Woodland Horse and Reindeer

Hello Ai fans!

OH MY GOSH!

The new Woodland Scenes are just the prettiest.

Today I have two cards for you.

My first is the horse and ...

Is this not the SWEETEST little horse?!

The set is 6087 – Woodland Horse Scene

As soon as I saw this sweet scene, I instantly thought to grab

my 5408 – ShadowBox Window Die which I adorned with greenery from
5805 – Mini Journal Box Dies and shutters from 5770 – FB Farm Fence Die Set.
The cute little bow is from 5317 – MB Template Dies.

The little picket fences are from 5807 – Journal Fence Dies and I used Bleed Proof White

paint to add stripes to the bow.

What a sweet scene this would be to wake up to this Christmas.

For my second card I used 6089 – Woodland Reindeer Scene.

I used the same greenery and bow as on the horse card. My deer is mounted on

5804 – Decorative Belly Bands.

Both the inside and front sentiments are from 5566 – Christmas Sentiments
and the one on the inside is mounted on 6046 – Scalloped Oval Dies and

5727 – Nested Oval Dies and topped with a little bow from 5543 – Journal Template Die Set.

The paper is from 5963 – Winter Woodland Paper Pack

The tree and snow were made using Bleed Proof White. For the tree,

I dabbed it with Copic markers and then lightly went over it with the paint.

Woodland Barn Scene from Art Impressions

 Hello Ai fans!

If you haven't already seen them, you need to check out the new
Woodland Scenes from the Holiday Lane collection.

My card fits with our current

Flurries Forecasted
challenge. Use any form of snow on your project.

Embossing folders, stamps, dies, embellishments, snowbanks, spattered snow. Etc.

For my card, I chose to use 6086 – Woodland Barn Scene.
I absolutely love old barns so I fell in love with this image the second I saw it.

The beautiful matte around it comes from 5804 – Decorative Belly Bands.
That's framed with 5063 – Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies.
The beautiful papers are from 5853 – Christmas Magic Paper Pack and the snow
flakes are from 4804 – Snowflake Dies and 5353 – Large Snowflake Dies.
I cut them out of plain white cardstock that I had painted gold using
Winsor Newton Ink 14ml – Gold Paint.

I used a combination of Copic markers, Micron pens and a pencil to add details and
color to the images.

C00, C0, N2, T4, E31, E34, Y11, R29, B01,

Art Impressions Simon Says Stamp Exclusive Snow Globe Gift Card Holder

Hello Ai fans!

Yesterday was a very exciting day!

Art Impressions had this adorable snowman snow globe set release at Simon Says Stamp!

The set is called 6123 Snow Globe GCH and there is a 

coordinating die set called 5344 Envelope GCH Set.

Together they make a spectacular gift card holder presentation.

Here's the back of the envelope. You can see where the dies cut a slit

to tuck the flap into and a GC fits just perfect.

The snowman set contains 24 dies and the envelope set contains 8 dies.

That's a lot of dies to experiment with, so go ahead and have fun with them!

Stretch your imagination and use this snow globe on a card as well!

Be sure to grab yours before they're gone.

There are limited quantities and they won't last long.

Thanksgiving Place Cards

Hello Ai fans!

I always host Thanksgiving for my extended family.

I've begun making this year's place cards.



I made these place cards with the Gobble Gobble challenge in mind.

  

I "watercolored" my images with my Arteza Real Brush pens.

I love these because they're really easy to work with.

 

I used dies from the mini frame series and 2 different paper pads.

One is Easter which just goes to show you that you should always think outside the box.

See my list below for links to all of the Art Impressions products that I used.

Happy Fall everyone!!

Fall Drinks

Hello Ai fans!

It's time for pumpkin spice and everything nice, hot apple cider and hot cocoa.

Which one do you prefer?

I'm a cocoa girl myself.

I love Fall weather, colors and all of the activities that go along with it.
I can't wait for to host Thanksgiving.
My card is pretty simple this week, but imagine the joy it

could bring someone when they open their mailbox and find this, 

especially if you tuck a gift card into it.

Fall Froggy Card from Art Impressions

 Hello Ai fans!!

Uh oh...

Along Came a Spider!

My little froggy from 5934 – Spooky Crew Set
doesn't seem to mind the spiders
nearly as much as I would. I used two little spiders
from 5601 – Halloween Accessories Set.
My card was created for the Along Came a Spider challenge.
(No, it doesn't need to be
Halloween themed.)

I used some green gingham from 5973 – Fall Series 2 Paper Pack,
orange striped paper from 5838 – Fall Journal Paper Pack, 
and added a verse from the
Spooky Crew set, stamped inside of 5726 – Nested Circle Dies and

6045 – Scalloped Circle Dies.
My tags on the inside and out were all cut with 5132 – Tag Stitched Dies.

The verse on the front is from 5954 – Woodland Bears Set.

The leaves, twigs and mushrooms, inside and out are from 
5783 – Fall Leaf Frame Die Set.
I cut the inside tag twice to create a little pocket to make this a gift card holder.

I think my card has Fall sophistication with a cute touch.
I hope you like it and will join our challenge.

G20, G21, G94, YR01, YR12, YR15, YR21, YR27, YR31

Meet the Bride of Frankenstein!

Every Frankenstein needs a bride, so...

without further adieu...

Meet the Bride of Frankenstein! 

I used the 6120 – Frankenstein Puppet dies and altered them to 

create his "lovely" bride.

I used Frank's pants for sleeves on her gown and then I freehand cut

the rest of her dress. The stitches for the face served to "stitch" up the seams

and create a V on her neckline and stitches on her shoes.
I originally was planning to go with a unibrow that I cut from Frank's

hair but I changed my mind and just drew some on.

The stripe in her hair was cut from Frank's hair.

I used dies from 5604 – Halloween Journal Die Set
and 5769 – Halloween FB Fence Set to add interest.

The fence is from 5807 – Journal Fence Dies

I just love this Frankenstein Puppet so much!

I enjoy that you can personalize him (even turning him into a girl)

and each time he turns out so different.

Here are two other versions that I made.
