Peek a Boo pop up card featuring Art Impressions

Hello AI Fans!!

Have you created your card or project for the Green Galore Challenge? Today, I'm showing you the card I made using #5283 Frog Set from the Funny Farm line at Art Impressions. This Frog Set is so much fun to play with! I got a peek a boo pop up die set in January, and I've been wanting to use it. I think interactive cards are my favorite because they make a handmade card so fun! I've always leaned toward bright colors and fun or funny cards. They just make my heart smile!! So that's what I set out to do. There is the cutest leaping frog in this set and I knew exactly how I wanted to use him. Take a peek at this video and make sure to listen with sound! LOL! We definitely have a photo bomber on our hands!! heehee

These cards are really pretty easy to make and there will be a link to the peek a boo pop up die in the LinkDeli list below. So for my card, I just cut a piece of blue and a piece of green cardstock and then used a hillside die to cute the green piece. I stamped the Frog Set with Memento ink onto Cryogen White paper and colored them with Copic markers and then fussy cut them out. and glued the party of three to the front of the card. I then cut serveral fence pieces out of white paper and glued them along the top of the green cardstock on the card front. To finish it up, I cut the sun and clouds, and used some images from #5561 Birds and Bugs Set to finish it off. This was s super fun card to make and I really hope the recipient enjoys it as much as I do!

Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit today, and until next time - stay crafty!

"At least I wore a cardigan!" featuring Art Impressions

Hello AI Fans!

I'm here with you today to show you the card I created for the Pretty in Pink challenge going on right now on Art Impressions Blog. I don't know if any of you watch Tik Tok, but a while back, I saw a video where some friends thought it would be really funny to dress up their husbands in matching shirts for a party (without the men knowing about it of course). So while I was thinking about what I wanted to create, I came across my #4474 Old Guys Club Set and the light bulb came on! I just love the grumpy look on these guys, so I thought I might as well give them something to be grumpy about, right? LOL! I stamped the image onto Cryogen white paper and then colored them us using Copic markers. I made the card super simple by using the largest #5062 Rounded Rectangle Double Stitched Die set. I simply folded my cardstock in half and then placed the top of the die just above the seam of the fold and ran it through my die cut machine. Voila - a folded shaped card! I always cut another full piece of either the same cardstock or the patterned paper I want to use and glue it to the front of the card base. Doing that hides that flat fold that doesn't have stitching. Then I used the next size down to cut out my image panel. The sentiments were created with my computer and then cut out with some word bubble dies from my stash.
