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!!

Copics used:

B91, R83, N1, Y06, Y17, YG11

YOU DID it! Happy Graduation!

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing the graduation card that I made for my nephew.

He graduated from Oswego last month.  They unfortunately didn't have a ceremony but my sister arranged for a drive-by parade for him that he really enjoyed!

I used the set called 5277 – Graduation Set.

Oswego's colors are green and gold so that's how I chose my color pallete.

Here he is!  He worked so hard and we're really proud!

He received his Bachelors in Broadcasting and Mass Communication with a minor in Sports Studies.

I decorated the inside with another image from the set as well as another sentiment.

I made a similar second version to keep on hand.

The owl and You Did it! were cut using

5062 – Rounded Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies

The 2020 is framed with 5133 – Flag Double Stitched Dies.

Copics used:

C00, C0, N2, Y28, Y35, YG45, E25, E27, E33, E53

Have a Pand-tastic day!

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a card I made using the sweet new set called

5113 – Pand-tastic Set.

This set is from the Funny Farm line which is one of my FAVORITES!!

I just love these little guys.  This set is so versatile and will appeal to so many different card recipients!

I also used

5062 – Rounded Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies.

I've had this black and white paper stack from My Minds Eye for a very long time and I thought this little guy would pair perfectly with it.

Loads of Fun! from Art Impressions

Hello Ai fans!

It's my turn to feature Art Impressions newest release.
Today I'm sharing the latest Work and Play set called
Loads of Fun.

The challenge this week is Shaped Cards and I decided to do a hexagonal easel card using 5135 – Hexagon Double Stitched Dies.

Also, on the inside I used 5064 – Circle Double Stitched Dies

and 5133 – Flag Double Stitched Dies.

I made a second card with another one of the images from the set.

I love dogs so much!  My dogs are both far too large to sneak into the laundry basket but I do occasionally catch them up on the couch where they know they don't belong!

Here's another of the cute verses from the set...and there are MANY!

Isn't he the sweetest?
