Hello friends and happy Monday!

Today I am on the Art Impressions blog with another card using the 4939- Full of Thanks set. This time I used the cute turkey in disguise!  I think he is the one giving thanks…for not landing on the dinner plate!

I used a Simon Says Stamp die for a layer to pop him up on and then added a few gold rhinestones for the “ground”.

Have a great Monday and a wonderful Thanksgiving… happy stamping!

Hello friends and happy Monday!

Today I am on the Art Impressions blog with a card using the 4939- Full of Thanks set. This set is perfect for your Thanksgiving projects! The sentiments are so fun.  I also used the Gina Marie Designs Pumpkin Quilt die which my friend, Tina, bought and then enabled our whole group of friends to purchase. LOL. Does that happen to you? It’s so pretty and makes the perfect background for this Ai set!

While I was die cutting different papers to use, I figured I might as well switch the pieces around and make two cards.  These critters are so cute with their tummies full of pumpkin pie!

I still had plenty of leftover pieces and needed a few “quick cards” but didn’t have time to color up some extra images.  My solution was to piece the pumpkin pieces together onto a patterned background and then stamp the images and sentiment on the inside.

I used rust and dark brown inks to give them some color without actually coloring. 🙂

Have a great Monday and… happy stamping!

Hello friends!  The current Ai Challenge is “Third Dimension” and we are featuring the new Art Impressions PopCards! Here I used 4944- Haunted Mansion PopCard and the 4862- PopCard Template.

I found some cute papers in my stash to go with the images and die cut a circle window in the front. After you make one of the PopCards to see how they are put together, they are pretty easy to create. When you open the card, the mansion pops up to be 3-D!

I’m not sure who’s idea it was (I think it was Kate’s) to cut the template from acetate but it works great! Plus, it is clear so you don’t see it from the side!

Now it’s your turn to break out your favorite stamps, make a card, and join us in the “Third Dimension” Challenge!

Happy stamping!

Hello friends and happy Monday!

Today I am CASE-ing my DT friend, Renee, on the Art Impressions blog with a card using the Ai 4952- Skeleton Wiggle Wobble set.  (She shared her card last week)  The sentiment on the front of my card is from the Michael’s exclusive SC0680- Spare Me clear set.

Renee had the brilliant idea to create a spider web window on her card and I loved it so much that I wanted to re-create it on a card for my friend who has an October birthday and LOVES Halloween.  After seeing Renee’s card, I couldn’t even think of making mine any other way! lol.  It’s perfect!

I changed mine up a bit by making a different shaped window and adding a punched creepy fence to the front. I used the same cute mice punch but brought that to the front as well.

On the inside, the wobbly skeleton was assembled with mini brads and he is made EXTRA wobbly by adhering him to the card with a Mini Action Wobble.  I opted to skip his hat & bow tie this time.

Since I used a black card base and a dark patterned paper inside, it is difficult to sign the card.  My solution was to use the leftover pieces I die cut from the front window to adhere on the back for my message and signature.

Now, I didn’t give him a hat & bow tie for a reason….he GLOWS IN THE DARK!!!  So I didn’t want to cover up part of his head.  After I assembled all his parts with the mini brads, I used an old bottle of Glow-in-the-Dark fabric paint I had in my stash (for many moons!)  Mine was a pale yellow color which I didn’t see while searching but I did find the same brand with a Natural color which I’ve linked below.  I’m guessing the natural color would be better anyway!  Oh, and I didn’t forget the eyes in the little bat & spider die cuts….they glow too!

Here’s a quick little video to see the action!

I want to thank Renee for letting me CASE her card!  I enjoyed making this for my friend.  Have a great Monday and… happy stamping!
