Hydrangea Bookmark from Art Impressions

Hello Ai fans!

Hydrangeas are one of my favorite flowers and I love this slimline version.
The size makes it perfect for bookmarks, cards or Bible Journaling.

I decorated the front and the back of my bookmark and I love this color

combination inspired by the Art Impressions paper I chose.

I added a little butterfly that folds flat while he's in the book
and can be popped up next to you while you're reading.

I used colored pencils on this one.

 

Girl Scout Halloween Bookmarks from Art Impressions

Hello Ai fans!

Last night I helped some little girls earn their Craft and Tinker badge for Girl Scouts.

We made some Halloween bookmarks and they seemed to really enjoy themselves.

I created individual baggies with lots of stamped and die cut choices.

The girls ranged from 2nd - 5th grade with a few younger siblings and they all did an amazing job!

It was so fun to see their individual personalities come out in their choices.

I had so much fun doing this and I hope they need help again in the future.

Halloween Bookmarks from Art Impressions

Hello Ai fans!

My friend has two little girls who are Girl Scouts.

They are trying to earn their Craft and Tinker Badge and she asked if I could come in and work with the girls and their troop. I will have 14 girls and 1 hour to complete something. She mentioned maybe making a bookmark, and with the Halloween season upon us, I came up with this design. This is just preliminary. I am seeing a brighter background for little girls, maybe orange or lime green? And also, I think the fence is a little delicate for their small hands to glue down. I think they'll love the little characters though.

I used characters from 5506 – Peek-a-Boo Set and I think I may offer them some of the new 5934 – Spooky Crew Set or 5352 – Halloween Critters Set too.

I used 5223 – Bookmark Dies for the base. This is such a fun and easy project with so many possibilities. The dies help it come together so quickly. P.S. I need a better camera. My Dracula has rosy cheeks and a pink skin tone in person but they didn't show up on camera. 

My friend offered to reimburse me for my supplies but I declined. I'm starting to rethink that though. Is it wrong to ask for a box of Samoas as payment...lol!

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.

I hope you've enjoyed my projects for today and that you find some time to be crafty.  Most of my projects were made with the current Let's Hear it for the Boys challenge here on the blog.  Be sure to enter for your chance to win a free stamp set!

to my significant OTTER! from Art Impressions

 Hello Ai fans!

Today I have a sweet Valentine's Day card to share with you.  I'll be showing you

how I made my sparkly XOs!

First I start with some double sided adhesive that I get at Scrapbook.com

Place the adhesive on your paper.  Die cut your letters out.

Peel off one side of the backing paper and place the letter over or in something because this will be messy!  I used my embossing tray.  Sprinkle your glitter of choice over the exposed adhesive.

I used tweezers to pick up the letter and shake off any excess glitter.



I glued my letter to my card and repeated the process 3 more times.



I used 5072 – Block Letters Die Set and 5117 – Valentine Critters Set on my card.

The hearts on the front are from 5223 – Bookmark Dies and 5317 – MB Template Dies.
On the inside I used 5133 – Flag Double Stitched Dies and 5132 – Tag Stitched Dies and more hearts from the bookmark set.

Here's a close up of the amazing sparkle.
How cute is that little grin on the otter!

Be sure to join the new challenge for your chance to win!!

He will watch over my life

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a bookmark that I made for a co-worker. 

I used 5271 – Hydrangea Border Set and 5223 – Bookmark Dies.

Due to Covid my school schedule is nothing like it used to be.  One silver lining is that I've gotten to know people that I didn't previously have much contact with.  This woman is very spiritual.

She loves to read her Bible and I thought she'd enjoy a bookmark like this.

The doves are from 5390 – Mini Accents 2.

The verse is from 5069 – My Fortress Set.

I chose purple for the flowers because although I don't know her favorite color I know she wears a lot of purple so I think she'll like this.
