Snow globe Card by Nina

 Hello Ai fans, Nina here and today I wanna share with you how I created this cute Snow Globe Card. I used HM Accessory set, stitched circle die set and stitched rectangle die set.

I stalled the images on white paper using my Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and my Mini Misti and colored then with Copic markers.

I die cut a rectangle with the stitched rectangle biggest die and added a little bit of Speckled Egg distress Ink with my ink blending tool.

And cut two circles in the middle of it to create an opening and a frame around it, I cut the frame again from a white paper and attached the ink blended background, the circle and the white frame to a white paper slightly bigger than the ink blended background.

I then added a white hillside border to by my white and made Santa stand on it then tucked the tree behind it and the deer coming from behind the frame.

I cut the word hohoho from red cardstock and attached it on top. I also cut with the scissors a base for the snow globe using the same red cardstock.

Christmas Magic by Sharon Caudle

 Hello AI Fans!

I've got a fun card to show you today that features the AI Rides stamp set ##5457 Christmas Truck Set.  Who doesn't love an old red pickup truck??!! Especially at Christmas time! :)  I wanted to put it into a frosty forest with an evening sky and make it full of presents! It fits right into the current challenge going on over at the Art Impressions Blog! The cute little Santa is the perfect size for the truck! He's from the Holiday Mansion Line of stamps #4927 HM Accessory Set.  Think how cute it would be for a birthday card using the clown from #5907 HM Birthday Set!! Anyway, I also used #5566 Christmas Sentiments and stamped it onto the fishtail banner from #5543 Journal Template Die Set. I colored the sky with my copics using some masking paper for the moon.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and if you haven't joined the That's a Wrap! Challenge over on the blog, what the heck are you waiting for! Can't wait to see your creation! 

Holiday Cheers!!

Santa Is on His Way!

 Santa is on his way. I can hear the bells on his reindeer! I can't wait to see him? How about you!

Today's card is a gate fold. When it opens, the house and the scene around it stays on the left gate. For this project I used the always fun 4926-Holiday Mansion Set with the 4927-HM Accessory Set. I used the 5132-Tag Stitched Die Set to cut the stars out of gold foil cardstock and the Ho Ho Sentiment. The sentiment is one of the many awesome choices in the 5566-Christmas Sentiments Stamp Set.

Looking at this card just makes me want Christmas to get here sooner! Bring it on!

Thanks for stopping by today for a little creative fun. Be sure to visit the Ai Store for lots of additional inspiration.

Wishing you a very crafty day!

Happy Halloween by Sharon Caudle

 Hello AI Fans!!

So I'm sure you've seen the adorable new sets just released by Art Impressions! Today I'm showing you the oh so cute Peek-a-Boo Set #5506!! These are the cutest little Halloween characters ever!! I also added one of the little ghosts from 4927 Holiday Mansion accessory set which contains both Halloween and Christmas images! These were all stamped onto Cryogen White paper and then colored with Copic markers which are listed below. I love coloring Dracula with a white face.  In order to accomplish that, I leave the face uncolored and then used a warm gray marker to create some shadows. I also added pale pink cheeks and think it gives them a true vampire look.

Thanks for stopping by today and hope to see you again soon!

Holiday Decor by Bri Firth

Hello Ai Fans - Bri here! Today I am sharing my first Ai creation for the new year! Now that the holidays are over, how long does it take for your family to take down the seasonal decorations? My card features the Holiday Mansion stamp set and the HM Accessory set. This holiday house is still rockin' its festive decor! This card is also featured on my personal blog, check it out here! 

I used four layers to create the card background. For the top layer I die cut a stitched scalloped rectangle from a bright blue piece of solid cardstock. I used the Kindred Stamps Blizzard stencil with Mermaid Lagoon oxide ink to decorate the solid cardstock. For the second layer I used a retired striped stencil with Mermaid Lagoon and Broken Glass oxide inks. For the final two layers I matted the striped cardstock with gold foil cardstock and red cardstock. I wrapped the four layers together with satin red ribbon and then added a bow! 

This house is covered in holiday decor including the Santa and pile of gifts lawn ornaments, the bells, the wreath, and the Christmas tree in the window. When you open the front door it displays a hidden sentiment "A very merry Christmas from our home to yours!" The top door opens to show a hidden reindeer. 

I used my Copic Sketch alcohol markers to color the house and the holiday decor. The colors I used are listed at the bottom of this post. To finish the card I added glitter enamel dots for embellishment.

Check back next week for more Ai inspiration made by me!

Christmas Holiday Mansion by Carol Hintermeier

Hello Ai Fans!

For my card today, I've dressed up the Holiday Mansion with glitter and shine for Christmas.  The HM Accessory Set is just what you need to make this holiday card!

I stamped all the images in Copic safe ink and colored them with the colors listed below.  I die cut them all using the included coordinating dies.  There's no die for the house, but it's so easy to fussy cut.   For the hill shape, I used a hill border die and added some pretty and sparkly coarse glitter with liquid adhesive.  I cut a piece paper that has just a bit of a pattern to show through the windows and doors.

I decided where to place the cute little images and adhered them to the house.  Then I added some foam tape to the back of the house and stuck the patterned paper piece to it.  Next I glued the hill on, then the house and the extra Christmas tree.

I stamped the sentiment in black ink and die cut it with a die from the Tag Stitched Die set.  I popped it up with foam tape and added the wreath.  For the finishing touches I added Nuvo Crystal Drops and clear glaze to various elements to up the shimmer and shine factor!



Have you started your holiday cards?  I hope this sweet card has give you some inspiration today!  Thank you for stopping by and have a fun, crafty week!
