Hot Cocoa Card by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing a new card inspired by the Ai Diamonds and Pearls Challenge. For my project, I used the cute 5564 -Mousey Christmas Set to create a fun holiday card. I love hot cocoa, and this would totally be me if I was a mouse! 

The adorable mouse was stamped with black hybrid ink and I used Copic Markers for all of the coloring. To go with the challenge theme, I added little rhinestones to the sky and I love the sparkle! I think this stamp is just too cute!

To complete the card, I added holiday pattern paper and stamped "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas" with dark green ink. This mouse would also look great on a gift tag this holiday season!

Thank you so much for stopping over today and I hope you enjoyed this card!

Have a wonderful day!

Let's Get Festive Cards by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing two cards created with the fun 5565 - Cheers My Deers Set! These cards were inspired by the current Ai Stencils or Masks #339 Challenge and are perfect as we head into the holiday season!

I stamped the images with black ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I LOVE coloring clothing and had so much fun customizing the outfits. Mixing up colors and patterns allows you to give the characters totally different looks and the little reindeer-themed hats are just too cute!

To add more color, I stenciled a brick design with bright ink colors. I also cut a snowy ground to allow the background colors to pop; I love the teal and pink! 

Lastly, I attached layers of silver glitter paper, colorful cardstock, and a layer of sweater pattern paper. I think these cards are so festive and will be fun to send out this Christmas!

I hope you enjoyed today's projects and are having a wonderful day!

Have a Meow-val-ous Birthday Card by Tasha!

Good morning Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing a cat-themed card created with the 5369-Feline Set. This set is purrr-fect for year-round cards and includes the coordinating dies!

I love all the cat stamps in this set, but thought this group of alley cats would look great in a night scene. I stamped the cats with black ink and colored them with Copic Markers. It's so fun to color their fur and mix up the colors and textures. Which one is your favorite?

The background was created with a large moon stencil and various shades of Distress Oxide Ink. I used white ink to create paint splatter details, I love the bright moon! 

Lastly, I added a stamped greeting and attached several paper layers. The colors in the paper coordinate with the colors used on the cats; I like blue and orange together with the gold glitter. I also stamped one of the included sentiments to the bottom to complete the design.

I hope you enjoyed today's card and are having a wonderful day!

 

Sportsman Birthday Card by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing a card created for the Ai "Let's Hear it for the Boys" Challenge! I used the 5043 - Ole Buck Set to create a fun birthday card!

I stamped the group of friends with black ink and used Copic Markers for the coloring. The camouflage print and bright orange color adds to the sportsman theme. In the Northwoods of Wisconsin, this is the totally the clothing choice of so many people during the Fall deer hunting season. 

The greeting "Sending A Few Bucks For Your Birthday" was also stamped with black ink and I used Distress Oxide Ink to add color to the background. Tan shades were blended on the bottom to represent the ground and smoky blue colors toward the top to look like the early morning sky. 

Lastly, I added orange pattern paper and brown card stock to complete the card before attaching it to an A2 sized card base. 

Thank you for checking out today's card and I hope you are having a wonderful day!

Frankly, You're Awesome Card by Tasha!

Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing a Halloween card featuring the fun 5509-Peek-a-Boo Set! This new stamp set has quickly become a favorite and this little Frankenstein character is just too cute!

To give a Halloween vibe to the background, I added golden clouds and attached a scary looking tree. I also glued little enamel eyes on the tree to look like bats or some type of creatures were watching from the shadows; I think this adds to the spooky look!

The little Frank character was stamped with black ink and colored with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating dies (included in the set) to cut him and the pumpkin out. He is just the happiest looking monster!

Lastly, I stamped "Frankly, I think you're awesome!" and added grass in a deep olive green shade, layers of black cardstock, and a pretty pattern paper. This card makes me smile and it's perfect to gift to someone special this Halloween!

I hope you enjoyed today's project and are having a fabulous day!

Let it Snow Card by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing a card created for the Ai Buttons & Bows Challenge. I used the 4937 - Santa Paws Set for my card; I just love this little doggie!

The sweet little doggie was stamped with black ink and colored with Copic Markers. I thought it would be fun to have it look like it was snowing. To achieve this, I used Distress Oxide Ink to bring in some color and added little white accents with a white gel pen. I also added snowflakes on top of the dog and bone.

To go with the snowy scene, I stamped "Let it Snow" from the new 5566 - Christmas Sentiments Set. I stamped the greeting with a teal ink color to go with the teal and red color combination I used on the holiday lights and bows. 

Lastly, I attached a gold glitter paper, red card stock, light blue card stock, and a piece of pattern paper. This paper also has bows on the gifts to go with the challenge theme.

Thank you for checking out today's card and I hope you will join in the Buttons & Bows Challenge!

Have a wonderful day!

Full Moon Shines on Halloween Card by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing a CAS Halloween card today created with the M5051-Haunted House Window from Art Impressions! 

The window image was colored with Copic Markers and I used a white gel pen to add little stars to the Fall sky. I love the little spider and the greeting!

 “Ghouls come a knockin’ & black bats are seen the full moon shines on Halloween!”

To complete the card, I added layers of red card stock and a colorful skull pattern paper. I like to make bright and happy Halloween cards and this stamp makes a sweet little not-so-spooky scene! 

Thank you for checking out today's card and I hope you are having a great day!

Have a FabBOOlous Halloween Card by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Ai Fans! 

Tasha here sharing a Fall card featuring the new 5506 – Peek-a-Boo Set! I LOVE this set and the little witch is so much fun to color!

I wanted this card to be Halloween-themed, but not scary, so I used orange and pink colors to keep it bright and happy! I used a cloud stencil and pink ink for the sky and made the grass orange instead of green. I also added sequins to the sky for extra sparkle! 

This set includes several greetings, but the "Have a FabBOOlous Halloween" one is perfect for this design. I stamped it with pink ink and layered it with black card stock to keep it from blending into the background. 

Lastly, I stenciled black bats to the background and added four enamel dots before attaching the card to Halloween bat pattern paper. I like all the bats!
