Cathy Caffeine by Karen Day

Hello Ai fans!
It's Karen with you today... featuring a fun Ai People stamp set that was released back in August:  Cathy Caffeine Sku#4327.  I have a real 'thing' for coffee themed cards, so using Cathy was a given for me, as soon as I saw her!  I've made two cards to share with you today, both using the same stamp and the same sketch/layout - but two totally different looks:

When I am stamping images that are to be coloured... I stamp a bunch!  Usually on both cream and white cardstock.  In this case, I picked out my background papers, and then sat down to colour them both at the same time.  And when I find a card design that works for a particular stamp set... I'll usually repeat it.  So even though the end results are quite different - you can see the similarities.  Here are some close ups of both Cathys:


Given my passion for coffee themed cards, I'm sure this won't be the last time you'll see me using this cute set!  Oh, and the inside sentiment reads: " Coffee...the most important meal of the day!"
Happy stamping everyone!

Coffee... by Kerry

Hello Ai friends and happy Monday!
Since it's beginning of the week, we all need some coffee, right?!  
I think Cathy Cafferine (SKU#4322) is totally perfect for the day.


Isn't Cathy Cafferine set adorable? And her BIG cup of hot java, YUM! 
Not to mention the fun sentiment.  Totally cool!
