Happy Mother's Day from Art Impressions!

Hello Ai fans!

Did you see the fabulous new Art Impressions Simon Says Stamp EXCLUSIVE HOME AND HEART Clear Stamps and Die Set 5546 Limited Edition

5546

This set was designed with Mother's Day in mind but is also perfect for a get well card,

Easter or just because.  Be sure to keep scrolling after my front porch card for more cards using this set.

I also have a front porch card for you today.

I used the 5512 – Front Porch Door Set and 5491 – Front Porch Party Set

to make a baby girl 1st birthday card.

This party door is so versatile!  It could be for absolutely any party at all...retirement, graduation, birthday, Cinco de Mayo, Memorial Day...It all depends on what colors you use.  I've also thought that some of the Ai Rides accessories might be cute to add here too!

The door on this set is cut with the die and you can choose to glue it shut or add something to the inside so you can open it up and peek inside!

Here's another bunny card from the new Home & Heart exclusive set.  Though this was not my mom's card this was created with her in mind.  She's not a pastel sort of woman.  She has always loved black and white.  Some moms are a little outside the box.

I used my Molotow pen for the first time to make the dots on her dress and also the dress on my first card.  I'm HOOKED!!  I can see me adding lots of dots or stripes to clothing in the future.

For my last card I created a get well card. Did I say how much I LOVE this set?!!

This barrel of flowers could be used for absolutely any occasion! 

These are the Copics used on my bunny cards.

Art Impressions and Simon Says Stamp Exclusive Christmas Train Set

Hello Ai fans!

 Did you see the new Limited Edition Christmas Train from Art Impressions?

It's only available for a short time at Simon Says Stamp.

Order yours now because once they sell out it's gone forever!

For my first card I stamped the boxcar twice to make my train a little bit longer.

My second card is more of a traditional train color.

My mind is already spinning...can't you see masking off the Christmas design on the engine and making a child's birthday card?  You could use some balloons from another set with some of the gifts!

Happy Stamptember 2020!!

It's STAMPTEMBER!!

Each year (I believe this makes 6 now) Art Impressions pairs with Simon Says Stamp and they release an exclusive stamp set that has limited amounts.  Once they're sold out they're gone forever so get yours NOW!!

So, how cute is this pair?? It's called Coolest Friends.  I love snowmen.  And...her fun, funky glasses??  I'm digging them!

I also used the new Large Snowflakes Dies on my card.

One of the many fun sentiments from the set is cut out using the 5064 – Circle Double Stitched Dies.

Don't forget...this is a limited time set.  Get yours before they're all gone!

I love non-traditional colored holiday cards so I made my first card with this set in blue.

Hello Ai and Simon Says Stamp fans!

The flip cards are cut using the 5103 – Flip Card Die.

If you're not familiar with the flip card series they have a verse and image for the front of the card then you "flip it open" and on the inside you see the rest of the verse and the back of the image.

EXCLUSIVE!! Art Impressions & Simon Says Stamp...Stamptember release!

Hello Ai fans and fans of Simon Says Stamp!

It's that time of year again!

STAMPTEMBER!!

Bonnie has done it again with another amazingly cute Girlfriends design.

Now,  in case you're not familiar with what Stamptember is...it means that this set is ONLY available at Simon Says Stamp and ONLY until it is sold out.  Once it's gone, it's gone forever.  That means get yours NOW.  How can you resist this adorable trio of ladies?

The set consists of one large and two small images as well as 3 verses that you can choose from.  I've used the smaller images on the inside of my card as well as a second sentiment.

If you'd like to visit the SSS blog for more inspiration you can click here.

Since my paper piecing and fussy cutting took me a little while I kept the rest of my card pretty simple...a few snowflakes and sparkly thread and I was pretty much done.  I did outline the stitching on the 5135 – Hexagon Double Stitched Dies and 5133 – Flag Double Stitched Dies with a silver paint pen.
