Swingin’ Through Retirement! Card by Tasha

 Happy Friday Art Impressions friends!

Tasha here sharing a fun golf-themed card created with the new 6080-Birdie Betty Stamp Set and the 6101-Golf Paper Pack.

I started by stamping Betty and her golf bag with black ink, cutting them out with the included dies, and coloring them up. One of my favorite things about Art Impressions is how cute the outfits always are; I had so much fun giving Betty a purple and white look with pops of pink on her shoes and glasses. Honestly, I’d love to have an outfit like this for a day on the golf course!

To build the card, I layered Betty and her bag over a patterned paper from the Golf Pack; I love the little golf scene design. 

For the sentiment, I stamped “Swingin’ Through Retirement” and die-cut it with a circle, then added a small purple heart to tie in with her outfit. A mix of green, tan, and plaid layers finished everything off with that classic golf vibe.

Hope you enjoyed today's project and are having a wonderful day!

 Happy Thursday AI Friends!

I have a fun interactive card to share with you today that meets the bi-weekly challenge 

"Sports & Leisure".

By now, I'm sure, you have seen lots of cards using these fun new AI ladies.  They are just so fun, so expect to see more.  My card features #6080 -Birdie Betty.  What a fun cute golfer gal!  The expressions on these ladies are absolutely the best and the glasses add so much to their character.  Gotta love them!!

I started off by stamping the images onto copic friendly paper with Memento black ink and coloring with my copic markers listed below.  I then cut the images out with the coordinating dies that are included with the set.  The sentiments are also included with this set.

This interactive card is fairly simple but adds such a fun element to the card.  I saw this on "Purple Girl Crafts" youtube tutorial called - Diamond Slider card.

I recommend using 80 lb or less cardstock for the slider card.  If you use heavier cardstock, it doesn't seem to fold as nicely and it's too bulky.  I then mounted this to the card base (which can be heavier cardstock).

I hope you try making one of these interactive cards.  They are so fun and easy to make.

Also, make sure to join in on the blog challenge for a chance to win a free stamp set of your choice.  We love to see what you create!

Have a wonderful day and keep creating!!

Birdie Betty ~Swingin' Through Retirement by Reneé Matarese

 Hello Ai fans!

I hope you're all enjoying our Sports and Leisure challenge!

For this challenge, I chose to use Birdie Betty.

She's one of the new Ai People that were released in July.

The designer paper is from 6072 – Father’s Day Paper Pack.

Her earrings and glasses were done with my Signo Pigment Ink Gel Pen – Gold.

The sentiments were stamped on 5726 – Nested Circle Dies and a banner from 5952 – Portfolio Template Die Set.

It was the Ai People (aka Golden Oldies back then) that first drew me to Art Impressions. I'm thrilled that Bonnie continues to add more of these fun characters all these years later.

Betty's card was cut using 5463 – Slimline Dies Set.

There are fun paper packs to coordinate with all of the new ladies.

Birdie Betty goes with this pack.

6101 – Golf Paper Pack

Swingin' Through Retirement by Sharon Caudle

 Hello AI Fans!!

I sure hope you're enjoying your summer! The weather here has been remarkable and I have truly loved sitting outside and enjoying the breezes!! The card I've got for you today is for those golfers we have in our lives. I am very recently retired, so I am just getting to realize the joy that comes with it. I will say though, that the days just seem to fly by!! Nothing like when I was working and the work day seemed to be two days long! LOL!  I used one of the brand new AI People #6080 Birdie Betty!! I can't even begin to tell you how much I ADORE Bonnie's characters!! She amazes me with her talent! I am having soooo much fun coloring up these beauties!!  I stamped her onto a Copic friendly paper and then colored her up with the markers I've listed for you below. I then cut her out using #5727 Nested oval dies and then matted that with #6046 Scalloped Oval Dies.  The sentiment was stamped onto white cardstock cut out using #6045 Scalloped Circled Dies and then mounted onto a mat cut with the same set. I added the striped panel matted with a piece trimmed using the scalloped edge die from #5543 Journal Template Die Set. I almost forgot to let you know that I used #5955 Encouragement PP. Isn't this paper just gorgeous??!! 

So that's it for me today! Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit and until next time - stay crafty!!

Birdie Betty-Ready for a Round! by Reneé Matarese

 Hello Ai fans!

Are you in love with these new Ai People as much as I am??

You must be. They're so easy to love.

For my card today, I used the new 6080 – Birdie Betty.

I love some of these papers from the 6072 – Father’s Day Paper Pack for the sky and grass. These 6x6 paper packs are all so versatile. The sentiment was stamped on the center banner die from the 5463 – Slimline Dies Set and is actually from the new 6075 – Cruisin’ Carol. Betty's glasses and earrings are gold and they were done with a Signo Pigment Ink Gel Pen – Gold.

I didn't have the paper pack in time but check this out!!

There is a 12 pc. (6 designs) paper pack to coordinate with Betty.

How cool is that?
