Glitter & Shimmer Challenge

The Art Impressions Design Team are all sharing projects today for the current challenge on the Ai blog: "Glitter & Shimmer Challenge"!  I am bling-challenged at the best of times!  But I can definitely add a little sparkle now and then.  Today I am sharing three cards made with one of the Shake Your Booty sets called Dancer Set (Sku #4308):

 These were fun to put together.  I coloured them all up with different skin tones/hair colour, then paper pieced their outfits.  The circles & sentiments are popped up on pop dots, and a few adhesive sparkles were added.  Here are some close ups:

 The "Glamorous" sentiment is from the Pamper Yourself clear stamp set that is available at Hobby Lobby stores.

 One thing that I almost NEVER do, is to have a plain white card base?!  And this is the second one that I've done in the last few weeks.  These plaid papers just look so fresh & clean paired up with white.  And of course, I need to show you the inside - where her tush has been paper pieced, cut out and put onto an Action Wobble so that her booty shakes.

*Have you seen the new Mini Wobbles??  You can find them here in the Art Impressions store!

Fill 'er Up Coffee Card

 Today's card for Art Impressions just makes me smile :o)  It's fun, bright, and coffee themed - all of my favourite things in a card!  I am using one of the two images in the Hot Java Mama set #AICS32 available exclusively at Hobby Lobby stores (you can find it online!):

Got Style?

Hello Ai fans!

I'm using another of the wonderful stamps that are available at Michael's through Hampton Art - SC0678:

 I had fun paper piecing their outfits... I had to pull out my Exacto knife to cut out the hand on the middle gal!  I just adore their hats and poses - there's a little bit of style & attitude going on here :o)

 The set comes with two images and seven sentiments, so here's the one I put on the inside:

Happy stamping!

Mojo Monday #459

I had this image sitting on my craft desk, all coloured up and ready to go... so I pulled out the same papers I've used with it in the past, and made up a card for this week's Mojo Monday challenge.  Here is Jean from Art Impressions:

Patterned paper is Springtime from Doodlebug Designs, Cardstock is Bazzill and Close To My Heart; Copic Markers; Stamps are Jean and Not Deaf by Art Impressions; YNS Gumdrops; Ink is Memento Tuxedo Black and Onyx Black by Versafine.

Still Sizzlin'

Art Impressions is having a "Sweet Summertime" card challenge on the Ai blog, so the Design Team are all sharing cards today.  I have one of the cute Golden Oldies stamp sets to share, here is Bbq Couple (Sku #3478):

 I did a little paper piecing on the aprons and her dress, and both the images and sentiments are raised up on pop dots.

 The sentiment is Sizzlin (Sku #3473):

 Come and check out the challenge - and be sure to link up your own creation, there are always fabulous prizes to be won!

In The Bag

 I wanted to do something a little different for my Art Impressions post today... so I decided to do a circle card, and then wanted to make it a more interesting shape, so I ended up using my Cricut to cut a flower shape from some patterned paper.  My image from In The Bag (Sku # 4729) fit perfectly as a circle in the center:

 Then I decided to make it into an easel card:

Duck Stackers

 I hope you're loving the newly released Ai Stackers from Art Impressions as much as I am!  They're a hoot to colour, and the die makes assembly so easy.  Here is Duck Stackers (Sku #4738):

 I made a flip version of my card, and switched up the stripes:

 And here it is with the pull tab pulled out of it's slot:
