Hello Friend!

Hello Ai fans!

It's May so we have flowers!

Fabulous Flowers

That's the current challenge here on the blog.



I used several Art Impressions products on my cards.
5444 – MB Garden for the bucket of tulips and sentiment

5096 – HM Garden Set for the little birds

5543 – Journal Template Die Set for the banner

5463 – Slimline Dies Set to cut the designer paper

5408 – ShadowBox Window Die to create the 3-D window

and

5606 – Harvest Journal Paper Pack

I just love how you can mix and match all of the Ai sets.

Their versatility makes them so useful.
I think my card is so cheerful.

One of them will be my friend Rhonda's birthday card.

I colored my birds bright yellow because at this time of year, our goldfinches have just turned back from their winter mustard brown color to their brilliant yellow.  We love to see that because it means the weather is turning nice again.

Holiday Mansion from Art Impressions

Hello Ai fans!

I'm back with another Mansion card.

I've used Holiday Mansion and 5096 – HM Garden Set 

because I love them so much.

I have loved this series since day one. I'm glad Bonnie keeps adding more accessories for the house.

You might be thinking these look difficult to make but they're not!

The sets all come with dies to cut all those little pieces which makes them super easy to assemble!

The windows and doors open to reveal hidden surprises.

How cute is that?!  I like to add some vellum or a solid color behind some of the openings to kind of hide the designer paper when I make these.

I feel like it makes the hidden treasures pop a little more.

Holiday Mansion in Black!

Hello Ai fans!

I have another Mansion card to share today.

I've used Holiday Mansion and 5096 – HM Garden Set 

because they're just so darned cute!

I have loved this series since day one. I'm glad Bonnie keeps adding more accessories for the house.  I did something new on this one.  I stamped the house twice and then cut off the roof and all of the window toppers.  I then popped them up using foam tape. The shutters are also popped up. I really like the added dimension it gave the card.

I added a sweet fence with 4967 – WC Fence Dies.

These are super easy to assemble because the sets come with all the dies you need to cut the little accessory pieces.

The windows and doors open to reveal hidden surprises.
