Birthday Wheels By Bri Firth

Hello Ai Fans - Bri here! Today, I am sharing a birthday card featuring the Birthday Buggy Set which is part of the Ai Rides collection. Keep reading below for details on how I made this under the party-themed creation. 

The card background features vibrant pink, purple, and green blend to coordinate with the birthday accessories filled inside the card. I used a retired Tire Tracks stencil with Black Soot Distress ink onto top of an Picked Raspberry, Seedless Preserves, and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ink ombre background to create the coordinating card front design.

The car and birthday images were colored with Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend markers. I used a white gel pen to add fun detail lines to the images.

To finish this card I used gold gems for embellishment to coordinate with the gold and white twine attached to the balloon images.

Thankful for Autumn Card by Bri Firth

Hello Ai Fans - Bri Firth here! Today, I am sharing another ShadowBox Window card featuring the new Autumn Window Set. Check out all of Ai's 2021 new releases here! This project is featured on my personal blog today as well, check it out here. 

I used the ShadowBox Window die to create the 3D window in the front of the card. I used coordinating Fall patterned paper to decorate the front of the card as well.

Below the window, I placed the "Thanks" die cut to go along with the harvest scene. I used my Spectrum Noir Tri Blend markers to color the Thanksgiving scene from the Autumn Window Set.

Forest Scene with Bri Firth

Hello Ai Fans - Bri here! Today I am sharing a card featuring the Deer Window Accessory Set from the ShadowBox Windows series. This window accessory illustrates a beautiful forest scene. The writing around the image reads "May you stand firm and find the strength to move mountains". This card is featured on my personal blog as well, check it out here! 

I used Spectrum Noir Triblend markers to color the Deer Window Accessory square image and matted it onto a green stitched square that I die cut with the Double Stitched Square die set. I matted the scene and the card front with solid white cardstock. To tie the neutral colored pattern paper in with the scene I stamped a tree from the WC Tree Set 1 all along the bottom border to look like a tree line. I added light green enamel dots for embellishment.

Coffee Shop Drive-Thru Window by Bri Firth

Hello Ai Fans - Bri here! Today, I am sharing a mash-up card featuring new products from the ShadowBox Windows series and Matchbook collection. This coffee shop drive-thru window showcases the ShadowBox Window Die and the MB Coffee Shop set. I love that you can use the Matchbook collection to create scenes where you are "looking in" from the outside of the building. This card is also featured on my personal blog, check it out here!  

First, I glued the wood-printed paper to an A2 card base. Next, I die cut the square opening and then attached the white window paneling from the ShadowBox Window die set to the card front. I colored the MB Coffee Shop images with my Spectrum Noir Triblend markers and then attached them to the interior foldable panel and the card front. I used my scoring board and stitched scalloped border die to create a store-front canopy out of green cardstock. To finish the card I stamped the sentiment onto a Flag Double Stitched die cut and attached it to the card front with foam tape adhesive. I distressed the edges of the flag to match the green canopy.

Hello Countryside Windows by Bri Firth

Hello Ai Fans - Bri here! Today I am sharing some cards featuring the new ShadowBox Windows series. These cards are perfect for the newest challenge, Ai Squared. For more details on this challenge, check out the announcement here. These cards are also featured on my personal blog, check it out here! 

These creations feature the new die set, ShadowBox Window Die, and four new stamp and die sets: Boat Window Accessory Set, Deer Window Accessory Set, Mailbox Window Accessory Set, and Bridge Window Accessory Set. These ShadowBox Windows Series sets create the most enchanting rural scenes! 

I chose my background paper to look like wall paper and the inside of cabins. I also wanted the paper to coordinate with the window scenes. I used the ShadowBox Windows Die Set to create the 3D interior fold for the scenes, the window and window ledge die cuts for the front panel, and the "hello" die cut on each card.

I colored each of the window scenes with Spectrum Noir Triblend markers. I love the smaller images like the bridge, mailbox, boat and deer that are mounted in the foreground of the scenes. The images below provide a zoomed in view of the four different window scenes.

Espresso Hugs by Bri Firth

Hello Ai Fans - Bri here! Today, I am sharing my creation for the Itty Bitty Challenge. This tiny creation features a new set that is part of Ai's Matchbook collection, the MB Coffee Shop set. These matchbook sets are just so adorable and so itty bitty! This card is also featured on my personal blog, check it out here! 

First, I die cut the matchbook frame using the Matchbook Template die set. I used the same die set to cut the sentiment strip, rug, windows, and window frames. Next, I stamped and colored the images from the MB Coffee Shop set. I colored the images with Spectrum Noir Triblend Brush markers. I die cut all the images with the coordinating outline dies included in the MB Coffee Shop set. The flaps make it so easy to determine the placement of all of the images.

I used the MB Envelope Dies set to create a coordinating envelope for the coffee shop matchbook out of espresso-themed paper. I used Vintage Photo Distress ink to create the splatter effect on the mini envelope. I stamped the "Live life in full" sentiment from the Succulents Set onto the back of the envelope with pigment black ink.

Sew Cute and Tiny by Bri Firth

Hello Ai Fans - Bri here! Today, I am sharing my creation for the Itty Bitty Challenge. This creation features a new set that is part of Ai's Matchbook collection, the MB Sewing Room set. These matchbook sets are just so adorable and so tiny! This card is also featured on my personal blog, check it out here! 

First, I die cut the matchbook frame using the Matchbook Template die set. I used the same die set to cut the sentiment strip, rug, windows, and window frames. Next, I stamped and colored the images from the MB Sewing Room set. I colored the images with Spectrum Noir Triblend Brush markers. I die cut all the images with the coordinating outline dies included in the MB Sewing Room set. The flaps on the images make it so easy to determine the placement of all of the images inside the matchbook.

For some additional fun, I used the MB Cat Accessories set to add another ball of yarn, the paw prints on the rug, and the kitty hiding in the cabinet!

I used the MB Envelope Dies set to create a coordinating envelope for the sewing matchbook out of craft-themed paper. I used the mini gift tag die, twine, and a button to decorate the envelope. I distressed the edges of the tag with Twisted Citron distress ink. I stamped the "just for you" sentiment from the Succulents Set onto the tag with pigment black ink.
