Hello, Ai Fans!
Kick up your heels, it's time for a laugh...or new LAUGHLINES!
In addition to a new member of our GCH (Gift Card Holder) family, we have two new Laughlines that are sure to tickle your funny bone!
This gift card holder Birthday Cake Set includes dies for candles, cake tiers, cupcake parts, frosting and confetti. Like all of our Gift Card Holder sets, these dies are intended for use with our Envelope GCH set, sold separately.
This clear stamp set features a man and his best friend--his recliner! Like our other laughlines, this set comes with an image of a fella in a reclining chair, as well as 13 sentiments including the following : "You know you're getting old when happy hour is just a nap", "Happy Birthday! It's all downhill from here!", "You're only as old as you remember", "I thought getting old would take a lot longer", "Finally ready to settle down", "Gettin' old ain't for sissies", "Ancient Antique Vintage Classic", "My advise at this age...Never trust a fart", "Growing Old Disgracefully", "My body needs a refresh button", "Me and my recliner go way back", "Happy Birthday Kick Your Feet Up", "Recliner King"
This clear stamp set features a blue-haired party animal in her rocking chair, having a blast! Sentiments include : "Young at heart Old in other Places", "All my passwords are protected by amnesia", "I'm not aging, I'm appreciating", "Being old doesn't seem so old, now that I'm old", "You make getting old Look Good", "Instagran", "Wonder if I'll ever be old enough to know better", "Age is just a number", "My favorite age is now", "Happy birthday rock on!", "We rock", "Let's feel young again".
Welcome to our Challenge Feature for this Week!
Janet has a fun and creative celebration project for our new card-making challenge!
Hello Ai Fans!
It's time for a new Ai release and Challenge! Today I'm going to share two cards created with the fun new Laughlines Sets! These sets include either a lady or gentleman enjoying their favorite chairs. These come with a lady or gentleman and loads of punny sentiments to go with them.
The first set is called Rock On. I chose to use the sentiment, "Happy Birthday Rock On!" There are so many to choose from, it's almost hard to pick one. I made this card interactive. When the tab is pulled, the rocker actually rocks! It's a cool way to use this set.
As usual, I've made a video showing how this card is made. Check it out below.
I made another card with the new Laughlines set called, "Sit Back." This one features a gentleman enjoying his favorite recliner. I colored the recliner to resemble my Grandfather's brown and gold plaid one that my Grandfather loved. It was really fun to travel down memory lane when I made this one.
After coloring and fussy cutting the image, I cut the card pieces out of the same stamp pad. I love combining patterns and colors and using papers from one pad assures that the colors and tones work well together. I used the Ai Circle Double Stitched for the circles that provide a landing place for the man in his recliner. I also stamped the Recliner King sentiment from the Sit Back set.
After placing the background paper and circle mats on the card, I cut out the sentiment and a scalloped mat for it.
I wrapped strands of gray floss at the top of the card panel and attached the sentiment in the middle. Then I glued this panel on to a gray A2 card base.
If these two new releases were not enough, there is a new Gift Card Holder set celebrating birthdays this week. Here are two examples of what I made with this fun new Birthday Cake Gift Card Holder! The center gift card uses all the dies. You can see all the options available to decorate the cake. The other two were made by manipulating the dies to create shaker versions of the cake. I love how dimensional and colorful these turned out. Check back on Saturday when I'll show you how I made the shaker cakes for even more ways to use this set. Just remember that this set is designed to be used with the Envelope Gift Card Holder Die Set, sold separately.
