Have a Bee-utiful Day Card by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing a bee-themed card created with the new 5561-Birds and Bugs Set and 5566-Christmas Sentiments Set!

The 5561-Birds and Bugs Set includes several little stamps, but I adore the bees! I stamped all three bee images with black hybrid ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I also like that each bee is different!

For the background, I stenciled a sunburst design with two shades of yellow ink and attached a little bee hive. I used markers to color a simple hive and glued a white enamel heart to the center. 

Lastly, I added layers of black card stock and a pretty floral paper. I also stamped "A Gift For You" from the 5566-Christmas Sentiments Set to complete the design.

Thank you for visiting the blog today and I hope you are inspired to create a card with the new 5561-Birds and Bugs Set and 5566-Christmas Sentiments Set!

Have a great day!

Happy Vibes Card by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing a new card featuring the fun 5458-Llama Set and 5187- Happy Trails Set!

I started by stamping the little llama image and colored her with markers. I love this stamp set, but hadn't used this little stamp yet. This stamp is small, but so cute! 

To create the scene, I stenciled a bright orange spotlight and colored a ocean-themed background with markers. I also added a palm tree from the 5187- Happy Trails Set! It's fun to mix and match your sets and think of new ways to use your stamps!

Lastly, I stamped "Happy Little Moments" in a coordinating orange ink before attaching layers of orange, blue and blue marble paper. These colors are so warm and this card just makes me smile!

I hope you enjoyed today's project and are having wonderful day!

Warm and Cozy by Mercy Sauer

 HELLO Ai FRIENDS!  

Mercy here and welcome back!

 

I love the month of April, the colors, the weather, the cuddly critters we tend to use during this month to create our cards, and this posting is no exception. 

Look how cute! 

I said it in a prior posting, this stamp set is amazing. Honestly, this is a perfect example why I love Ai. The artwork is unreal, and the dies! trimming to perfection with hardly any outline. I love it. I genuinely feel the warmth and sweetness when I look at this card. Cheesy, I know, but true. 

I chose watercolors because I find them easier and faster than Copics plus the texture and color of the paper works perfectly with this set. I also wanted a background without taking away from the cute koalas, so I opted for eucalyptus leaves in the same color as the background.

To complete the whole vibe, I added one of the koalas from the set on the inside of the card.

Hope today’s posting rouses your senses and steer you to find warmth and happiness in your own art 

Until next time, happy crafting
