Jingle Set Shaker by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing my favorite new SHAKER from Art Impressions!

This one is called Jingle Set (Sku#4681).

The special thing about the Shakers is that they come with a die to cut the "shake" part out and an action wobble. (you can purchase additional wobbles for future cards)

Here's another one I made.  These shaker sets are perfect to give to anyone but I especially think kids would love to get a card like this.  I know all my nieces would giggle in their adorable way as they "tweak" Rudolph's butt and watch him wiggle!

Okay, Santa!  I'm ready!

Monochromatic cards by Karen Day

Hello Ai fans!

I've veered away from my usual style of bright colours and patterned paper today... to try a little sponging.  Art Impressions has a wonderful collection of "scene building" stamps which I have been itching to use... and as you can see, once I got started, I couldn't stop:

I've used two shades of grey ink and paper, with the occasional bit of black thrown in.  The first few cards are using Deer (Sku#H3236) and Grove of Trees (Sku#H895):

 

And this one is using both Lg. Mountain Fir (Sku#J3238) and Mountain Fir (Sku#G3237):

I kept my cards very CAS, so that they can be used for any occasion - I even thought about adding a little glitter to some of the snow so that they could be holiday cards.  The card bases are bright white in reality, even though they appear a little grey - but when I edited them any more, the detail of the sponging disappeared in the photo.  Here's a shot of how I masked the rectangles and moon:

 

Happy Stamping, everyone!
