Thinking of Home Storybook stamp and die set from Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans!

I don't have a card for you today. Instead I created a little box that would be so cute to tuck into a small corner of a shelf in your home. All you have to do is change up the colors that would complement your decor! I used the new #6116 Thinking of Home Storybook stamp and die set just released by Art Impressions! It's perfect for a decoration around your home, or imagine how cute it would be to gift it to someone that is moving into a new house or apartment? For the base, I used #6121 Storybook Box Template. These pieces are so easy to put together once you stamp, color, and die cut the pieces! I stamped the images onto a Copic friendly cardstock and then colored and die cut them out. I added a fence die cut with #5807 Journal Fence Dies and then I cut out an easel stand for the back out of heavy cardstock using #5901 Mini Rectangle Frame die set. The grass and clouds were cut from dies in my stash. That cute cloud paper came from #6058 Baby Boy PP.  That cute sleeping kitty helps this fit our current challenge #435 Furry Friends too! 

So that's it for me today! I hope this inspires you to join in on our Furry Friends challenge! Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit and until next time - stay crafty. 

Whimsical Storybook featuring Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans!

Art Impressions just released two brand new sets for the Storybook Line and I'm in love with both of them! They are soooo cute and perfect for little pieces of decor to place around the house. My post today shows you the project I created using #Whimsical Storybook. I wanted this one to actually be like a little book where you could flip the pages, so instead of using #6121 Storybook Template, I grabbed #5806 Slim Journal Template. The slim journal is perfect for doing so many different types of projects!! I stamped all the images from #6223 Whimsical Storybook Set onto a Copic friendly paper using Memento ink. The colors I used are listed below this post. After coloring and die cutting them all out, I set out to create a home for them. 

I die cut the slim journal out of cardstock and then added paper from #6205 Floral Shop PP. To make the frame around the center cutouts, I taped together two dies from #5065 Oval Double Stitched Dies and cut enough for all the pages of the journal. I thought the size of the fence from #4967 WC Fence Dies was perfect for this project!  Here's a look at the inside layers of my project. 

I added a few layers of clouds for fun. 

There's plenty of room to sign this I want to give it away as a card to someone! 

And one last look at the finished piece. 

So that's it for me today! Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit and I hope I was able to inspire you to get and use the brand new Whimsical Storybook Set #6223. Until next time - stay crafty!!

New Art Impressions Corner Bird Bookmarks

 Hello AI Fans!!

So who thinks like I do and believes you can never have too many bookmarks! They're awesome to have for yourself and so wonderful as gifts too! Imagine including one or more inside an envelope with a gift certificate to Barnes and Noble! How fun would that be! So for my post today, I created two bookmarks using #6209 Corner Bird Bookmark from Art Impressions. I created two of them using the same beautiful paper from #6205 Floral Shop PP. The only difference was I used some distress ink around the edges on one of them. I just love these adorable birds!!! 

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

His mercies bookmark featuring Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans!

If you haven't purchased the new #6216 Mercy Set from Art Impressions yet, what are you waiting for? This set is so gorgeous and has beautiful sentiments too! For this bookmark I used #6043 Bible Bookmark Dies. After die cutting the white portion, I centered the two bird stamps with the sentiment in the middle of the bookmark with my Misti stamp platform. That made it super easy to line them all up and stamp them without worry that I could stamp them in the exact same place if needed (and of course I needed). I stamped them using Memento Tuxedo Black ink so I could color them with Copic markers. I'm sorry I forgot to write down the colors I used. After coloring them, I simply adhered it to the Bookmark base that I cut using #6205 Floral Shop PP and added a ribbon. I ended up with an amazingly quick gift that I would be proud to give to anyone! And who doesn't need more bookmarks?? This would also qualify for the current challenge Floral Frenzy!! I hope you're entering with your fabulous creations! 

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

I'll always be here for you featuring Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans!

My card today features a couple of new releases by Art Impressions, #6221 Frameworks Set 3 & #6218 BJ Long Stem flowers. I have always loved daffodils (maybe because they're yellow?? LOL), so I was excited to see these! I thing the flowers fit beautifully inside the new frames, so they're a perfect match in my book! I stamped them onto a Copic friendly cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then colored them up. I used one of the slimline dies to die cut it as I love the stitched edges. For the sentiment, I used the beautiful banner from the Decorate Journal Page 2 set. 

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