Someone Sweet by Niccole

Hello Ai fans!!

Thank you so much for stopping by today.  I am sharing a card I made using the Cupcake BFF set.  I am always in need of birthday cards.

I started by Copic coloring my birthday gal with her cupcake. I cut her out and set her aside.  I cut a piece of black card stock a little bigger that my lady.  I then cut my gold glitter card stock a 1/4" bigger than my black piece.  I attached the back card stock to the gold piece.  I added my birthday gal to the black piece with foam tape. 

I added Wink of Stella to my birthday gals top and to her cupcake.  I added a piece of red card stock to my white A2 card base.  I added a smaller piece of white card stock to the red piece and stamped my sentiment to the bottom right of the white card stock. 

I added my gold finished piece to the white base at an angle.  I absolutely love how it turned out.  I finished it off with some purple/gray enamel dots. 

Here is one more look at the full card.  Thank you so much for stopping by and spending a little time with me.  Please come back again soon to see what we are all sharing.

Ghirardelli valentine treats by Diane Zechman

Hello Ai friends and happy Monday!

 

Today I am sharing a project using one of the Ai Valentine sets. Here I used the 4753- In The Air Set to make some sweet little matchbook valentine treats. Do you still have to make some last minute valentines? Just a few scored lines are needed to whip these up!

I stamped the cute skunk, colored him with Copics, and die cut with Sizzix Dotted Squares. Then I stamped another image on the inside to coordinate. The pocket inside was made with some old valentine paper in my stash from My Mind's Eye. I've used brads to attach the pocket before but I think I like the look of staples better. A thin strip of silver washi tape was added to the edge of the flap. A few heart enamel stickers by Recollections were added to finish it off. Just slip a Ghirardelli square inside and make someone smile. :)  Measurements for cutting and scoring can be found here.

I've never tried the Dark Chocolate Strawberry Ghirardelli before but I'd highly recommend them. ;)

Have a great Monday and… happy stamping!

 

Fright Night gum treat by Diane Zechman

Hello Ai friends and happy Thursday!

 

Is it too early to be thinking of Halloween?  I hope not!  I have a friend who loves Halloween so it would never be too early for her.  Today I am sharing a Halloween gum treat using a NEW clear set that is now appearing in your local AC Moore craft stores!  This set is called Fright Night (SC0735) and includes an owl, Frankenstein, and cat, PLUS a matching die to cut the images out!

I started with some packs of gum that have a sleeve and a piece that slides out with the gum inside individual "bubbles".  Then I measured and wrapped the packs with patterned paper.  Before adhering the paper, I wrapped it around and traced the half-circle openings.  I punched those out of the paper with a 3/4" circle punch.  Then the paper was secured with Scor-Tape.

The outside was decorated with my Copic colored and die cut images.  A cute sentiment from the set was heat embossed with white embossing powder onto a black cardstock strip.

On the inside, I used little glue dots to attach some die cut bats to each gum "bubble".  (Psst... the bat dies and the little pumpkin die on the front are a sneak peek and will be appearing in a stamp set in a few weeks!)  :)

I hope you liked this little treat project.  Have a great day and… happy stamping!
