CASE that card Challenge #398

Hello AI Fans! 

Welcome to our CASE that card challenge!

We want you to show us your cards that were inspired by someone else.
This can be someone from either of our Design Teams, someone from a fan group, or just someone that you saw online. The card you CASE (it stands for Copy And Steal Everything) doesn't have to be an Art Impressions card. You can just use Art Impressions stamps and/or dies to show how to recreate the card you loved. Be sure to give credit to the original artist whenever possible and try to share a photo of their card along with yours.

For example, Sharon's card was inspired by Kelly Latevola, and Sharon used her idea, along with Art Impressions stamps and dies to create something similar. We hope you all like this idea.  Before we see Sharon's AMAZING creation, let's see who won our Drink Up challenge.

For our Top Spot we selected Consuelo G.

She used 5222 – Coffee Gift Card Holder which is no longer available, but we have an alternative that you'll probably love just as much and it's on sale right now! 5343 – Java GCH Set.

Congratulations to you both. Your cards were so pretty.
Enjoy your new stamps.

Now let's see what Sharon has in store for you for her Feature. You are going to be blown away by her incredible puzzle card. I've never seen one of these but I'm instantly in love!

Now, here's Sharon! 

I'm so excited to get to show you our brand new challenge that's starting today, CASE that card! Here's a link to the adorable card I CASE'd by Kelly Latevola. I just loved her card and I couldn't wait to recreate it.  Now I did use a lot more stamps than she did, and it got a little tricky getting them stamped on all the layers correctly. But it only took me a couple tries and I just think it turned out so cute that I believe it was definitely worth it!  Here's a picture of the card with the puzzle solved...




And then here's a picture of it jumbled up the way you would send it. The top two layers spin really easily and the recipient has to match up the layers to see the finished card. Isn't that so fun??!!





You start by cutting out three or more (you can do as many as you want - but it adds a lot of work!) layers with your circle dies. You need to find the center of them, so the easiest way is to cut the same circle in a piece of light weight paper like typing paper. I folded it in half, then folded in half again. When you unfold it, you can line it up with your cardstock circle and punch a hole right through the center. Once all your holes are punched in the center, I took my paper piercer and put it through each center hole lining them up. Gripping them tight so they wouldn't move, I slid them off the paper piercer and onto my Misti.  I'm sorry, but you have to have a Misti or some type of stamp platform as you need to restamp each layer in the same spot. So I positioned the stamp, stamped it with all three layers of the panels in place, then carefully making sure nothing moves, remove the top layer, ink up your stamp and stamp it again. Then repeat for the 3rd layer. The really important part is to make sure the remaining layers don't move so it stamps again in the exact same spot. Continue until you have all the layers stamped the way you want. 



This is how it looks once all three layers are stamped. Next step is coloring them. 


Once I colored all three layers, I grabbed the new Basic Green Paper Pack! I love these new packs of paper!!! I used a mini white brad to connect the three panels.  Make sure you put something under the tines of the brad when you spread them so they're not too tight. You want to be able to spin the top two panels easily to work the puzzle. Now it's time to assemble. 




I matted the puzzle with a larger green panel cut from a die from my stash to help it stand out from the background. And I do love dimension, so I doubled up on the mounting tape on the under side. 



I created the card base and then added the puzzle on top. Of course I had to add a bow and a few drops from a gold pearl pen and it was finished!  So once again, a picture of the card front jumbled up...


And then how it looks once the recipient solves the puzzle. :)  

I hope you enjoyed my interactive card today and that you choose to enter the "Case That Card" challenge for a chance to win a free set of your choice!! Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit today and until next time - stay crafty!

Hello AI Fans!    

I'm so excited to show you a card I made for the Masculine Masterpieces challenge. I have a nephew that absolutely LOVES trains, so this was made in honor of him! I love this new set #5929 Christmas Train Set from Art Impressions, and it's just so festive!! Ever since I saw it, I knew I wanted to make it into a slider card so I got to work! I actually used a die set from My Favorite Things called Movin & Groovin Slimline Set. You want to hold on cause it's going to be a bumpy ride! LOL! I thought it would be the perfect slider set to use with a train! So instead of moving across the card smoothly, it looks like it's going clickety clack! I started by stamping all the pieces onto a Copic friendly paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then coloring them with Copic markers which are listed below. One of the issues I have with slimline cards is that you can't use 6" papers. But guess what!!!  The new Art Impressions Cover papers are PERFECT for slimline cards!!  So I grabbed #5964 Winter Woodland Cover Paper Pack for the background. I created a couple snowy ground coverings by tearing my white paper. I glued one piece to the pattern paper background and then cut the slider channel out of it. The top piece was popped up and is used to cover the slider channel.




The Movin & Groovin slide channel


In order to move through the bumpy slide channel, the image has to be attached to a certain piece on the pull tab. Therefore, I could only attach the engine to the pull tab, not both cars. I had to connect the second train car to the engine so it would move as well, so I grabbed some acetate to connect the two cars. 


A Christmas train just isn't a Christmas train without glitter. Would you agree?? Here are all those adorable penguins all colored up as well! So adorable!!


 

And  a picture of the final card. I added some trees from a die in my stash and added some Stickles to them as well. 



Here's a little video that shows you how it works. I love how it turned out! 



Thank you so much for stopping by for a visit today, and I can't wait to see what you create for the new Masculine Masterpieces challenge!  Until next time - stay crafty!!

Art Impressions Santa's Workshop interactive card by Sharon Caudle

 Hello AI fans!!

I hope you're having a good start to your week and that you enjoyed the weekend. I can't believe it's the last week in October and that Thanksgiving is right around the corner. Goodness, the year is just flying by! Art Impressions has had a few new releases recently, and last week they showed some beautiful new Christmas stamp sets! One of them, #5930 Santa's Workshop Set, is featured on my card today. I really wanted to make this be an interactive card and have Santa pop up from behind a snow bank to surprise all the busy elves! It took a little bit of work, but I was able to pull it off using the Lawn Fawn Let's Toast Pull Tab Add on.  I stamped all the images onto a Copic friendly paper and then die cut them with the included dies in the set. That little sign hanging on the lamp post came from 5488 Front Porch Easter Set! So don't forget to look through all your sets to find something fun to use. 





When you pull up on the tab, Santa pops out from behind the snow bank to say a big hello!! 




This was such a fun card to make. It did take a lot of hours to contruct it, but I thought the end result was definitely worth it. Thank you so much for stopping by for a visit today, and until next time - stay crafty!!

Who can wish you the happiest of birthdays? by Sharon Caudle

 Hello AI Fans!

Oh my gosh, I can't believe we are already half way through September already!! You've got a couple more days to join our challenge Not Just Paper!  My card fits right in with that challenge. I used the awesome 5399 Gull-Friends Set. This set is so much fun, and the images fit perfectly into the Lawn Fawn Magic Picture Changer die set. Just pull up the tab and the picture magically changes. I was inspired by Design Team sister and bestie Dori Mendiola. You can see her card HERE.  















That's it for me today! Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit! Until next time - stay crafty!!
