Girls Night Out set by Karen Day

Hello Ai fans!

Have you all seen the latest Ai Halloween sets??  I'm sharing the cute little flying witch from the Girls Night Out Set (Sku #4526):

When I saw this sweet little witch, I knew that I wanted to have her flying - so I made a circular die cut through the front of my card, and suspended her on a piece of thread in the opening:

 She's a little hard to photograph, since she likes to twirl around when the card is propped open!  So I've taken a few different shots so that you get the idea.  Below it shows the card laying flat so that you can see her a bit better.  I've also used the Funky Halloween (Sku# 4312) sentiment on the front of the card - and the inside sentiment is "Girls Night Out".

Forgive the photos!  The base is a vibrant lime green colour, not quite as neon as the photo shows on the blog!  I used my Gift Box Punch Board and a piece of 6x6" cardstock to create a tiny matching pumpkin to hold a few little chocolate goodies:

I started by assembling my card base mounting lime green on the front, and a warm yellow on the inside.  I cut a 3" circle through the entire front.  I coloured the witch with Copic markers and fussy cut around her.  I cut a black shape with my Cricut, and glued a piece of thread onto the back:

I ran a line of glue down the back of the witch and placed her under the thread before gluing the die cut onto the front of my card.

You can see all of the Ai 2014 Halloween sets here!  Happy Stamping Everyone!

Bring on the Chocolate! by Kerry

Hello Ai friends and happy Monday!

Today I'm sharing a card using the Show the Love set (SKU#4230) and since Halloween is coming up really soon, I decided to color her with 'spooky' colors.

I think she is totally ready for a halloween party!

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a super day!

Home is where you park it! by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a card made with one of the images from the SC0651 Ai His and Hers Campers from Art Impressions. Ai clear sets are available at Michael's (through Hampton Art)

The front of the card says "Home is where you park it."

The inside says Congratulations from the Graduation Hats Off Set (Sku#4289)

I thought this card would be great for someone who is retiring and moving or maybe for when someone new moves into the neighborhood or a housewarming party.

Gobble 'til you wobble by Sharon

Hello AI Fans!

 

For my card today, I had a lot of fun with an AI Shake Your Booty called Gobble Set! Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays, so this set was a must have for me! My apologies, but this post is a little picture heavy. I actually cut the sentiment apart so I could use the "Gobble" portion of it on the front of the card. I love doing that, and if I want to use it together again, it's easily placed back together on my acrylic block!

 

A shot of the inside...

 

Got a little bit of the wobble action blur

 

 

And a shot of both the booty and the rest of the sentiment.
