I find you quite ribbiting! by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!
4954 – Toad Wiggle Wobble



This is my first post of the new year so I thought it would be fun to start out with something "Toadally Fabulous!"

You can see the little toad peeking out of the window on the front.

When you open it up she dances.

When I made her I didn't yet have the cute little bitty brads that Ai offers so I improvised.  You can find the tiny ones HERE. They come in white and silver.

Isn't she the cutest thing??

Here she is on her WOBBLE dancing.

Because I used the wrong brads she doesn't wiggle quite as much as she should but you get the idea.

Flamingo Wiggle Wobble by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

Recently Art Impressions released a new line of stamps called the Wiggle Wobbles.

I've used the Flamingo on my card.

4955 – Flamingo Wiggle Wobble

You attach it together using tiny little brads and then place it on an action wobble to make it shake!

These make such a fun, interactive card.

Check out the video to see her in action.

Weekend Warrior by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a masculine card that I made.  Anyone who knows me AT ALL knows that I love to make cards for guys!  This handy man is called Weekend Warrior (Sku#4378).

I love to use metal on guy cards.

I used some alphabet brads to spell out dad.

Since the inside needed to be flat I used some tool dies that I had.  It was the first time that I used them and I love how they turned out.  Don't laugh...I used the inside safety seal to a jar of nuts to make the tools.  It was a sturdy silver material so I saved it and cut them out of it.  Recycle, Reuse, Reduce! Right?
