New Art Impressions Note-Ables!

Art Impressions is launching a brand new line of stamps today on the Ai website, called "Note-ables"!  I am sharing a notecard and bookmark today using Elle Note-able (Sku #4510):

You write your little note on the inside of the card, and then tuck the edge up under his feet!  Here's a view with the note opened up:

And this is what the sweet bookmark looks like when he's holding your page:

There are four new Note-ables (see below!) and each one comes with the main image, a sentiment, and a 'doo-dad' to decorate the inside.

Check out this wonderful how-to video done by Kate from Art Impressions to show you how fun they are to put together:

 

We have a Fancy Folds challenge going on for another week on the Art Impressions blog - you can link up your creation here.

Old Guys Rule

 I have a masculine card for you today... using the wonderful Old Guys Rule set (Sku #4474) from Art Impressions:

I usually keep my embellishments to a minimum on guy cards, so I just picked up the pops of orange with a little zigzag stitching and a twine bow under my sentiment.

Copics used: Skin - E13, E11, E00, E000, E37, E34, E31

Blues - B39, B37, B34, B32

Greens - G46, G43, G40

Browns - E57, E55, E53, E52, E51

Oranges - YR16, YR15, YR12

Greys - W7, W5, W3, W1, W00

Happy stamping!



Graphic Birthday

Just another quick card that I made this week for a family birthday.  I'd had the zigzag die cuts sitting on my desk for a while - they're negative die cuts from a card that I made a while ago.  I just received the "happy" die, and thought that they'd all work well together:

Zigzag die, My Favortie Things; Happy die, Avery Elle; Stamp is Say It In Style, CTMH; Cardstock is White Daisy, Black, Moonlight, Tulip, Sorbet & Creme Brulee - all CTMH; Enamel Dots, Your Next Embellie.

A Masculine Birthday Card

We are celebrating my brother-in-law's birthday this weekend... so I pulled out "Cliff (Sku #1553)" from Art Impressions along with the fun sentiment: "Cleverly Disguised (Sku #2630)" for a pretty fun card :o)

Patterned papers are Fresh Anthology, Sydney by Making Memories; Cardstock is White Daisy & Dutch Blue, CTMH; Ink is Tuxedo Black, Memento; Copic Markers; Stamps are Cliff & Cleverly Disguised, both Art Impressions.

Another Deep Breath card

I am sharing a birthday card on the One Crazy Stamper blog today, that I made for my sister's birthday. I'm using an Art Impressions set from their summer Zoo Crew release: Deep Breath Birthday...

The Paper Players #216

I had one more Witch Wanda image coloured up in greyscale... so I decided to make up another Halloween card when I saw that this week's theme challenge on The Paper Players was Halloween...  I've also been wanting to use this background paper on a card somehow (it reminds me of a paint chip!) and thought that this might work:

Patterened papers are Frightful, MME; Cardstock is Black & Colonial White, CTMH; Stamp set is Witch Wanda, Art Impressions; Ink is Tuxedo Black, Memento; Copic Markers; Baker's Twine, The Twinery; Enamel dots, Your Next Embellie; Cricut Artiste Cartridge.

Harvest Tryfold card

 I have one of the fabulous Art Impressions 'Try'folds to share today... I'm using Harvest TF (Sku#4205):

 The Tryfolds make such lovely cards, and people are just amazed at how clever you are when they receive them!!  All of the details on cutting, stamping and folding are included with your stamp set, which makes it easy peasy to put one of these together.

The sentiment is "Sow kindness harvest friendship"

I used Copics to colour the images, but used more of a typical marker colouring style with brush strokes and a fairly loose hand - rather than a doing a lot of blending. 

You can find all of the Ai Tryfolds here.  And to make it even easier for you, you can also purchase a package of 8 precut & folded cards and envelopes all ready to make your own Tryfolds.

 Happy Stamping everyone!

Copics used: W7, W5, W3, W1, B23, B21, YG97, YG95, YG93, YG91, E57, E55, E53, E51, YR18, YR16, YR15, YR12, E09, BV08, BV04, BV02.
