Welcome Little One featuring new Art Impressions Baby Panda Set

 Hello AI Fans!

Art Impressions released the absolute cutest Baby Panda set I think I've ever seen! And who doesn't love Pandas?? And it was perfect timing for the new challenge that started last Thursday, Un-Bearably Cute!! So you can enter to win a free stamp set of your choice, just use any bear at all on your card or project! I chose to use 6017 Baby Panda Set. Since I don't have the beautiful new baby papers that were released along with this adorable set, I chose to use 5939 Fairy Garden PP. I stamped all the images onto Copic friendly paper and then colored them up using the markers which I've listed for you below. 

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

Funny Birthday card featuring Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans!!

I hope you had a beautiful Easter and that you don't have a belly ache from eating too many jelly beans yesterday! One of the many things I absolutely love about Bonnie's art is her amazing sense of humor! She is a master at it! Her characters and humor have had me addicted for sooooo many years!!! For today's card, I tried to do her art justice using 5369 Feline Set. I mean, if you know cats, they rule the roost, and I could totally see this happening! LOL! I started out stamping this hilarious image onto a Copic friendly paper and then colored it using Copic markers which I've listed below. Along with the stamp set, I also utilized 5726 Nested Circle Dies, 5972 BJ Decorative Margin Dies, and 6011 Basic Teal PP. I added some stickles to the candles and some Glossy Accents to the cake icing. 

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

LOVE slimline card featuring Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans!

I hope you enjoyed the weekend and had some beautiful spring weather! I just love when the early flowers start popping out of the ground and the buds start coming out on the trees! For my card today, I used the current ABC 123 Challenge that is going on right now for inspiration! Have you seen Renee's absolutely adorable baby card she made using the new dies released by Art Impressions? Oh my goodness, who wouldn't love to have that card to tuck away with their mementos!! For my card, I decided to use the adorable 5904 So Sweet Armfuls set. I just double stamped them and colored with Copic markers. One trick I used on the bear to try and make him look "fuzzy" is to take my Copic blender and just dab all over the bear after coloring him in. It moves the browns and creates the textured look you see. Since I wanted to spell out the word love, I knew this was going to have to be a slimline card, so #5940 Journal Cover Paper Pack Plaid to the rescue!!!  For the letters, I just cut them out using white cardstock and then colored them to match the outfits. I simply cut a white strip of paper to act as the sign post for them to hold. The fun daisies are from 5935 Fairytale Houses Set and the Copic markers I used are listed below. 

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

Happy 50th featuring Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans!

I'm finally back! I want to shout out a huge THANK YOU to Simone and Sara for covering for me while I was out sick!! Their work is so beautiful and amazing, and I very much appreciate them!!  So today, I have a card I made for the current Blog Challenge #400, Milestone Birthdays!!! It blows me away that we reached Challenge #400 and I also love that the challenge reflects this huge accomplishment!! I chose to use #5406 Mr Set and have him hold balloons reflecting a 50th Birthday. The best part is the die to cut him out, cut the slot for me to be able to put the balloon strings in his hand!  It was perfect! I started out by stamping his image onto a Copic friendly cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The colors I used to color him are listed below. 

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