Happy Halloween featuring Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans!

Happy Halloween!! I have one more Halloween card for you today! Have you heard that Art Impressions has come out with two brand new paper packs??!! And the papers are gorgeous! There is #5606 Harvest Journal Paper Pack, and the one I used here, #5605 Halloween Journal Paper Pack. Along with the adorable #5506 Peek-a-Boo Set and Halloween paper pack, I used #5462 Spider Web Dies,  #5456 Spooky Wagon Set for the adorable spider and the Booo sign, #5133 Flag Double Stitched Dies,  And #5543 Journal Template Die Set for the scalloped edge mat under the star paper. This card was also created for the current masking or stencil challenge that is going on over at Art Impressions Blog! When you use the masking technique, It's always so fun when you pull the masks off to see the finished scene! I stamped all the images onto Cryogen White paper and colored them with Copic markers. I used my Viva Decor Pearl Pens to finish the spider webs off with just a small dot at the ends of the points. I used black, purple, and orange. 

I wanted the spider to look like he was dropping down from the web above, so just used my black Copic Multiliner to draw a line from him up to the top of the panel. 

Here is the stamped images on top of the masked off jack-o-lanterns and Booo sign. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today and hope you have a spooktacular Halloween!!

 Hello AI Fans!!

Well Fall is definitely in the air here in Reno! I just came back inside from filling my bird feeders and thank goodness the fireplace was going! BRRR!!! LOL! We are getting a high of 50 degrees today, and it's a little cloudy too. So I just had to feature these beautiful Girlfriends all dressed up in their fall clothes. I used #5516 Friends Forever Set from the AI Girlfriends line of stamps. I stamped them onto Cryogen White paper and colored them up with Copic markers. Hello Fall!! 

Thanks for stopping by today and hope you're able to get crafty today!

Art Impressions Hats Off Mr Set

Hello AI Fans!

My card today is for the Let's Hear it for the Boys challenge! I will admit I am terrible at masculine cards! I'm too big of a buttons and bows girl! LOL! So I kept my card super simple and just used the adorable #5406 Mr. Set from the Hats Off line at Art Impressions. I loved that Trapper hat and just had to use it with the Stay Cool sentiment! I added a strip of die cut grass and used a cloud stencil for the sky. Can't get much simpler than that! 

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

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!

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!
