of course I love you... by Diane Zechman

Hello Ai friends and happy Monday!

 

Today I am sharing a card using one of the Ai Valentine sets. Here I used the 4215- Tina Set to make a fun, witty valentine that I'm pretty sure a lot of us can relate to. Ha! Ai has a great selection of valentine stamps... from sweet to funny. There's something for everyone! Be sure to check them out.

 

This image is a great size! With the added sentiment on the main panel, I kept the layout simple and just added a die cut "topper". To jazz it up a bit, I paper pieced her dress and balloon, then added some Stickles to the hearts on her dress. I finished it off with a few Nuvo drops.

 

Have a great Monday and… happy stamping!

 

Of Course I Love You!

Hello Ai Fans!

Valentine's Day is right around the corner and Art Impressions has some really cute Valentine's Day stamps! I made these super cute cards using the Tina Set (sku #4215). I went "out of my box" and made a 4 x 5 1/2" card. I tend to usually make 5 1/2" square cards but thought this was the perfect size for what I had in mind.

These cards were quick and easy to put together! I popped up Tina with foam squares to add a bit of dimension to these cards. I have to admit.....I messed up the balloon on the card on the right. So rather than just throw out my image I decided to paper piece the balloon instead. Shhhh... no one will ever know!

I love this sentiment and it comes included in the Tina set.

Happy Stamping!
