Boo! A Halloween card featuring Art Impressions

 Boo!

LOL!  Did I scare you? Today my card features the adorable new 5816 Mini Halloween Twister Set. I put three of them on the front of the card and love how the three of them look together! Then I decorated all around them using some other awesomely spooky dies from Art Impressions. I used 5849 the new Halloween paper pack from AI, that awesome tree is from 5487 Front Porch Halloween Set, 5462 Web Dies Set for the spider webs, spiders, and that awesome pumpkin by the fence, 5333 Cat Mini Dies for the cat on the fence, and 4967 WC Fence Dies.

Happy Birthday Dori!! featuring Art Impressions

Hello AI Fans!


I've got a fun birthday card to show you today featuring #4382 Giant Cake Set. I made it for one of my BFF's that also has a September Birthday! This is one of my all time favorite Girlfriends images, although I don't think there is a single Girlfriend Set that isn't one of my favorites. LOL!  I stamped the image onto Cryogen white paper and colored it with Copic markers which are listed below. I added some balloon die cuts from my stash and added a cute little bow. I used quite a bit of 3M mounting tape to pop up both the image and the balloons for lots of dimension.

 Hello Art Impressions Fans!!

Stamptember is here, and so is the Art Impressions exclusive set that is available only while supplies last at Simon Says Stamp!! It's always such an exciting month with all the new releases for Stamptember, but my favorite is always Art Impressions! I hope you love her as much as I do!! Isn't she fantastic??!!! 






The AI Design Team really outdid themselves with this image!! There are so many spectacular examples of this adorable stamp set! Bonnie truly knocked it out of the park with this one!!

If you want her, I suggest you run to Simon Says Stamp to get her.  I believe she will sell out fast, and once she's gone, she's gone forever! It will NOT be restocked. So don't miss out! Thanks for stopping by for a visit and until next time - stay crafty!!

Happy BAAAday to Ewe!! Featuring Art Impressions

Hello AI Fans!!

I've got a tag for you today that I made for the Tag You're It Challenge going on right now on the Art Impressions blog! I love making tags, and they elevate a package or gift bag to the absolute next level, don't you think? If you know me, you know how much I love whimsical, bright, fun projects, so that's usually the way I lean when I create. For this tag, I used 5132 Tag Stitched Dies (I cut three of them and glued them together so the tag would be nice and sturdy), 5398 Sheep Set, 5346 Birdhouse Cubbies (for the bird flying to the right), 5100 Woodland Tree Cubbies (for the bird flying to the left), and 4967 WC Fence Dies. The images are stamped onto Cryogen paper and then colored with Copic markers (the markers I used are listed below).  I inked the background with distress inks, added a sun with a few clouds and called her done!

Sending love featuring Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans! 


My card today is showing you how I used the Sending Love Cubbies, and I really love how this one turned out. I don't know how many of you are old enough to remember there used to be mail boxes all over town. It's one of those things that just slowly disappear, kind of like telephone booths. LOL! I'm really dating myself! Anyway, I wanted to show this fun mailbox just absolutely overflowing with joy for the birthday recipient! So I just stamped, colored, and die cut a whole bunch of the accessory stamps that come in this set. I also added a few little birds from the Birdhouse Cubbies Set that are delivering more goodies.
