Here's Tool You! Happy Father's Day by Reneé Matarese

 Hello Ai fans!

Father's Day is almost here and if you're looking for a little last minute
inspiration then look no further.

I created a fun masculine card that came together really quickly due to the
coordinating dies.  Who has time for fussy cutting?

All products will be linked below.



My step-dad and my father-in-law are both getting the same card. 

Sorry guys...I'm SO BUSY right now.

My card is for the current Panda-Monium challenge going on right now.

Use pandas or make a black and white card.

The tool bag die also cuts little slits for you to insert all of the fun tools

wherever you want them.

To all the dads, fur-baby dads, grandpas, uncles, moms and grandmas and aunts who are also "dad"...have a wonderful day this Sunday!

New Mushroom Cubbies and Matchbook Tool Shed by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

Did you see the new releases last week on the Art Impressions website??
I was like a kid on Christmas morning when I saw this set!
It's called 5728 – Mushroom Cubbies.

You can see all of the Critter Cubbies here...

I stamped the verse on a die from 5132 – Tag Stitched Dies.
The mattes were cut from 5063 – Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies.

The Cubbies are an interactive series.  They all have
doors and windows that open to reveal hidden treasures!
I'll pause for a moment here, while you take a moment to giggle 

over that fabulous little bee butt...lol!

My next card also uses a new release.

This time I used 5729 – Tool Shed MB.
This is from the Matchbook Series.

If you've never seen the Matchbooks before, you need to 

begin here.  5317 – MB Template Dies  This is the template that ALL 

Matchbooks go into.  There's also a tiny little 5318 – MB Envelope Dies
that I'll be sharing next week.

I hope you're all enjoying the new releases as much as I am.
Happy crafting and I'll see you next week.

Here's Tool You Cards by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing three new cards created with the new 5729 - Tool Shed MB! I am a big fan of the Ai matchbook sets and I'm so excited for this tool shed theme! 

My first card has a red and teal color combination and I used paper from the 5606-Harvest Journal Paper Pack for the card base. I thought this pattern went well with the tool shed theme and I love the color! There is just so much detail in these little cards, it's amazing!

For the second card I made the base out of wood pattern paper to make it look like a shed. Since the wood background is dark gray, I colored the tools with bright colors to allow them to pop. I love the bright green, blue, and yellow colors! 

The third card is my favorite! I made a girly themed tool shed, because girls are handy too! The base was created with pink plaid paper from the 5606-Harvest Journal Paper Pack, this paper collection is fabulous! I also attached a wood pattern paper to the floor to separate it from the walls. I would totally have these colors if I had a tool shed!

I hope you enjoyed today's projects and are inspired to create a matchbook card with the new 5729 - Tool Shed MB!

Have a wonderful day!
