Hello friends!

The current Ai Challenge is “Aging With Attitude” and we are featuring the NEW Ai People and Girlfriends stamps! I decided to create a Side Step Card and here I used the Ai Flaunt It Set (4756) .

Everywhere you go now, there seems to be a photo booth at every event. A fun sign of the times, for sure! These gals are kicking it up and having a great time!

I wanted to put some of the photo props on the side steps so I pulled out some dies that matched the image. The stick on the glasses is actually a princess wand from the set with the crown. Stickles was added for some sparkle.

Another sentiment from the set was stamped on the inside and another pair of sparkly glasses was added to fill the corner.

Edit: I had some questions about measurements so here you go… I started with 5 1/2 x 8 1/2. On the long side, I measured in 2 1/4″ and then cut from 7/8″ to 6 3/8″. Then I scored that 2 1/4″ section @ 7/8, 1 3/4, 3, 4 1/4 (this one all the way across), and 6 3/8″.

Now it’s your turn to make a card or project and join us in the new Ai Challenge! We would love to see your cards about Aging With Attitude!

Happy stamping!

Good morning! It is ssssoooo cold here. brrr!

Today I am sharing a card on the Sweet ‘n Sassy blog using 4 SNSS sets… Celebrate Today, Lots-a-Spots, Decorative Frames, and the coordinating Decorative Plaques dies.

It’s a calendar…no, it’s a notepad…wait, it’s an easel card! Ok, it’s all three. 🙂

I stamped the dotted background (after stamping the ink off first) in a light yellow so the notepad color would match. The notepad fits perfectly on the SNSS Decorative Label! Happy accident…the sentiment goes perfectly with the mini calendar! (oops…I forgot to tear off January!)

Thanks for popping in…stay warm and happy stamping!

Hello! January is flying by and my thoughts are turning to Valentine’s Day. It will be upon us quick!

Today I am sharing a card on the Sweet ‘n Sassy blog using my Valentine Critters stamp set which also has coordinating dies.

This is a 4 1/4″ square card with some Box Pleats on the strip of floral patterned paper. I started with a strip that is 1 1/2″ x 12″.

Using a Scor-Pal scoring board, I scored the strip at the following marks- 1, 1 1/2, 2 1/2, 3, 4, 4 1/2, 5 1/2, 6, 7, 7 1/2, 8 1/2, 9, 10, 10 1/2, and 11 1/2 inches. You will fold with a mountain/valley/valley/mountain pattern to look like this:

I made this card before the matching dies were available but now I love being able to cut the images so quickly and cleanly!

Thanks for popping in…happy stamping!

light of the world and a Minion

Posted on October 16, 2015 | 2 comments

Hello friends! Welcome to the Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps October Release and Blog Hop!

Today Sweet ‘n Sassy has some great new sets available to get you started on your holiday and winter card making! I have 2 cards to share…the first one uses two new sets called Name Above All Names and Winter Blessings.

I was inspired to make this by my friend Diane H. who made a very similar one at our stamping event last weekend. The Winter Blessings set has a huge, beautiful background image that I stamped a portion of with white craft ink onto navy paper. It has a pretty snowflake and flourish design. The candle and sentiment are from the Name Above All Names set. The wainscoting was simply scored.

And just for fun…when I saw the images in the Grunge Elements 2 set, I saw a Minion! 😉 The sentiment is from Birthday Word Art.

To see more samples made by the Design Divas using the new stamp sets from the October Release, hop on over to the Sweet ‘n Sassy Blog! Don’t forget to leave a little love on each blog as you hop along. Then head on over to the Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps Store to pick up your favorite stamp sets from the release!

Posted on September 17, 2015 | 2 comments

Hello friends and happy Thursday!

Today I am on the Art Impressions blog with a card using one of the NEW Ai Try Folds… Christmas Scene TF (4687). Instead of a trifold card, though, I used the images to create a shadow box card.

I added a few adhesive pearl “snowballs”. 🙂

Here’s a view from the top…

Have a great day and… happy stamping!

