Reach for the Stars!

Hello and Happy Friday Ai friends! Today I have a Graduation card to share with you. I'm so excited to finally get my hands on this new Ai Grad 2013 Reach for the Stars stamp SKU# 4292. It's such a fabulous sentiment stamp, and oh so versitile!

My card size is a regular A2 (4-1/4" x 5-1/2") card size. I wanted to use a formal color scheme of black, sliver, and white. I used an older paper pad from DCWV 8" x 8" called La Creme Stack (printed paper with flocking). I paired that with black and brushed silver cardstock. I added some black diamond stickles to the cute star in the sentiment for some added glimmer. I also had some rhinestone accent swirls to add a nice balance.

On the inside of my card I stamped a simple Congratulations sentiment SKU# G959. I added a large strip of matching designer paper at the bottom. I hope you have enjoyed my Graduation card. I can't believe graduation's are just around the corner! Thank you for stopping by the Art Impressions blog. Happy stamping!

Ai Challenge 105

Hello friends, it's Ai Challenge 105 over at the Art Impressions Blog today, and the challenge is to make a coordinating card and envelope set. Since this week is the first week of Spring, I decided to make an Easter card. I used this adorable Ai Bunny and Egg stamp SKU# P3098. Isn't he adorable or what with his jumbo egg! I loved coloring him in. I used copic markers on the bunny, and prisma color pencils, gamsol, and paper stumps for the egg. For the envelope I simply masked out the bunny image with a post it note, so I only stamped the egg. I used a black permanent marker to draw in the masked areas at the bottom.

 

 The kraft cardstock base of my card is a regular A2 size card (4-1/4" x 5-1/2"). The designer paper is from a 8" x 8" designer pad called "Easter Hunt" from Paper Trey Ink.

The envelope is a regular size A2. I used prisma color pencils, gamsol, and paper stumps to color the image in. I hope you enjoyed my Spring card today.

Gotcha Valentine!

Hi Ai friends and happy Friday! Today I have a cute Valentine's Day card to share that I made for my sweet husband. I just LOVE this adorable Ai Boy Cupid stamp set SKU# 4129. It's the perfect size for a A2 size card (4-1/4" x 5-1/2"). My base is black cardstock, layered with Cherry Cobbler red cardstock by Stampin Up! I chose to use come cute Valentine designer paper, and die cut a heart and embossed the heart for added texture.

I stamped the cute Boy Cupid with black Memento ink, and colored him in with copic markers. I fussy cut him out and layered him onto the heart with foam tape. I die cut a flag with white cardstock and stamped "Gotcha!" in black ink, then distressed the edges with vintage photo distress ink.

For the inside of my card I stamped "Hi Valentine", SKU# G4007. I added a strip of matching designer paper at the bottom. Hope you enjoyed my Valentine Day card. Thanks for stopping by the Art Impressions blog today. I hope you have a fabulous weekend!
