I'm here for the party! by Sharon Caudle

 Hello AI Fans!

Happy Memorial Day! If you're so inclined, I hope you  take a moment to say a prayer for all of our fallen soldiers that paid the ultimate price so that we may enjoy the freedoms that we cherish. I personally thank every one of them and their families for their service and sacrifice. 

My card today is a fun one featuring the adorable Llama Set. They are so dang fun, and they definitely look like they are here for the party! I stamped the fun image onto alcohol ink friendly paper and colored it with Copic markers which are listed below. I then cut it out using AI's Nested Circle Dies. The fun sentiment which fits them so well is from the Never Too Old Laugh Lines Set, and the fun confetti swirls are from the Harvest Journal Die Set. The links to all the sets I used are listed below. Just click on the picture of it and it will take you right to the AI shop! The sun and balloon dies are from my stash. I also added lots of Stickles, so it works for our current challenge, All That Glitters. 

  

That's it for me for today! Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit! Until next time - stay crafty!!

Slowing down? Not my mouth!! by Sharon Caudle

 Hello AI Fans!

Today I have a card that meets our new challenge going on "That's Ridiculous", so all you have to do is create a funny card or project. Now how easy is that when you use Art Impressions stamps??!! For my card, I used #5114 Never Too Old Set from Art Impressions Laugh Lines. I love this line of stamps! There are soooo many sentiments that go perfectly with her!! I stamped her with Memento ink and colored her with Copic markers which are listed below. I decided to turn her into a shaker card just for fun. I also used the brand new Mini Birthday Journal Paper Pack #5873. The colors in this pack are so pretty! 

So that's it for me today! Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit, and until next time - stay crafty!!

Never Too Old! by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a fun 60th birthday card with you.

5114 – Never Too Old Laugh Lines

I love all of the laugh lines so much.  They're just perfect for making a little fun of getting older.  Hey!  That doesn't mean you need to slow down, right?!

5063 – Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies

I used several sentiments from the set and used some of Ai's dies to frame them.

5133 – Flag Double Stitched Dies

I also used some of the flowers that I stamped and cut out from the Floral Twister Set. I thought they were a good match with the designer paper that I used.

5213 – Floral Twist Set

The 60 was cut using the VERY old Sizzix Block Numbers dies.

Even though the card has a lot of dimension it folds nice and flat for mailing.

I adapted my card from the instructions I found here.

Happy Birthday 29 AGAIN?! by Crystal

Spectrum Noir Markers: DR1, GB1, GB3, GB5, AB1, AB2, AB3, IG2, IG4, IG5, TN1, TN2, TN4, DP1, DP2, DP3, MG1, MG2, MG3

For my first card I used pattern paper at the top printed "Happy Birthday" and some fun hot pink polka dot pattern paper. 

I used two of the sentiments from the stamp set "The year of lying about your age has arrived." and "29 AGAIN?!" I had fun coloring the old ladies dress hot pink. 

Spectrum Noir Markers: GB6, DR1, IG2, IG4, IG5, HB1, HB2, HB3, FS6, FS7, FS8, DP1, DP2, DP3, BP1, BP2, BP3, PL2, PL3, PL4

The second card was kept simple just matted it on pattern paper and added some a stencil frame around it. 

For this card I used the sentiment "I NEVER THOUGHT I'D GeT OLD! BUT HERE I AM KiLLin' iT!" 

Happy Stamping!
