I'm here for the BOOOS! by Sharon Caudle

Hello AI Fans!!

So are you getting ready for Halloween?? My card today features 4784 Old Bat Set. I think a lot of us could relate to this one. LOL! The sentiment is pure genius! If you have a bar area in your house, it would make the cutest plaque, don't you think??

Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit and until next time - stay crafty!

Old Bat wine tag by Diane Zechman

Hello Ai friends and happy Monday!
 

Today I am sharing a project using one of my favorite Ai sets- 4784- Old Bat Set.  If you like cute Halloween images, this set is a must-have!  Here I used it to make a decorative gift tag on a bottle of wine for a friend.  (Did you also see Renee's tag and wine cork pumpkin that she posted earlier?)

 

I am planning to surprise my friend who loves Halloween with this...she is always doing things for others so I think a little RAK is in order. :)

 

I started with a 2 1/4 x 7 3/4 piece of cardstock and scored it @ 2 1/4. The top corners were punched with a corner rounder after punching a 1 3/8" hole in the center.  I colored her with Copics and popped her & the sentiment on foam dimensionals. I saved the circle that was punched from the top and used it to "spotlight" the glass in her hand.

I haven't tried the wine yet, but I've heard it was good. At least it has a cute label!  lol.

Have a great Monday and… happy stamping!

Halloween mansion with tea light by Diane Zechman

Hello Ai friends and happy Monday!

 

Today I am sharing a Halloween card using the Ai 4926- Holiday Mansion Set, 4927- HM Accessory Set, and 4784- Old Bat Set (for the moon!).

When we were making samples of the new releases for display at the trade show, I was asked if I could make a Halloween version of the mansion in an easel type card with a battery operated tea light behind it.  What a fun challenge!

 

Since the mansion is quite tall, I kept the normal size of the card (4 1/4 x 5 1/2).  To create the base for it to sit on, I added a piece of 4 1/4 x 9 inch cardstock, scored at 5 1/2.  The 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 section of this piece was layered onto the card back (I just doubled the thickness of it).  The smaller section folds to the inside when closed and has the die cut wooden boards image popped up to hold the card front when the card is opened.

To create tinted windows and an eerie glow inside, I sponged purple ink onto both sides of a piece of vellum.  The windows and doors of the mansion were diecut and then it was held in place on the front with temporary tape so the openings could be traced. Once it was removed, the dies were lined up and cut a second time through the front layers.  The vellum was adhered to the back of the mansion and then the mansion was lined back up to the diecut openings on the card base.

Smaller elements from the 4927- HM Accessory Set were added and the moon is from the 4784- Old Bat Set.  Additional images and a sentiment were placed on the inside, along with the tea light.

Have a great Monday and… happy stamping!

Hey, diddle, diddle by Diane Zechman

Hello Ai friends and happy Monday!

 

Today I am sharing a card using the AiCS39 – Udderly Fantastic Set from the Funny Farm line.  The old Mother Goose nursery rhyme, "Hey, diddle, diddle," popped in my mind when I looked at this cow the other day.  So, I paired it with the moon image from the 4784 – Old Bat Set and a sentiment from 4852 – Welcome Little One MTF.  Voila... a baby card!

 



I added a little Clear Wink of Stella to the balloons, moon, and waistband of the tutu to add a bit of sparkle.  The clouds were popped up with dimensionals.

 

It's fun to look at your stamps and think a bit outside of the box to find ways to stretch your collection and use them creatively.  Take a fresh look at your stamps and see how you can use them in different ways!

 

Have a great Monday and… happy stamping!
