1 Sketch 10 Cards with Stackers | By Jessica Shier

Hello Ai Fans!

It's Jessica today and I have a card sketch to share with you. If you didn't see the challenge for the next couple of weeks, make sure to head over and check out the information. Art Impressions is partnering with Scrapbook.com for Cards for Kindness! I created a simple card sketch, to create a lot of 10 cards to send in.

You can find the card sketch down below. I hope it inspires you to create your own lot of cards to send in! I started with stamping all of the Art Impressions Stackers ( the ones I have... so far) with Gina K. Designs Amalgam ink, on Neenah Solar White 80lb cardstock. There a quite a few designs in this category and the ones I'll be using are the; Turtle, Duck and Dog Stackers. 

For the most part I colored all the turtles the same, along with the dogs and ducks. Except for one stack of ducks. I thought it would be fun to have some gray colored ducks on a rainbow background. So that is the exclusion from the rest. I'll have the list of markers down below for the different combinations I used. To make this easier on me, I did repeat quite a few markers, while coloring all the critters. 

Here is the card sketch that I came up with. Please feel free to use and share.

For a few of the cards I mixed up some shapes using a few Art Impressions dies like the large banner and rounded rectangle.

I also used Tombow markers on a few. The diagonal watercolor line is easy to do with masking tape on watercolor paper.

A couple of my favorites are the rainbow card stock striped backgrounds with the gold watercolor paint splatter. I love a little planned splatter on backgrounds and I used anything from paint to sequins.

I do have to say it was fantastic practice coloring the same images multiple times. Plus playing with different color combinations and textures always puts a smile on my face. Like revisiting the basics. 

Thank you so much for joining me today. Happy Stamping!

Hope Your Birthday Stacks up to be Wonderful by Crystal

Hi Ai fans! 

I have two cards to share today using the Turtle stackers stamp set along with the Slider die.

I made both cards the same but used different patterns of paper.

I stamped the sentiment "HOPE YOUR BIRTHDAY STACKS UP TO BE WONDERFUL" on the top of the card stock that could be pulled out. 

I die cut a circle toward the bottom of the strip of card stock so one of the turtles faces showed through.

When you pull the card stock out you can then see the whole stack of turtles.

Spectrum Noir Markers: 

DG1, DG2, DG3, GB1, GB3, GB5, EB1, EB2, EB3

Paper- Cute Girl-Crate Paper

Happy Stamping!

Turtle Stacker!

Hi Ai Fans!

Today I am sharing with you a card I made using the Turtle Stackers and Slider die from Art Impressions! I love this cute concept as it sure adds a fun interactive element to your cards!

I thought this paper from the Bo Bunny Family Is collection was perfect to use with the greens in the turtles! The sentiment comes with the Turtle Stackers stamp so it's a perfect match to your stacker!

For this stacker I decided to cut a circle in the top of the sliding portion for a little sneak preview.

It's super easy to make these stacker cards with the Slider die! It does all the work for you!

On the inside I added the Ai sentiment called "What a Feelin"

Copics Used:

Turtle Body: YG01, YG03, YG05, R11

Turtle Shell: E00, E11, E13, E15, E17, E18

Ground & Outline: W0, W1 / B000

Thanks for stopping by

Happy Stamping!

Birthday Stacks by Dana Warren

Hello AI fans!!

Dana, here with a card featuring the new Turtle Stackers and Slider Die! These turtles are so cute and are perfect for any turtle lover out there!! For my card I made it appropriate for a younger boy!

I started with some pattern papers from Elle's Studio - Cameron Collection and used the Slider Die to cut some star paper. On white card stock I stamped the stack of turtles and colored them with my Spectrum Noir Markers. I used CG2, DG2, DG3, GB4, GB6, OR1.

I trimmed the turtles and made a little cover up, then adhered the slider around the turtles. Next I trimmed some pattern paper to fit a chard base. I cut a white circle die and then stamped the matching sentiment.

I added the slider to my card with adhesive and then added the sentiment circle with foam tape. From the Elle's Studio Cameron collection I added a Thumbs Up sentiment circle. Last I added a couple colorful buttons.

These Stackers so adorable and if you haven't tried these yet I hope this encourages you to give them a chance!! Happy Stamping!!
