Bees galore from Art Impressions!

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a card that uses images from several different Art Impressions sets.  The circle with the lilies is from 5091 – Easter Circlet MTF.

The little bees are from two different sets...

4946 – Floral Birdhouse PopCard
SC0650 – His & Hers Gardeners

I took one of the little bees and popped him up on some thin wire.  I wrapped the wire around my piercing tool to create a "spring" so that he would "buzz" around.

Here's the inside of my card with another little bee.

Floral Birdhouse Wedding card

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a very special wedding card.

One of our good friends oldest son is getting married in September.

I know, I'm a little early but when inspiration strikes...you make the card.

I've used two different Art Impressions sets on my card.

4946 – Floral Birdhouse PopCard

AICS27 – Love Birds

I decided to make a step card but with a little twist.  Each step is a little smaller than the one before it.

You'll notice some gold paper on my card. My kids graduated high school in June '17 and June '18.  I had used various spray paints to make some decorations.

I decided to give something a try.  I took some plain white paper and sprayed it first with the gold spray paint and then with the Gold Glitter Blast.  I LOVED how it turned out!  Bonus...it's so cheap to make.  No more paying $2.00 for a sheet of metallic paper!

I took a hat pin and added some beads to it.

It's tough to see all of the layers of the card in the photos so I laid the card out flat so you could see it all.

I think this is the most extensive card I've ever made.  I actually made two of them and together they took me about 12 hours to complete.

Here's the "envelope" that I made for it.  Due to the bulk of the card I decided to do a gift "bag" envelope.  The card is 1 1/2" thick when closed.

New Floral Birdhouse PopCard from Art Impressions!

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a beautiful new stamp set called Floral Birdhouse PopCard & Pop Dies from the PopCard line.

The new PopCards are another interactive line.  They're great when you use a window on the front to give a little sneak preview.

When you open up the card and the image POPS up right off the page!

Close the card and it flattens back out.

You can see some of the dimension to these images here.

This is a photo of it all put together before I glued it to the card.

Look at how far these pop out!
