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.

Snowman Puppet Ornaments from Art Impressions

 Hey everyone!

Last week I shared a cream and gold snowflake slimline card.

This week I have two snowman ornaments for the Art Impressions Making Spirits Bright challenge.



One is a Front and Back "see through" ornament and the other features the snowman front with a sentiment on the back.

I used the new 5803 – Snowman Puppet Set.

His clothes are cut from 5812 – Christmas S2 Paper Pack and I framed him using
5727 – Nested Oval Dies.

I added some stitching where I pieced his coat together on his back.

The little hanger hook was cut from 5718 – Mini Journal Template.

On the back of this one I stamped a sentiment from 5566 – Christmas Sentiments.

He's stamped on Canson XL WC Paper Pad – 9×12 and I used Dr. Ph Martin's Bleed Proof White paint on his hat.

 

Snowman lantern card

 Hello Ai fans!

Today I  made a card for a basket of cards I donated. 

I used a retired Simon Says Stamp exclusive snowman from Art Impressions. 

All Art Impressions products I used on my cards are linked below.

This little guy is just the sweetest!

That's a Wrap at Art Impressions!

 Hello Ai fans!

Welcome back.  We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are busy getting ready for the holidays.

Speaking of the holidays, we have a challenge that might help you with your gift giving.

That's a Wrap!

This challenge has two meanings.  First, we're "wrapping up" our challenges for 2022.  Next,  of course,  we're wrapping up gifts for our friends and family.  We want to see your handmade gift bags, gift boxes, gift card holders, handmade wrapping paper,  tags, cards with presents on them etc.

I am the featured artist this week and I made an elegant gift box.

I made the box  using a BUNCH of dies from the 5543 – Journal Template Die Set.  I also used the Seasons Greetings from the 5566 – Christmas Sentiments.

I used gold paper for a lot of the pieces because I wanted this to be over the top opulent!
The sentiment was stamped on a die from 5132 – Tag Stitched Dies.  The snowflakes are from 5353 – Large Snowflake Dies and 4804 – Snowflake Dies.

I also used a greenery die from the brand new 5591 – Journal Rectangle Frames Die Set.

This is the inside of the box before I added the cover.  I used some of the circle dies from the journal set to highlight the 25th.

The sentiment on the inside was stamped on 5134 – Banner Double Stitched Dies.

Now for the really fun part!  I made a gift to go inside the box using more of the dies!

I recently started making paper earrings and I thought
this gift box would be perfect for some of them.

These earrings were made with Ai dies!

I never dreamed my dies would be so versatile!
The little heart is from 5317 – MB Template Dies.

The original plan was just to make the box and so some of the dies
used to make my earrings aren't in the photo.

I hope this inspires you to look at some of your supplies in a new way.

Seasons Greetings everyone!!

We hope you love the last challenge of 2022 and will
enter for your chance to win a free stamp set.

Shadowbox Sledding Window Shaker from Art Impressions

Hello Ai fans!

Today I have two similar cards for you.

The first one is a shaker card using the 5408 – ShadowBox Window Die.

My card was created for the Buttons and Bows challenge on the blog right now.

My buttons and bow were made with dies from the 5318 – MB Envelope Dies and 5543 – Journal Template Die Set.

Inside my window is the 5454 – Sledding Window Set.

My second card used the same window and shadowbox die.  This time I used the actual shadowbox portion to give it dimension.  I also have the little snowman popped up to add more depth.

The sentiment is from 5566 – Christmas Sentiments and is stamped on paper cut from more dies from the Journal Template set.

Below you can see how 3D this shadowbox window is and the best part is, it folds flat for mailing!

I hope you'll enter something in the Buttons and Bows challenge!

You could win a free stamp set.
