Happy Easter from Ai!

Hello Ai Fans!

Happy Easter! 

 Today I'm sharing an adorable Easter Tots image called Basket Bunnies.

I used a verse called Got Eggs on the front and on the inside I used Block Happy Easter.

Easter Wishes with Bunny frame

Hi AI Fans!

This cute scene is a great stamp  Bunny Frame.
This Motive is fine in it self, so I just put a bow in the corner.
I used two different sizes on the  letters, otherwise there would have been room for both words

Here I show how to make bows.

I made a ribbon tools of plastic. It should be as wide as you want the bow.  Here I found a plastic ruler that I cut a gash in. But it also goes well with a lid from a ice cream jar

Picture 1.Start to wrap  twice around  the ruler.

Picture 2. Stick the end of the ribbon thru the gash.

  

Picture 3. When you get the end of the ribbon again, make an ordinary knot

Picture 4. Now you have a finished bow. Take it off and correct it if it´s necessary.

Cut off the ends, depending on how long you want them and burn gently at them, then they do not fray.

Want to wish you all a very

Happy Easter!.

Reach for the Stars!

Hello and Happy Friday Ai friends! Today I have a Graduation card to share with you. I'm so excited to finally get my hands on this new Ai Grad 2013 Reach for the Stars stamp SKU# 4292. It's such a fabulous sentiment stamp, and oh so versatile!

My card size is a regular A2 (4-1/4" x 5-1/2") size. I wanted to use a formal color scheme of black, sliver, and white. I used an older paper pad from DCWV 8" x 8" called La Creme Stack (printed paper with flocking). I paired that with black and brushed silver cardstock. I added some black diamond stickles to the cute star in the sentiment for some added glimmer. I added some rhinestone accent swirls to add some extra bling.

On the inside of my card I stamped a simple Congratulations sentiment SKU# G959. I added a large strip of matching designer paper at the bottom. I hope you have enjoyed my Graduation card. I can't believe graduation's are just around the corner! Thank you for stopping by the Art Impressions blog. Happy stamping!
