Baby Monkey Front & Backs by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a card that fits in with our current Front & Back challenge over at Art Impressions.  I used the absolutely adorable Owl & Monkey Mini Set (Sku#4405).  The best part about the mini front and back line at Ai is that they have a coordinating mini die set! Owl & Monkey Mini Dies (Sku#4538) You heard me!  No more need for fussy cutting!

My friend needed a baby card for a woman who doesn't care for pink and who is doing the baby's nursery in baby monkeys and koalas.  I instantly thought of this sweet little monkey.

Look at how perfectly the dies cut around the image!

It was SUCH a time saver.

Monkey gift card holder by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a gift card holder with you.

I had a clear case from one of my kids iPods lying around so I decided to repurpose it.

I used the adorable  Owl & Monkey Mini Set (Sku#4405)

from the mini Front & Backs line.

I decorated the inside as well as the front.  You can see the backside of the monkey here.

 The Congratulations verse is from Hats Off Set (Sku#4289).

I think this fun set makes such a cute gift and it's perfect for a girl or a boy!

My "little monkey" phrase was computer generated.

Asleep on the Job! (For 30 years!) by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a card that I made for my husband's co-worker.  She just celebrated 30 yrs. with their company and they had a party for her.

I used Asleep on the Job Set (Sku#4160).

The verse "Only one thing to say..." Wow Graduate Set (Sku#4291).

My husband and Maria call each other BFF so I

added that with some little alphabet stamps I have.

Inside I used the verse from the set and the Congratulations verse from Hats Off Set (Sku#4289).

You're Spectacular!! by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!  

Today I'm sharing a Congratulations card that could be used for many different occasions.

This would be great for a graduation, maybe for a teen who made a sports team or accomplished something academically or an adult who received a promotion etc. 

This stamp set is called  Spectacular Set (Sku#4290).

I absolutely love puns so this set really spoke to me.

"Spectacular...get it??"

I thought that stars worked really well with the theme of this card.
