Flock Star by Dana Warren

Hello AI fans!!

If you are a fan of Flamingos and interactive cards you can't go wrong with the Flamingo Wiggle Wabble set! All the Wiggle Wabble sets are so cute!! 

To start I added a Simon Says Stamp Dot & Lines stencil to the front of a white card base. I used washi tape to hold it in place. Then I added liquid glue to the stencil, just like it was paste. I set it aside to dry and cleaned off the stencil before the glue could dry.

While my background was drying I stamped and die cut all the pieces from the Flamingo set. Then I used my Spectrum Noir AquaBlend Pencils to color the image, instead of using water I used a basic alcohol blender pen to create a watercolor-like look. I used Petunia, Carmine, Ebony, Strawberry, Coral, Bottle Green.

Then I assembled the flamingo with the tiny brads that come with the set. If you run out an can purchase more here. Next, when my background was drying I added some gold foil and ran it through my die cutting machine. The dried glue is sticky enough to hold the gold foil. 

I cut a strip of pattern paper from my scrap pile and stamped the Happy Birthday Flock Star sentiment. I added the strip across the card. Last I added the Flamingo with a wobble.

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!!

Flamingo Wiggle Wobble set by Cheri Burry!

Hello Ai Fans!

Today I am sharing with you the adorable "Flamingo Wiggle Wobble" set from Art Impressions.

The "Wiggle Wobble" Line of stamps are just too cute and make such a fun interactive card for your recipient.

I made my own backgrounds by using some Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks. I added some of the inks to my craft pad and then spritzed then with water. Then just drag your paper through the ink for a cool look! It looks really cool if you add some ink splatters too. The Flamingo is so easy to put together! The set comes with the stamps, dies and some mini brads to put it together with. Then all you have to do is use the mini action wobble that comes with the set to pop up your wiggly image!

For this card I just used some ink splatters and paper from the Echo Park I'd Rather Be Crafting collection. For a different look I just added the heads of the flamingos to this card.

I also added some gold and white ink splatters to this background using a paintbrush.

Just look how cute the "Flamingo Wiggle Wobble" is in action!

Flamingo Wiggle Wobble by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

Recently Art Impressions released a new line of stamps called the Wiggle Wobbles.

I've used the Flamingo on my card.

4955 – Flamingo Wiggle Wobble

You attach it together using tiny little brads and then place it on an action wobble to make it shake!

These make such a fun, interactive card.

Check out the video to see her in action.

NEW VIDEO - Flamingo Wiggle Wobble Quick Tips

Hello Ai Fans!

With the launch of our new Wiggle Wobble sets, we wanted to share a quick tip video on how to put these sets together! Kate will show you a special trick on how to leave a gap in your brads, so there is more motion in your characters. Once you have all the brads attached, you can stick the image on an Action Wobble to create a fun, interactive card!

Jil is here to share her first project with the Flamingo Wiggle Wobble with a bit of tropical fun! This is a great quick photo tutorial for creating your first Wiggle Wobble card!

Hello Ai fans!

I placed the flamingo stamps into my Mini Misti and stamped them onto Strathmore Bristol 140 lb. paper with Jet Black Archival Ink.  I needed to stamp second impressions of both leg parts and the wing.

I used the matching die cuts with my die cut machine to cut out all of the parts.  Tip: Be careful to align the holes for the brads.

I colored the flamingo using my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and a water brush.
Flamingo - Light Pink, Carmine Pink
Beak - Light Gray, Gray
Glasses - Light Cobalt

 I added a Black Glaze pen to her eyes. Then I assembled the flamingo with brads. This is what she looks like finished.
  


I added a very simple watercolor scene to the background onto a piece of Strathmore 140 lb. Watercolor Paper. I added in a horizon line using Tropical 101 & blended out some color onto my Ai Watercolor Palette to add more Tropical marker below the horizon line with my #4 WC Brush.  I then added Tombow marker 912 to my  Ai Watercolor Palette and blended it below the water. Next, I went above the horizon line and stamped the clouds from the Watercolor EZ Project B.  I scribbled Magenta 20, Steel Blue 17 and Tombow marker 565 to my  Ai Watercolor Palette. One at a time, I applied each color to the sky using my #4 WC Brush

I used some DCWV papers I had in my scrap drawer to complete the card. As I was putting the finished flamingo onto the card, I added her onto the included action wobble and watched her dance around.

Thanks for stopping by and Have a Great Day!
