Giraffe Set by Karen Day

Hello Ai fans!

Now, if you're a scrapbooking Mom who has taken your kids to the zoo... chances are you have some giraffe patterned paper kicking around... (raise your hands, you know who you are!). So when I sat down to make today's card, I thought hmmm... and sure enough, I had not one, but two pieces of giraffe patterned paper! He was so much fun to colour - here's what I came up with using Giraffe Set (Sku #4190):

A short and sweet post from me today! There is still time for you to enter our Take a Peek challenge - you can find that post here. Happy stamping everyone!

Chatting Whoots Birthday by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing an old favorite. Actually, they're not all that old but I haven't used any of them in a while. I was totally hooked when Art Impressions released the Whoots line. These little owls are so adorable!

I've used Chatting Whoots Set and Little Whoot on my birthday card.

(Copic colors: Y26, Y28, Y35, E29, E30, E35, E41, E57, E81)

The verse with this set is so cute.
Another birthday...it'll only HOOT a little!

Challenge 131 -"Take A Peek" Mini Front & Back Blog Hop

Hello Ai Fans!

Welcome to week two of our 'Take a Peek' challenge! This week, we'll be hopping through our designers for some wonderful inspiration from our team!

We're featuring our newest release, Mini Front & Backs!

That's right! We have FIVE new Mini Front and Back sets!

These little sets are so fun and have endless possibilities on how you 'peek' them through cards.

So to kick off our fun launch, our challenge this week is 'Take a Peek!'

For this challenge, we're looking for window or something opening to see to the inside of your card. For our Mini Front & Back stamps, we use a 1 1/4" or 1 1/2" square or circle, but you can use any sort of shape you would like! I love cutting up cards for my Minis on my Silhouette, makes it SO easy!

Our DT Karen Day has brought to you TWO fabulous cards!

We're excited for these new releases and excited to see your fun cards this week! Make sure to stop back next week for our fun blog hop and some more fun announcements!
