Frankenstein treat box by Sharon Caudle

 Hello AI Fans!

The current challenge going on right now is "Keep it Contained". That includes a LOT of options for you, so I sure hope you join along! I created a simple little box by using 5805 Mini Journal Box Dies. I love making little treat boxes for the grandkids! I couldn't help but use the amazing new 6120 Frankenstein Puppet Set! Oh my word!!! I am going to have so much fun making a bunch of these! Isn't he the cutest? I didn't want a card, I just wanted him to stand up and be on a wobble. So I grabbed the oval nested and scalloped dies, glued them together and then just cut off a bit of the bottom so it was flat. Then to make it stand, I grabbed the easel die from 5901 Mini Rectangle Frame Dies. I added a few little touches like the fence and ghosts to enhance it. It's so much fun to see him wiggle around when you touch him! You can die cut his face and hands out of colored cardstock if you want. But personally I like to cut it out of my Copic friendly cardstock and color him with markers. I just like the way it looks. 

This shows the easel stand and wobble. 

So that's it for me today! I hope I was able to inspire you to grab your paper and glue and join in our "Keep it Contained" challenge for a chance to win a free set of your choice!! Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit and until next time - stay crafty!!

Copic markers used:

YG01, 03, and 05

C1, 2, and 3

I added a little pink chalk to his cheeks

Fall Greetings by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

Since the Never Have I Ever challenge last month, I've really been trying to use stamps that I've never used before. This time, for the Not Just Paper challenge I pulled out 5596 – Harvest Farm Truck Set. I felt it was perfect for this time of year. My area is full of farms and our pumpkin farms are about to be in full swing!

My card qualifies for the challenge because I used twine and an enamel dot. You still have about 24 hours to enter and you may win a free stamp set!

I used the new 5901 – Mini Rectangle Frame Dies which have an easel on the back because I thought these would be cute displayed on my fireplace mantle this fall.

The sentiments and accessories are from 5600 – Harvest Sentiments Set and 5492 – Front Porch Harvest Set.  I used two sheets of designer paper from 5838 – Fall Journal Paper Pack.

Graduation Music Matchbook with Easel Pocket by Reneé

 Hello Ai fans!

Before I get into my post for today I have an announcement.
Be sure to check back later today for a special giveaway for my upcoming 
Art Impressions 13th Anniversary!

Today I'm sharing a special request I had for a graduation card.
I often sell my cards to friends and this was a card that one of them
wanted for a student who was graduating last month.

They requested that it have this specific picture of The Who on it and that
it be music themed.

I had just received the new 5905 – Music Shop MB and 5901 – Mini Rectangle Frame Dies
and knew they would be perfect for his request. I embossed the blue paper with stars before
cutting it with the 5317 – MB Template Dies5317 – MB Template Dies.

I then embossed the same paper with music notes before cutting that out with the

frame dies. I glued the bottom shut so her could put the MB, a little note and a gift

card inside. The sentiment is from 5735 – Birthday Sentiment Set.

The frame has an easel so that it can stand up for display.

I used the 5562 – Journal Letter Die Set to add her name to the back of the MB.
