Art Impressions Challenge #220 Third Dimension

Hello!

It's the second week of Art Impressions Challenge #220 - Third Dimension! The challenge goes great with the new Pop Card release!! 5 new sets!! Perfect interactive card with a surprise inside for your recipient!!

My card features the Singing Snowman set! Perfect for the holidays!! The first thing I did was stamp and color the images in the set! I used my Spectrum Noir markers: AB1, AB3, AG1, AG3, AG5, DR4, DR6,  HB2, HB3, IG1, IG2, IG4, JG5, JG6, MB2, MB4, TB1, TB4. Then I used the dies that come with the set to cut everything else.

I also cut a template with the Pop Card Template die, you do need this to make the pop card work! For this card I turned it on the side and then following the instructions included made two cuts at the crease and pressed it in.

Next, I added some cute music pattern paper to the inside of my card. After assembling the snowman on the template I added it to the inside of the card, along with a strip of cardstock adhered to the pressed in pieces mentioned above.

With a circle die I cut a window in the card front and some pattern paper. I lined up the circles and adhered the pattern paper to the front. With matching paper I die cut a smaller circle and stamped the sentiment, then added it to the front of the card, trimming off the extra.

I also cut a few snowflakes with the snowflake dies that come with the set. These along with the cute bird are adhered to the front of the card.

You can see the snowmen through the window, and when the card is open the pop up! Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Udderly Fantastic Birthday

Hello!!

Today I'm on the Art Impressions blog with a card that featuring the Udderly Fantastic clear stamp set. This set has some adorable cows and hilarious sentiments!!

I started by stamping the cow with the tutu and balloons on some white cardstock. Then I used my Spectrum Noir Markers to color her up. I used AP1, AP2, AP3, DP1, DP2, DP3, FS9, MB1, MB3, PP1, TN1. With sharp scissors, I fussy cut her out.

From my paper stash, I found a cool ombre purple that matched, it is from Pink Paislee - Take Me Away pad. I also happened upon some Kraft Doilies I haven't really used, I pulled one out and used a little Frayed Burlap Distress Ink to darken it up.

I added the doily to the purple panel and then the sentiment with foam tape. The doily was attached just off center, so I trimmed off the overhang. 

On the bottom right, I stamped the Have An Udderly Fantastic Birthday sentiment. Last I added a few matching sequins to jazz the card up a little!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Trick or Treat

Hello and Happy Halloween!!

To celebrate I made a Halloween card featuring some cute Trick or Treaters from Crafter's Companion.

I stamped adorable kids on CC's watercolor cardstock and then used my Spectrum Noir Aqua Markers to color them up. I used Black, Chocolate, Charcoal, Peach, Blossom, Jasmine, Wildflower, Sunset, Topaz, Marigold.

Off to one side of the treaters, I stamped the sentiment Trick or Treat. Then I trimmed the images down so it was a wide strip. Then I added some pattern paper from Pebbles Tricks & Treats pad.

Last I just adhered the stamped strip over the pattern paper. I kept it simple as the pattern paper is a bit busy.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Trick Or Treat

Hello!!

I'm stopping by with a card I made for Penny Black's Holiday Head Start Challenge. I had all sorts of plans to make a bunch of cards, so I stamped a bunch of Halloween and Christmas Mimi stamps. Well, life got in the way and I'm still coloring some of the images!! I was able to get the Halloween Mimi stamps colored and cut out. I made this card weeks ago, but only just now had time to edit the photos, just in time for the deadline tonight!!

I stamped all the images from the Mimi Halloween stamp set. The flying witch is colored but will go on another card. I used my Spectrum Noir markers to color them up, using AGI, AG3, BO2, BO3, BO4, CT1, CT4, DP1, DP2, DP3, DP4, IG1, IG2, IG4, IG6. Then I just fussy cut them all out.

With a black card base, I used a spider web stencil and white ink to get the cool pattern. Then I cut an orange Halloween pattern paper from a stitched rectangle. I added the panel to the card.

Then I played around the placement of all the kids when I was happy with it I added them to the card with foam tape. Since the witch is holding a bag that says Trick or Treats I didn't add a sentiment.

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Hopefully, I'll get around to finishing the Christmas Mimi's I have stamped and make them into cards to share with you!!

Art Impressions Challenge #219 - Stamp A Scene

Hello!!

It's the second week of Art Impressions Challenge #219 - Stamp a Scene. AI also has a great new Mini Tryfold release, two Christmas and one Halloween sets!!

My card features the Winter Window set! You get clear stamps, dies and of course instructions on how to make your mini tryfold card!! I started by stamping the three images on white cardstock and coloring them with my Spectrum Noir markers. I used: AG2, AG3, AG5, CR8, CR1, CT4, DR7, GB3, JG5, MB1, MG3, MG4, MG3, MG4, MG5.

Then I pulled out Echo Park Paper Co. paper pad Season's Greetings. I picked out a few patterns I liked. I especially liked this old paper like pattern, so I pulled out my Frayed Burlap Distress Ink and added ink to each image after die cutting them out with square dies.

I also added some ink to the edges of the different pattern papers. With the matching dies I cut the colored images first then holding them in place on my card use washi tape to hold dies in place to cut through the card.

Then I can adhere my pattern paper and colored images to each card panel and to the inside. For a sentiment I stamped and inked a light pattern paper, die cut and added it below the kitten.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!
