Cupcake BFF's

And here is the final card from the Ai BFF trio that I put together this week.  Scroll down to see all three together.  Here is Cupcake BFF:

 I used the same paper pad for all three (Summer Dreams by Echo Park) so that they would coordinate together nicely, and I love the warm, bright colours!

Coffee BFF's

Here is my second card using the Art Impressions BFF's... this is Coffee BFF's:

I loved this pretty ombre background paper, and wanted to show it off a little, so again I went with a larger 5" x 6 1/2" card.  Cardstock is Sunshine, Outdoor Denim & Colonial white by Close To My Heart.  Coloured with Copic markers.  Patterned paper is Summer Dreams by Echo Park.

Texting BFF's

I'm back with another Girlfriends card, but this week I've got three cards to share using the BFF's which are sort-of the younger version of the Ai Girlfriends.  Here is the first on using Texting BFF's:

It's a fairly large card: 5" x 6 1/2", mainly because I like to show off my patterned paper a little!  I also chose to do bold navy 1/8" mats, which worked better on the larger sized card.  I coloured the ladies up with Copic markers, and popped the sentiments up on pop dots.  My patterned papers are Summer Dreams by Echo Park.

One Crazy Stamper May Challenge

It's the start of a new month, and another challenge on the One Crazy Stamper blog.  This month's challenge is "Anything Goes" + an embellishment!  I'm using one of the fun new BFF stamps from Art Impressions - called Cupcake BFF, and I chose glitter as my embellishment.  Here she is with some Chilled Cucumber Soup papers:

The sentiment says:  "A Special Treat for Someone Sweet".  It's a fairly large card, 5"x 6 1/2", and I've popped her up on some pop dots.  Here's a closeup:

 

You can use any stamped image that you like for the challenge (no digis please!) and be sure to add at least one embellie to your project.  Head on over to the OCS Design Team blog to see what the rest of the Design Team has to show you.

The Art Impressions Design Team is hopping today to launch Ai's newest line called "BFF's".  These are WONDERFUL - they are pretty much like the girlfriend sets, but maybe a little younger and a little hipper.  I'm featuring Coffee BFF's (Sku#4407). 

Here's a closeup of the sentiment and the cute little coffee mug die cut that I put with it.  The set includes a second sentiment which reads "you always keep me grounded":
