This week, Crystal is sharing a super fun card for our product swap!
Today we are using product from www.eyeletoutlet.com and I chose to use the mustache brads and the black bling pearls with the Ai Bummer set #4241. I love how easy it was to create with these products and the pearls were perfect to use on this masculine card, they added wow without being too feminine (smooth black 3mm beads).

To make my card, I wanted to pop up the sign so I first stamped my front image twice and legs once. I colored them with Copics. I colored only the sign on second front image, notice I added W5 dark gray shading on sign. I fussy cut the sign and popped it up over the gray area and if looking from side it will look like a shadow. Now I fussy cut all these (I always go around my stamped images in W1 this makes them appear to pop off the page). I added shimmer pen to the Happy Birthday. It's hard to tell in pics but I think it adds a real wow without the glitter, it's more a shimmer you add over color.
My card uses DCWV Guy Stack designer paper and Stamping Up cardstock. I added a mustache to my guy, he is too handsome now (think Tom Selleck ... lol).
Inside I added my legs on an Action Wobble.

Next I added sentiment to the inside and kept with the theme on the front of my card. Here I used the black pearls and two more mustache brads.

Lazy Boy Father's Day

Hello Ai fans !!
It's Crystal here and today I thought it's time to start making Father's day cards , this is my first of several to come. I am using the Lazy Boy set #4159 and the  wood Father's day sentiment # 1883.
to make this card I cut my layers off my gypsy ( Wild Card cartridge) using the Cricut
cut at 4" by 5 1/2"
my designer paper is the DCWV Guy Stack , love this paper it has perfect colors and patterns
so card base is standard A2 41/4" by 5 1/2" then plaid is 4 1/8" by 5 1/4" , then blue diamond layer  , and brown cross hatch  , I colored my image and fussy cut him out popped him up on foam tape , the sentiment stamped on blue and made into a banner with brown twine wrapped and tied into a bow , extra large gromlets are added.
copic colors used
inside my card I stamped the wood Father's day wordsin Memento Rich cocoa and colored with copics and added shimmer pen to give them the extra something
I hope this gives you a few ideas you might want to try on your cards ...
