Eunice -by Sherry Eckblad

Hello Ai Fans!

Sherry here today sharing a card I created using one of my favorite stamps. I know I say that a lot, but they are all my favorites.

Meet Eunice! 

I love everything about her, especially those tennis shoes.

(Copic Markers used: E000, E00, R17, R20, R30. V09, RV63, 

Y21, Y32, YR12, N0)

Of course I had to paper piece that outfit of hers and thought that star paper was just perfect.

I stamped the sentiment 'getting old' on some vellum and then sewed it down with my sewing machine and left the tails long for a little bit of texture on my card.

Hope you enjoyed my card today and happy stamping!

Santa's Helper by Karen Day

Hello Ai fans!

When it comes to Ai People stamps... Eunice is a character that appears several times in the collection.  There is Eunice in business attire, Ballerina Eunice, and today I'm featuring Santa's Helper - Eunice (Sku#P1790):

Isn't she a riot?  I've coloured her in Copic Markers to match my background papers, and have used this week's wonderful Mojo Monday sketch as my design.  I popped her up on pop dots, slid some ribbon underneath the main panel, and tied my bow with some green twine that I glued tiny jingle bells onto.

Happy Stamping everyone!

 

 



Eunice by Karen Day

Hello Ai fans!

It's Karen here today...sharing a card with one of the lovely Golden Oldie gals, Eunice (Sku#K1619).

To me, Eunice looks like a no-nonsense office manager.  Or maybe a nearing-retirement teacher?  A librarian who is about to shush you?  So many possibilities...

I am using the pretty At Last papers from Ruby Rock-It, along with some metallic gold chipboard corners, and a gold banner from the At Last Collection.  I popped Eunice up on pop dots, and tied an organdy bow underneath her.

 

I kept the inside blank (without a sentiment), but jazzed it up a little with a peacock feather.

That's it from me today - happy stamping everyone!

 



Happy Birthday from Jean, Eunice and Renee Matarese

Hello Ai Fans!
Today I'm sharing a couple of birthday cards with you. 

My first card uses Bingo Jean set of 3.

Here's the inside.

 Here's my second card featuring Eunice and Happy Birthday (cursive).

On the inside I used a phrase from the Lingerie Shoppe set.
