Desert Window Frame by Niccole Kulig

Hello Ai fans!!

"To my friend ... The warmest of wished for a day filled with sunshine"

I am stopping by today to share a quick card/gift for someone special. I am using the Desert Window from Ai along with the 3D Frame die.

As you can see there isn't much to this card.  It is nice to make something that doesn't require a million steps to create something beautiful.  This literally didn't even take one full sheet of paper.

I colored my Desert Window stamped image with my Copic markers.  I loved using the variation of pinks for the sky and the reflection onto the ground and water.  Don't be afraid to try something new with your markers.  Out of the whole process the coloring took me the longest. 

 I cut a piece of paper with the 3D frame die.  Make sure though to use a piece a little wider than 5.5".  I cut mine at 6" to be safe.  and my die fit perfect.  Once you have the shape cut, the directions on the package of the 3D Frame die are very easy to follow and you can exactly see where to fold everything.  Once everything is glued in the stand is very easy to put on as seen above.  The only tip I have is do not flush it with the bottom of your square, raise it up a little so when it stands it leans a tiny bit back and not so perfectly straight up and down.

Once again here is the finished card, or should I say gift?  I know the perfect person I am giving this to.  It will look great at work on her desk.  Everyone needs a little something to look at that brightens their day! 

Thank you so much for stopping by and I can't wait to spend more time with you soon!

Christmas Drive Window by Carol Hintermeier

Hello Ai Fans!

Are you getting ready for Christmas?  Have you finished making your Christmas cards?  If you still need to make more, this beautiful Christmas Drive Window would be just right to make those special, but easy to make, cards.  The sentiment around the frame reads "Christmas is the time of year when all roads lead to home."

I made this into tabletop art by using Art Impressions 3D Frame Die with some patterned paper.  However, this is so easy to stamp onto a card and add some quick coloring for a quick and beautiful card.  I colored this a while back and apologize that I cannot find the list of Spectrum Noir markers I used.

Thank you so much for stopping by!  Happy stamping!

Framed Autumn Window by Carol Hintermeier

Hello and happy Monday Ai Fans!

Today my card features the newly released Autumn Window to the World (WTW).  

I colored this adorable image with my Spectrum Noir markers.  Then I used Art Impressions 3D Frame Die to create this frame from some patterned paper.  After the frame was assembled I adhered it to some wood look paper.

It's no secret that I love gingham print of any kind!  So it's a happy day to pull out some of my favorite red gingham ribbon to use on a card!

Thank you for stopping by!  Happy stamping!!

Oh Sing by Dana Warren

Hello AI fans!! 

My card today features the Oh Sing Window and the 3D Frame die! If you are a fan of the Windows to the World stamps you have to have the 3D frame die!! And even if you are not, it can be used with any stamp for decor or given as a gift!! 

I started by stamping the Oh Sing Window on watercolor card stock. Then I used the following Distress Markers to color it: Evergreen Bough, Peacock Feathers, Mowed Lawn, Squeezed Lemonade, Carved Pumpkin, Vintage Photo, Tumbled Glass.

Next, I pulled out some double sided pattern paper and cut it the 3D frame. Then I trimmed my colored image so it would fit inside the square the frame makes. With a little folding and tucking, I created the frame around the opening. 

With adhesive, I made sure the tabs would stay in place. Then I just adhered frame over the colored image. Last I just adhered the stand so my frame would stand up. Super easy to make some decor and a little gift for a friend!

Thanks for stopping by!! Happy Stamping!!

Skeleton Wiggle Wobble Frame by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing one the most fun new releases ever!!

This is the Skeleton Wiggle Wobble from Art Impressions.

4952 – Skeleton Wiggle Wobble

I framed the skeleton with Art Impressions 4887 – 3D Frame Die.

This card was so much fun to make because it's so dimensional.  This guy really pops off the "page."  I'm thinking into the future...even though this is such an amazingly perfect stamp/die set for Halloween, how much fun would this guy be for an Over-the-Hill card?!  Hmmmm....the wheels are already turning!

Sending you doggy kisses by Kerry

Hello Ai friends and happy Monday to you!

I'm sharing a couple of fun get well cards using the Doggy Kisses set and the 3D Frame Die.

I used the paw and bandage stamp from the set and randomly stamped them on a blank card stock to create matching background paper. Then I distressed all the edges with distress ink.
