Hello Ai fans!
Welcome to week #2 of our Show Mom She's Special challenge.
Happy Thursday AI Friends!
My project for today was inspired by the current blog challenge "Show Mom She's Special". I decided to use the latest release - #6024 Tea Time stamp set to make my project for any tea lover mom's out there. This is a cute little tea box that holds 3 tea bags. I got the idea for this box from The Paper Pixie. Here is the link to her youtube video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvgzsJRtjk0
Happy Wednesday Ai Fans!!!
Watch video tutorial here!!!
Today's card was inspired by the current Ai "Show Mom She's Special" Blog Challenge. Of course, if you change out the sentiments this card would be great for any occasion with all of its beautiful floral papers and cute little pocket tag! This tag could be removed by the recipient for a fun little bookmark as well!
Let's begin by stamping the stack of teacups and spoon using the brand-new Ai Tea Time Set (6024). For all of the coloring we will be using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Pale Yellow, Yellow, Shadow Pink, Pale Rose, Sea Green.
Next, we will use the Ai Portfolio Template Die Set (5952) to die cut the tag and pocket. The beautiful pattern papers are from the Ai Easter Bunny Paper Pack (6036). These 6"x6" double-sided paper packs are perfect for your layered cards since all of the papers coordinate so nicely!
Let's also die cut the layers for the card using the two largest dies from the Ai Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies (5063). We can layer these onto a standard A2 size card base.
Now, we can add a pretty plaid scalloped rectangle panel onto the card and then let's add the pocket onto to the card using some strong double-sided tape to attach this securely to the card. To this pocket we can add a strip of floral paper and the little spoon!
Let's add some Mother's Day sentiments from this same stamp set but again this card would be great for any occasion if you change out the sentiments for a special birthday, friendship, thinking of you, or thank you card!
For the tag, we will add some hemp twine in Dusty Rose and tie a pretty bow!
Again, using that same paper pack we will fussy cut some flowers and attach those to the cards, gluing some flat and popping up a few others.
As a finishing touch, we will scatter some pretty sparkly white gems around the card for added interest and fun!
Thank you so much for joining me today! Have a fun and crafty day!!!
Ai Portfolio Template Die Set (5952)
Hello Ai Fans!!
I truly hope that all Mom's and Mom figures out there had a wonderful day yesterday and was able to celebrate your day with family and friends! I wanted to make a card using the new 6024 Tea Time Set. I stamped the teacup onto a Copic friendly paper using Memento Tuxedo black ink and then created a mask for it so I could stamp the flowers. I knew the flower bouquet stamp wasn't going to fill the top of the teacup, so I stamped it once above the teacup, and then stamped it two more times on a separate piece of cardstock. After coloring them all up, I played around with the additional two bunches of flowers to figure out how I wanted to place them to get the look I wanted, and then got busy fussy cutting the pieces that I decided on. There are two separate pieces that are actually popped up from the flat image of the teacup and flower bouquet. I'm a dimensional girl! LOL! I then stamped the sentiment on one banner, but cut an additional four banners with the same die. I just glued them together and it comes out like home made thick chipboard. It makes the sentiment so sturdy, adds lots of dimension, and I didn't have to pop it up! I just love the awesome stitch detailing around that banner die!
Copic markers used:
RV10, 32, 34, and 69
G40, 43, and 46
B00, 41, and 45
T1 and 2
Hello and Welcome to Watercolor Weekend. Wishing all of the wonderful Mom’s out there a very happy Mother’s Day!! The new 6024 Tea Time Set has sentiments just for Mom, and is a beautiful set.
I decided to use the largest tea cup for my card today. I started off with a piece of watercolor paper and die cut the panel and then die cut out a decorative section in the upper corner. I then stamped my image in N49, after stamping off once in the bottom corner. I used set 5937 My Trust Set for the flowers. Using the stamp positioner and in N49, stamping off once, and placing the flowers in the teacup. I started with the flowers first by adding 817. I like to place color in the darkest areas first to set the pedals apart. Pulling that color out to the ends of the pedals and adding more color as necessary. For the inside of the flowers I added 025 with a touch of 947, which I have found works really well with yellows. I shaded around the flowers inside the cup with 565, and used the same color to give definition to areas of the cup and saucer. For the flowers on the cup I used 703, trying to give it dimension without giving it to much. I wanted it to appear a bit on the “flat” side. For the leaves and stems I used 126. I also used 565 to shade under the teacup and under the saucer. I then added just a touch of 703 around the outside edges of the image just to give a bit more dimension to it without adding to much color.
I matted my image onto some pink cardstock and then attached it to my card base. Now you could leave this as it is, it would make a perfect card for any day occasions. Going through my dies I decided on 5132 Tag Stitched Dies for my sentiment. I first stamped Happy Mother’s Day on some watercolor paper and then centered my die over it and cut it out. After attaching this to my card I was going to put a gem over the hole on the tag and then remembered I had some little flowers in my stash and chose to use them instead.
Hello crafty friends! With Mother's Day just around the corner (it's tomorrow!), I'm absolutely in the mood for pink! Today's card is a celebration of all things lovely, featuring the gorgeous 6024-Tea Time Set, a beautiful collection of tea-themed stamps and dies.
To create a pretty backdrop for my teacups, I pieced together a striped design using shimmering silver metallic cardstock and two delightful patterns from the 6034-Inspirational Easter Cover Paper Pack (who says Easter paper can't be versatile?! 😉). To add a touch of elegance, I wrapped a soft pink satin ribbon around the bottom and finished it with a sweet bow before adhering the whole panel to a crisp white A2 card base.
And of course, the inside needed some love too! I stamped a heartfelt "Happy Mother's Day" along with a delicate flower sprig – both included in the wonderful Tea Time Set.
Next up, my favorite part – bringing that adorable stacked teacup image to life with my COPIC markers! I had fun choosing a vibrant mix of colors for each cup, making them unique. To add a little extra flair, I used the sweet flower sprig from the set to decorate a couple of the cups. For a touch of whimsy and shine, I dotted other cups with both a white and a gold pen.
The set also includes a matching stamp and die for the spoon, which I stamped, colored, and then easily cut out – such a handy addition!
To create a focal point for the teacups, I die-cut a white and a pink oval using the 5727-Nested Oval Dies and layered them together. Then, I popped the colored stacked teacup image on top with two layers of foam tape for lift and dimension. I positioned this oval just above the ribbon on my card and tucked the little spoon alongside it.
I hope you enjoyed seeing how I brought this teacup image to life! It's amazing how coloring and a few details can really make a stamp shine. Don't forget to visit the AI store for all your card-making essentials. Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Friday, Art Impressions Friends!
Tasha here, and I’m excited to share a sweet Mother's Day card featuring two new Art Impressions sets: 6024–Tea Time and 6039–Just For Her! This card was inspired by the Art Impressions “Show Mom She's Special!” Challenge and made with love for my amazing Mother-in-Law.
I started with a metallic pink base for a soft, elegant shine, and layered it with gorgeous floral paper from the new 6051–Mother’s Day Paper Pack—I just love how fresh and pretty the prints are!
The centerpiece of the card is the adorable tea set, which I stamped, colored with pink-toned Copic markers, and then die-cut using the matching dies. I added dimension with foam tape and even drew in tiny pink flowers for a personal touch. A white gel pen helped brighten the details and highlight the flower centers.
To finish it off, I added the “Happy Mother’s Day” greeting and layered in some silver glitter paper—because a little sparkle goes a long way!
