Cold Hands...Warm Hearts featuring Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans!

Do you celebrate Valentine's Day? I just love all the hearts and smooches in pinks and reds!  I'm just a big old sap! LOL! So I have another  super simple Valentine card to show you today, and this one I used the fun #6107 Snowman Hugs Set. I just love this image out of set! I created the card base with the new Scalloped Rectangle Dies #6048. I stamped the image onto a Copic friendly paper and then colored it using Copic markers which are listed below. Other than rounding the corners of the papers, I simply added a bow using red silk ribbon along with a couple little red hearts to show the love. 

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

A Valentine for my granddaughter featuring Art Impressions products

 Hello AI Fans!

If you've been affected by the widespread freezing temps, I sure hope you're starting to thaw out a little! And if not, what is better than crafting Valentines for your loved ones in your warm home? That's what I've got to show you today. Our new challenge is Love, Love Me Do (you know I love you...I'll always be true...so plee ee ee eese) Sorry...I got a little carried away with lyrics from my youth! LOL! So anyway, I decided to create a little Valentine for one of my granddaughters. I just love how it turned out, so I hope it inspires you a little. 

I just used a white gel pen to create the patterns on her hat and dress. 

I started by pulling out #5717 Little Girl F&B stamp set and stamping her onto some Copic friendly paper. I don't know about you, but I love using pinks and reds together for Valentine's Day projects. When I cut her out, I cut a slit in her basket so I could add some pink and red hearts I cut using the heart die from #5223 Bookmark Dies. After cutting my A2 card base and adding some pattern paper from #5741, I took #5721 Nested Heart Dies and cut out a window to the inside of the card. After doing that, I glued the inked cloud paper to the inside of the card so the sky would be continuous on the front. I then took a coordinating piece of pattern paper and cut a frame for the heart window using the window size heart along with the largest scalloped heart in the set. I love framing my windows as I believe it adds a nice touch of detail. That adorable fence is from #5807 Journal Fence Dies. I just cut it twice and overlapped the edge piece to make it seamless. Of course it's popped up with dimensional tape. Daisies are my favorite flower ( I have a huge bunch of Shasta daisies in my back yard), so I just can't resist using these cute stamps from #5925 Honey Bee Set.  I'm sure you notice I use them ALL the time. LOL! That set also contains those cute bees and the dies to cut them all out so they can be used exactly like this if wanted! 

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

A cute Valentine from Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans!

It's getting close to Valentine's Day, do you know where your hearts are? LOL! I have a cute little Valentine card today to show you. I love using the reds and pinks after the Christmas season. Do you make Valentine cards for the loves of your life? 

I started by grabbing the cute elephant from 5219 Loveable Animals Set. I'm sure you've heard of pink elephants on parade (LOL). I told you I love the pinks and reds!! I colored it with Copic markers which are listed below. The dies are included with the stamp sets, so it made it super easy to die cut it. It also cuts around the paws so it can hold whatever you want to put there. I added a couple of balloons that were from dies in my stash. I wrapped the balloon strings around his arm too. The mat was created using #6047 Scalloped Square Dies and placed on the diagonal. I then grabbed #5721 Nested Heart Dies to cut several sizes of hearts. There's lots of dimension as I popped up just about everything from the layer underneath it. I placed a die cut heart into the hands of the pink ellie and tied the balloon strings to one of the arms. Finally, I used #5910 to cut out four X's and four O's (two each in red and then pink) and used them to finish the card. 

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

A Woodland Mailbox scene featuring Art Impressions stamps and dies

 Hello AI Fans and Happy New Year!!

Wishing you all a very happy and prosperous new year for 2026!! I'm super excited to see what all Art Impressions has in store for us this year! I'm ready for some fun and crafting, how about you?! So today I've got a little shaker box I made using #6121 Storybook Template along with #6084 Woodland Mailbox Scene. The Storybook Template is so perfect for all of the recently released Woodland Scenes. They fit perfectly! All you have to do is glue a piece of acetate on the back of the front and it so easily turns into a shaker!! Add a hanger and you have another beautiful ornament for the tree, too!! I simply stamped the image onto some Copic friendly paper and colored it up with Copic markers. Cut it out and glued it to the inside back of the Storybook Template die and voila! So quick and easy! The paper is from #5963 Winter Woodland PP. 

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