One more Christmas card from 2024 featuring Art Impressions Stamps

 Hello AI Fans! 

I'd like to start by wishing all of a you a very happy and healthy new year! I'm super excited to see what the year has in store for all of us. I have one last Christmas card that I didn't get to show you before the holiday, but it's never too early to start on your 2025 Christmas cards!! I used one of my favorite Christmas sets, #5459 Christmas Mice Set. These are the cutest little mice around! I stamped the image onto Copic friendly paper using Memento Tuxedo black ink, and then colored them up with the markers which are listed below. All the products are linked below for your convenience. This would even fit in with our current challenge Craft Time is Golden because I added a cute bell onto the bow. I love the little tinkle sound when you move the card. 

So that's it for me today! Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit and until next time - I hope you have a crafty day!

Love, Peace, and Joy Tres Chic challenge at Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans!

Happy Monday! I hope this finds you well and enjoying this wonderful fall weather! I always love it when I can turn off the air conditioning and open up the windows and doors to let that cool fall air into the house! It's getting quite chilly at night though, and we have gotten some good frosts and freezes here in Reno. You know I'm getting ready to ask you if you've entered the Tres Chic challenge going on right now, right? LOL!  You've got just a few more days to enter to win a free stamp set of your choice! So if you haven't entered yet, I urge you to do so! Who doesn't love getting what you want for free??!!  So I made this card for this challenge using the wonderful 5350 Animal Nativity Set, one of my favorite Christmsas stamp sets! I stamped the images onto Copic friendly paper and colored them with Copic markers which are listed below. To frame the scene, I used 5768 Decorative Journal Page Set 1. I love the lacy look. The paper is from 5812 Christmas S2 PP. See links to products used below. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today and until next time - stay crafty!!

Four more Christmas cards featuring Art Impressions!

 Hello AI Fans!! 

Have you gotten 5803 Snowman Puppet Set yet? Oh my gosh, this set is so much fun! I had two of my granddaughters over this weekend and had an ornament making day with them and this fun set! I simply die cut a bunch of different pieces from various Christmas paper from my stash, and let them go to town. I couldn't believe the creativity they had! The were using scarves as pony tails, they were adding bows to everything! On one, they even used a scarf on the head that made it look like a durag tied on the side! It was awesome! And hopefully, they have some wonderful memories with Grandma!  I've got a few cards I put together using the same set. Oh my gosh, these are so fun to make and they are so dang cute!!! They are PERFECT for using up all those scraps of paper you have hanging around!  I made two round cards and two square ones. The word JOY is from 5802 Joyful Snowman Set and the snowflakes are from 5353 Large Snowflake Die Set stamped into a circle cut with #5726 Nested Circle Die Set. 

I used 5812 Christmas S2 Paper Pack for this one.

The sentiment comes from 5802 Joyful Snowman Set

I used the sentiment ribbon from 5543 Journal Template Die Set for the sentiment, and just cut off the sides of it. I didn't want to pop it up and the curve fit the round card really well. 

So that's it for me today! I hope you've enjoyed your visit and until next time - I hope you have some time to be crafty!!

The Joy of Christmas featuring Art Impressions

Hello AI Fans!

I love this card I'm showing you today.  This snowman exudes such joy that I can't help but smile every time I see him.  Bonnie is so talented in conveying emotions through her wonderful characters! This adorable cutie pie and sentiment are from #5041 Snow Friend Set. I can't help it, I adore him!!  I stamped him onto some Cryogen White paper which has a little sparkle to it, and then colored him with Copic markers. I cut the image out using the #5062 Rounded Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Die Set. For the mat behind him, I cut out another piece the same size in the gray paper and just offset it from the image panel. To balance out the card, I used three different beautiful snowflakes from 5353 Large Snowflake Dies and topped them off with some Diamond Stickles. 

Thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to stop in and take a peek at my card! Until next time my crafty friends!!

Sending Cheer your way featuring Art Impressions

Hello AI Fans!

I like being able to combine stamp sets to make them whatever I want, don't you?  So for this card, I took some of the embellishments and a sentiment from the fun #5192 Penguin Cheer Set along and added them to #5181 Mailbox Cubbies. It was fun stuffing all those mailboxes full of Holiday fun and then decorating them with lights and ornaments! On the paper scroll that comes with the mailboxes, I turned it into Santa's list by just writing on it with a super fine tip pen.

Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit today and until next time - stay crafty!
