Laugh Harder by Sharon Caudle

Hello AI Fans!!

So.....how many of you are thinking about pumpkin lattes? LOL!! Some people are definitely, and others are cursing under their breath with just the mention of it! LOL!  I love this stamp T4136 Girlfriend Blend from the Girlfriends Line at Art Impressions! AI has so many wonderful sentiments, so I grabbed one from AICS05 Dare to be Fabulous Set and cut it out using 5133 Flag Double Stitched Dies.

You can preview the new designs in our release video below and purchase them today at artimpressions.com!   Today we have Sharon to show you a tutorial for creating your very own flip card! Hello AI Fans!! I'm super excited to get to share one of the new Flip Card Sets available now at Art Impressions! These adorable felines are Christmas Kitties!!  I love me some red and green at Christmas, but I really enjoy making cards with non-traditional colors as well.  So that's the direction I took this time.  I just used some digital paper for my card. I always pick my papers first, before I color. That way I can match my Copics to my papers.  Of course I chose some gingham since that's the challenge!  Look at these cuties all colored up! They're so adorable!!  These flip cards are so easy to make!! The instructions are right on the die packaging.  I simply cut the papers to fit onto the card.  Since I'm a dimensional girl,  the Christmas Kitties and sentiment are popped up off the card using mounting tape.  To dress up the bottom, I just cut a strip of my cardstock and punched both sides with a border punch. Then added another little strip of gingham to it. I love how it gives it a lacy look.  Using my Bow Easy, I tied a bow with twine to finish off the front!  And a look at the inside.  I love making these Flip Cards!! They are so easy to make and decorate, but they have a big wow factor! Hope you enjoyed my feature today and I can't wait to see what you make with the Flip Card Sets! Until next time - Stay crafty!!

Hello Spring Chicken by Sharon Caudle

Hello AI Fans! 

My card today features a stamp set I love soooo much!!  Spring Chicken Set!! I just stamped her up and cut it out using the Circle Double Stitched Die set.  Then the card base is made using the Rectangle Double Stitched Dies. I love gingham paper, it just screams "country" to me, so that is what I put behind her. 

I added as simple little bow and a couple of pearl drops to finish it off.

What a bird brain by Sharon Caudle

Hello AI Fans! 

Do you love plain and simple cards?  It doesn't get much simpler than this one!!  I used a scalloped circle die to make the card base, then used AI Double Stitched Circle Dies to make the layers. The stamp is from Spring Chicken Set and I colored her with Copic markers.
