Thinking of you featuring Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans!

Happy Monday! I think there's only like 11 or 12 days before it is officially Spring - on the calendar anyway! So I've got a card for you today that has flowers and cute little bugs in hopes that Spring arrives soon! I turned this one into a spinner card, so the ladybug spins all the way around the flowers. I wanted to start with some flowers, so I used the flower stamp and die from #5346 Birdhouse Cubbies. I used a grass die from my stash for the center panel, then layered the flowers by popping up the ones in front. The butterfly, dragonfly, and snail are all from #5728 Mushroom Cubbies. Don't forget to look at all your Cubbies sets, Front Door Sets, Matchbook Sets, and so on. They all have such amazing pieces that can be either used alone or combined with other stamps to create amazing scenes!! Isn't that the cutest fence? It's from #5807 Journal Fence Dies. In order to create the open track for the ladybug to spin around, I used both 5726 Nested Circle Dies and 5064 Circle Double Stitched Dies. I had to be careful popping them up to make sure nothing got in the way of the ladybug moving around the track. Lastly, I created the sentiment using one of my very favorite banner dies from #5809 Decorative Journal Page Set 2. I just love the look of the stitching around the edge. 



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

Easter Greetings featuring Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans!

I have been loving seeing all the amazing creations using the new #6158 Story Tile Template Die from Art Impressions! It's soooo versatile! I'm using it yet again today for a cute Easter card. Easter is just around the corner, so it's that time! For the chicks, I used #5401 Easter Chicks Set. I stamped the images onto a Copic friendly paper and then colored them using the markers listed at the bottom of this post. For the single carrot and the basket of carrots, I used #6008 Bunny Hugs Set. Both sets come with the dies, so it was super simple to add them to the window tiles. The paper is from 6036 Easter Bunny PP. 





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