Another year ,another wrinkle by Crystal

Hello Ai Fans !!
It's Crystal here and today I wanted to make you a card using the Wollowing Pig  SKU # M1188 and thought I should make him into a birthday card .


This pig is so cute  , I wanted to surround him with handmade flowers I made from die cuts , I added alot of layers and machine stitched each layer to add lots of interest.My papers are from My Minds Eye Hattie collection , I love to use little  6x6 paper pads to make cards , the prints are sized down and that makes then perfect for card making .

inside my card I continued the theme
my copics used :

Flick Chicks !!

Hello Ai Fans !!
It's Crystal here and today's card was made using At the Movies sku# 4237, I totally love these new girlfriend stamps and they are so fun to create my cards with .


this card is layered with fun , I embossed tickets in background with clear embossing powder .. TIP :this ticket stamp is a wheel from SU , I hate the wheels so I un mount them and add cling mount to them to make them flat , you get a perfect stamp that way .. try it , they come off real easy ..
next I color my girls with these copic colors

I cut my letters from a die  and spelled out MOVIE NIGHT , I made this into an easel card , now for the fun .. I used clear plastic packaging from embossing folders and created the illusion of floating stars , the clear strips were cut in 1/4" wide and very in length laid out my star sticks  added stars to tips of sticks and then used TH tiny attacher to hold them in place , I popped my girls up on big glue dots over the clear  stems ( on open center stars I punched bigger clear stars and attached them to that as a base )
now when I open my Easel card the stars are floating above my girls
my ticket inside was an embossing folder and I used coordination card stock and sanded the raised images and added a few silver glitter stars inside my card , I pop this up on foam tape

Front door of America !!!

Hello Ai Fans !!
It's Crystal here and today I have a fun card that depicts the front door of America.I am using the Ai door sku # UN3386 and the June / July doorways sku# CS-3374.

 To make this card here is how ...
I have a white card base A2 in size , I cut a 4 1/4" by 5 1/2' red layer (Bazzill 2-245 Phoenix ) and then made large scallop stips and from bottom to top layered them on

flip card over and trim off over hang
next I stamp my door and the images I want to use and color them with copics and fussy cut and then adhere with glue dots to front

check out the boots I made them camo spotted  ,  IN MY HEAD ... I am sure a military family lives here with great pride

inside my card I stamped the banner at the top stamped my sentiment and created a band at the bottom with left over scallops and a strip of blue paper and punched out stars , I added diamond stickles all over this card to bling it up ..
my marker colors I used

Ai June/July doorways # CS-3374 Ai door UM3386 Stickles Copic markers Bazzill 2-245 phoenix Papertrey Ink lg scallop border die
