Happy Campers by Karen Day

Hello Ai fans!

I am sharing a card that I've made using one of the wonderful Ai clear stamp sets available through Michaels stores.  Ever since I first saw this set - I've envisioned it as a pop-up card, and have finally made it happen!  The set includes the four images that I've used, along with four sentiments. 

Isn't she fabulous?  You can tell she'll freely give out advice, when asked or not :o)  I cut one of the sentiments into a speech bubble shape to go with her.  Here's the inside:

I used a background die for the hillside, and manually cut out a chunk of the green to form a lake shape behind him.

I think this would make a great retirement card, or maybe a bon voyage card for someone setting off around the country.  Here's a picture to show you the little cutouts that I made in the green cardstock so that the images would stand up:

I added a little die cut shape to the inside, for a spot to write a message.  I think my bright and cheery colours would qualify it for our current Spring Colors challenge!  If you haven't already linked up your creation - there's still time.  Happy stamping!

Adorable Bunnies by Kerry

Hello Ai friends and happy Monday!

I can't believe April is just 2 days away and Easter is right around the corner.  I want to share a couple of cards using the Windows to the World Bunny in Tulips, First Bloom Windows, and the new Window die.  

For the front of the card, I embossed the background and cut out the center using the Window die.  And I only used the outer square portion. 

And here is another card using the new First Bloom Window stamp. 

 Thanks so much for stopping by today and have a great day!
