Art Impressions Mini Die Bridge Cards

 Hello Ai fans!

What a fun new release these Mini Dies have been!

I simply can't decide which set is my favorite!

I have 3 cards for you today.

I used 5325 Sail Mini Dies on my first card.

I made a bridge card which was new to me.

I put together a brief tutorial on how I made it.

First, I cut the paper to A2 size vertically...4 1/4" wide x 11". Then I scored across the middle at 5 1/2".  Place the paper into your paper trimmer and cut 1 1/8" in from the right side, down to the score mark.

Flip the paper over and cut at 1 1/8" again, down to the score line.

Turn the paper so that's it's horizontal and then make a cut from the first cut mark to the other one.  Your paper should look like the lower half  of an H.

Once you have your base cut you can cut pieces to fit exactly over the "flap" pieces or that are ever so slightly smaller so you see the base.

I used the 5338 – Baby Mini Dies to create a baby girl card.

The verse is from 5185 – Baby Girl Set.

For my last card I used 5328 – Halloween Mini Dies.

This is the inside.

I cut two bats so that I could pop him up and spread out his wings.

I also used 5133 – Flag Double Stitched Dies, 

5063 – Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies and 

5064 – Circle Double Stitched Dies.

So...are you as obsessed with these new die sets as I am??

I know these will get used CONSTANTLY!!

It's a Girl Sweet Little One by Crystal

Hello Ai fans! This week I had fun playing with this adorable Baby Girl stamp set. Elephants are so cute for a baby card.  

I don't make too many baby cards but this one was lots of fun to make. I love the elephant I stamped and colored her in then fussy cut her out. I mixed the sentiment up a little it by using the "It's a" stamp and fussy cutting the "girl" stamp.  

I stamped "Sweet little One" onto a die cut banner. I stenciled a square double stitched card stock with a light blue just to add a little dimension to the card.

Happy Stamping!

Welcome Baby! by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a fairly new set to Ai.

This adorable image comes from the set called

5185 – Baby Girl Set.

 I wanted to put together a shaker that reflected something sweet and feminine.  I used some seed beads, sequins and tiny little safety pins.

A friend of mine has requested a baby card for her friend who is due this spring.  She doesn't yet know the sex of the baby so if it's a girl...I'm ahead of the game. If it's a boy...I'll need to get busy with THIS set instead!

I used one of the sentiments and a small

image from the set on the inside of the card.

Happy new baby!!
