Halloween Night Card by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Ai Friends!

Tasha here sharing a Halloween card featuring the new 5934 - Spooky Crew Set. This set has the cutest characters and I just love this little mouse!

To create this card, I started by stamping and coloring the little mouse and witch hat. I used the included coordinating dies to cut the images out and attached the hat with liquid adhesive. Doesn't this mouse look so cheerful in his pumpkin? I think he is adorable!

 

For the little scene, I punched out a moon and several stars out of glowing paper and attached a dark green grass for the ground. To give the grass a Fall look, I ink blended with a brown color to darken the green more and love how this color turned out.

For the paper, I decided to go with traditional Halloween colors and attached purple, orange, and black card stock layers. I also added a piece of fun pumpkin pattern paper to coordinate with the main image. I think these colors frame the center card perfectly!

Lastly, I embossed "Happy Halloween" with white and attached the card to a black card base. 

I hope you are inspired to create a Halloween project using the new 5934 - Spooky Crew Set and are having a wonderful day!

Mousey Christmas Greetings Card by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing a new holiday card inspired by the #361 Christmas Came Early Challenge. For my project I'm featuring the cute 5564 - Mousey Christmas Set and the new 5782 - Snowflake Frame Die. 

To create this card, I started by stamping the happy little mouse and coloring him with Copic Markers. I selected traditional Red & Green colors and added glitter to the fur areas of the coat and hat; the glitter is so pretty! I also used the included coordinating die set to cut the mouse out.

After coloring the mouse, I used the new 5782 - Snowflake Frame Die and cut a frame from gray card stock. To coordinate with the gray, I added a piece of winter-themed pattern paper. I love the way this snowy scene looks!

The greeting "Seasons Greetings" is from the 5566 - Christmas Sentiments Set and fits perfectly on the edge of the frame. I thought embossing on black would allow the sentiment to stand out against the gray and white colors; the white just pops! Embossing is just so cool!

Lastly, I added silver glitter paper, Christmas themed pattern paper, and three sheets of card stock to complete the card. This card was so much fun to make and I think this little mouse is just the cutest stamp to use on holiday projects!

Thank you for checking out my project and I hope you are having a wonderful day!

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!

merry Chris-mouse by Diane Zechman

Hello Ai friends and happy Thursday!

 

Today I am sharing a card using the Chris-mouse Mini Shaker Set (4796) .  This is definitely one of my faves from the recent release!

 

 

Did you see the recipe card I made where I paper pieced his jammies?  This time I kept him in a simple green so he would stand out from the cute Christmas papers.  The jingle bell image is on a Mini Action Wobble... these are so fun!

 

Enjoy the sights, sounds, and smells of the season (ohhh...tastes too! lol)!  Have a great day and… happy stamping!

6x6 party cheeseball by Diane Zechman

Hello Ai friends and happy Thursday!

 

Today I am sharing a 6x6 recipe card using the Chris-mouse Mini Shaker Set (4796) .  Bonnie keeps knocking them out of the park, doesn't she?  How seriously cute is this mouse in his Christmas jammies?

 

This recipe card was made for a swap I participated in this past weekend with several of my stamping friends.  I chose this recipe and image because we had a Christmas theme for our event of "Jingle All The Way".  This yummy cheeseball recipe is one that my mother used to make at Christmas and my husband and I have continued to enjoy making it over the years for the holidays.  I figured the mouse goes with the cheese, and the jingle bell on his tail goes with our theme, so the recipe card all kinda fell into place!

 

The bell was stamped on a silver metallic cardstock. Of course, I had to place that cute bell on a Mini Action Wobble!  So fun!  His pajamas were paper pieced with a holly print to celebrate the season.  :)

 

Have a great day and… happy stamping!
