Merry Christmas in July! Card by Tasha

 Happy Friday, Art Impressions friends! 

Tasha here sharing a card inspired by the current Art Impressions Christmas in July Challenge.

I love making holiday cards and finding ways to use my everyday stamp sets for Christmas. For this card, I used the piggy from the 5180-Barnyard Animal Cubbies stamp set and added a little Santa hat to make him holiday ready.

For the background scene, I used a stamp from the retired Sleigh Ride Circlet MTF set. I love the little wreath on the tree and the falling snow. It makes such a sweet winter scene.

I finished the card with pattern paper from the 6143-Woodland Christmas Paper Pack, layered it with red, gray, and white cardstock, and added a simple "Peace, Love & Joy" sentiment.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope this card inspires you to give your non-holiday stamps a festive twist and join the Christmas in July Challenge.

Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing a card created with the cute #5180 Ai Barnyard Animals Cubbies Stamp Set! I'm from Wisconsin and we have tons of farms here, so I could not wait to make a card using all these sweet barnyard animals!

All the images were stamped with black hybrid ink and colored with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut the barn and little animals out. I love all the windows and think it's so cool that the barn doors open!

The sky was created by ink blending dark yellow and orange on to yellow paper with a sunburst stencil. The sun rays look awesome behind the barn! I also added distress ink on top of the grass to allow the stitched edges to show up more. 

After I decided on the placement, I glued all the animals on to the center card. The ones hanging out of the windows are taped down making it easy to keep them in the right place. I also added a fence on each side of the barn for more detail.

Lastly, I stamped the sentiment "Hay There" with the same black ink and added two paper layers before adhering it to a white card base. This little scene is so happy and would be great to send to anyone, anytime of the year! 

Thanks for checking out my card and I hope you have a great day!

Quivery Quakey by Diane Zechman

Hello Ai friends and happy Thursday!

 

Halloween will soon be here and I wanted to share a project with one of my favorite sets of the Ai new releases. Today I am sharing a card using the new Quivery Mini Shaker set (4793) which includes matching dies!

 

 

How cute are these trick-or-treaters?

 

The image was cut out by hand but the bats, pumpkin, and pig & duck bodies are die cut.  The pig and duck are raised with a Mini Action Wobble for extra fun.

 

 

Have a great day and… happy stamping!
