hugs by Diane Zechman

Hello Ai friends and happy Monday!

 

Today I am sharing another card using one of the Ai Valentine sets… but once again it isn't for a valentine! Here I used 4363- Tweetheart Set. I'm sure we can all think of someone who could use a hug!

 

I wanted my cute bird to be yellow so I found some old papers to match. Then I only inked the word Hugs from the sentiment stamp.

 

There is a separate stamp for the top of the bird and it was mounted on a Mini Action Wobble. The Ai Shakers are so much fun!

 

Have a great Monday and… happy stamping!

 

sending hugs through the mail Art Impressions style!

Hello AI Fans!! 

Just a really quick card from me today showing off the adorable 4363 Tweetheart Set from the Shakers line at Art Impressions. I just love this image to send someone a hug through the mail.  The top half of her is on a mini wobble. Too precious! 

And in this next pic, you can see the mini wobble. 

Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit today, and hope you have some time this weekend to get crafty!

for my Tweetheart

hello AI Fans!! 

Today I've got a "tweet" little card I made using the oh so adorable #4363 Tweetheart Set! Isn't she so fun?! She's listed under Valentine Stamps in the store, but she's so versatile! You can use her anytime you want to send someone a hug. The set has two stamps, the full body and then the upper half that you pop up on an Action Wobble. It even comes with an Action Wobble to get you started!  

Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit today and hope you have some time this weekend to get crafty!

Hugs for my Tweetheart by Dana Warren

Hello AI fans!!

It's getting close to Valentine's day! Send your special someone a card featuring an Art Impressions Valentine Action Wobble card, there are four great wobble sets: Tweetheart Set, Has Hugz Set, Bear Hug Set and Main Squeeze Set.

My card features the Tweetheart set, isn't it soo cute?!?! I started by die cutting a circle from watercolor cardstock and then stamping the full image. On a piece of scrap watercolor card stock, I stamped the small image that will be going on the wobble. With my Distress Markers I colored both images, I used: Fired Brick, Carved Pumpkin, Spiced Marmalade, Ground Espresso.

Then I fussy cut out the smaller image and attached it to the bigger image with an action wobble. I found in my stash some cute love birds pattern paper and I added it to a white card base. From the same paper pad, I used a banner die a few times along with one made from the water color card stock. 

I added the circle with the wobble to the card base and below added a few banners. For the sentiment, I stamped it on the watercolor banner and added it to the card with foam tape.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Happy Stamping!!

Tweetheart by Marie-Pierre

Hello Ai fans!

I really got into this little bird as I was working on the Valentines for my daughter's classmates this February and I made a couple more cards with him because I feel like he's not only made for Valentine's Day, but also for a friend or a loved one who could need a hug. :)
