Caroling Polars from Art Impressions

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a winter themed card with you.  This week at Art Impressions we were lucky enough to participate in a product swap with Scrapbook Adhesives.  I used three different types of their adhesives on my card which I'll share with you later in the post.

My card features the adorable Caroling Polars (Sku#U4080).

I trimmed off the bear furthest to the right and added him to the outside of the frame.

Now I'll show you how I used the wonderful adhesives from Scrapbook Adhesives.

First up I made my glittered letters and snowflakes.

I used the adhesive sheets to make my letters and flakes sticky so that the glitter would stick to them.  I simply added the adhesive sheet to some white cardstock, ran it through my Cuttlebug and then peeled away the protective layer to expose the adhesive.

 The photos below shows the letters stuck to my image and ready to be glittered.

Next I added the glitter.  Pretty (and easy) isn't it!

Besides using the adhesive sheets on the snowflakes I also used the 3D foam squares to pop them up and give them dimension.

I used the foam dots on the back of the main panel and the frame as well.

The last adhesive I used was the E-Z Squares.

I used these to adhere the image to the main panel.

The little rocks that you see around their feet are called Tiny Stones (Sku#AA1038)

I used two other Art Impressions stamps on the inside.

Merry Christmas (Sku#D558)

and

Polar Birds (Sku#F4082)

Copics used:

Y0000, C00, C0, C3, B34, B60, R00, E33, E40, E43, E93

Cardinal shaker card

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing a shaker card with you.  My card features CARDINAL from I BRAKE FOR STAMPS.

I have a quick little "how to" for my card.  These are so easy to make.

First I took a piece of acetate (it's packaging from a metal die that I saved) and glued and taped it to the back of my open frame.  Next I added the dimensional foam that will pop up the panel and allow the confetti to shake around.

This is the window from the front.

Next I put the confetti in the middle of the image and position the frame over it and press down to seal it.

Here it is all spread out. 

Here is the confetti all settled at the bottom. 

People really enjoy the interactive cards and this is such a fun one to give!

I Brake For Cowboys!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing another Christmas card with you.

This one features the image COWBOY CHRISTMAS.

This is a great image if you're looking for a quick card.  As detailed as this stamp is the majority of it is to be left white since it's snow covered.  There isn't a whole lot to be colored so you could knock out a bunch of them quickly.

I love those mountains in the background.
