If you can't TONE it...TAN it!! by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

It may be Fall outside but a girl can dream.  With Art Impressions Tan It Set from the SHAKERS line it can be summer all year long!  

There are so many new Shakers including lots for the upcoming Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.  If you're not familiar with the Shaker stamps listen up!  They're interactive.  In this case you attach her little tushie to her using a WOBBLE and it shakes.

The beach lady comes with a verse too!

This is a second version that I made with her.

Sally Swimmer by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!!

Today I'm sharing a "just for fun" card.
I used Sally Swimmer who is part of the Art Impressions Ai People line.
Isn't she fun?!

With my pale skin and freckles I'm not much of a beach person but Sally sure seems to be enjoying her day in the sand and sun!

On the inside I used a verse called YouTube (Sku#H4260).

Hey Beach Booty! by Renee Matarese

Hello Ai Fans! 

Today I'm sharing a fun Shake Your Booty card with you.  I just love this gal!  There are two wobble sets on my card. 

 Beach Booty Set (Sku#4242)

 To The End Set (Sku#4243)

 Action Wobble 12 Pack (Sku#4266)

 The wobble springs are so cool.  They enable your image to bounce around on your card.

Isn't this a great card to give to a friend?

The verse is from the dog set but it works with pretty much any of the images.

Stayin' Afloat with the Girlfriends

Hello Ai Fans!
Today I have a fun summer birthday card and a tutorial for you.
I know easel cards have been around for a while but there are always new people discovery the fun world of card making who still want to learn!

I've used lots of fun images and verses from Art Impressions on my card.  The main image is from the Girlfriends line and it's from the Stayin' Afloat set.  The verse is called Waded.   The verse I used to hold the card open when it's popped up is called Deep End.

On the inside I stamped Happy Birthday.

Now, for those of you who don't know how to make an easel card here are my instructions.

1. Cut a 12" x 6" piece of navy paper and score it at 3" and 6".

2. Fold on score lines.

3. Cut a 6" x 6" piece of navy paper for the front, a 3" x 5 3/4" SKY piece, a 3" x 5 3/4" WATER piece and a 5 3/4" x 5 3/4" WATER piece for the inside.  Adhere them all to the front or inside of the card accordingly.

4. Stamp, color and cut out main image and wave piece. Reserve negative of the wave you cut if you want to use it on the inside portion like I did. (it will be tough to see in the photo since the colors are so close)

5. Adhere the girlfriends and waves using dimensional tape and stamp your verse on the front.

6. Cut and adhere clouds.

7. Stamp verse and cut out with die/punch. Place on dimensional foam tape.  This part will hold your
front up when it's open.
