Fun w/ Fashionistas Birthday Card!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Let’s have some fun today playing with one of my favorite “Girlfriends” sets! We will be using the Ai Uptown Girls Set (4129) which comes with these four wonderfully fashionable ladies and some coordinating sentiments!

If you are not familiar with the “Girlfriends” sets you may want to take a look at some of the others that are available including the Gardening Girlfriends, Crazy Friends, Cheers My Deers, Friends Forever and so many more! I will give you the link in the description box and you can just type “Girlfriends” in the search bar and all of these wonderful sets will come up!

To get started we can die cut the largest die from the Ai Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Die Set (5063) and then stamp and color our little ladies using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Flesh Colour, Sugared Almond Pink, Dk Pink, Yellow, Orange, Haze Blue, Lt Blue, Ice Blue, Lt Gray, Warm Gray 4, Dk Gray, May Green, Green, Brown, Beige, Mid Brown.

To add some additional interest and detail to the ladies’ outfits we will add some Wink of Stella Clear Glitter and some polka dots, and highlights with a white gel pen.

To set the scene, we will use a combination of pretty blue inks and for the stencil we will use the Lawn Fawn Draped Ribbon Stencil! Once the stenciling is done, we will spatter the darkest blue ink onto the cardstock before we remove the stencil. This will give a pretty look to our sky!

Next, let’s die cut three fences from the Ai WC Arbor Set (5363) from some black 100lb cardstock.

We will also add a cobblestone walk using the Ai WC Cobblestone Set (5018) onto some gray 100lb cardstock. We can tear the top of the panel, stamp the cobblestone walk, add some shadowing with a gray marker, and add some ink around the edges of the panel to tie everything together.

Before we begin the assembly let’s stamp a sentiment for the front of the card using this same stamp set and then a few sentiments for the inside of the card using the Ai Birthday Sentiments Set (5735) or the Ai Mini Birthday Sentiments Set (5866) or a combination of the two.

Now we will quickly assemble the card and as a finishing touch we will sprinkle on some pretty iridescent gems!

Re-imagining your Matchbook Dies!

Happy Wednesday Ai Fans!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

We are going to have some fun today by re-imagining the Ai Matchbook Template Die Set (5317). We are going to use the Matchbook card base, however, for the images we will be using the Ai Honey Bee Set (5925) which includes the most adorable little bees, hives, flowers, honeycomb and the cutest coordinating sentiments.

This card was inspired by the current Ai “Case that Card” Blog Challenge! The term “case” is to “copy and share everything”. This is a great way to get a card idea that can be used as your inspiration to create your own version of this idea. This is especially helpful if you are in a creative slump…this can help to get your creative juices flowing again.

So, I would like to thank our very own Design Team Member, Renee for this fantastic “out-of-the-box” idea! When I saw the adorable little village scene that she created using the matchbook template die set, I wished I had thought of it myself…lol! I thought I would honor her by creating this “bee” version because I know that she loves bee themed cards!

Take a look at Renee’s sweet matchbook scene that inspired today’s card:

So, let’s begin by stamping, die-cutting, and coloring all of the images that we will be using today. All of the coloring was done using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Flesh Colour, Tear Rose, Bright Yellow, Scarlet Red, Geranium Red, Yellow, Haze Blue, Green Gray, Beige, Mid Brown, Cool Gray 6.

Using a heavyweight black cardstock, let’s also die-cut a pretty fence using the Ai WC Arbor Die Set (5363).

Let’s set these aside while we build the matchbook base using the Ai Matchbook Template Die Set (5317) and some pretty patterned paper from the Easter S2 Paper Pack (5892). We will use this same paper to create the coordinating envelope using the Ai Envelope Template Die Set (5318). I’ll show you exactly how to quickly and easily die-cut and fold the matchbook and envelope in today’s video.

Next, we can add all of our adorable images, including the fence and add a few sweet sentiments from this same set. I saved one of the bees for the back of the envelope….so cute!

For a finishing touch, let’s add some Wink of Stella Clear Glitter to the wings of the bees and add some highlights with a white gel pen!

Please join us in this fun new blog challenge! We would absolutely love to see what you create!
