I'm BATTY for Halloween!

 

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a haunted house card that I made for the Bats in the Belfry challenge.

I grew up sketching, took every art class my high school offered and one in college.

Graphite drawings are my favorite. I took one of Bonnie's houses and turned it into

a haunted house.

For something a little different, I love this effect once in a while instead of markers or

colored pencils.

There's just something about bats and spiders for a Halloween card.

I think maybe it's because I'm so afraid of them in real life, it's fun to 

use them on a card.

I hope you had a chance to join in on the challenge. If not, you still have a few hours

to get something made. Anything Halloween will do. You might win a free stamp set.

Bats in the Belfry: Haunted Mansion from Art Impressions

 Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a spooky little haunted house that I created for the

Bats in the Belfry

challenge.

I adapted the 6114 – Box Village Template Dies by taking the little roof line piece

and moving it up further on the box. This created a taller house. I then used one of

the shingle pieces to create an awning. The front door is from Halloween FB Fence Set
and I used a piece of screen to create a screen door that you can see through to the 

designer paper.

The stamps and dies used to embellish the box all around are from several different sets.

All sets are linked below. I think my favorite is the little skull tucked into the window box.

Fall-elujah! It's the Pumpkin Queens! (Take 2)

 Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing the second card I made for the
Art Impressions/Simon Says Stamp 2026 collaboration.

This sweet set sold out in under two days but we know you'll
be looking for inspiration when your set arrives.

My daughter and I think this set looks a lot like us and at some point, 

we want to try to recreate this. I'll share photos if we do!

Fall-elujah! It's the Pumpkin Queens! Art Impressions/Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® Exclusive

Hello Ai fans and welcome to my
 STAMPtember® 2026 post!

I've been "patiently" waiting to be able to share this fun new

Art Impressions/Simon Says Stamp collaboration set with you.

The set is called SSE26A Pumpkin Queens and can be found here

as a stamps only set. See below for stamp/die set.

For my card, I chose to have the ladies at a pumpkin farm. They're enjoying the

crisp fall air with some pumpkin spice coffee and getting a selfie in the pumpkin patch.

This reminds me so much of my daughter and myself. We love the fall and all of the fun

activities that it comes with.

The set can also be found in a bundle with coordinating dies.

If you missed the post on the Art Impressions blog, be sure to visit to see everyone else's cards.

Remember, this is an exclusive, limited set. Once it sells out, it's gone forever. Get yours

while supplies last.

Long Stemmed Daisies from Art Impressions

 Hello Ai fans!

Is everyone enjoying these long stemmed flowers as much as me?

Daisies are one of my favorite flowers.

I initially began by stamping this image just once. When I placed it on my card, it just didn't feel like it filled it up enough. My card is pretty large. I stamped it two more times and fussy cut out all of the flowers. I then stuck sprigs here and there until it seemed like a full bouquet.

I stamped one of the sentiments on a nested oval for the front of the card, framed it with a scalloped oval and then popped it up on dimensional foam tape.

On the inside, I stamped another sentiment from the set and also stamped the daisies again. The bottom border was made with some of Art Impressions designer paper and the largest die in the scalloped rectangle set.

Cozy Little Cabin

 Hello Ai fans!

Happy Tuesday.

Today I'm sharing my card that I created for the On the Border challenge.
I needed a thank you card for an old friend who loaned our family her cottage
this summer.

I used gold paint and 2 different border dies from Art Impressions to
give my card a little something extra special.
(links below)

I also used a foundation stamp so all of the guess work was done for me.

Thank you Mrs. Sprovkin!

Story Tile Wedding Card

 Hello Ai fans!

A friend of ours is getting married on Saturday and I'm
sharing the wedding card that I made for them.

Their invitation was movie themed so I decided to play off of that.

I love the Story Tile template because it creates little windows and 
each one features something a little bit different.

I also used the template on the inside but I cut some of the borders out
to create two large windows. I also embossed the designer paper on the left
for a little something extra.

Congratulations Mike and Cathryn!

Shadowbox Gift Card Holder

 Hello Ai fans!

I'm sharing my creation for the Furry Friends challenge today.

I used the 6121 – Storybook Template because I love the look of the shadowbox.

Tucked in a little bear from 6017 – Baby Panda Set and accessorized with several other sets which are all linked below.

On the back, I added a pocket to tuck in a gift card.
The gift card pocket wasn't meant to go with this set so the card does

stick out over the top a bit, but that didn't bother me.

I think it's a cute way to present a gift card to an expectant parent.
