Hey there! Thanks a Bushel!

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a first with you.  I've 

made plenty of easel cards through the years but

never a sideways easel card.

I've used one of the Critter Cubbies on my card.

This one is called 5180 – Barnyard Animal Cubbies.

I used 5064 – Circle Double Stitched Dies

to mount my main image.

The verse is stamped on 5133 – Flag Double Stitched Dies.

The above photo is when the card is closed and the photo below is what it

looks like when it's opened.  The large cow by the door is a fun freebie!

Just order $30 or more and one of the sweet farm animals will be on their way to you!

Though I didn't use them, this set comes with some fun dies that cut open the door and window so the critters can peek out of them!  How fun is that?

New Art Impressions Cubbies!!

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a fun new Art Impressions Cubbie set with you.

This new set is called Hen House Cubbies.

You're probably sick of hearing me say this but I live in farm country.

I have so many friends that keep hens for the eggs and I know I'll get 

tons of use out of this set!

I feel like chicken coops have become the new "she sheds."  Everyone has to have the absolute cutest ones possible.  This one ranks up there, don't you think?

The Cubbies series is now one of my all time favorites from Art Impressions!

The dies make them so easy to put together because they save all that "fussy" cutting.

Happy Spring everyone!!

Barnyard Cubbies from Art Impressions

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a thank you card that I made using

5180 – Barnyard Animal Cubbies.

These are the cutest interactive sets.  The doors and windows open and you can hide little critters behind them.  This card was earmarked for someone else but I eventually want to use this set to make a card for a co-worker that I buy my eggs from.

You can find the entire Cubbies series here.

I Brake for Animals!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing two cards made with the stamp set that I designed.

You can find it HERE over at I Brake for Stamps.

Today I used the sheep and cow.

You can get him as a SINGLE too.

On my second card I used

Cow set...

For the fun glitter stripes I use Scor-Tape from I Brake for Stamps.

It's a double sided tape so it sticks to the paper and then you can apply the glitter to the top sticky side.

1/2" tape

1/8" tape

The cool background was created by using Black Bister from IBFS.

Art Impressions New Release and Create a background challenge...Funny Farm

Hello Ai fans!

It's always a fun day when Art Impressions has a new release!  

Today they're releasing a new line called Funny Farm.

Today I'm sharing 3 sets with you.

DOGGY KISSES SET: AiCS38

UDDERLY FANTASTIC SET: AiCS39

SPRING CHICKEN SET AiCS40

Have you ever had the problem that you have a certain background in mind but you just don't have the paper?  These new sets from Ai take care of that.  As a bonus, these were all super fast and easy to make!

For my background on the dog card I just sprinkled some Bister Stains on the card with a paint brush.  I used my palette to put just a tiny dash of the powder on and mixed it with some water.  I'm hoping you all see mud.  Those of you with dogs should be able to relate!  Then I used the super cute dog paw to stamp prints all over the card.

For the chicken background I just stamped the chicken tracks all around the border and then drew in some lines and squiggles by hand.  I also stamped a verse and used a ruler to draw in some lines across the card.

For the cow background I used a ruler to draw some lines and I stamped two verses from the set into them. I used a black marker to draw in some cow pattern shapes and then colored them in.

I just LOVE animals...ALL animals and so these sets are my new instant favorites!!
