Janet's Top 10 for 2024

 Hello Ai Fans! It seems impossible but 2024 is coming to a close. It's been a wonderfully creative year as a design team member of Art Impressions.

Baby, It's Cold Outside! by Janet

 It sure is cold across much of the US and Canada this weekend so I thought it would only be fitting to make a card to acknowledge it. I would say celebrate but.....that's probably the wrong word right? Brrr! I hope all of you have a toasty house and plenty of warm drinks.

I used several die sets for this one. I created the shaped background using the largest page die in the 5768 - Decorative Journal Page 1. It's an unusual use for it but it works great on the card. I trimmed off the edge that is intended to be folded and put in a journal. When applied to the edge of the card, it makes a nice shaped sky for the snowman. This pudgy snowman and his bird friend are from 5351 - Chubby Snowman Set. I colored him with Copic markers. The sentiment is also in the set. I heat embossed it with silver on a circle cut from 5064 - Circle Double Stitched Dies. I made the flurry of snowflakes in the background using 5353 - Lg Snowflake Dies with white glitter cardstock. Finally I added a floss bow, blue enamel dots, and iridescent sequins. It's an icy but cheerful scene. Perfect for what I had in mind!

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you'll stop by the store to see all the things you need for your card, journal, and tag making projects.

Showing the last of my Holiday cards by Sharon Caudle

 Hello AI Fans and Happy 2024!!

I sure hope all of you have had a wonderful start to the new year! I have a few more holiday cards that I haven't been able to show you yet, so thought now is the perfect time. It seems I never have time to show you everything before the Holiday arrives and it's over. So I'm cramming them all into one blog post. Hope you don't mind!  All of the images are stamped with Memento ink and colored with Copic markers. So here we go! 

For this first card, I used #5565 Cheers My Deers Set. I also used #5812 Christmas S2 Paper Pack

For this card, I used #5041 Snow Friend Set. I love how they spell JOY! 

This little cutie pup is from #4937 Santa Paws Set. I used Dr PH Martins Bleed Proof White on his fur. 

Who doesn't love Chubby Little Snowmen?  And that's exactly what this set is #5351 Chubby Snowmen Set

I made a little gift tag with the new set #5802 Joyful Snowman Set. I add a small tag on the back of it with my to and from.  That way, that little tag can be removed and the main portion can be used again in the future! 

And my final card used one of the adorable snowmen from #5802 Joyful Snowman Set and a tree from #5457 Christmas Truck Set and the sentiment is cut out with #5063 Rectangle double stitched dies. 

So that's it for me today!  Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit and until next time - stay crafty!!
