Hello Ai fans, I am so excited to share with you today my project for our current Challenge "Windows around the World". I am using the versatile Ai Journal set and the Llama Set.
I stamped the two Llamas image using Memento Tuxedo Blank Ink and my mini Misti as well as the gifts stack. I colored the images using my Copic Markers.
I used fun bright Valentine's colors from Copics.
I then cut my images and die cut the window from the Ai Journal Die set 6 times from heavy white paper sand glued them on top of each other to make the window dimensional and sturdy. I glued them using my Nuvo Glue.
I then placed the window on a striped yellow background from my stash.
To assemble items inside my window compartments, I cut the top part of the Llama that has the baloon and attached it with foam tape ion the top right corner. I used my White Gel Pen to hide the black lines from the other Llama.
For the Birthday presents I cut the gift stack into two halves and placed each half on the lower compartments of the window.
I left one compartment empty for the Birthday wish which I wrote using alphabet stickers. I then glued the whole thing to bright pink and light green backgrounds and finished up with few start enamel dots.
Hello Ai fans, so glad you are joining me today as I share this cute card using the adorable Llama Set.
I stamped the cute big Llama and the tiny cacti images on Bristol Smooth White Paper with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.
I then colored them with my Copic markers and cut them with the dies included with the set.
I stamped the sentiment from the set using Pink Raspberry Distress ink and die cute around it with Art Impressions Double Stitched Banner Die Set.
I used Sand embossing powder to create the sand on the grass where I placed my Llama. The grass was blended using Mowed Lawn and Crushed Olive Distress inks.
I backed my images with foam tape and attached them to a plain white background.
Hello Ai Fans - Bri here! I'm so excited to be introducing the latest challenge to you "Zoo Crew," which includes any project that features an animal. I thought this card card is perfect for the occasion since it is SO colorful and festive! This A2 sized card design features the 5458 - Llama Set, which is part of Ai's Funny Farm collection. For more details on how I created this card keep reading below.
The background paper is from a 6 x 6 Birthday Bash paper pack by Pink Paislee. I believe I purchased this paper pack from JoAnn. I used the largest oval shape from the 5065 - Oval Double Stitched Die Set to cut the front panel directly behind the llama image.
I loved all the colors featured on the background paper and I wanted to incorporate them into the llama's accessory pieces. All the images were colored with my Copic markers. I used E40's to color the llamas and the clay pots. I used a wide variety of colors on the accessory pieces.
I used foam tape to attach the cactus, llamas, and the sentiment strip to the card front. I love the "You're Lla-mazing" sentiment.
To finish the card I added enamel dots to coordinate with all of the colors on the background paper.
Hope you enjoyed this festive card! Check back next week for more Ai inspiration made by me!

I started by stamping the little llama image and colored her with markers. I love this stamp set, but hadn't used this little stamp yet. This stamp is small, but so cute!
To create the scene, I stenciled a bright orange spotlight and colored a ocean-themed background with markers. I also added a palm tree from the 5187- Happy Trails Set! It's fun to mix and match your sets and think of new ways to use your stamps!
Lastly, I stamped "Happy Little Moments" in a coordinating orange ink before attaching layers of orange, blue and blue marble paper. These colors are so warm and this card just makes me smile!

Tasha here sharing a new card created with the Ai 5458-Llama Set. This set is so fun and I love this pair of Llama friends with their cool clothing and accessories!
The background was created by ink blending several shades of Distress Oxide Ink and stenciled black stars on top of the bright colors. To continue with the Star-theme, I cut a large star from black glitter paper and layered the sweet llama pair on top. This card has a cool rockstar vibe and I love it!
The sentiment was stamped with black on to bright white card stock. The white paper pops surrounded by all the bold colors and stars. This greeting is so fun and totally goes with the festive llama characters.
Lastly, I added a layer of silver glitter paper before attaching the card to a white card base. I think this card is so cheerful and will make someone happy on their birthday!
Thank you for checking out today's project and I hope you are having a great day!
We just finished up our super fun shaped card challenge.

I am really excited to show you todays slider card! We will be using the Slider Die (4764) to create the mechanism that will allow these two adorable llamas to have a sweet kiss!!!
In order to have these two images face each other, we will need to stamp the reverse image of our llama. I will show you a really simple way to do this which will give you a perfect reverse image every time!!!
