Pretty In Pink Birthday Card by Tasha

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing a mini birthday card created with the 4980-Birthday Circlet MTF Set! This set is fantastic and it's currently on Sale; Yay!!!

I followed the instructions included with the set and stamped all the images with black ink. This set includes coordinating dies to cut out the front and middle sections. There is just so much detail and I love how all the layers work together to create this colorful design!

To decorate the top panel more, I cut a piece of pink polka-dot pattern paper and added a scalloped frame. I also added several glitter enamel dots for extra sparkle and shine, so pretty!

The second layer has the main cake image with sun rays and balloons in the background. I could have left this panel plain white, but thought I would bring in a little more color by adding a soft pink paper. I also matched the top panel by using the same frame around the stamped image.

The last panel has the Happy Birthday greeting and a circular sentiment. All the gifts and confetti looks so festive and these bright colors are so cheerful!

Thank you for checking out my mini birthday card and I hope you are inspired to make a card using the fun  4980-Birthday Circlet MTF Set! 

Have a wonderful day!

Happy Thanksgiving Tri-fold Card by Crystal

Hi Ai fans!

One more week till Thanksgiving so I thought I would play with this Thanksgiving Circlet stamp set.

What is your one favorite food for thanksgiving?
Mine is pumpkin pie and stuffing. I gave up gluten right after Christmas last year so this is my first Thanksgiving with not being able to eat the stuffing. No way will I skip the pie I will just eat the filling and skip the crust. 

I made this circlet card different then I normally do I usually trim a piece of 8 1/2" X 11" card stock down and score to form a tri-fold card base. This time I glued two 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" card bases together to make a tri-fold card base. I used the largest double stitched rectangle die to die cut pattern paper out to adhere to the card base. I die cut the stamped images out with a double stitched circle then layered it onto the pattern paper and die cut the openings out.

As a last little detail I add a piece of twine to the side on the front wrapping it around twice and tying a bow on the front. 

The sentiment inside " May your home be filled with love and your heart with thanksgiving"

Furry Friends by Crystal

Hi Ai fans!

We started to foster puppies a few months ago and now all I can think of is puppies. So I had to play with this stamp set Paws to Love. 

I started with a 8.5" X 11" piece of card stock and cut it down to 8 1/2" X 4 1/4" scoring the long side twice to have two even folds. I stamped all of the images on to smooth card stock with Memento black ink. Once I had all of the images colored in I die cut the centers of the top two images out with the coordinating die that comes in the stamp set.    

I trimmed pattern paper down to fit on the front and the first inside panel of the tri-fold card. 

The puppy and kitty on the inside of the card is so cute all snuggled up together.

MTF bookmark by Diane Zechman

Hello Ai friends and happy Thursday!

 

Today I am sharing a project using one of the new Art Impressions Mini TryFolds… 4853 – Pamper Your-Shelf MTF.

 

This set is created to make a trifold card and includes two dies to cut out the openings in the two layers of the tri-fold, allowing for a sneak peek of the images inside. Instead of making a trifold card, this time I wanted to try something a little different. I've been wanting to make a cute bookmark with this set...it is just perfect for one!

 

To avoid extra layers that I would normally have by die cutting the inside of the shelf for the mouse to peek through, the middle image was omitted.  I stamped and reverse masked the shelf, then stamped the mouse inside.

 

After my image was layered how I wanted it, I slipped it into a plastic bookmark sleeve.  Some paper flowers and ribbons finished it off.

 

A bonus for using double sided patterned papers is that your back side looks pretty too!

Have a great day and… happy stamping!

homemade happiness by Diane Zechman

Hello Ai friends and happy Thursday!

Today I am sharing a card using another one of the new Art Impressions Mini TryFolds... this one is 4854 – Homemade Happiness MTF.  This set is perfect for anyone who likes to cook!

The set includes two dies to cut the openings in the two layers of the tri-fold card.  The largest image (the cupboard here) goes on the outside of the card.

Instead of the first die cutting an opening completely away, this one has 2 perforated lines so the doors can be opened and closed!  When open, you get a peek of the images inside.

When the first fold is opened, it reveals the inside of the cupboard.

When the second fold is opened, you see the sweet little mouse sleeping in a measuring cup.

Too cute!

Have a great day and… happy stamping!
