Harvest Together Stamp Set from Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans!!

I've got a card today that fits in with the It's Fall Y'all Challenge over on the Art Impressions Blog! My favorite colors are the bright, cheery colors of summer. But there's just something about the beautiful colors of fall that call to me when September hits. I made a super simple card using this adorable scarecrow from #5507 Harvest Together Set from Art Impressions. These are the cutest scarecrows I've ever seen! They are NOT going to scare away anything! :)  For the trees, I used an old tree die and some fall patterned paper along with grassy hill die cuts. Hmmm...just had a thought that I should have put some apples on one or more of the trees. 

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

Have you tried the Matchbook Series?  I think they are so fun and cute! What a wonderful way to tuck a greeting in somewhere unexpected! Put it in someone's lunch box, slip it into their backpack, tuck it into a friends crafting bag when they're not looking! So many ways to give a wonderful surprise. Good things really DO come in small packages! Today I'm showing you one of the newly released Matchbook Sets #5495 MB Nursery Set. So adorable!! To decorate the little envelope, I used #5338 Baby Mini Dies and they fit on the envelope perfectly!

New Front Porch Harvest Set from Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans!

How many of you are in love with the Front Porch Series from Art Impressions? I know I've got my hand raised! This series makes truly beautiful cards! For my card today, I used the brand new Front Porch Harvest Set. I stamped the images onto Cryogen white paper and colored them with Copic markers. I also used quite a bit of mounting tape for dimension. I have always loved fall with it's beautiful colors and crispness in the air. This card would also fit the Woodn't it be Nice challenge that's going on right now over on the blog. Have you entered yet?? 

So what is fall without a big pile of leaves in your front yard? This set has a wonderful image of a few leaves clustered together. So I just stamped a number of them and piled them up in front of the porch. 

Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit and hope you have a crafty day!

You light up the room featuring Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans!

Today I'm showing you a card I made that fits the Dynamic Duo challenge that is going on right now over on the Art Impressions Blog! Have you entered yet? You still have time!  You just need to use two different stamp sets to create your card or project. For my card, I used #4371 Fire Out Set. I have always loved this set and have used her a number of times for some fun birthday cards. I also used #5255 Birthday Cake Set, and #5115 Birthday Laugh Lines for the sentiment. I stamped them onto Cryogen white paper and colored them with Copic markers. I kept the card super simple by just fussy cutting them out and adding a frame of some fun polka dot paper. 

Thanks for stopping by to visit today and hope you get to have a crafty day!

I have a prescription featuring Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans!

Hope you're having an awesome start to your week! My card today features #4899 Proud Nurse Set from the Work and Play line at Art Impressions! There are so many wonderful stamp sets in this line! Be sure to pop over to Art Impressions and check them out! I stamped her onto Cryogen White paper which has a very subtle hint of glitter in it from Mica that is added to the paper. When I say subtle, I have to hold it up to my Ott light and move it around at different angles to make sure I've got the correct paper. However sometimes it can show up in your pictures if you use a flash.  I just love how the markers take to the paper. I then colored her up with Copic markers which are listed below.

"At least I wore a cardigan!" featuring Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans!

I'm here with you today to show you the card I created for the Pretty in Pink challenge going on right now on Art Impressions Blog.  I don't know if any of you watch Tik Tok, but a while back, I saw a video where some friends thought it would be really funny to dress up their husbands in matching shirts for a party (without the men knowing about it of course). So while I was thinking about what I wanted to create, I came across my #4474 Old Guys Club Set and the light bulb came on! I just love the grumpy look on these guys, so I thought I might as well give them something to be grumpy about, right? LOL!  I stamped the image onto Cryogen white paper and then colored them us using Copic markers. I made the card super simple by using the largest #5062 Rounded Rectangle Double Stitched Die set.  I simply folded my cardstock in half and then placed the top of the die just above the seam of the fold and ran it through my die cut machine.  Voila - a folded shaped card!  I always cut another full piece of either the same cardstock or the patterned paper I want to use and glue it to the front of the card base.  Doing that hides that flat fold that doesn't have stitching. Then I used the next size down to cut out my image panel. The sentiments were created with my computer and then cut out with some word bubble dies from my stash.   

Hope I gave you a little chuckle today! Sometimes we need that on Monday! Thanks so much for stopping by and hope you have a crafty day!

Happy Halloween featuring Art Impressions Peek-a-Boo Set!!

 Hello AI Fans!!

So I'm sure you've seen the adorable new sets just released by Art Impressions! Today I'm showing you the oh so cute Peek-a-Boo Set #5506!! These are the cutest little Halloween characters ever!! I also added one of the little ghosts from 4927 Holiday Mansion accessory set which contains both Halloween and Christmas images! These were all stamped onto Cryogen White paper and then colored with Copic markers which are listed below. I love coloring little Draculas with a white face.  In order to accomplish that, I leave the face uncolored and then used a warm gray marker to create some shadows. I also added pale pink cheeks and think it gives them a true vampire look.

Thanks for stopping by today and hope to see you again soon!

High Maintenance featuring Art Impressions

Hello AI Fans!

My card today features 5405 Mrs. Set from the Hats Off line at Art Impressions! She's so fun and comes with a bunch of different hats you can dress her up with. I used the fun hair in curlers. How many of you are old enough to remember wearing curlers? LOL! (my hand is definitely raised) I stamped her onto some Cryogen White paper and then colored her up with Copic markers. I added one of the sentiments included in the set to the middle circle of the background die. 

 Thanks so much for stopping by to visit today and hope to see you again soon! 

 

Best Day Ever interactive card featuring Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans! 

Today's card features SC0795 Road Trip from Art Impressions and it goes right along with the current AI Challenge of Summer Fun!  Is there anything more fun than going on a road trip with your Besties? I wanted to make this card interactive, but I wanted it to look like the car was actually rolling down the road instead of you seeing the sliding mechanism.  So I did a little googling and I love how it turned out! What can I say, interactive cards are always my favorite. Hopefully this video works and I apologize for the background noise...I forgot I had my little desk fan on. LOL

 

Here's a picture with the slide tab open on the bottom where the call is pulled over to the left. I stamped Best Day Ever on it so it's only visible once it is pulled out. 

Here you get a little peek at the inside which I decorated as well.  Can you see the cute little Art Impressions Freebie? :) 

 

I also used the Art Impressions Fence dies on the inside decoration. You can see a little peek of it below. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today and hope you have a great week! See you next time! 

Me and my recliner featuring Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans!

Today I'm sharing the card I created for the Perfect Plaid challenge (you still have a couple days left to enter!!)  For this one, I used #4159 Lazy Boy Set along with a sentiment from #5421 Sit Back Laugh Lines Set. I stamped him onto Cryogen White paper (love the glittery aspect of this paper!) and colored it with Copic markers. 

LOL! If this isn't a snapshot of my amazing hubby, I don't know what would be! I added three antique buttons up in the top left corner and one on top of the plaid bow as well. This is an old container of buttons I stumbled across in a little antique shop, and I absolutely love them! Some of them still even have the old thread in them! So that's it for me today! Hope you're having a great start to your week!  

Happy Birthday Cindy

Hello and happy Saturday!  I made this card for my daughter Cindy for her birthday last week. I didn't want to post it before then just in case she happened to take a peek.  Which, by the way, is highly unlikely since she's such a busy mom! LOL!  I used one my CC Designs digital images and just love these characters! I printed her onto some cryogen white paper and colored her with Copic markers. 

 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit today and hope you have an amazing weekend!
