Thankful and Blessed featuring Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans

For my card today, I pulled out the brand new #6254 FB Thankful Border. I just think it's the cutest fall scene and frames out the sentiment that comes with it just perfectly! I could have just stamped the scene and sentiment onto one piece of cardstock and colored it, but I decided to fussy cut it and pop it up onto my pattern paper. I like the way it came out. There are so many different designs in this line and they can so easily be mixed and matched together! If you haven't taken a look at them, I would highly encourage you to do so! As this set is meant for watercolor, there is blank space above the basket for you to stamp your flowers and foliage to enhance the image. Since I don't watercolor, I ended up cutting a slit in the top of the basket and added some leaves from #5492 Front Porch Harvest Set (bonus! It comes with matching dies!!). . That cute little sign hanging on the fence is also from the same set.  Don't ever forget to look at all your stamp sets for the cute little accessories you can use to enhance your cards/projects! 

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

You my Boo featuring Art Impressions stamps and dies

 Hello AI Fans!

Our current challenge right now is "Bats in the Belfry" and we are looking for anything related to Halloween! This is such a great time of year...the weather is usually cooling down and the kids are all so excited about picking out their costumes and going house to house for candy! I LOVE when the kids come all dressed up. And this may be controversial but I don't care how old you are. If you dressed up and walk up to my door, you're going to get candy for it! I believe we should let them be kids for as long as they want, and if they're just a kid at heart - well that's good enough for me. That's just the way I feel about it. No judgement from me if you feel differently. You do you, BOO. LOL! I snuck that one in there! HAHA So my card today is to celebrate Halloween. I started by taking little Frankenstein from 5506 Peek a Boo set and coloring him with Copic markers which are listed below. That fun sentiment came from #5352 Halloween Critters Set. I created a background for him and then die cut it using #5727 Nested Oval Dies and then matted that with some cardstock die cut using #6046 Scalloped Oval Dies. That fun little spider and the web are from #5462 Web Dies Set and I just added a couple tiny googly eyes to him. 

So that's it for me today! Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit and until next time - stay crafty! Hope to see your entry in the challenge!

I'm rootin' for ya! featuring Art Impressions Stamps

 Hello Ai Fans!

Wow...it's October! Such a beautiful time of year with so many trees changing colors and a little bit of a chill in the air. It's fun to bring out the pumpkin spice coffee syrups and and scented candles! Before you know it we will be prepping for our Thanksgiving meals! Whoa...slow it down a little, Sharon!! LOL! I've got a card to show you today that fits our current blog challenge Spread Kindness. So we are looking for anything that would bring a smile or brighten someone's day. I must say that it was amazing how quickly this card came together. After coloring the image, it only took me about five minutes to assemble it. Honestly! I started by stamping #6076 Gardner Gail onto a Copic friendly paper and then coloring her. I love that she comes with a die to cut her out so I could just pop her up onto a piece of #6099 Garden PP!! I just think she looks amazing with that paper and there wasn't a single thing I had to do other than cut it down to fit the A2 size card with mats. I stamped the sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then cut it out using #5727 Nested Oval Dies. Added a small little twine bow and attached a fun spade charm, and it was done! I'm completely serious when I said this took me five minutes to put it together outside of stamping and coloring Gardener Gail. 

So that's it for me today! Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit and I sure hope you join in on our Spread Kindness challenge for a chance to win a free set from Art Impressions! Who doesn't like FREE??!! Hope to see you again soon and until next time - stay crafty!!
