Cat Sympathy Card

Sometimes we have to make difficult cards.


My friend lost her cat recently and it was very hard for them
to say goodbye.


I wanted them to know that I care about them and what they are
going through so I made them this card and sent her a memorial
windchime and bracelet.

Cats and spiders...

 Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a few cards with you.
My first cards were created for the current Feline Crazy challenge and the Cat Lovers Hop.
Art Impressions generously donated the Feline Set as a prize for the hop.

For my cards I used  M4877 – Be Joyful Window.  The Windows to the World series is one
of my all-time favorites at Ai.



Have you ever had one of "those" days?  Well, I sure did.  If you look carefully you'll see that on the white card the clouds are puffy.  That's because I got carried away and started to color them green like the foliage below them!  Oops!  I didn't want to scrap the entire picture and start over so I pulled out my Nuvo drops and viola!  Puffy clouds where there once were trees.


For my second projects I used the new 5462 – Web Dies Set and the 5072 – Block Letters Die Set.



The oval that the webs are on was made using the 5065 – Oval Double Stitched Dies.



The treat bag was a gift for my son.  His birthday is Oct. 2 and since he was little 
he's been obsessed with Halloween.  He even keeps Halloween decorations up in 
his bedroom all year round!



My window was cut using the 5061 – Square Double Stitched Dies.


I used the 5135 – Hexagon Double Stitched Dies to reinforce the ribbon handles and make
the bag more decorative.



I hope you all have a safe, fun and spooky Halloween!





Be Joyful Window Copics used:

G12, G40, R81, R89, BG000, T1, T2, T4, T5

Art Impressions Gift Card Holders

Hello Ai fans!!

Today I'm sharing my second post of the day with you.  I made two gift card holders.

As you can see I chose NOT to make him black.  He's not just for Halloween.  My niece has two cats and would LOVE to get a gift card from me in this.


I love this cat and can picture him in so many different colors...maybe with some cute stripes.


The envelope die is so quick and easy to assemble.


My second GCH uses the 5343 – Java GCH Set.


There are so many fun accessories that come with the set. I used some of them on the back of the envelope.

Be Joyful Window from Art Impressions!

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a sweet window card with you.
The window I used is 4749 – Window Deco Die.


When you open the window panes up you can see a sneak preview of what's inside...


Open them a little wider and there's kitty!
There are so many different Windows to the World to choose from.  Each time I use one I think that one's my favorite and then I use a different one and I love that even more!


I think to date I have 11 of the windows if I'm remembering correctly.
I can't wait to order some more!
Here is the inside of my card.


Do you have any of the WTTW?  
Which one is your favorite?

Happy Birthday Tara!

Hello and happy Tuesday!

My niece Tara just became a teenager and she loves Harry Potter.
I wanted to celebrate her birthday by giving her a memorable card.

I used my ancient set of Sizzix doll dies to make the H.P. character.  It was supposed to be Hermione but the doll face is so round that it really doesn't look like her at all.  I think it's still cute though.



I used a piece of vellum behind the window to make it look like stained glass.
I used a flickering tea light behind it.


Doesn't the light make it look like it could be a real room at Hogwarts?


Here's a close up of Hermione and Crookshanks.


I added a selection of potions on the window sill too.  We all know how important those are to the students at Hogwarts.


Happy Birthday Tara!!
