Make a "Wobble" card...

Hello and Happy Thursday! It's Challenge 102 over at the Ai Blog today, and the challenge is to make a "Wobble" card. I had to look this one up, as I wasn't entirely sure what a wobble card was. I found a great u-tube video that showed what they are, and how to make your own. It is a card that has a small spring behind the image, and when you tap it, the image wobbles slightly. I made mine with a piece of metal wire. It was fun to try this technique!

My card size is a regular A2 size card (4-1/4" x 5-1/2"). I used my all time favorite Art Impressions stamp, Birthday Whoot stamp set, SKU# 4125. I stamped him with Memento black ink and colored him in with Prisma Color pencils and Gamsol and paper stumps for blending.

For the inside I stamped a sentiment from the Birthday Whoots stamp set. Makes a great birthday card for anyone!

Ai Challenge 101, Masking

Hello and happy Thursday! It's Challenge 101 over at the Art Impressions Blog today, and the challenge is "Masking".  I haven't done any masking on a stamped image in quite some time so I was excited to try making a nice distressed background behind my stamped Eunice image, SKU# K1619.

I stamped my image onto Solar White cardstock, then re-inked my stamp and stamped on a large piece of post-it-note paper. I then fussy cut out the image out of the post-it-note paper and then placed it over the stamped image on the cardstock. Then I gently brushed tea dye distress ink to create a nice soft tea dye background.

I then trimmed my image and colored her in with Copic markers. It's a subtle background, when you just want to warm up the background a little.

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!

Show me the love... hearts challenge!

Hello friends and Happy Valentine's Day!  It's Challenge 100 over at the Art Impressions Blog today, and today's challenge is to use "Hearts" in our card. I LOVED this challenge! I've always wanted to die cut out a heart shaped card, and here was my chance to try it! I can see I'm going to do this more in the future! I used the Framelits - Hearts die cuts from Stampin Up! (the largest heart that is scalloped). I decided to use the new 2013 Ai Valentine's stamp called Tina, SKU# 4215. Such a fun stamp! I colored her in with Copic markers, fussy cut her out, and popped her up on 3-D foam tape.

  

I die cut some cute Valentine's Day designer paper from Love Note by Fancy Pants 6" x 6" paper pad, and sewed them onto the front of the red scalloped hearts die cut cardstock. I die cut a strip of pinked border to add a little something between the two designs. Then I layered my colored Tina image onto the top.

For the inside of my card I die cut a heart from white cardstock, and stamped the matching sentiment from the Ai Tina set. I really like how this valentine's day card turned out.  It was so fun to make.
