Fire Out Set (and a cool bag) by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a something extra fun with you!!  

I recently got a We R Memory Keepers Gift Bag Punch Board and couldn't wait to use it!!
I figured it'd be perfect to make a birthday gift bag so I paired it with Art Impressions Ai People Fire Out Set 4371.  

I just love this image and verse!  


My bag measures 2 1/2" x 6".  You can adjust the height but not the width.  (at least the directions say you can't but I know some creative person out there will figure out a way to manipulate it!)

Copics used:
Y35, W1, W3, T5, B23, B24, B60, BG0000,
BG02, BG10, BG13, BG15, BG90, R22, R46,
RV29, E02, E35, E40, E50, E51, E93, E97

Blanche by Sherry Eckblad

Hello Ai Fans!

Sherry, here today sharing a card I created using one of my favorite "Golden Oldies" Blanche. The sentiment on this card is from the Party Girls set.

It's HOT and HUMID here in Minnesota and this is exactly how I leave the house when heading to the lake.

Chatting Whoots! by Karen Day

Hello Ai fans!
I have a square card for you today, using Chatting Whoots (Sku #4126).  All of the Whoots sets make such sweet birthday cards, and they're fairly quick to colour up!
I went bright!  And yes, I may have used a little artistic license with the fellow on the right... but hey, when you're the cardmaker, you call the shots, right?

Here's the message on the inside:

There is still time to enter our "Show Off Your Sentiment" challenge, you can link up your creation here.
Happy stamping, everyone!
