"Show Your Bow" Handmade, Dyed or Uniquely Tied Art Impressions challenge

Hi everyone! Renee here and today I'm sharing a card made with the wonderful Up and Away image. This is a LIMITED EDITION and is only available until May20th.  That means you have just a few more days to get your hands on it!  All proceeds go to the Obediah Fund, which will support Open Arms Internationals Kambi Teso outreach in Eldoret, Kenya.  Your purchase will help build a school.

Since this week's challenge is all about bows I made a fancy bow for my card.  I've included a basic tutorial if you want to give it a try.  (see below)

Now that the Girlfriends have taken to the air...nothing can stop them.

The darker blue gingham ribbon is 12" long and the lighter colored one is 17" long.

Keep in mind that all of these measurements can be altered depending on how big you want your bow.

The organdy ribbon is 12" as is the solid blue.

After laying out the ribbons you want in your bow just tie the main ribbon around the rest.

On the inside of my card I used two Ai phrases...

Heavenly Bodies (Sku#I2369)

and

 Fabulous You (Sku#G2987)

I stamped the balloon image several times so I could add dimensional layers.

Here's a close up of my bow.

Shoppers Pop Ups

Hello Ai Fans!
Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there!
Today I'm sharing one of the new Ai Pop Ups sets. 

This one is called Ai Deco Set 2 (Sku#4236).

 

These sets are so much fun because of all the dimension they create.  There are so many layers that the card just pops right out at you!

I chose this set for today because I like to think that these are 4 moms out treating themselves to a fun day.  Don't we all deserve that once in a while?

When you open my card this is what you see on the inside left.  It's the back of the ladies on the front.

 Here's the right side of the inside.

Here's a shot of all the layers.  Pretty cool huh?

These kits are well labeled and easy to use.  Great for beginners or experts.

 Thanks for stopping by!

 

Nursing School Congratulations!

Hello everyone!!

Today I'm sharing a card that my friend asked me to make. 

She works for the county in early intervention childhood services and they have an intern that is leaving because she got accepted to nursing school.

She asked for a card that the girls in the office could give her.

Who better to send her off to nursing school than NURSE STELLA!!

Isn't she a riot!

The school colors are green, white and black which is why I chose this paper.  I also found as I was flipping through my paper pads that I had this tan polka dot paper that looked like a band-aid.  I debossed it with my Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder, used a corner rounder on the corners and I voila!  I had a band-aid.

This would also make a great get well card don't you think?

I kept the inside simple to give them room to sign and personalize the card.
