Lake House Cards by Tasha

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing two cards created with the pretty Boat Window Accessory Stamp Set (#5409). 

This stamp set includes the boat house scene and a little boat image with a coordinating die. You have the option to just use the scene stamp as is, stamp and cut out the boat image, or stamp the boat directly into the scene. Being able to add or remove the boat allows you to really personalize your design.

I stamped all the images with black hybrid ink and used Copic Markers for the coloring. I like having little stars in the sky, it makes me think of being up north in WI.

My second card uses the stamp alone without the boat. I also used different colors and added more white gel accents. It's fun to mix up the color combinations! I think this scene would also look nice with Fall colors; I may need to try that out next!

To complete both cards, I added layers of card stock and glitter paper before attaching them to a card base.

I hope you enjoyed today's projects!

Hello Friend Card by Tasha

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing a card created for the Ai Squared Challenge using the new Bridge Window Accessory Set and Shadowbox Window Die Set! 

This window die set makes a wonderful card front to show off the beautiful bridge scene. I added a piece of plastic against the back of the window and attached the little bridge image. The squared paper layers were cut with the Square Double Stitched Dies; the stitched border adds so much detail to the layers!

The little scene was attached to the inside of the card and colored with watercolor markers. I love the friendship sentiment and little flower!

Lastly, I used the Hello die to cut the word from glitter paper for sparkle and added three enamel dots to complete the card. 

I hope you enjoyed today's project and will participate in the Ai Squared Challenge!

Have a wonderful day!

Some Bunny Loves You by Carol Hintermeier

Happy Monday Ai fans!  Today I have a sweet square card that would be great to send to a family member or a friend.  I've used the so sweet Easter Blessings Set for my card today.  There are three other images in the set, two of which could be used for any other occasion besides Easter!

I stamped the image in Copic safe ink and colored it with my markers.  I used a white gel pen to add dots to the flower stamens and centers.  Next I die cut it with a Square Double Stitched die and layered it onto some blue gingham paper.  This was adhered to a die cut scallop square.

I stamped the sentiment with black ink in the upper left corner.  I adhered the panel to a top folding 4-1/8" top folding card base.  The overall size of this sweet card is 4-½" square.

Thank you very much for stopping by today!  Have a wonderful, craft week!

GF Christmas Set by Karen Day

Hello Ai fans!

Don't you just love it when a new Ai Girlfriends stamp comes out??  I do - and this is such a fun one for the holidays.  Here is GF Christmas Set (Sku #4938):

 I adore all things plaid, especially for Christmas - so I used this sweet Lawn Fawn paper as my starting point by pulling out the green & teal colours, then picked a few other warm tones to finish colouring the image with Copic markers.  I kept the layout fairly simple by just using a circle die for the image, matting it, then adding a popped up sentiment and a few enamel dots to jazz it up.  Happy stamping!
Copics used: E11, E00, E000, E34, E31, E53, E51, E50, R37, R35, R32, R30, BG18, BG15, BG11, YG05, YG03, YG01, YG00, Y26, Y23, C5, C3, C1, C00

Flaunt It Set by Karen Day

Hello Ai fans!

I have a wacky Girlfriends card for you today, using one of the recently released sets - here is Flaunt It Set (Sku# 4756):

 I wanted a little glimmer, so after colouring the image with Copic markers, I added some Wink of Stella to the tiara, hatband, glasses and hair tie.  I popped the sentiment up with pop dots and added my favourite enamel Gum Drops!

 There are three sentiments in the set, and I used another one on the inside, with a pair of glasses that I die cut from some brown glitter paper:
