Summer Themed Cards by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing two cards created for the Ai Summer Fun Challenge! 

My first card uses the 3577-Girlfriends Set and these friends are having a great time at the beach!

For the background, I used a cloud stencil to create the sky and Distress Oxide Ink and Copic Markers for the sand. The sentiment is included in the set and it's perfect for a birthday card! 

To complete this card, I added a layer of card stock and pretty tropical pattern paper to go with the beach scene.

The second card was created with  the cute 5473-Seagull Set, 5136-WC Sentiment Set 2, and the Norm Stamp (currently retired). I love all my Ai sets and enjoy mixing older stamps with new sets!

I hope you enjoyed today's projects and will participate in the Summer Fun Challenge!

Have a great weekend!

Seas the Day! by Reneé Matarese

 Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a summer themed card with you that I made using the 5455 – Birthday Buggy Set and the 5509 – Beach Accessories.

The Ai Rides series is so much fun because you can mix and match all of the sets to create just the theme you want.  

My card was made with the Art Impressions Summer Fun challenge in mind.

I also used 5399 – Gull-Friends Set for the verse, shell, starfish and of course the adorable seagull. 

I mean, what beach scene is complete without a seagull?

My mom's first car was a powder blue 65 VW Bug so I modeled my car after hers.

Copics used:
G24, G40, RV10, RV63, Y00, Y18, Y38, BG0000, BG02, BG10,
RV29, RV69, E40, E42, E97, N0, T2, C6

Show us what you've made Mercy...

 

Hello Crafty Friends....Happy Christmas in July once again, this is Mercy with a new challenge, Summer Fun! 

In today’s cards I used a very unique and fun set 4788, Tropical Christmas Set.

I created a tag on a card, it’s a great way to make a unique card. Simply create the tag and decorate as desired and then adhere to a card base. Pretty simple!

The second card is a slimline style card using the same set. The inspiration of the card is the same, Santa at the beach, with a few changes. 

I hope you all have a wonderful week and continue sharing your unique cards 

Take care! 

Thank you Mercy!  Your cards are so fun and festive.  Just perfect!

Yesterday Bonnie began her WC Christmas Journal series of tutorial videos. 

Though her journal tutorial is geared towards WC artists it can easily be made with Art Impressions

regular stamps and markers or colored pencils.  We know Janet is planning a Christmas Journal 

using Copic markers and Reneé  will be making one for a baby boy's first year.  You can find

the Journal dies HERE and hope you'll be inspired to create your own.

You can see photos from Bonnie's tutorial and link to her video HERE.

Enjoy your day and happy stamping!
