Valentine Bear tag featuring Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans!

As promised last week, here's another card using those adorable bears from #5005 Valentine Bears Set and I wanted to make a tag. So I grabbed the large tag die from 5132 Tag Stitched Dies and went to work. I stamped the image onto a Copic friendly paper and colored them with the markers listed below. I just had to add the honey pot and bee! I mean...what bear can resist a big old honey pot??!! LOL!  For the frame I used 5768 Decorative Journal Page 1 and for the small tags, 5543 Journal Template Die Set. The papers are from 5741 Valentines PP. The adorable bee and honey pot are from 5925 Honey Bee Set. Tucked in behind the sentiment tag is a heart that was cut using 5721 Nested Heart Dies.  These are all linked below for your convenience. 





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

A pink bear??? Featuring Art Impressions Stamps

 Hello AI Fans!

I don't know about you, but I am all up into Valentine's Day!! I have had a blast this week creating with pink and red and lots of hearts. LOL! So the current challenge for a free Art Impressions stamp set of your choice is Monochromatic. So that's exactly what I did. Who the heck wouldn't love a pink bear!! LOL! I know I sure do! For this challenge I used 5005 Valentine Bears Set and colored those little cuties in different shades of reds, pinks, and violets. I also used 5721 Nested Heart Dies and 5741 Valentines PP for my project. These cuties are perfectly enough for the front of my card. I simply added a heart and a bow and called her done. The image was stamped using Memento Tuxedo black ink onto a Copic friendly paper and then I colored them with the colors listed below. In the coming weeks, you'll see I've used the rest of these adorable images for some other projects. 




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

Making Memories featuring Art Impressions Stamps

 Hello AI Fans,

As I grew older, I started to realize that I wasn't just out with family and friends having fun, but that we were making memories. Yes, for myself, but mostly for my kids and grandkids. During really special moments, I would think to myself, my heart just took a picture. These are the things that people will look back on and smile. Is there anything more special? I don't think so. And it's the smallest little things that seem to leave the biggest marks on our hearts. My card today represents that.  I've always said that Bonnie has an amazing gift for capturing such joy in her images! Look at those precious faces enjoying their ride in the snow! They are from #5953 Woodland Critters Set. I added a wonderful sentiment from #5797 Little Things Sentiment Set. The images are stamped with Memento Ink Tuxedo Black ink and then colored with Copic markers which are listed below. 






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

One more Christmas card from 2024 featuring Art Impressions Stamps

 Hello AI Fans! 


I'd like to start by wishing all of a you a very happy and healthy new year! I'm super excited to see what the year has in store for all of us. I have one last Christmas card that I didn't get to show you before the holiday, but it's never too early to start on your 2025 Christmas cards!! I used one of my favorite Christmas sets, #5459 Christmas Mice Set. These are the cutest little mice around! I stamped the image onto Copic friendly paper using Memento Tuxedo black ink, and then colored them up with the markers which are listed below. All the products are linked below for your convenience. This would even fit in with our current challenge Craft Time is Golden because I added a cute bell onto the bow. I love the little tinkle sound when you move the card. 



So that's it for me today! Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit and until next time - I hope you have a crafty day!
