Are the girlfriends good drivers?

Hello Ai Fans!

Today I'm sharing a funny birthday card with you.

My card features the one and only GIRLFRIENDS!!

I've used the SHOPPERS FRONT.
I decided I wanted to make the card a little dimensional so I popped up the front of the car and the license plate after I paper pieced them.
The verse is called GET OFF SIDEWALK.

I used two additional verses on the inside...

TOO OLD TO CARE
and
GF HAPPY BIRTHDAY


They were colored with Copic markers.


Okay...so I realized that I took the photos before I added the sparkly button head lights.  So, without further adieu here is the finished product!

This is Huge

Good Morning Ai Fans!
It is Rhonda here with a graduation card I have been working on this week.  We have had several graduation parties to go to this past year.  An exciting time with many changes as students move onto the next step.  I have been inking up "This is Huge Set" UM4288 and "Grad Set" 4225 from Ai.  These two sets are fun to work with and go well together.

I used SU Deco Lables, Copic Markers - mainly Cool Gray, Darcie Stars Asst. Embossing Folder, CTMH Friendship Alphabet Small, Label punch, Star Brads, MS Star border punch.

I used dimensions to pop up die cuts and added date with Label.

Life is a Beach....


Hello Ai Fans !!!
It's Crystal here and today I have a little bit of Summer to share with you.I am making my card with the cutest penguins .

When my 7yr old daughter Zoe saw my card she chuckled and said Penguins are suppose to be in the cold , I told her even they need a vacation to the beach for rest and relaxation and she agreed ..lol   I wanted to make them in a Photo fram but I do not have this die so I am going to show you how I created this with what I have , I think it turned out great.
First I cut a rectangle with my stitched die , then I did not have Squre dies ( I thought I did when I started but this did not stop me ) so I cut a square from Gina K card stock ( its very heavy) 2 1/2" by 2 3/4" , i then tack glued to hold it still after I placed it where i wanted this is my patteren I am going to cut around with my xacto knife
Summer penguins 6-25-13 008Summer penguins 6-25-13 009this is what you get
Summer penguins 6-25-13 010next I cut another pc  3 "by 3" and sponged Frayed burlap and tumbled glass to create my beach and water/sky background
Summer penguins 6-25-13 011add glue to back side and glue square in place
Summer penguins 6-25-13 012Flip over and this is what you get , next stamp your sentiment

Summer penguins 6-25-13 007and some envelope eye candy ,
tip ** when coloring your envelopes with copics be sure to put a piece of card stock inside so the ink does not bleed thou to back side ..
