Happy Mail by Carol Hintermeier

Hello Ai friends!

I have a fun card today using the adorable Mailbox Gift Card Holder set.  This is another versatile set that will be great to use for so many different occasions!



I stamped the images with Copic safe ink and used some Copic markers to color them.   I've listed the markers I used below.  Next I used the included dies to cut them out (except the latch, which I fussy cut).  I also stamped the mailbox onto some patterned paper from my stash and fussy cut it out.  I used the alphabet set (5284) to stamp out the words.



I followed the directions on the back of the package for the easy assembly.  I added foam tape to the back (be sure to leave the gift card area open) and popped it up onto my layered card base.  This card turned out to be 5" x 4-3/4".  I adhered the flowers with liquid glue and popped a few up with thin foam squares.  I also added a flower to cover the hole that is die cut for the flag since I didn't use that.  I added the latch with a silver brad.



Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you have a wonderful, crafty week!

Happy Valentine's Day Best-Tea | By Jessica Shier

Hello Ai Fans!

It's Jessica. Happy Valentine's, Galentine's or Friday! However you are spending today, I hope it is a good one. Today I'm sharing a cute little card using the new Coffee Gift Card Holder set, Small Alpha stamps and the Valentine's Bear stamp set. I decided to use the Coffee dies as just die cuts instead of a gift card holder. I'm also making this one a tea themed card!

For this card I did do lots of stamping, coloring and inking. I have a video tutorial to share. So you can see exactly how I went about creating this one. 

Copic Markers used listed below.

I love the versatility of the Coffee Gift Card die set, there are just so many fun stamp images that you can pair with to create something similar to this one! Plus the Small Alphabet stamp set has been a fun addition to creating my own sentiments on cards, like I did here. By simply stamping U and R at the top and adding the sentiment from the Valentines Bear set "Beau-tea-ful" I created the perfect sentiment for this tea themed card.

That is all I have to share with you today. I hope you enjoyed the video tutorial! Thank you for joining me and happy stamping.
