Garden TF by Karen Day

Hello Ai fans!
I am sharing a spring Try-fold card today using Garden TF (Sku #4203)
 This is such a gorgeous stamp set - and so versatile!  This would make a great birthday card, Mother's Day card or even an Easter card wtih that sweet little bunny on the front image - and I really love the sentiment.
 All the instructions to create a Try-fold card are included with the stamp set.  After stamping and colouring with Copic markers, I lined the back sides of the flaps with some polka dot paper, and mounted my card on it as well.  You can find all of the Ai Try-fold stamp sets here.
 Copics used: Blues - B01, B00, B000, B000
Greens - YG05, YG03, YG01, YG00, YG95, YG93, YG91
Greys - W5, W3, W1, W00
Browns - E55, E53, E51
Reds - R35, R32, R30

Happy happy Birthday! by Kerry

Hello Ai friends and happy Monday!
Today I'm sharing a fun birthday card using the Armadillo set.  
These little guys are just too cute and I wondered what do they find in the gift boxes, hehe!


I started by coloring with Copic markers.  For the gift boxes, I also added some fun polka dots by using the Sakura white gel pen.


Copic markers used:  T1, T3, T5, V0000, V000, V12, V15, V17, Y32, YR12, YR21

Thank you very much for stopping by today and have a crafty day!

Time to PAR-TEE!! by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!  

Today I'm sharing one of the super new releases from Art Impressions.  The set I've chosen for today is the #4902 Par-Tee Golfers Set.


I love that this set is great for men or women!


Even if you don't know a golfer these are such fun images and verses.


Zoom Zoom!!


The cute verse is on the inside.
I think it's the golfer's equivalent to "The fish was THIS big" stories!


Here's the fun gal!


And the VERY funny verse on the inside that I made look like the flag in the hole. 





Copics used:

YG05, YG11, YG25, YG63, Y11, Y17, 100, B52, C1, C3, C5, E00, E30, E35, E81, E93
