We're Still Hot...by Cheryl Valadez!

Hello Ai Fans!

I'm back today with more fun Girlfriend images...this time they're from the Picture Perfect Set (#4130).  This set comes with 3 fabulous sentiments that will certainly have you chuckling.  The one I've chosen today reads, "We're still hot, only now it comes in FLASHES"!  Hahaha!  I feel like Ai took a trip inside my mind when they came up with these Girlfriend stamps, because they are always right on the money!  







Visit the Art Impressions Shop for this set and TONS of other fabulous images!

Stay Crafty!

Valentines by Karen Day

Hello Ai fans!
I have two valentines to share with you today, using two of the newly released 2014 sets: Love and Chocolate Set (Sku#4367) and Wanna Share Set (Sku#4368):
Here is the Love and Chocolate set... I actually had the card completely assembled before I realized that I'd used the sentiment from Wanna Share (but it works perfectly with both images!).  The sentiment included with this set reads: "Here's to love and obscene amounts of chocolate!"


 
And here is Wanna Share:

I must say, that Valentine's Day is probably the only time I'll put pink & red together on a card - it's definitely the one time that it works!

There are six brand new Valentine sets and three new sentiments available in the Art Impressions shop - you can find them all here.  Happy stamping everyone!

Deco Set by Kerry

Hello Ai friends and happy Monday!

Today, I'm sharing two cards featuring the Ai Deco set #1.  It's a super fun and easy to assemble.  And no coloring is required.  Don't take me wrong, I love to color...  but I just love the fact that I can punch out the die-cut and adhere each layer with some foam dots, added some embellishments.
Viola, I'm done!

The set included two designs:  'At the Movies' and 'Beauty in Progress'.





Ready to join the Girlfriends at the Movies?







Or, how about some pampering at the salon? 




Hope you like them and have a great week!

Watercolor background by Marie

Hello Ai fans!!

Do you remember my blog post about CHA? I told you that one of the things that impressed me the most was the watercoloring effect with the Tombow markers. Well, at home I have every color of the Stampin'UP! markers. I would have been crazy not to try them out for this technique and look at the result!! 


The background was made by scribbling on a plastic square with a yellow and a pink marker. I then sprayed a little water with a mini mister and I flipped the plastic over and "stamped" with it on my background (with a mask over my stamped image. The yellow and pink mixed together to form some orange. I added one owl that I mounted with foam dots to give some dimension and I added a little banner and some sequins. Easy. :)








Hope I can inspire you a little with my card. :)
Happy stamping!
