holder set celebrating birthdays this week. Here are two examples of what I made with this fun new Birthday Cake Gift Card Holder! The center gift card uses all the dies. You can see all the options available to decorate the cake. The other two were made by manipulating the dies to create shaker versions of the cake. I love how dimensional and colorful these turned out. Check back on Saturday when I'll show you how I made the shaker cakes for even more ways to use this set. Just remember that this set is designed to be used with the Envelope Gift Card Holder Die Set, sold separately.

Thanks for stopping by today and taking a look at the new Laughline Sets and Birthday Cake Gift Card die set. 

Happy Creating!

Building a Dimensional Trifold Scene

 

Hello my crafty friends!

Today I have a fun fold card that is dimensional and elegant. This is a card with three layers which give it a tunnel or shadow box appearance. The stamp set I used for this is called Front Porch Circlet Mini Tryfold from Art Impressions. The stacked dimension is created by stamping and die cutting the scene out of the first two panels and a final stamp for the interior. I water colored this scene with Tombow Dual Brushes.

Although this card has a nice design and image, it would not seem done without all the terrific embellishments I used from Eyelet Outlet. On the front of the card, I've used the wonderfully graphic Coloring Book Butterfly brad set. I added Pearl Bling to enhance this card front as well.

This is what you see when you open it.

And when you open the next panel, you see the final panel. Here is where the Feline brad set unexpectedly surprises you. You aren't expecting these two cute kittens because your brain thinks it has seen the complete scene already. It's a lot of fun to use EO's embellishments to enhance and take your cards to the next level.

Happy Creating Everyone!
