Happy 1st Birthday featuring Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans!

I have a card today that celebrates someone turning one year old. That precious little girl is from 5185 Baby Girl Set. It's an older set, but is so dang cute!! I stamped the image onto a Copic friendly paper with Memento Tuxedo black ink and then colored it with Copic markers which are listed for your convenience below. The sentiment is from 5866 Mini Birthday Sentiment Set. I just cut it out with my trimmer and popped it up onto a tag from 5132 Tag Stitched Die Set. That beautiful paper is from 6057 Baby Girl PP, and the word ONE was die cut using the new 5910 Large Letter Dies. 





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

Hi Friend featuring Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans!!

I have a card for you today that goes along with the current challenge Blossoms & Blooms. If you haven't checked out Dori's amazing creation for her feature for this challenge, please do yourself a favor and click HERE to see it. It's jaw dropping gorgeous and so creative!

I don't know if you've noticed I've really been using a lot of Girlfriends images for the past several challenges! And here I am again, LOL! This time, I used 5798 Gardening Girlfriends Set. I stamped the image onto a Copic friendly paper, and then again on a piece of masking paper. After carefully placing the mask over my Girlfriends, I inked up 56361 WC Gazebo Set, and stamped it offsetting it a little behind the ladies. I love this technique cause it never fails to amaze me how it looks when I remove the mask. After I colored up the image, I chose a couple flower bunches from the Front Door Line of stamps and colored them. After fussy cutting them out, I placed them on the image so it looked like they were in the pots the Girlfriends are holding. I also placed an extra pot in the lower corner of the image. 




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

Say Cheese featuring Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans!


I sure hope you enjoyed your weekend and that the weather is cooperating with you wherever you are! I had to break down this weekend and turn on the air conditioning for a bit! My favorite times are when it's in the 70's and there's a nice breeze and I can open up the windows and doors! 

My card for today features another one of the fabulous sets from the Girlfriends line! This is #4130 Picture Perfect Set. I started by stamping the image onto a Copic friendly paper and then coloring it with Copic markers. I cut them out using 5725 Nested Square Dies and then backed it with 6047 Scalloped Square Dies. I used a "say cheese" die from my stash and cut it out four times to make home made chipboard sentiment. I love doing that! It creates wonderful dimension on  your card! 




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