Art Impressions All A-Buzz Challenge

 Hello AI Fans!

Hope you all are staying cool in these hot summer days! I'm here today with a card I made for the All A-Buzz challenge that's going on right now. Have you entered it yet? If not, you still have time to get a project done! I used the new 5925 Honey Bee Set and I am in love!! This set is so amazing and has soooo many stamps and it also comes with dies!!! Daisies are my favorite flower, so when I saw the daisies and dies in this set, I was so happy!! As you can see, I kind of went overboard with them, LOL! I had to be nice and threw a few sun flowers in there too. :)  I created the sunshine background with a stencil from my stash and some distress inks. I also added a couple layers of grass to ground all the flowers and beehive. And these adorable bees!!! Can you even handle it??!! LOL! I topped it off with a pot of honey and a bow (lol).  The images were stamped onto alcohol ink friendly paper and then colored with Copics which are listed below. 

Thank you so much for stopping by for a visit today! Until next time - stay crafty!!

Fairy grateful for you featuring Art Impressions!

 Hello AI Fans!

I have another magical card for you today. This time I used the Ta Da Diorama base for my fun, magical card. I love this die as it helps me easily create a wonderful diorama featuring all the amazing and magical images from Art Impressions! I used the Fairies from #5915 Woodland Fairies Set, that AMAZING shoe is from #5935 Fairytale Houses Set, and that gorgeous paper is from 5939 Fairy Garden PP!! The images were all stamped onto alcohol ink friendly paper and then colored with Copic markers which are listed below. This one is really hard to get good pictures of to show all the amazing dimension, so I hope you don't mind the ton of pictures I took to try and show you. But I LOVE that it folds flat for mailing! 

I put a butterfly onto a piece of acetate so it looks like it's floating about the Fairy's head and that's what she is looking at. 

Thank you so much for stopping for for a visit today, and until next time - stay crafty!

Happy Birthday featuring Art Impressions Hats Off Miss Set

 Hello AI Fans!

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! As you can see, I took a totally different approach to the Stars and Stripes Challenge that is going on right now. I decided not to go the patriotic red, white, and blue. I love to celebrate the 4th of July like other Americans, but this time I wanted to approach the challenge in a different way. So I chose a striped paper from the beautiful assortment of papers in #5873 Mini Birthday Journal Paper Pack and then grabbed a star balloon from another set, and used 5404 Miss Set from the Hats Off line. I ADORE that hat!!!  I stamped the images and colored them with Copic markers which are listed below.

Stay fabulous and carry a big tumbler featuring brand new Art Impressions!!

 Hello AI Fans!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend and celebrated all the wonderful Fathers in your life! I have a card today that features the adorable brand new set #5928 Stay Hydrated! How fabulous is she??!! I love that there are a lot of different skins you can use for your tumbler, and she is just amazing! LOVE her!! Because I used the paw print skin on the tumbler, I decided she needed a little fur baby beside her. So I grabbed the Dog House Cubbies and used the little pooch from that set. I made a simple little scene by making a sky using a cloud stencil and some Distress Oxide ink. Grabbed a piece of polka dotted paper to create the grass with a die from my stash, and then just plopped her on top! Voila! It really was a pretty quick card to make. The images are stamped onto Copic friendly paper using the Misti and then colored with markers which are listed below.

Seas the Day featuring Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans! 

I hope you enjoyed your weekend and it was full of fabulous weather! For those of you lucky enough to either live close enough to, or were able to visit the beach, I'm totally jealous! LOL! I had a fun time coloring up this colorful car from #5455 Birthday Buggy Set from the line of Rides at Art Impressions. And instead of using all the Birthday stamps that comes with it, I chose to grab #5509 Beach Accessories set. I might have given away my age by the way I colored it. LOL! Who remembers all the cute bugs around the 60's and 70's with flowers painted on them? I couldn't resist, so I grabbed #5739 as it had the perfect sized flowers for the car door. For the sentiment, I used #5399 Gull Friend Set. I started by stamping all the fun images onto Copic friendly paper and then colored them with Copic markers which are listed below. I created a beach scene by just grabbing some dies from my stash.

I'm here for the party featuring Art Impressions!

 Hello AI Fans!

Happy Memorial Day! If you're so inclined, I hope you  take a moment to say a prayer for all of our fallen soldiers that paid the ultimate price so that we may enjoy the freedoms that we cherish. I personally thank every one of them and their families for their service and sacrifice. 

My card today is a fun one featuring the adorable Llama Set. They are so dang fun, and they definitely look like they are here for the party! I stamped the fun image onto alcohol ink friendly paper and colored it with Copic markers which are listed below. I then cut it out using AI's Nested Circle Dies. The fun sentiment which fits them so well is from the Never Too Old Laugh Lines Set, and the fun confetti swirls are from the Harvest Journal Die Set. The links to all the sets I used are listed below. Just click on the picture of it and it will take you right to the AI shop! The sun and balloon dies are from my stash. I also added lots of Stickles, so it works for our current challenge, All That Glitters. 

  

That's it for me for today! Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit! Until next time - stay crafty!!