Ai Love Spinner

Posted on May 21, 2015 | 4 comments

Good morning! I have a fun card to share (and a quick video). I love interactive cards so I am excited today about the Art impressions new Spinners Launch! They are ALL so cute and immediately went onto my wish list. Is this not the cutest couple?

I used Love Spinner (4571) and the coordinating Love Spinner Dies (4613) on my card. The front is CAS (clean & simple)…

but this card is all about what’s inside…

The front & back images have diecuts that match up perfectly with each other to make putting them back to back a SNAP! Just adhere them on a string and they SPIN… cool! I made a Pop Out Window Suspension Card to hang them in.

The front & back of the paper pieced images…

Here’s a little 5 second video to see them spin!

gift box pocket card

Posted on May 14, 2015 | Leave a comment

Hello friends and happy Thursday!

Today I have a pocket card in the shape of a gift box. I used part of the Art Impressions Birthday Gal Front & Back (3199) and my sentiment is from the Michael’s exclusive set called His & Hers Camper.

I made a picture tutorial to show you how to create this pocket card (below). They are great for tucking in a gift card or cash. 😉

Here is the front of my pocket card…

…and the inside…

And…you can also create this without a pocket if you just want it to open like a regular card…

It’s easy and fun so let’s get started!

Note: I like to use the CLEAR sticky-back Velcro dots. They are thinner and less noticeable!

That’s it! Now just decorate your pocket card with your favorite Ai characters!

Have a great day!

stamps- Art Impressions Birthday Gal Front & Back (3199) and Michael’s exclusive set- His & Hers Camper (sentiment); paper- white, SU! Crisp Cantaloupe and Pool Party, SU!

beach tote- AI hop with Tombow!

Posted on May 1, 2015 | 23 comments

Hello and Welcome to the Tombow USA and Art Impressions Blog Hop!

You probably got here from Daniella Hayes’ blog but if you stumbled across my blog go the Art Impressions’ Blog to start!

I made a Beach Tote Gift Bag for our hop today! I used the Ai Loungers set (4473) and Beach TryFolds set (4577) to make my project.

Here’s a close up of the Loungers and beach signs…

And here are the Tombow products I used to create my beachy gift tote… I LOVE Tombow so this was a fun project for sure! I used Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue, NEW Foam Tape, and Mono Adhesive Permanent.

To make the base of the tote, cut and score as shown here:

Fold the sides in and glue or tape where they overlap. Then decorate as desired. Add ribbon or cardstock strips for handles. Tip: I recycled/reused cording from a shopping bag. You can also save the cord from gift bags that have torn, etc. and need to be tossed.

After I colored my images, I used Tombow Foam Tape to pop them up.

The Lounging ladies were fully popped, the beach signs were popped up at the top and glued down at the bottom.

Below the signs I used Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue to add “sand” (Summer Mudd Puddles).

To make the bag a bit sparkly, I added Clear Wink of Stella to the sun, umbrella, beach ball, and their drinks. 😉

rosette ornaments

Posted on December 1, 2014 | 2 comments

It’s the first day of the month and that means it’s time for a new Scor-Pal challenge! This month’s theme is Christmas/Holidays. I made a set of 3 rosette ornaments using my Scor-Pal and some Sweet ‘n Sassy stamps and dies.

I used the Christmas Silhouettes stamps and matching dies, along with some pretty sheet music patterned paper. To make the rosettes, start with 3 strips of the patterned paper (1/2 x 12, 1 x 12, and 1 3/4 x 12) and score them every 1/4″. To heat emboss the edges of the rosettes, roll them over a Versamark ink pad and add powder, then heat.

Now check out the other fun projects on the Scor-Pal blog and play along!

stamps- Sweet ‘n Sassy Christmas Silhouettes; paper- SU! Cherry Cobbler, Vanilla, Echo Park- Christmas Carol; ink- Versamark, Cherry Cobbler; Accessories- Scor-Pal, Scor-Tape, Sweet ‘n Sassy Christmas Silhouettes dies and Large Snowflake dies, circle punches, hot glue gun, Cherry Cobbler embossing powder, rhinestones, silver cording.
