Santa's Workshop interactive card featuring Art Impressions

 Hello AI fans!!

I hope you're having a good start to your week and that you enjoyed the weekend. I can't believe it's the last week in October and that Thanksgiving is right around the corner. Goodness, the year is just flying by! Art Impressions has had a few new releases recently, and last week they showed some beautiful new Christmas stamp sets! One of them, #5930 Santa's Workshop Set, is featured on my card today. I really wanted to make this be an interactive card and have Santa pop up from behind a snow bank to surprise all the busy elves! It took a little bit of work, but I was able to pull it off using the Lawn Fawn Let's Toast Pull Tab Add on.  I stamped all the images onto a Copic friendly paper and then die cut them with the included dies in the set. That little sign hanging on the lamp post came from 5488 Front Porch Easter Set! So don't forget to look through all your sets to find something fun to use. 

When you pull up on the tab, Santa pops out from behind the snow bank to say a big hello!! 

This was such a fun card to make. It did take a lot of hours to contruct it, but I thought the end result was definitely worth it. Thank you so much for stopping by for a visit today, and until next time - stay crafty!!

Love, Peace, and Joy Tres Chic challenge at Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans!

Happy Monday! I hope this finds you well and enjoying this wonderful fall weather! I always love it when I can turn off the air conditioning and open up the windows and doors to let that cool fall air into the house! It's getting quite chilly at night though, and we have gotten some good frosts and freezes here in Reno. You know I'm getting ready to ask you if you've entered the Tres Chic challenge going on right now, right? LOL!  You've got just a few more days to enter to win a free stamp set of your choice! So if you haven't entered yet, I urge you to do so! Who doesn't love getting what you want for free??!!  So I made this card for this challenge using the wonderful 5350 Animal Nativity Set, one of my favorite Christmsas stamp sets! I stamped the images onto Copic friendly paper and colored them with Copic markers which are listed below. To frame the scene, I used 5768 Decorative Journal Page Set 1. I love the lacy look. The paper is from 5812 Christmas S2 PP. See links to products used below. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today and until next time - stay crafty!!

Boo frame featuring Art Impressions!

 Hello AI Fans!!

It's getting pretty close to Halloween! Are you ready? Do you decorate for the holiday and hand out candy? I love it when all the littles come to the door all dressed up and excited to get some candy!! I even love it when the teenagers come a knocking! I love that they enjoy it and I want them to be kids for as long as they can. Adulthood comes soon enough, so enjoy the heck out of while you're there! So I had a lot of fun decorating up this frame and I confess I used a ton of different sets, but they're all linked below, so don't be shy to go click on them and check them out!! This was really a blast to put together!!

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

Brand new Woodland Bears Set from Art Impressions!!

 Hello AI Fans! 

Have you seen the brand new release from Art Impressions? Oh my gosh, I love every single thing! The Portfolio dies, the new papers, the Woodland Bears and Critters, so much goodness I can hardly stand it!! So today my card features this adorable bear and the sentiment is from the Woodland Critters! I stamped the images onto Copic friendly paper and then colored them with the markers which are listed below. It was amazing how quickly this card came together! I also used a gold glitter pen on the scarf so it looks like it has some gold thread going through it. Sorry it doesn't show up in the picture. I used the Copic blender pen on the sweater to give it some texture. Since the set comes with the dies, it made it super easy to cut the bear out and put him in the forest!! 

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