Front Porch Thanksgiving and Thank You cards from Art Impressions

 Hello Ai fans!

There was a new release a few days ago on the Art Impressions website.

NEW PORCH ACCESSORIES!

HOORAY!

I made this card BEFORE that happened though so I made a Thanksgiving porch with what I had to work with.

We have two dogs and our Boomer has a "special" relationship with the squirrels.  He especially HATES them and believes it's his mission in life to chase them all our of our yard.  This is my nod to him.

I also made a Thank You front porch and guess what?  This one was selected for publication!

I'm so excited!

These porch sets have endless possibilities.  I love each and every one of them!

Unfortunately they misspelled my last name but I can live with that.

I'm thankful for my family, friends and my job with Art Impressions.  

What are you thankful for today?

I apologize.  The 5039 – Grateful Hearts Set that I used for the sentiment, hat and wheat spray is discontinued now at Ai.  You can still find it on other retail sites so if you want this set, get it now before it's gone forever.  All other products I used are linked below.

WInter Critters from Art Impressions!

 Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a card that used several different sets from Art Impressions. 

5346 – Birdhouse Cubbies Set
5179 – Autumn Owl Cubbies
5100 – Woodland Tree Cubbies
4874 – WC Bunnies Set
5016 – WC Mini Critter Set
5353 – Large Snowflake Dies
5351 – Chubby Snowmen Set

My house is set back in the woods and I love all the nature I get to see.  This is a typical day in my yard if you add a random flock of turkeys and the occasional bear!

I made two versions...the one above with glitter glue for the snow and the one below where I used white glitter paper and a very old Sizzix snow/sand die.

Aren't the delicate snowflakes beautiful? 
I love the new large snowflake die set.

The fun thing about nature's critters and winter is you can always tell who's been to visit overnight when you find their tracks in the snow the next day.

My son used to see a barn owl flying outside his window for years.

And the squirrels and chipmunks??  Well, they consider it their life's mission to drive my dogs crazy!

I hope you love all of these sweet little animals as much as I do!

Hoot Hoot Hooray!

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a masculine birthday card.

I was recently inspired by the Art Impressions Challenge to combine sets.

I used the owls and verse from the 5179 – Autumn Owl Cubbies

and the leaves from 5100 – Woodland Tree Cubbies.

The branches are from 4964 – WC Branches Set.

The sentiment actually says Hoot Hoot Hooray Halloween is here!  Since I only wanted the Hoot Hoot Hooray part I only inked up that portion of the stamp.

On the inside I used the verse from the 4972 – Owl Flutter Set.

Woodland Tree Cubbies! New Ai Critters

Hello Ai fans!

Did you see the amazing new release over at Art Impressions last week?

The new line is called Critter Cubbies.

Just like the Holiday Mansion there are lots
of doors and windows to peek out of.

On the inside I used two of the verses that come with the set.

I also used
5063 – Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies
and

5064 – Circle Double Stitched Dies

The set comes with dies to cut all of the animals, the tree and the leaves so NO FUSSY CUTTING!!  Hooray!
