Spring Means Flowers (and bikes)! by Janet

Spring has sprung in my neck of the woods. I took out my bike and got her ready for the season. I washed the dust off from storage, added air to the tires and checked my breaks. Then I took her for a spin. It was so nice to ride through the neighborhood with the wind in my hair. Yay for biking season!

So - I had to celebrate by making this fun bike card using 5186 - Enjoy the Ride Stamp Set. This bike is just the best! I created the road and brick background using wide washi tape. I added the basket of flowers, heart banner, and bow from 5493 - Front Porch Valentines Set. The sentiment is from 5734 - Friend Sentiments Set. The main panel was cut with the 5063 - Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies to get a stitched edge.

What do you like to do in the spring? Use what makes you happy to inspire your card making. You are sure to find something to help express it with Art Impression sets.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you'll stop by the store soon for all your card making needs. While you're there, make sure you check out the entire Cubbie line.

Wishing you a very crafty day!

Live life in full bloom by Sharon Caudle

Hello AI Fans!!

Today I'm showing you the card I created with the Bloom Where you are Planted challenge going on right now. I love this challenge as it's reminding me that spring is getting closer every single day! YAY!! So for this card, I used #5401 Easter Chicks Set which I am so in love with! These are the cutest chicks EVER!! And this set comes with the most adorable hats, bunny ears, and ribbons you can put on their heads to dress them up for Easter or any occasion! Or you can just leave them plain. It's completely your choice!! I also used #5588 Journal Oval Frames Die Set for the sentiment banner and those cute little flowers on the front of the platform. The cute sentiment was stamped using the brand new #5734 Friend Sentiment Set. And then in the back, I used #4967 WC Fence Dies. I think that fence is so adorable in front of the trees. The trees, cloud, and grass dies are from my stash. I stamped the images onto Cryogen white paper using my Misti stamp platform and then cut them out using the dies which are included in the set. I don't know about you, but I really love the fact that a lot of Art Impressions Sets include the dies. It makes it soooo much easier than having to fussy cut!
