Valentine Bear tag featuring Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans!

As promised last week, here's another card using those adorable bears from #5005 Valentine Bears Set and I wanted to make a tag. So I grabbed the large tag die from 5132 Tag Stitched Dies and went to work. I stamped the image onto a Copic friendly paper and colored them with the markers listed below. I just had to add the honey pot and bee! I mean...what bear can resist a big old honey pot??!! LOL!  For the frame I used 5768 Decorative Journal Page 1 and for the small tags, 5543 Journal Template Die Set. The papers are from 5741 Valentines PP. The adorable bee and honey pot are from 5925 Honey Bee Set. Tucked in behind the sentiment tag is a heart that was cut using 5721 Nested Heart Dies.  These are all linked below for your convenience. 

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

Art Impressions You're a Gem Challenge - you have a few days left to enter!

 Hello AI Fans!!

Have you entered the You're a Gem Challenge yet? If not, you still have a few more days left to enter for your chance to win an AI stamp of your choice! You also still have just a few days left to enter the color challenge for a chance to win a stamp and become a Guest Designer for Art Impressions for the month of March! How exciting is that??!! My cards today (I'm going to show you two) meets the You're a Gem Challenge to use some bling on your project. How fun!! 

The first card is a slimline card I made using three of the adorable critters from 5219 Lovable Animals Set. They're stamped with Memento ink and colored with Copic markers. I just added a little gem to each of the hearts they are all holding. The dies with this stamp set cut slits in their "hands" so they can hold a varitey of adorable pieces that come with the set. 

For my second card, I also used T5219 Lovable Animals Set.  I stamped and colored up these cuties a couple of years ago and never used them on a card. So I'm sorry I don't have a list of the Copic markers I used to color them. I used some sequins with this cutie, and a touch of Stickles. 

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

I love you tons featuring Art Impressions!

 Hello AI Fans!!

Have you started making your Valentines Day cards yet? It's that time of year ya know! It's only a couple weeks away, believe it or not! I can't believe we are already through the month of January! So anyway, I have a little card to show you today that features the adorable 5219 Lovable Animals Set! Links for everything are below.  I love this adorable little elephant! I stamped it onto cryogen white paper and then colored her up with Copic markers. 

 

The scalloped card is so easy to create. Just score and fold your paper to be larger than the scalloped die you want to use. Then place your die where the top of it is above the card fold so it won't cut it. To hide the flat spot, just cut out a full scalloped circle mat and glue it on top of the card base. Voila! You have a round scalloped card which is the perfect size for a small Valentine!

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

My Favorite Thing to Do with Art Impressions

Hello AI Fans!

I love this technique of coloring in black and white or sepia.  It's a fun challenge for me since I usually use such bright and bold colors. These fabulous images from the Love Birds Set from Art Impressions were colored with all the warm grey Copics, then I just added a pop of red for Valentine's Day.  For Dies, I used the Rounded Rectangle Double Stitched Dies, the Circle Double Stitched Dies, and the brand new Flag Double Stitched Dies for my cards. 

So that's it for me today! I hope you're having an amazing weekend and until next time - stay crafty!!
