Trick or Treat Mini Scrapbook Layout by Nina

  Hello Ai friends, Nina here with a new mini 6 X 6 scrapbook page. I am creating a page about Halloween using the lovely Ghoul Friends Stamp Set, Front Porch Halloween and MB Halloween Set.

I stamped the adorable images using My Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and my Mini Misti and colored them using my Copic Markers.

Copic Shades:

Blue Green: BG32 BG34

Oranges: YR24 Yr27 YR01 YR21 YR07

Reds: R21 R22 R24 R37

Yellow Greens: YG95 YG97

Yellow: Y38

Browns: E43 E42 E17 E15 E13 E11 E25 E27 E29 E99 E59 E37

I then  cut my images and backed them with foam tape, put them aside to start creating my scrapbook layout background.

I cut a piece of Purple Skulls pattern paper into a little bigger than 5.5 X 5.5 Inch and used a Halloween paper collection from my stash.

I cut two strips from same paper collection and stacked them behind each other to give to be my ground of the scene. I attached the girls image on the ground strips and created a table with black papr to put my treat bowls on.

I added my lantrn garland and the spiders. I positioned the spider as if they are trying to reach the candy :) they are so adorable.

I then decorated with stars, enamel dots and couple sentiment stickers and added the whole panel to a star pattern paper background.

I then cute the four squares of the letters forming the word Fall from the same paper collection and backed only two of them with foam tape to give a variety of dimension and attached them towards the top of my layout.

I die cut multiple leaves from different pattern papers using the Leaf Frame Die Set and glued them behind the girl, the fence, the hillside and the pumpkins. I even places some around the word blocks.

I finish off with couple heart stickers and enamel dots then placed my whole panel on a light teal background.

  

Top 10 of 2022 by Reneé Matarese

 Hello Ai fans!

It's my turn to share my Top 10 cards of 2022.



Here they are, in no particular order.
To see the original posts and find links to products just click each photo.

I hope you enjoy this stroll down memory lane!

I love making masculine cards and don't find them to be the challenge that a lot of people do.
I think growing up in the country and loving all things country like earth tones, wood and
animals helps with that.

This one was made for my son's birthday.  My husband and I never imposed our musical taste

on our children but I was still lucky enough to have had them both grow up to love the Beatles!

This card is a nod to Yellow Submarine and Octopus's Garden.

Love these Valentine's I made for the kids at school.

Mushrooms are one of my favorite things!  Not far behind bees.  I love to eat

them and think they're so beautiful to look at.

Anyone who has followed me through the years on the Design Team knows that several times

a year I make some fairly elaborate cards.  MANY, MANY sets and lots of time involved.

This Charlotte's Web card was one of those.  It was inspired by the Rat Freebie.  He 

reminded me of Templeton.

Koala's couldn't be cuter!

Oh these Matchbooks!  When I first saw them I'll be honest...Yikes!

So tiny and so much work.

Not true.

The dies make these so easy to assemble and now I can't get enough of them!
I've seen some of the other designers Top 10 already and it seems it's unanimous.

Matchbooks for the win!

This one was my daughter's birthday card this year.  She LOVES succulents and fun pots as 

well as her pink Crocs.  Her birthday was in June and she still has this on display in our kitchen.

Of course I had to have a pick with bees on it.

This Crown set is one of my all time favorites.

Two of the bats on this card actually "FLY!"  Click the photo to see the original post and video.
This is another one of those really elaborate cards I love to make.

I hope some of my cards have inspired you over the past year.

I know I always love your cards and get so many ideas from you as well.

Have a wonderful December and cheers to the new year!

See you in 2023!

Halloween Hello Card by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing a new card created with the fun 5487-Front Porch Halloween Set! This set is fantastic and includes so many accessories to decorate your 5512-Front Porch Door this Fall season!

I enjoy making Halloween cards and this set made it so easy to create a spooky Halloween scene. I love the happy pumpkins and the not-so-scary skeleton! 

For this card, I used the coordinating dies (included in the Front Porch Set) to cut out the window opening and the door. I added a little 'Trick or Treat" door sign and the Spooky sign to the inside of the door. You can mix and match stamps to customize your project or add in stamps from other sets.

The top greeting "Happy Halloween" was embossed on black paper and I added a cute little sparkly bat to the sentiment strip. I always tend to color my bats in purple tones and like how they look against dark backgrounds. 

Lastly, I created a spooky background with stencils and stamped trees from the 4940-Happy Hauntings Set. I also added orange glitter paper, pattern paper, and black paper to complete the design.

Thank you for checking out today's project and I hope you are having a wonderful day!

New! Front Porch Halloween set by Reneé Matarese

 Hello Ai fans!

Who loves Halloween??

I do! I do!

 I was so excited when I saw the new 5487 – Front Porch Halloween Set which is part of the Front Porch Series.

I went a little dark and spooky with this one.  My kids both LOVE Halloween and being "scared."  Well,  kids...they're 22 and 23 but they're very much kids at heart when it comes to having a good scare at Halloween.

The awesome thing about this set is that you can go a little creepy or you can keep it totally cute for those that don't love that.

This set comes with coordinating dies which is great!  For my trees, I stamped and colored one of them and then cut it out.  For the rest, I just used the die to cut different shades of black and gray trees.

The little sign with BOO on it is from the Spooky Wagon set from the Ai Rides Series.

The fun scene inside the door is from the MB Halloween set.

Do you see my bats? They were cut out with the dies from the set.  I then used a piece of acetate and a brad to make them "FLY" through the air.  I love an interactive card!

Copics used:

T1, T2, T3, C8, 100, Y08, Y11, Y26, YR12,
YR18, YR31, G14, E23, E29, E37, E81

Halloween Porch Party by Janet

 

I was so excited to see the new sets for the Front Porch Series! I have been waiting to show you the Halloween card I made with the newest set 5487 - Front Porch Halloween Set. I am a big fan of Halloween to begin with and this set doesn't disappoint. There are so many great Halloween images that can be used to decorate the main front porch stamp set 5512 - Front Porch Door Set.

I stamped the door with Versamark on dark gray cardstock and heat embossed it with green embossing powder. After cutting the door out, I placed orange and yellow glitter cardstock behind the windows and door. I then made the house background by cutting 1/2" strips of thin wood veneer and layering them like siding. I created a roof shape out of the veneer as well and cut the window out using the included die and then placed a stamped and colored window frame with orange glitter cardstock behind it. 

I colored and cut out all the images in the set. I also cut several webs and a spider from the 5462 - Web Dies Set. I used yellow and blue glow in the dark Nuvo Drops on the porch light and the bodies of the spiders. It's so fun! I had to test it and of course the bugs and lantern glow yellow and blue. So cool!

Thanks for joining me here today for a fun Halloween card. I hope I've inspired you to start thinking about making your little goblins Halloween cards of their own. The Front Porch Line is waiting for you at the store!

Wishing you a very crafty day!
