Hello, Ai Fans!
Christmas and Halloween have arrived at Art Impressions!
We are so excited to have new holiday releases to share with you! This has been a crazy year, and we are all looking forward to the beauty of the fall, the warmth of Thanksgiving, and the peaceful joy of Christmas!
Our New Halloween Set is our Halloween Critters! This set comes with a fox, bunny, raccoon and owl dressed in cute costumes with plenty of candy and sentiment stamps to make a bowl full of treats! And, by popular demand, these clear stamps have matching dies!
Our New Christmas Sets include our Animal Nativity Set, Chubby Snowmen Set,
and new Large Snowflake Dies!
Our Animal Nativity features a baby cow, donkey, sheep, rabbit, camel, and Jesus, as well as perky birds and sweet sentiments.
For those snow-lovers, we have our Chubby Snowmen set that showcases three bundled of snow-people and one rosy-cheeked rabbit, as well as fun sentiments to use to your delight! Just like our Halloween Critters, these sets now come with dies as well! Merry Christmas--less fussy cutting!!!
Last but not least, we have our Large Snowflake Dies with 18 different snowflakes--like our Small Snowflake Dies, but more of a blizzard than a flurry!
And finally, we have our newest Twisters Sets!
Our Witch Twist Set and Santa Twist Set work with our Twist Frame Die (sold separately) for a fun and festive addition to our new 2020 Twisters Line!
You can shop these sets here. Happy shopping!
For our new challenge this week, we have a double feature!
Sharon and Lynn have some fun tutorials for us below!
Hello AI Fans!!
I am so excited to be able to show you this brand new Nativity Set by Art Impressions! It truly touches my heart. It was so fun to color all these adorable animals worshiping Jesus on the morning of his birth! Here is the finished product, and yes, I had to use every single stamp that is in the set! You could still make an adorable card using just a couple of the animals, but I wanted to squeeze every single one into this A2 card! :) It's so wonderful that AI includes all the dies for everything in this set!!
First thing is to stamp all the images out on your paper and color them up. I used Copic markers which are listed below. Look at all the wonderful images and sentiments that are included in this amazing set!!
There's something about cows, I have to put spots on them. I have no idea what it is, but I've done it for forever! I just use a Copic Multiliner pen and draw them in, then color away!
I wanted to make a shining star, so used a sun stencil I had along with some Distress inks to create it. I just didn't sponge ink into the sun area. I left it alone and popped up the star that is in the set.
I created a little hill and distressed the edges to ground the scene. Though I'm not sure why since I used all the animals around the baby Jesus, you can't really see it.
And then I used Scotch Mounting tape to pop up all the animals around baby Jesus. I added a little twine bow and my favorite sentiment.
Thanks so much for taking the time to visit! Until next time - stay crafty!!!
hugs
