Batty for you by Sharon Caudle

Hello AI Fans!!

Are you starting to feel a little bit of the September chill in the air?  Maybe you're starting to get the urge to bake something with pumpkin spice? I love fall season and everything that comes with it. This is my first Halloween card this year, and I had to make it using 5031 Bat Flutter Set! These cards are pretty quick and easy to put together. And when you pull and push the tab, his wings flutter up and down!  I stamped the images onto Cryogen White cardstock and then colored them up with my Copic markers.  The set comes with dies to cut the pieces out perfectly and also cuts the holes you need to make the Flutter work. All the directions are on the back of the stamp set for your convenience.

What a bird brain by Sharon Caudle

Hello AI Fans! 

Do you love plain and simple cards?  It doesn't get much simpler than this one!!  I used a scalloped circle die to make the card base, then used AI Double Stitched Circle Dies to make the layers. The stamp is from Spring Chicken Set and I colored her with Copic markers.

Lookin' Sharp by Sharon

Hello AI Fans!!

Oh my gosh, I am totally in love with #5112 Hedgehogs Set!!!  This little cutie pie is just too precious with his pokey quills popping his balloon! This set is now available over at Art Impressions! I used the Banner Double Stitched Dies to make a very easy shaped card to feature this adorable hedgehog! I simply layered up the two largest sizes and then trimmed a mat for the pattern paper with my scissors.

Pig Flutter by Sharon Caudle

Hello AI Fans!!

Today I've got another Flutter card to show you that I created for summer CHA for Art Impressions. For this one, I created a barn shaped card using my Silhouette. I think it turned out to be really fun! This is 4975 Pig Flutter Set. Don't forget to pick up some extra brads so you can make lots of cards!!  I positioned the Wish Big sentiment so it shows through the upper barn window.  I didn't want my pig to be plain on this card, so I used my Copic multiliner pen to draw some spots on him. Let me know what you think!! 

Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit and hope you have a wonderful weekend and fabulous Memorial Day!

Bells Ring Set by Sharon Caudle

Hello AI Fans!!

 

 

Happy Weekend and can you believe it's the first of October already? Wow!! Have you seen all the awesome new Shaker Sets that Art Impressions just released? So CUTE and FUN!!! Today I'm featuring the adorable Bells Ring Set! This is just the cutest snowman I think I've ever seen!! And to add another layer of cuteness, I added jingle bells to his little behiney. Could he be any more adorable?

 

 

When I'm using bright colors, I like to shade my white with blue. When I'm using more muted tones in my card, I then turn to my Copic Toner grays to shade the white.  

 

 

 

And a little wonky look at the shaker

 

 

And a little video so you can see and hear him in action!

Tickled Pink by Sharon Caudle

Hello AI Fans!!

 

So are you busy coloring Easter Eggs? Or are you like me and eating all the yummy chocolate and jelly beans?  LOL!  I wanted to show you a fun card I made featuring the Mini Front & Backs from Art Impressions! This one is Elephant & Pig Set #4505.  I couldn't believe how quick and easy this card came together! It's a Silhouette cut file and I added a couple windows for the pigs to peek out of.
