Holly Jolly Christmas by Rhonda

Hello Ai Fans!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
I was surrounded by loved ones enjoying
a delicious meal together.  I am truly blessed!
Sending out Christmas cards is my next big project.
With many cards to make and send,
I like to keep it simple. I have been stamping with
Joyful Christmas Set #4314 and Holly Jolly #G4168.
I added a little bling with silver paper and blue rhinestones.

Here is the inside of card.

There is still time to play along...
Blessings,

Joyful Christmas Set (Sku#4314)

Penguin Shaker card by Crystal

Hello Ai Fans !!
It's Crystal here  , today with a heavy heart I am making my card for my last post with Ai , my term has come to an end and I must say good-by , I hope you have enjoyed my creations and will still come visit me on my blog www.8upscrapin.com ,come by and sign up with your email to keep seeing my posts . Today's card is a shaker card using Penguins  , Sledding Penguins sku#Q3062 and Decorating penquins sku # T3055 and Merry Christmas sku#G4166 .

I am going to walk you thru how I made this card
first I stamped the Sledding Penguins sku#Q3062  and then make a mask of that image

next I lay mask of the stamped image and ink up only the tree on the Decorating penquins sku # T3055 and stamp the tree over the sledding image

now I have a tree behind my sledding image

next I need a foam frame to seal in my goodies for my shaker card , so to do this I use two sizes of my oval die and cut a ring from fun foam , I also used the biggest of the two dies and cut an oval from plastic ( I use the plastic my dies or embossing folders come in )

I color my image and the used glossy accents to glue foam frame to image cut , add in my shaved ice flakes and diamond dust for shaker stuff , add glossy accents and top with the plastic oval

next I use the smallest die to make a frame to cover my image use foam tape at corners to keep frame level at corners

add the snowflake frame over the oval the enclosed shaker again glossy accents to adhere shaker to paper frame ( I use glossy accents because it works best for gluing plastic )

my next tip .. when punching snowflakes out glitter paper is often too thick to punch so this is what I do , I use Sizzix adhesive sheets to add glitter to my punches , first peel one side if the adhesive off and adhere to paper , punch your shape then peel off the other layer of adhesive sheet and sprinkle on glitter , rub in to glue and there you have it a perfect glitter shape and no harm to your punch . I got my adhesive sheet from Stampin Up

my finished card

inside my card I stamp the Merry Christmas then I  mask it off and stamp my decorating penguins over it

Thank you to all my Ai fans and to Art Impressions for the chance to grow in my creativity using these awesome stamps ,I hope you will come by and follow me on my blog www.8upscrapin.com  and keep in touch ,I truly love creating for you and love hearing from you in your commits you leave .

Caroling Tots by Karen Day

Hello Ai fans!

I have a soft & sparkly Christmas card for you today, featuring the sweet Caroling Tots (Sku#T307) stamp:

 

You can barely tell that I have sprinkled chunky glitter all across the icicle border, on the snowflakes and in and around the carolers - but it is quite soft & sparkly in person!  The sentiment is Bright with Joy (Sku#H4078)

Don't forget that our Gobble T'il You Wobble Challenge (cards with movement) is on for an extra week due to the Thanksgiving holiday, so you still have plenty of time to join in! 

Happy stamping, everyone!  And a very Happy Thanksgiving, too!

 

 



Gobble gobble by Kerry

Hello Ai friends and happy happy Monday!

Since Thanksgiving is just a few days away, I figured it would be fun to share a card using this adorable little guy.  Of course, it's the turkey (SKU# F1106).  Isn't he so cute?

Up for a challenge?!  Why not, come join the fun at the Ai challenge!  

The theme is just perfect…  Gobble 'till you wobble!

Reindeer Games by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans! 

Christmas is nearly upon us so today I'm sharing Reindeer Games Set (Sku#4351) from Art Impressions 2013 Christmas line.

I can't remember where I got this old Bingo game but I thought the game card fit perfect with the reindeer games verse!  I looked for a board that had the #25 on it for Christmas day and then framed it with some Spellbinders dies.

Here's a photo of the inside with the adorable verse.

Here's an alternate version I made.  I added some Stickles to this one.

The current challenge over at Art Impressions Challenges is Gobble til You Wobble.  (Cards with movement)

The challenge is in honor of the newest Shake Your Booty set called GOBBLE SET.

Hello Ai Fans!  

I've used two images on the front of my card.

and

Chicken and Egg
(from the fronts and backs line)

On the inside is the other side of the chicken, the second part of the sentiment on the front and these little cuties...CHICKS.
 

Here's an alternate version that I made.

This one has BIRD TRACKS on the front.
