Sea Time is Free Time! by Janet Axtman

 

Hello Ai fans! One of the things my family enjoys about living in the Carolinas is that beach access is plentiful and close. With that in mind, I made this card thinking about an upcoming trip to Folly Beach near Charleston, SC. The truck comes from the new Rides #5511 Floral Truck Set. I filled the truck with the #5509 Beach Accessories. I used Copic markers to color all the images. 

After creating the sun rays background with a stencil, I cut a smaller background with #5062 Rounded Rectangle Double Stitched Dies and a slightly bigger mat with the same set. As final touches, I added three butterflies from the Floral Truck Set and a sentiment from the #5397 Submarine Cubbies Set. I cut out the sentiment with the  #5064Circle Double Stitched Dies.

The images for this card were so much fun to color. I've included a little closer up view of them below.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. The entire Rides Line is so fun and unique. I hope you'll visit the store and check out the selection of vehicles and accessories.

Wishing you a very crafty weekend!

Coffee BFF's by Niccole

Hello Ai fans!!

I am stopping by today to share a card I made using the Coffee BFF's stamp set from Art Impressions.  

 I started by picking the paper I wanted.  I thought this pretty pattern paper went well with the green I wanted for my background and the mat for my main image.  I also had the perfect green and white bakers twine that matched perfectly. I tied my bow double for extra loops.

Once I had my paper picked out I could start coloring my gal pals.  I trimmed them to the size I wanted and instead of a straight on mat I decided to shift the green paper for a little variety. 

Here is one more look at the finished card.  I love the "generic" format of this card.  You really can use this for absolutely ANY occasion you needed.  I love cards that are versatile to any occasion.

I absolutely LOVE this color combo and papers together so be on the look out for these papers in the future. 

Thank you so much for stopping by and spending a little time with me.  Make sure you come back soon to the Ai blog and see what the team has been up to.
