Hello Ai Fans! It's Jane with a bit of a different card for you today. It celebrates sport with a graphic style. It features the new 5510 Sport Accessories Set. I used it to make a black and white pattern on the upper portion of the panel. It's very easy to do this with a stamp positioner. Just place the small stamps in staggered positions and you get an instant background. I added pops of color by doodling in little red hearts. I love doodling like this. It adds a personal touch and it looks great too.
I also used the letters from 5072 Block Letters Die Set to spell the word Sport. I added a sport themed border using a punch and the sentiment is from 5107 Warthog Flip Card. The final touches are a strip of bling and another cutout megaphone from the the Accessories Set to highlight the front.
This is a perfect card to give someone for winning the big game, for having a great year in a sport, or to give special appreciation for a coach. It could even be used as a birthday card for a sports fan.
Thanks for stopping by today. I hope I inspired you to try something different with your Ai Stamps. It's great fun!

Hello Ai fans!
I am here today making a flip card with the new Ai Flip Card Die and one of the new coordinating stamp set called Sloth Flip Card. The back of the insert of the Flip Card Die does a wonderful job explaining the die and where to place the die for cutting.
I taped my card down to my pat so it was even and then I taped my die to my paper. It is important to make sure the die is above the 3.25 mark or your card will fold short.
As you can see it cuts it along with a scored mark for folding. That is pretty much it for the card base. Easy peasy right?? Now on to the fun part decorating our card.
I cut two pieces of kraft paper to the specifications above. This way it fits perfect with a small frame around it.
I colored my sloths with Copics and cut them out with my Scan N Cut. I stamped my Thank you once in the middle and then stamped off the other two to give them a lighter view. I added a thin stripe of gold glitter card stock along with a black and white stripped piece. I took that same paper and cut a tiny piece to add to my sentiment block to offset it. I glued everything and added a few gold gems to finish off the front of the card.
For the inside I did pretty much the same just a different view. Isn't it adorable that the stamp has the back sides of the sloth as well? I did add a strip of black and white to the top so it was not so plain.
Here is the side view so you can see it is still the size of an A2 card and will fit in a standard A2 envelope.
Here I am showing a back view so you can see how the flip action works. Doesn't it pack a big punch without a lot of effort with making the card?
Once again here is the finished card.Thank you so much for stopping by and I cannot wait to see what you have created using the Flip Card dies and stamps.
Until next time ... Hugs & inky fingers!
Copics used:

E21, E23, E25, E27
