Ai - Circles Challenge with Wheelies

Hello Ai fans!!

It is challenge time again!  This challenge is ... Using Circles.  Art Impressions recently released two new Wheelies for fall. There is the one I am sharing; Halloween Cat Wheelies and also the Snowman Wheelie.

As you can see I started with a square white card base.  I added a layer of black card stock. I cut two circles with the Circle Double Stitched Dies; the bigger one in Halloween paper and the smaller one in white. I stamped my Halloween Cat and Copic colored him.  I added all of the separate bits and finished it off with my sentiment from the Halloween Cat Wheelie stamp set.

As you can see above the leg is attached by a brad which in turn is attached to the wheel. The wheel is attached to the back Turning mechanism by a 1/4" piece of foam tape.

Here you can see the back side of the "Turn Here" mechanism.  It is the foam tape that gives it the space to turn along with the handle to turn the wheel.

I finished off my card with some Orange Crystal Nuvo Drops.  

Here is one more look at the finished challenge card.
I love challenging myself with different elements. This Wheelie is one of them.  I love how interactive they are.  My nephew will love getting this for Halloween this year in the mail.

Thank you so much for stopping by.  Don't be afraid to try to try something new like one of these Wheelie cards.  They are not hard at all once you get going. Make sure you play along with the current Art Impressions challenge ... you could win something awesome!

Ai - Friendship Blooms

Hello Ai fans!!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the Art Impressions HM Garden set.  I paired it with the WC Sentiment set.

As you can see I started with a dies cut I had in my stash.  Once I cut it and placed it on my navy card stock, that is where I got the idea for the HM Garden set randomly placed around the circles.  

As you can see the items in the HM Garden set fit perfectly in the circles, or should I say on the circles? 

The sentiment "Friendship Blooms From The Heart" from the WC Sentiment set fit perfectly with the theme and the middle of the card.

I finished thecard off with a little Wink Of Stella to the metal on the watering can and the shovel, just to make the metal shimmer a little.  I can't decide if I like the orange one or navy one better.  Which one do you like better?

Thank you so much for stopping by ... have a great week and we will see you soon!

Ai - My Best Friends Are A Little Nutty

Hello Ai fans and and fans of Nic & Viv ...

It is September ... do you know what that means??  STAMPTEMBER over at Simon Says Stamp! And guess who has an exclusive stamp set called Nutty and Nice ... Art Impressions does.

As you can see I am using the new stamp set called Nutty and Nice  that is exclusively for Simon Says Stamp.  I decided I wanted an interactive card so I chose to have the Fruitcake swing in a frame with my sentiment.  The friends are eating Fruitcake below .

As you can see I Copic colored my friends and pattern paper pieced the pajama bottoms.  I added a frame around my two sentiments and have the Fruitcake swinging from a pendulum. I love how it turned out.  I have the perfect friend I am sending it to. 

Above is a small video of the Fruitcake swinging.  Enjoy!  Please run out and get this adorable set from Art Impression exclusively for Simon Says Stamp.  Once it is gone ... it's GONE FOREVER!

Thank you so much for spending a little time with me today.

Ai - Spiders Oh My!

Hello Ai fans!!

I am sharing a fun card I made using the 5038 Ghoul Friends stamp set along with 5064 Circle Double Stitched dies over on the Art Impressions blog today.  Head over and give them some love.

I started by cutting three different circles from the circle dies in my dark gray card stock.  I wanted the pattern to go from small to large circles.

On my white card stock I figured out where my circles were and used pencil to mark them so I knew where to stamp my spiders. I stamped them with my black ink.

I stamped my sentiment on white card stock and framed it with coordinating card stock to make it stand out more. I added some Wink of Stella to make it shimmer some. I also added some Nuvo Drops and crystals to give it more dimension.

Here is one more look at the full card; I made two one with orange and another with purple. Thank you so much for stopping by and spending a little time with me.  I hope you were able to find some Halloween inspiration. Please stop back again soon.
