Have a Magical Day Card by Tasha!

Happy Friday Friends!

Tasha here sharing a card inspired by the current Ai Challenge. The theme is Magical Creatures and I thought it was the perfect time to create with the new 5915 - Woodland Fairies Set!

I love fairies and when looking at the images included in this set, I just couldn't decide on which fairy to use, so I selected three for this card. To make a little scene, I stamped a bench and covered it with masking paper before stamping the fairy in the back. I just love masking!

Since I wanted it to look like the other two fairies were sitting on the bench, I used the included coordinating die set to cut them out and attached them to the card with foam tape. Don't they look so adorable, I love the little wings!

For the background, I used a cloud and grass stencil to make the ground and sky. I also used two Ai grass stamps to add more detail to the ground and attached several enamel flowers for extra color. 

Lastly, I attached silver paper, purple card stock, and a fun star pattern paper to complete the card. I hope you enjoyed today's project and will join in the Magical Creatures Challenge!

 

Hello Summer Card by Tasha!

Happy Friday!

Tasha here sharing a new Summer card featuring the super cute 5903-Treasured Armful Set. This mermaid has quickly become my new go to stamp for the Summer and I just love coloring her pretty hair!

For this card, I decided to make an underwater scene and layered seashells and sea plants to frame the mermaid. I wanted to use pink on this card and thought the long blonde hair looked great with all the pink colors used on the mermaid's tail and her treasure chest; I love the color pink!

Lastly, I glued on the word "Hello" and attached gold glitter paper, pink card stock, and a coordinating seashell pattern paper. I also attached several shell embellishments and a made a textured floor to make it look like the bottom of the ocean. I think she looks happy with her treasures!

I hope you enjoyed today's card and are having a wonderful day!

For The Birthday Girl Card by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing a new card inspired by the Ai Midnight Snack Challenge! For my card I'm featuring the super cute hippo stamp from the 5400 - Baby Critters Set. I just love this adorable hippo!

To create the little scene, I started by stamping the hippo image and coloring her with markers. I wanted this card to be bright and cheerful, so I used a variety of pink and yellow colors. She looks so happy sitting on the green grass with her pretty pink cupcake!

Lastly, I stamped "To The Birthday Girl" greeting from the 5735 - Birthday Sentiment Set and attached white enamel dots for some dimension. I also added layers of glitter paper, polka dot pattern paper, and shimmery gold and pink card stock to complete the design.

Thank you for checking out today's project and I hope you will join in the Challenge!

 

Happy St. Patrick's Day Card by Tasha!

 Happy St. Patrick's Day Ai Friends!

Tasha here sharing a new Spring card featuring the 5425-WC Peeking Animals and 5006 – Sham-rock Set! I love the Ai animal sets and this little bunny image is too cute!

For this card, I started by stamping the bunny image with black ink and used masking paper to cover him before stamping the pot of gold and shamrock. I used Copic Markers for the coloring and a white gel pen to add little accents. The bunny is the perfect size for layering on top of the gold coins; he is one lucky bunny!

After stamping, I masked off the shamrock and pot of gold before stenciling the background. I made my own cloud stencil with a cloud die and used light Distress Oxide ink to create the rainbow. I like that you can still see the clouds under the rainbow colors,

For the greeting I stamped "Happy St. Patrick's Day!" with green ink and layered it with gold glitter paper. The 5006 – Sham-rock Set includes several sentiments, but I think this one worked great!

Lastly, I added green grass, fun shamrock themed pattern paper, and a little green gem to complete the design. I had so much fun creating this card and hope you are inspired to make a fun Spring or St. Patrick's Day card!

Have a great day!

Happy Little Moments Card by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing a new card inspired by the Ai Windows to the World Challenge #343. This card was created with the super cute 5349 - Koala Set and 4619 - Window Die. I love that this window opens!

To make the card more colorful, I cut the window out of bright orange pattern paper and added layers of orange, yellow, and blue glitter paper. I also attached a gray wood pattern paper. I thought the gray went great with the koala and I like how these colors look together!

To complete the design, I colored the background with yellow and blue markers and attached several white enamel dots. This card is so cheerful and the little koala makes me smile; he just looks so happy!

I hope you enjoyed today's card and will join in the Ai Windows to the World Challenge #343

Trick or Treat Shaker Card by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Ai Friends!

Tasha here sharing a Halloween shaker card created with the cute 5506-Peek-a-Boo Set!

This set has quickly become a new Fall favorite and I love the little witch image! I stamped her with black ink and used Copic Markers for the coloring. I think she looks so sweet with her little outfit and pumpkin bucket; she is ready to get some candy!

The greeting "Happy Halloween" is included in the set and was also stamped with black ink. This black & white sentiment looks great with all the colors and patterns used throughout the card!

Lastly, I embossed a leaf design on the shaker background and ink blended with Distress Oxide Ink. I added sequins in Halloween/Fall colors and attached a festive polka dot frame. I also added layers of glitter paper, black card stock, purple card stock, and a colorful polka dot paper to complete the card.

Thank you for checking out today's Fall project and I hope you are inspired to create a Halloween shaker card with the new 5506-Peek-a-Boo Set!

Treat Yourself MB Card by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing a card created with the awesome 5497-MB Diner Set! I think the Matchbook sets are so cool and I was super excited that Ai created a 1950's diner themed one!

I used the 5317-MB Template Dies to make the base and windows. This template works with all the MB sets and includes x2 window designs to customize your scene. 

To go with the diner theme, I used colors that reminded me of the 1950's. The teal and light pink look great together and the background pattern paper has a wallpaper feel. I also added a checkered floor that totally looks retro!

Lastly, I added the "Treat Yourself" to the front of the card and attached the and ice-cream sign and phone image. Everything fits perfectly into this tiny space, it's just amazing!

I hope you are inspired to create a card with the 5497-MB Diner Set!

Have a great weekend!

Just Roll With It Birthday Card by Tasha

Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing a birthday card created with the super fun 5186-Enjoy the Ride Set from Art Impressions!

The bike image was stamped with black ink and colored with Copic Markers. The set includes several extra accessory stamps, so I added the balloons to the back to go with the birthday theme. I love that this is optional to allow you to customize the bike for year-round cards!

For the background, I used a cloud stencil and blue Distress Oxide ink to add fluffy clouds to the sky. I also used a grass stencil across the bottom and Copic Markers to add more little grass around the bike.

The sentiment "it's your Birthday, just Roll With it" was stamped with orange ink and cut with a tiny banner die. Blue and orange always look great together and I like the unique banner shape on this design!

Lastly, I attached layers of textured orange paper, silver glitter paper, and blue card stock before attaching the card to a white card base. I think this design is cheerful and will make someone smile on their birthday!

I hope you enjoyed today's card and are having a wonderful day!

Happy Vibes Card by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing a new card featuring the fun 5458-Llama Set and 5187- Happy Trails Set!

I started by stamping the little llama image and colored her with markers. I love this stamp set, but hadn't used this little stamp yet. This stamp is small, but so cute! 

To create the scene, I stenciled a bright orange spotlight and colored a ocean-themed background with markers. I also added a palm tree from the 5187- Happy Trails Set! It's fun to mix and match your sets and think of new ways to use your stamps!

Lastly, I stamped "Happy Little Moments" in a coordinating orange ink before attaching layers of orange, blue and blue marble paper. These colors are so warm and this card just makes me smile!

I hope you enjoyed today's project and are having wonderful day!

New Release Front Porch Garden Card by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing a Spring card created with the New Ai Front Porch Garden and Front Porch Door Sets!

The Front Door image was colored with Copic Markers and I used a brick stencil to resemble a brick home. This door will be so fun to decorate for all the seasons and you can change the house and flower colors to make the home personalized. I also colored in the windows to look like the home had lights on inside. This cool set also includes coordinating dies to cut out the images and open the door.

Ai released several themed stamp sets that coordinate with the Front Porch Door. I used the new Front Porch Garden on my project. I love the tulips in the watering can and the hanging basket with the floral arrangement!

Lastly, I added the greeting "Have a Blessed Day" to a stenciled grass background. This sentiment is great for Spring, but can be used year-round. I also added the "In my Garden" sign to the door to complete the card. I know several people who love to garden and I had them in mind when I was making this card.

I hope you enjoyed a peek at the New Ai Front Porch Garden and Front Porch Door Sets. All the sets are available now and are so much to create with!

Have a great day!
