Gingerbread house using new Art Impressions Set

 Hello AI Fans!

I'm sooo excited about the new release last week of #6114 Box Village Template Dies!! The Holiday Lane House and bundle, it just doesn't get any cuter than that!! Oh my word...I will definitely be making one of those! When I first got this set of dies, the first thing I thought of is a gingerbread house! I just couldn't get it out of my head. So I grabbed some kraft paper and went to work. For the book inside, I pretty much just typed up a rough draft of the story from my memory. LOL! I did use a lot of old Art Impressions freebies and exclusive stamps inside the actual book, so I won't be showing that here. After cutting out the box and all the pieces, I grabbed #5178 Gingerbread Cubbies Set and used those adorable little gingerbread people and the candy to decorate it. I added Stickles to all the candy to make it nice and glittery. 

I had so much fun creating this and I'm super excited about having fun with this set! There are just so many possibilities!! Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit today and until next time - stay crafty!!

Along Came a Spider featuring Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans!

I know Halloween is over, but I have just one more card I want to show you that goes along with our current challenge "Along Came a Spider". You still have a couple of days to enter! I used a fun fold for this one and had it where the right side overlaps the middle panel. I started out with #6112 Pumpkin Parade and colored up the adorable mouse pushing his cart full of candy down the street. To create this very easy scene, I grabbed a piece of paper from #6130 Halloween S3 PP and then used a piece of gray cardstock and drew in sidewalk lines. Couldn't get any easier. Of course I added a little spider hanging from his web up in the corner. Just a little note that I used a set of magnets from Amazon to hold the top down. It's just enough pull to keep it closed until you want to open it up. I simply glued one under the paper of the top flap, and the other one under the paper of the middle flap. It works like a charm!! 

When you open the front flap, it unveils a couple more spiderwebs and a spider with googly eyes. LOL! I just love those little ghosts from #5604 Halloween Journal Die Set. There are so many fun dies in that!! 

Once you open up the final flap, you get to see the cute girl ghost in all her glory telling you how Spook-tacular you are!! She is from #6111 Spooktacular Set, and I got the idea for the bow on her hear from my Bestie Dori! She has so many fangtastic ideas!! Since I wasn't going to use the ghost as a pop up, I just fussy cut it out so it wouldn't have the score lines for the pop up. It was super simple to cut it out. 

So that's it for me today! I hope you grab your paper and glue and play along with our challenge. You just might win a free set of your choice from Art Impressions!! Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit and until next time - stay crafty!!
