Best Friends by Dori Mendiola

 Happy Thursday AI Friends!

My card today just screams friendship.  I think all of us would agree that Friends are the Best!  I don't know what I would do without my Besties!! 

I created a fun-fold card using the #5516 Friends Forever stamp set.

I stamped the image on copic friendly paper and colored with copic markers listed below.   I made the window on the front using the #5063 Rectangle A2 Double Stitched die.  I used the inside rectangle for the frame of the image and the outside stitched portion for the window frame.  I made a square 5 1/2" card but you can make this on a A2 card base as well.  For the fold piece inside, I cut a piece of 80 lb cardstock 8 1/4" x 4 1/2" and scored at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2".   If you want to make a different size card, such as an A2 (4 1/4" wide x 5 1/2" high), the inside fold piece is computed as 1.5 times the width and scoring in thirds (2 1/8" and 4 1/4").  Adhere your image to the top fold piece only, so that it will swing into the window when opened.  See picture below.

I stamped the sentiment from the #5516 Friends Forever stamp set onto a stitched circle using the #5064 Double Stitch Circle die and the frame using the circle die from #5902 Mini Scallop Frame.  I added a few enamel dots and a bow and my card is finished.

Hope you enjoyed my card today.  Keep creating!

Friends Forever by Sharon Caudle

 Hello AI Fans!!

Well Fall is definitely in the air here in Reno! I just came back inside from filling my bird feeders and thank goodness the fireplace was going! BRRR!!! LOL! We are getting a high of 50 degrees today, and it's a little cloudy too. So I just had to feature these beautiful Girlfriends all dressed up in their fall clothes. I used #5516 Friends Forever Set from the AI Girlfriends line of stamps. I stamped them onto Cryogen White paper and colored them up with Copic markers. Hello Fall!! 

Thanks for stopping by today and hope you're able to get crafty today!

Friends Forever Card by Tasha!

Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing two cards created with the Ai 5516 Friends Forever Stamp Set!

For my first card I wanted to make a bright daytime scene. These girlfriends look like they are having a great time sitting together enjoying the weather! I enjoyed coloring their clothing and adding details to make their outfits unique.

I love this greeting and thought it would be perfect to send to a special friend. I used orange card stock to frame the sentiment to coordinate with the blue in the background. I also added red, white, and orange layers to the card to bring in more color. 

The second card is a night scene and I used darker colors to go with the starry night sky. You can really customize this stamp to go with all different seasons. I think I may create a Fall and Winter scene next!

I created the background with various stencils and ink blended the edges. I wanted it to look like the bright moon was shinning, so I kept the center bright to spotlight the friends. This stamp is so cheerful and it's so much fun to get creative and give each character a different look. 

I hope you enjoyed these projects and are having a wonderful day!
