Celebrate! Card by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing a bright little card featuring one of the new Ai Birdie Freebie Stamps. I enjoy collecting these little stamps and think the bird designs are lovely! 

(Freebie stamp is available with an Art Impressions purchase of $30 or more. Check out the Ai Shop to see all the options!)

To create this card, I stamped the bird image with black ink and colored him with markers. For the background, I ink blended around the edges of the center card and used a stencil to make sun rays. The golden colors are so pretty and frame the bird perfectly!

Lastly, I added layers of gold glitter card stock, bright blue paper, and several yellow enamel dots. I also stamped the word "Celebrate!" from the 5735 - Birthday Sentiment Set in orange ink to complete the project. 

Thank you for checking out today's card and I hope you all are having a wonderful day!

Just Roll With It Birthday Card by Tasha

Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing a birthday card created with the super fun 5186-Enjoy the Ride Set from Art Impressions!

The bike image was stamped with black ink and colored with Copic Markers. The set includes several extra accessory stamps, so I added the balloons to the back to go with the birthday theme. I love that this is optional to allow you to customize the bike for year-round cards!

For the background, I used a cloud stencil and blue Distress Oxide ink to add fluffy clouds to the sky. I also used a grass stencil across the bottom and Copic Markers to add more little grass around the bike.

The sentiment "it's your Birthday, just Roll With it" was stamped with orange ink and cut with a tiny banner die. Blue and orange always look great together and I like the unique banner shape on this design!

Lastly, I attached layers of textured orange paper, silver glitter paper, and blue card stock before attaching the card to a white card base. I think this design is cheerful and will make someone smile on their birthday!

I hope you enjoyed today's card and are having a wonderful day!

Let It Snow Card by Tasha

 Good morning Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing a winter-themed card created with the Ai 5041-Snow Friend Set!

To begin this project, I stamped all the images with black ink and colored them with markers. I used white gel pen for little accents and clear glitter on the snow. I also added little snowdrifts to the ground; I love the light blue color!

The background was created with Distress Oxide Ink and I used a light blue ink to stamp several snowflakes. I also used a marker to add little inked dots and rhinestones on the center of the snowflakes to extra sparkle! The sentiment "Let it Snow" was stamped in gray ink and it blends in perfectly with the snowy scene!

Lastly, I added a layer of deep red cardstock and a birch bark pattern paper before adhering it to a white A2 sized card base. 

Thank you for checking out today's winter-themed card and I hope you are having a great day!
