Art Impressions Blog: Happy Spring Slimline Flip Card

Happy Wednesday Ai Fans!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today we will be creating a super fun flip card using a BRAND NEW RELEASE from Art Impressions! The cute little bunny images are from the Happy Spring Flip Card Set (5736). This set includes the bunnies that you will need for the outside of the flip card, the inside of the flip card, and a spring sentiment! However, please note that you will need the Ai Flip Card Die Set (5103) in order to create the flip card mechanism.

We can start by creating the card base using the flip card die. Although there are measurements on the packaging for a standard A2 size card, we will be creating a slimline card today, so I will give you all of the measurements to create this slimline style card.

Let's start by cutting the card panels using the Ai Slimline Die Set (5463). We will cut two panels from some pretty turquoise cardstock for the sky on the inside and outside of the card. Then we can cut one from some lime green cardstock to create our grassy borders. These dies will give us a nice stitched border all the way around!

To set the scene we will be using a pretty cloudy stencil and some white and blue inks to give the clouds a bit more interest and dimension.

We will need to grab that flip die one more time in order to cut a notch out of the inside card panel. I will show you a quick and easy way to do this!

Now we can stamp and color the cute little bunnies using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Lt Carmine, Purple, Yellow, Orange, Lt Green, Deep Green, Turquoise Green, Gray Brown, Mid Brown, Beige, Lt Gray.

Let's also die cut some tiny flowers using the Ai Garden Mini Dies (5336) using some pretty patterned papers in a variety of pastel colors. We can add an orange center to each of the flowers and then add a bit of glaze to the centers for additional dimension and shine!

For our "Happy Spring" sentiment we will create a striped panel and add a fun banner from the Ai Slimline Die Set (5463)! It will look like our little bunnies are holding up this sentiment banner!

I hope you enjoyed a first look at these cute, fun and happy new spring images!

Thank you so much for joining me today! Have a fun and crafty day!!!
