Mooove It Mini Shaker

I am posting on the Art Impressions blog today!

I am shakin' things up a little today, with the Mooove It Mini Shaker (Sku #4797):

 You're probably singing the song now, aren't you?  There's just something about dancing cows...  I coloured them up with my Copic markers, and you'll notice that the hind quarters on the front cow also come as a separate stamp.  After colouring his derriere, I used the die cut included in the set to cut it out, and used a Mini Action Wobble to pop it up - giving him a wonderful shimmy when you flick it!  You can see where the Wobble is a bit better here:

There are three cute sentiments in the set, so I cut one of them out in a pennant shape, and added the little milk carton on pop dots as well.  I made a second card with a few paper changes, a different sentiment and some zigzag stitching:

Happy stamping!

Shake a Little

The Art Impressions design team are all sharing projects made with the 2016 non-holiday shakers (you've seen the cute Halloween & Christmas ones already!), so today I have a 3-dimensional card using Rock & Roll Mini Shaker (Sku #4795):

 This set is designed to go with the Mini Action Wobbles - and one is included with the set!  I first stamped the base image on my cardstock, and then stamped just the upper body & leg, which is a separate stamp, and there is a die to cut it out.  Then I mounted the die cut onto a Mini Action Wobble and attached it onto the base image so that she wiggles and shakes on her rollerskates!  There are two sentiments: "It's your Birthday!" and "Rock & Roll" which I stamped on the inside of the card.  **Also included in the set are the three small star dies and the "Zooom!" word die!  I love these - the perfect finishing touches.  I cut out a cloud die, added the zooom & a star, then popped it up on a pop dot behind her skate.

 Head on over the Ai blog to see what the rest of the team has created, and while you're there, you can link up your project with our latest challenge which is "Shake a Little" we want to see your cards with movement!

Reindeer Mini Shaker

 I can't get enough of these cute Mini Shakers from Art Impressions!!  These are so quick and easy to create, that they are great when you want to create multiples (I made six of these this weekend!).  Here is Reindeer Mini Shaker Set (Sku #4800):

I kept my card design pretty simple, since I was making a bunch and wanted them done in an afternoon.  I used the amazing Therm O Web Deco Foil Transfer Sheets along with the Therm O Web Deco Foil Foam Adhesive to make his nose really shine!  Then I put it onto a Mini Action Wobble to give him a little movement.  I also used the iCraft Supertape with the transfer sheets to create my shimmery stripes, here's how:

Supertape is a strong, clear, double-sided adhesive, so I pulled out enough to lay across my paper, and trimmed it to the right length with my craft knife.  I also cut a piece of the red Deco Foil slightly larger than my strip of tape:

I pulled off the red backing, placed the Deco Foil over the tape (shiny side up!) and burnished it with my finger:

Here's the end result when I pulled the Deco foil strip off - the red foil transferred completely onto the Supertape.  You won't believe how EASY this is, and the results are just amazing!

Here's another shot where you can see the red foil nose & stripes a little better:

Happy stamping!

Chris-mouse Mini Shaker

Hello Ai fans!

I am having a great time making cards with the new Mini Action Wobbles!  And of course the new Ai Mini Shakers are all designed especially for them... here is a quick card using Chris-mouse Mini Shaker (Sku #4796):

This week, the Ai Design Team are all using Therm O Web products on our creations, so on today's card, I've used the Deco Foil Foam Adhesive along with Gold Deco Foil Transfer Sheets to give the glimmer to my mouse's jingle bell.  I also used the foam to die cut snowflakes - and they turned out SO amazing!  These are the Ai Snowflake Dies (Sku #4804), and they are quite small and detailed.  I started by running my Snowflake Dies and the Foam Adhesive through my Cuttlebug:

The foam is sticky on both sides, so I peeled the backing off one side of each snowflake, and laid them down onto the matte silver side (the back side!) of the gold foil, and pressed down:

I flipped the foil over, and gently burnished the foil onto the snowflakes with my finger.  Then I pulled off the foil and here are the results:

They're like little metallic foam stickers!  All I did was peel off the backing and place them onto my completed card.  What a great way to add foil touches to your projects!

Our current challenge on the Ai blog is Prep For Christmas!  We'd love you to share your holiday creations with us - there are always fabulous prizes to be won.  And don't forget to enter the great giveaway, below! Happy stamping!
