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!!




Copic markers used:

R24, 81, 83, and 85
YG13 and 17
C1 and 2

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!!
