Happy World Bee Day!! Matchbook Easel Card from Art Impressions

 Hello Ai fans and Happy World Bee Day!!

I LOVE bees and celebrated by making a tiny little bee easel card in their honor.

My card nestles nicely in the Matchbook envelope. 

I used the MB Template to create my easel by trimming off the side panels and gluing part of it closed.
Follow along below if you'd like to give it a try.

I started by taking the MB template die and cutting my designer paper to fit the middle section vertically.

I trimmed the tiny bit off that hung over the edge.

Next, I flipped it over and glued the lower part down making sure that there was no glue on the tab. The tab will be popped up to keep the easel propped once that's added.

I then folded down the top portion after creasing the score lines.

Then I glued the little square panel I created, ONLY to the little scalloped section.  You need the other part to bend so that it's propped up.

I stamped one of the little sentiments and my card was good to go. It fits perfectly into the MB Envelope because the base is cut from the MB Template die. Such a cute little card.

You Glow Girl! Salon Matchbook from Art Impressions

 Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a card that I made for a friend.

She is having surgery soon and was saying that she wanted to get her hair done
so that was taken care of because she won't be able to leave her house for 
a while. My other friend and I decided to treat her to her hair appointment.

I used the 5498 – MB Salon to create the card.

I needed something to put a note in as well as her gift card so I used

5811 – Gift Card Pocket Dies

You will need the 5317 – MB Template Dies to create the base for your card.

There is also a cute little envelope to put the little MB in.

5318 – MB Envelope Dies

The little tag is included in the MB Template set and the adorable bobby pin is from

5334 – Salon Mini Dies

I created two different versions and the papers are from

5838 – Fall Journal Paper Pack

and

5835 – Mini Journal Paper Pack

Bonnie and Phil Place Cards from Art Impressions

 Hello everyone and Happy Tuesday!

Today I'm sharing a pair of Easter Place Cards that I made using the new 5872 – Bunny GCH Set.

This set is meant to be a gift card holder add on in conjunction with the 5344 – Envelope GCH Set 
but I also instantly saw adorable place cards for Easter!

Bonnie and Phil's names are written on the little headband 

from the set that I just turned upside down.

Phil's "Page Boy" hat is just one of the inner ear dies turned on its side with
the eye die used for a button.

I used the star and the easel die from the the 5318 – MB Envelope Dies. The star is on the front, and the easel die is used to prop up the place card.

Matchbooks and Masculine cards from Art Impressions

 Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing several cards and a bookmark.

Two of my cards are from the Matchbook series.

Both cards used the 5317 – MB Template Dies and 5318 – MB Envelope Dies. 

My first Matchbook was created using 5498 – MB Salon.



Unless you're bald,  you almost definitely have a hair dresser/barber.  How cute is this card as a little thank you for keeping you looking amazing?!

Due to some medical issues I haven't needed my hair dresser in over a year and a half but when I go back and she makes me beautiful, she'll definitely be getting a card like this!

These tiny little scenes are such a treasure!



My second MB used the 5499 – MB Get Well.  I love the little white board that you can personalize any way you'd like.

The Matchbook folds up and fits neatly in a tiny little envelope.

These are perfect for someone's desk or bedside table.
Whether you have a sick friend or need to thank a doctor or nurse this set is perfect!
Swap out the Get Well for Thank You.

I have a former co-worker who is having some health issues so I made this card and took it to work for everyone to sign. For this card I used the same MB but I did it on a traditional card.  It's mounted on 5061 – Square Double Stitched Dies.

The verse is stamped on 5132 – Tag Stitched Dies and the heart is from 5543 – Journal Template Die Set.

My bookmark was cut using 5223 – Bookmark Dies.
The main images are from 5322 – MB Den Set.

The frame around the verse and the star are from 5543 – Journal Template Die Set.

The little tags are from 5132 – Tag Stitched Dies and the clock is from 5323 – MB Wall Accessories.

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.
