Art Impressions You're a Gem Challenge - you have a few days left to enter!

 Hello AI Fans!!

Have you entered the You're a Gem Challenge yet? If not, you still have a few more days left to enter for your chance to win an AI stamp of your choice! You also still have just a few days left to enter the color challenge for a chance to win a stamp and become a Guest Designer for Art Impressions for the month of March! How exciting is that??!! My cards today (I'm going to show you two) meets the You're a Gem Challenge to use some bling on your project. How fun!! 

The first card is a slimline card I made using three of the adorable critters from 5219 Lovable Animals Set. They're stamped with Memento ink and colored with Copic markers. I just added a little gem to each of the hearts they are all holding. The dies with this stamp set cut slits in their "hands" so they can hold a varitey of adorable pieces that come with the set. 

For my second card, I also used T5219 Lovable Animals Set.  I stamped and colored up these cuties a couple of years ago and never used them on a card. So I'm sorry I don't have a list of the Copic markers I used to color them. I used some sequins with this cutie, and a touch of Stickles. 

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

 Hello AI Fans!!

Have you seen the new Hot Air Balloons Set that was released last week? How fun!! If you've ever seen a hot air balloon race, you'll understand how wonderful it is to look up to a sky filled with these coloreful balloons! I've never been lucky enough to be able to ride in one, but I sure do enjoy them from the ground!! We have on in Reno every September, and the sight is truly wonderful! All images were stamped onto Cryogen white paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic markers. 

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

Showing the remainder of my Holiday cards from 2023 featuring Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans and Happy 2024!!

I sure hope all of you have had a wonderful start to the new year! I have a few more holiday cards that I haven't been able to show you yet, so thought now is the perfect time. It seems I never have time to show you everything before the Holiday arrives and it's over. So I'm cramming them all into one blog post. Hope you don't mind!  All of the images are stamped with Memento ink and colored with Copic markers. So here we go! 

For this first card, I used #5565 Cheers My Deers Set. I also used #5812 Christmas S2 Paper Pack

For this card, I used #5041 Snow Friend Set. I love how they spell JOY! 

This little cutie pup is from #4937 Santa Paws Set. I used Dr PH Martins Bleed Proof White on his fur. 

Who doesn't love Chubby Little Snowmen?  And that's exactly what this set is #5351 Chubby Snowmen Set

I made a little gift tag with the new set #5802 Joyful Snowman Set. I add a small tag on the back of it with my to and from.  That way, that little tag can be removed and the main portion can be used again in the future! 

And my final card used one of the adorable snowmen from #5802 Joyful Snowman Set and a tree from #5457 Christmas Truck Set and the sentiment is cut out with #5063 Rectangle double stitched dies. 

So that's it for me today!  Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit and until next time - stay crafty!!
