I Find You Ribbiting

Hello Ai fans1

Today I'm sharing the card that I made for our current Highlights challenge.

We're using white gel pens and paint to add highlights to our projects.

I adore this frog set and thought it would be perfect for this challenge and this time of year.

Not everyone loves red for Valentine's Day. This yellow and black card may be non-traditional but the I Find You Ribbiting sentiment makes it a perfect Valentine.

The little frog on the sentiment tag looked like he was sleeping and floating when I first stamped him so I drew in a flower for him to hold and changed his eyes with my micron pen. I love the way it perked him up for this card.

We hope you'll join our Highlights challenge. You may just win a free stamp set.

Happy Birthday Down Under from Art Impressions!

 Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a birthday card that I made for a friend all the way in Australia!

I made a second card, slightly different, because Michelle deserves a one of a kind card!

I used the 5349 – Koalas Set from the Funny Farm series.

These koalas are just so darned cute and come with several fun sentiments.
I framed the main image with 5063 – Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies.

I also made a graduation card using the 5277 – Graduation Set.

My son's college colors were black and gold so the giraffe was perfect.

I cut the sentiment on the front of the card using the 5133 – Flag Double Stitched Dies.

Pelicans! from Art Impressions

Hello Ai fans!

Which bird can make me smile?  A Peli-can!

Sorry,  I had too!

Today I have two cards for you made with the 
5399 – Gull-Friends Set

This set is just so much fun!! 

It's from the Funny Farm series.

My second card is a swing card. 

You see the sentiment when it's closed from the front.

Then when you pull it open you can see the adorable pelican.

I used the Sail Mini Dies and some of the little 

stamp accessories from the set to accent it.

I'm going to say something that you probably won't believe...this is NOT my favorite Funny Farm set even though I can't stop making cards with it!  If it's possible I love the Doggy Kisses, Possums and Frogs even more.  

Grinny Pig thank you cards from Art Impressions!

 Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a card that I mass produced. Well, maybe not MASS...
I made 4 of them.

I've needed a lot of thank you cards lately and made these with the
adorable 5003 – Guinea Pig Out Set.

Google photos is so great in these situations. I looked up Guinea Pigs and found a color

combination that I liked.

Aging is not for chickens!

 Hello Ai fans!

Today I have two cards for you.
I used the AiCS40 – Spring Chicken Set.

It was my friend's birthday recently and she raises chickens and keeps
me supplied with eggs.  I thought she'd love this chicken.

I also used 5135 – Hexagon Double Stitched Dies to stamp

the chicken on.

Here's the inside of my card.

The tag was cut using 5132 – Tag Stitched Dies.

I just love this set and ALL the Funny Farm series!

My friend received the red one and I made the teal one to

keep on hand for my stash.

Ahoy there Birthday Gull!

Hello Ai fans!

My very sweet niece just turned 21 and I needed a card.  She's not your traditional 21 year old.  When asked what she wanted for her birthday?  Dinner and a night at a local casino with me, her mom, grandma and her other aunt!

 

The Funny Farm series at Art Impressions is one of my favorites!!

For her card I used the new 5399 – Gull-Friends Set.

I used several of the "stitched die" sets from Art Impressions.

5133 – Flag Double Stitched Dies

5062 – Rounded Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies

5065 – Oval Double Stitched Dies

I also used the gull from the 5325 – Sail Mini Dies.

On the inside I used one more stitched die...

5064 – Circle Double Stitched Dies

For those of you who are curious... my niece came out about $60 ahead!

We'll consider that a big, birthday win!!

You Are Top Koalaty!

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a couple of  Art Impressions Funny Farm cards with you.

My first couple of cards were made using 5349 – Koalas Set.

The little heart and stars are from 5317 – MB Template Dies.

This was a thank you for some co-workers that did some nice things for me.

I just love that adorable smile on his face.  It's how they made me feel! 

My next card uses 5283 – Frog Set.

I stamped the verse and the fly directly on the white paper.

The frog and mushroom were stamped, fussy cut and popped up for a 3-D effect.

Copics used on Koala:

C00, N2, W4, W5

On frogs:

Fabulous Ewe!

Hello Ai fans!

Did you see the new release a few days ago over at Art Impressions?

There are new Funny Farm sets!

I used Sheep Set.  This set has so many fun images and sentiments!

It also comes with dies so you don't need to waste time fussy cutting everything.

When you unwrap the rope on the door handle it 

reveals the sassy sheep inside the barn.

Every girl should have a set of heals like she does!  And of course...a crown!

My card goes along with the latest challenge at Ai.
