Easter Chick Slimline Card by Tasha

Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing an Easter card inspired by the Art Impressions Here Comes Peter Cottontail Challenge!

My card was created with the Hoppy Easter Stamp Set and the sweet little chick was colored with Copic Markers. I used a white gel pen to add a pattern to the egg to give an Easter egg look!

 I used a cloud stencil and Distress Oxide Ink for the sky and a grass stencil for the ground. I also used green markers to add more detail to the grass and create a shadow under the little chick. 

The greeting "Hoppy Easter!" was stamped with a light blue ink and I used green Distress Oxide Ink around the edges to bring in more color. I also added glitter paper around the sentiment and slimline card for extra sparkle!

Lastly, I added polka-dot pattern paper and little blue pearls to the sky to complete the happy card!

Thank you for checking out today's card and I hope you will join in the Ai Here Comes Peter Cottontail Challenge!

Have a great day!

Merry Christmas Penguins Slim Line Card!

Hi Ai fans! I had fun this week making a slimline card. I used the new new Slimline die set. I also used the Penguin Cheer stamp set. I stamped the image with the three penguins, the cute little running penguin, string of lights and the ornaments. I colored them in with aqua color pencils. I spread the colors out with a water brush. 

After all of images are dry I fussy cut them out. Stamped the sentiment "Merry Christmas to you and yours" I die cut the sentiment out with the smallest slimline die. 

I started with the third smallest slimline die and die cut red card stock out with it. I added the images onto the red card stock and matted it onto green card stock and then white card stock.

Happy Stamping! 

 

Coffee-Themed Birthday Card by Tasha

Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing a new slimline coffee-themed card created with the super fun Hat's Off Miss Set!

This stamp set includes several hats, but this coffee one is my favorite; I love the straw too! The image was stamped with black ink and colored with Copic Markers. This set also includes the coordinating dies making it super easy to cut the images out!

I wanted the background to be bright and unique, so I created a background with a stencil and blue Distress Oxide Inks. The sentiment was also stamped with a deep teal ink color to match the woman's outfit; I love these pretty blue shades!

To complete the card, I added layers of white and teal cardstock and a layer of mirrored paper. The mirrored paper adds a nice shine to the design! After adding all the layers, I attached the card panel to a white heavy-weight card base to complete the project.

Thank you for stopping over today and I hope you enjoyed this slimline card!

Merry & Bright Card by Tasha

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing a holiday mini slimline created with the cute Penguin Stackers stamp set!

 I stamped the penguins with black hybrid ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I wanted a winter wonderland feel and used pastel colors with pops of red and green! I also added glitter to the the little hats!

For the background I used a piece of pattern paper that looks like falling snow. To coordinate with the sky, I cut hills out of white cardstock and ink blended the edges with a light blue ink. These colors are so pretty!

The sentiment "Merry & Bright" is from the Sleigh Bells Set and I stamped it with a pretty teal blue. I used a circle punch to cut the greeting out and matted it with teal cardstock. To stick with the theme, I added a layer of mirrored silver paper and teal cardstock before attaching the card to a white card base. 

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you enjoyed this fun holiday card!

Up Up and Away

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing a new mini slimline card created with the fun #SC0649 - His & Hers Flying High Set.

All of the images were stamped with black ink and colored with Copic Markers. I used masking paper to block off the stamping before ink blending the background. This couple looks like they are having a great time flying through the air and I love the doggie stamp!

This set includes several sentiment stamps and this cool banner. I like the "Birthday Wishes" greeting and the size works great on a slimline card!

To complete the card, I added layers of yellow and blue before attaching it to a white card base. I love this cheerful card and look forward to sending it to someone special!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed today's project!

Beach Chickens Rule - Two Beachy Cards by Janet Axtman

 

It's summer and it's time to hit the beach! The new Gull Friends Set is so perfect for a fun beach theme.  First up is an A2 card featuring a group of Gull Friends showing off their attitude on the beach. The second card is a bright slimline card made into a fun birthday card.

I colored all the characters from the set using Zig Clean Color pens before cutting them out with the included dies. These characters are easy to color since the majority of the coloring is just applying gray to create shadows and dimension. 

I've got a video for you showing the coloring and construction of both cards. Check it out!

To make the first card, I started by masking off the lower part of the card panel before stamping and white heat embossing a wave background. I blended three tones of blue Distress Oxide inks over the top of this. The sand was created using two Distress Oxide inks and then I coated it with sand embossing powder. I stamped the sentiment flag in black and coated the edges with sand embossing powder before applying it to the card. The result is a super textured card in pretty beachy colors.

The slimline card was very easy to create. I started by blending "spotlights" of Distress Oxide ink across the front. I splattered it with Dylusions spray and arranged the birthday gulls and accessories across the front. I stamped the sentiment and the anchor at the bottom and flying gulls in the background. 

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a great weekend!

Happy Creating!

Home Sweet Home! Card by Tasha

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing a slimline card created with the New Hen House Cubbies set!

To create this colorful scene, I used pastel shades on the hen house and on the clouds in the background. I also ink blended a piece of paper with two shades of Distress Oxide Ink and splattered some water droplets for the grass. 

The best part of the Cubbies sets are the parts that open to allow your stamped images to pop out. This set has several windows and a large barn door that opens up. So, I decided to have all the little chicks popping out of the windows and when you open the doors, you get to see the large chicken. This set is just too fun!

Lastly, I attached the little sign with the "Home Sweet Home" sentiment and added a little chick waving hello to complete the card.

Thank you so much for checking out my project and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Nice Hat!

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing three cards showcasing the new Hats Off Mrs. Set created for the Personality Challenge!

The first card was inspired by this pretty flower hat. I matched her pajamas to the hat color and used rose pattern paper to continue with the floral theme.

The second design is a wine-themed slimline card. This wine-lover looks awesome and I'm loving the green & purple color combination!

The sentiment "Wine a little Laugh a lot" was stamped on light green paper and cut with the Ai Double Stitched Square Die Set. The layers also coordinate with the lady's outfit and I used purple glitter paper to bring in tons of sparkle!

The last card was inspired by this pretty flower petal hat! Like in the first two cards, I matched the pajamas to the petals on the hat. I think this would be the hat I would wear!

Lastly, I used the Ai Rounded Rectangle Double Stitched Die Set to cut the pink and silver layers. I also added Distress Ink to the background before I attached the card to an orange card base. 

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

To the Perfect Duet!

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing a fun new slimline card created with the Perfect Duet stamp set.

I colored the cute couple and radio images with Copic markers and used a white gel pen for the little accent details. To add to the rocker theme, I used a sunburst stencil to create a spotlight in the background. They look like they're having so much fun rocking out!

The sentiment "Happy Anniversary to the perfect duet!" was stamped in black and matted with the same paper used on the main card. To coordinate with the man's socks and top, I attached the card to a bright green card base. I love the bright colors!

Lastly, I attached some pretty yellow glittery enamel dots to complete the design.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
