Make a Wish featuring Art Impressions Stamps and Dies

 Hello AI Fans!

I just love the whimsical fairies and houses that Bonnie has blessed us with this year! I used them again today along with the amazing 5902 Mini Scalloped Frame Dies. I stamped the images onto Copic friendly paper and then colored them up with the markers listed below.  All the products I used are listed below. You can just click on the product and it will take you right to it in the shop!!  This was so much fun to decorate, and I love that it's small enough to brighten up a little area on your desk or anywhere else. I wanted to add a layer of grass on the front, so I just used the Scalloped frame to cut out a piece of green and cut it along the scored edges. I then cut it again with my grass die and then simply glued it to the front of the frame. 

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

Who can wish you the happiest of birthdays? A Pelican!! featuring Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans!

Oh my gosh, I can't believe we are already half way through September already!! You've got a couple more days to join our challenge Not Just Paper!  My card fits right in with that challenge. I used the awesome 5399 Gull-Friends Set. This set is so much fun, and the images fit perfectly into the Lawn Fawn Magic Picture Changer die set. Just pull up the tab and the picture magically changes. I was inspired by Design Team sister and bestie Dori Mendiola. You can see her card HERE.  

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

Art Impressions Exclusive stamp set with Simon Says Stamp for Stamptember!!

 Hello AI Fans!! 

I'm not sure if you've seen yet, but if you haven't, the last time I checked you can still buy it! Art Impressions has an exclusive stamp available ONLY while supplies last at Simon Says Stamp Stamptember event!  The stamp set with the dies have already sold out, but the stamp only is still available if you hurry!! It's SSE24A Sweet Bday Set and it features two Girlfriends on it! This set is sooooo adorable! I can see myself using it over and over again!! Here's the card I created with this amazing set! I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Copic friendly paper and then colored them with the Copic markers listed below. The paper is just a digital paper I found and purchased on line. Lemon filled donuts are my favorite, so I just HAD to add some lemon icing in there! LOL! 

I hope you're able to get your set while it's still available!! Remember that this is an exclusive set for Simon Says Stamp, so it will never be available again once it's gone!!! If you miss out on it, you'll have to wait and hope someone ends up wanting to sell their set! I can't wait to see all the gorgeous creations you all are going to make with this!

Praise Him featuring Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans!

Today I have a card that features several beautiful sets from Art Impressions. I started by stamping 5269 Wood Frames Set onto a Copic friendly paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Using my Misti, I lined up 5130 On the Sparrow Set and stamped that inside the frame. I then colored the images using my Copic markers listed below. Once I had that finished, I grabbed 5909 Crosses Die Set and layered two of them together to get the look I was going for. The beautiful pattern papers are from 5835 Mini Journal paper pack. For the finishing touch, I added a bow from twine. I really like how this came together, I hope you do too! 

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

Road Trip featuring Art Impressions Stamps and Dies

 Hello AI Fans!

There's a new challenge going on right now called Never Have I Ever. We are asking you to use a stamp or die that you've had and never used.  I don't know how long I've had 4932 Pack Your Bags Set and 4931 Road Trip Set, but this is the very first time I've ever used them. Unreal! I stamped them onto Copic friendly paper with Memento Tuxedo black ink and then colored them with Copic markers which are listed below. Road trips are so much fun, don't you think?

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!
