Have a Slothsome BIRTHDAY! by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

Today I have some really Slothsome cards to share with you!

Did you know that Art Impressions has a stamp series called Funny Farm?

If you're a fan of funny animals and puns the way that I am then you should check it out!

For my card I used the 5002 – Sloth-some Set.

I created 3 different versions of this card. This first one was for my friend Kristen's birthday. She LOVES sloths, so what better way to wish her a happy birthday?! I sent her a pair of sloth socks along with her card.

I used the 5134 – Banner Double Stitched Dies to stamp my sentiment on.

For my second card, I changed the location of the square the sloth is mounted on, the banner die and I added some fun twine.

For the last card, I placed the banner above the square and of course there's plenty of bling, because it's a birthday, so why not!

How can you not love this sweet face?

He would make anyone happy for their birthday.

Especially, if they're older and looking to "slow down time!" lol!

Here for the party | Art Impressions Sloth-Some set

Hello Ai Fans!

I thought this little sloth looked like he was ready to party and I thought it would be fun to mix up a few Art Impressions stamp sets. For this one I used the hanging sloth from the Sloth-some set and also the sentiment from the Never Too Old Laugh Lines set. This Sloth may be slow but he is ready to party.

For the last card I did using the sloth-some set I used colored pencils, so I thought I would use Copic Markers this time. You can find the list of colors I used below. I really didn't know what colors I was going to use this time, but I have been using a lot of blue lately. Which then led to orange and yellow. So that is what I basted the pattern paper off of.

I used the largest 3 ovals from the Oval Double Stitch die set and stacked them over the sloth. Creating a tunnel focal point. For the sentiment I used some navy blue cardstock and heat embossed it, with white embossing powder. I decided to cut the sentiment apart with a paper trimmer because i didn't want to cover the balloon lol. So I cut it and stacked it right above the branch.

For the inside I used several of the sentiments from the Sloth-some set to continue the party theme from the outside. I die cut that with a Rectangle Double Stitch die and layered that over top of the plaid pattern paper oval, which is a left over from the front!

Copic Markers Used:
W9, W3, W0, R81, E81
B99, B95, B93, B91
E18, E17, E15, E31

Alright that is it from me today! Thank you so much for joining me. Happy Stamping!

Sloth-some set By Jessica Shier

Hello Ai Fans!

This week I'm coloring up some sloths from the Sloth- some set with Prismacolor Pencils. Since the new challenge is Animal Print I thought coloring animal fur would be appropriate! I colored these very similar in this video here.

I started off by stamping the sloths (Sloth-Some set 5002) hanging from the tree branch three times on a piece of Kraft cardstock, using Gina K amalgam ink. I used some Copic markers to help me map out where my colors would go. I have the list of all the colors I used down below, broken up into sections. To add a bit of depth and color to the Neenah Dessert storm cardstock I used Distress Ink in Pumice Stone with a make up blending brush. Blending that ink around the sloths, making the edges the darkest.

I used another piece of Neenah Desert Storm cardstock to re-stamp the sloths three times so that I had 3 extra party hats and balloons. I decided on a black and white pattern paper to border the sloths and would need to cut off those sections which would slice right through them. By re-stamping and coloring those 6 elements I was able to fussy cut them out and place them over the top of the chopped hats and balloons. Plus it adds a little dimension. Speaking of which I also added some green craft foam underneath the sloth kraft piece.

I mounted the sloths with the green craft foam on to a piece of MFT Black and White striped pattern paper, then to Neenah Solar White 110lb cardbase. For the sentiment I used Tombow Markers (173 & 493) to make it gradient from green to blue, playing off of the colors of the balloons and hats. I also fussy cut the sentiment with my Fiskars scissors, then added it to the top right hand side with a few adhesive foam squares.

Slow Down Enjoy Your Day- By Crystal

Hi Ai Fans

This week I made a card using this adorable Sloth Some set.

I'm not sure why but sloths have become very popular lately and I love them.

I stamped this sloth hanging upside down from a tree branch onto watercolor paper in Versa-fine black ink because I wanted to color him in with Arteza real brush markers. After coloring the sloth in a die cut him out with a Rectangle double stitched die. I matted the image with some glittery green cardstock.

I stamped the sentiment "SLOW DOWN Enjoy Your Day!" with Versa-fine black ink and heat set it with some clear embossing powder.

I used a banner from the Flag double stitched die set to die cut the sentiment out.

I adhered the the matted image and sentiment onto yellow cardstock and then adhered the whole panel to a 5 1/2"X 41/4" side folding card base.

Colored with Arteza Real Brush Markers

Happy Stamping!

Enjoy your day by Sharon Caudle

Hello AI Fans!

I've got another project where I used the Sloth-some Set from Art Impressions. This time I made a couple small cards that are perfect for inserting a gift card to the recipients favorite coffee shop! All I did was fold my card and place the top of the die above the card fold. Because that leaves the top of your card with a flat top, I cut an extra front out with the full die and adhere that piece to the front of the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit today and until next time - stay crafty!
