Dairy Christmas! by Karen Day

Hello Ai fans!

The Art Impressions holiday stamp sets are outstanding this year!  I think Dairy Christmas (Sku #4789) is my favourite... here are a couple of cards that are featured in the Winter edition of Creative Scrapbooker magazine:

 I love the cow!!  He is quick and easy to colour, too!  I fussy cut him and popped him & the sentiment up with pop dots, and added some sparkles and glitter trim for some bling.

 Here's another quick-colour card!  I love the little egg six-pack!

 And here is a coordinating card featuring images from Merriest Christmas (Sku #4790).  I decided to have the snowmen on the inside of the card, and used the Window Die (Sku #4619) on the outside, so that you could peek in to see them.  I fussy cut around the image, keeping a bit of a snow bank at the bottom for them to sit on, then mounted them on a square of patterned paper.  I made sure they were centered behind where the window opening would be.

 Copics used: B07, 05, 02, 00, 000, 0000, 97, 95, 93, 91, C7, 5, 3, 1, 00, R32, 30, Y23, YR16, 15, E43, 41.

a very dairy Christmas by Diane Zechman

Hello Ai friends and happy Thursday!

 

Today I am sharing a couple cards using the Dairy Christmas Set (4789) .  I think this first one is my fave... how fun is that joyous cow?  I gave it a simple water-colored background and used some Copics to dot the festive scarf.

 

The next two are cards that would be perfect for all our chicken lovin' friends... cluck cluck!

I went with bright, non-traditional colors here...  :)

I hope you are enjoying your Christmas card crafting.  Have a great day and… happy stamping!
