New Parrot Twister from Art Impressions!

Hello Ai fans!

Have you seen the latest new line from Art Impressions?

It's a super fun Twister line and they're so easy to make!

There's a die to cut the frame and then each Twister image comes with a die to cut that specific shape out.

I used the 5217 – Bird Twist Set and the 5218 – Twist Frame Die.

When the card is open you can twist the bird back and forth to see his front and back.  He's so CUTE!!

Copics used:

YG00, YG03, YG06, T1, T5, RV25, B21

Thanks a whole SLOTH!

Hello Ai fans!

We're starting week 2 of the Odd Animals challenge over at Art Impressions so that means it's time for me to play along!

I've used the new Sloth-some set from the Funny Farm line.

Every year my sister's fertility doctor rents out the Syracuse Zoo for his patients.

My sister and her girls always go and they always take him a little thank you gift.

This year I used a clear plastic take out container to create a gift box.  She's not sure what she's going to put in it yet, but it's ready when she figures it out!

How cute is this little guy??

I decorated the inside of the container as well.

Happy Birthday Wild Thing!! You're how old??

I just LOVE humorous birthday cards.

That makes me wonder how I missed these 

chimps before??  Once I stumbled onto them

I HAD to have them.  They're called

Laughing Chimps and I think they're

perfect paired with two Art Impressions verses...

How Old? and Wild Thing.  I also love that you could
use this image for a child or an adult; man or woman.

We all know it's a little tougher to find great masculine images.

These guys are just perfect for any guy in your life who likes

to chuckle!

 The fun jungle leaves are made with a Sizzix yellow die.

I made the bananas by using an oval punch and punching

near the edge of the paper so only a sliver of oval punched.

The oval mattes were made with a Spellbinders die and an 

oval punch.

 Here's the inside.

For my card I've used an absolutely adorable image from Paper Pretties.  Isn't this giraffe awesome!!  I paired him with the Cuttlebug embossing folder that I think is probably actually Cheetah spots but I think it works. I also had some cute giraffe paper in my stash.

I'm thinking of turning this into a birthday card but until I know for sure I'm going to leave it blank. 

Card makings:

Paper Pretties:  Giraffe

Cuttlebug: embossing folder

Sizzix: Jungle leaves

embroidery floss

Copic markers

brads

EK Success border

Hanging around thinking of you

I couldn't resist this cute monkey when I saw him.  He came in a clear set with zoo animals and since stamp companies don't print their names on the clear ID sheets that the stamps come on I can't remember who makes this set.  I stamped him twice so that I could put his face on dimensional tape and make him 3-D.  The phrase is from Rubbernecker stamps and the background was embossed with a Cuttlebug folder.  The mattes behind the monkey are made with Spellbinders label dies.  Inside I used a Stampin' Up phrase that says "you make me smile".
