Happy BAAAday to Ewe!! Featuring Art Impressions

Hello AI Fans!!

I've got a tag for you today that I made for the Tag You're It Challenge going on right now on the Art Impressions blog! I love making tags, and they elevate a package or gift bag to the absolute next level, don't you think? If you know me, you know how much I love whimsical, bright, fun projects, so that's usually the way I lean when I create. For this tag, I used 5132 Tag Stitched Dies (I cut three of them and glued them together so the tag would be nice and sturdy), 5398 Sheep Set, 5346 Birdhouse Cubbies (for the bird flying to the right), 5100 Woodland Tree Cubbies (for the bird flying to the left), and 4967 WC Fence Dies. The images are stamped onto Cryogen paper and then colored with Copic markers (the markers I used are listed below).  I inked the background with distress inks, added a sun with a few clouds and called her done! 

 

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

Sending love featuring Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans! 

My card today is showing you how I used the Sending Love Cubbies, and I really love how this one turned out. I don't know how many of you are old enough to remember there used to be mail boxes all over town. It's one of those things that just slowly disappear, kind of like telephone booths. LOL! I'm really dating myself! Anyway, I wanted to show this fun mailbox just absolutely overflowing with joy for the birthday recipient! So I just stamped, colored, and die cut a whole bunch of the accessory stamps that come in this set. I also added a few little birds from the Birdhouse Cubbies Set that are delivering more goodies. 

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

Happy Birthday Bonnie Krebs, owner and artist of Art Impressions Stamps!!

 Hello AI Fans!!

Today is our Queen Bee Bonnie's Birthday!! I know how much she is loved and cherished by all, so I feel VERY fortunate that it's my day to post. Bonnie, I know I speak for all when I tell you that we wish you the very best Birthday and hope your day is filled with love and laughter with friends and family! Thank you so much for enriching all of our lives and blessing us with your amazing talents! God bless you and we love you!!

The card I'm showing you today is one I made for Bonnie (I hope she's received it by now) and for the current challenge we've got going on right here on the AI blog! I used the fabulous #5042 Christmas Bee Set, but I used some Post It Tape to mask out her stocking cap and tried my best to turn it into a Birthday hat. You can see I'm definitely not an artist! LOL!  I also cut my little bee away from the word merry and the bow so I could use it by itself. This helps extend the uses of your stamps because you can always stamp them together again if you want! I love that there's so many stamps in this set you can use for occasions other than Christmas! I loved the little quote I added on the bottom right side of the card. It was in the paper I used and thought it was so fitting for Bonnie!  I stamped my images onto Cryogen white paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and then colored them with Copic markers which are listed below. 

 

And this is the inside of the card. 

Thank you so very much for stopping by today, and please be sure to wish Bonnie a very Happy Birthday today! Until next time - stay crafty!

Wanna Play Around featuring Art Impressions

 Happy July AI Fans!

The year seems to be flying by! Today I have a fun card featuring #4902 Par-Tee Golfers Set. I stamped her onto Cryogen white paper and colored her with Copic markers which are listed below.  I also used the pin which is an accessory stamp in this set. I thought the digital question mark paper was perfect for this card, so matted it with some red cardstock.  A super simple card!

Seas the Day featuring Art Impressions Flip Cards

 Hello AI Fans!

Today my card features both wet and dry embossing for the "Emboss like a boss" challenge here at the Art Impressions Blog.  I don't know why I don't use these techniques more often. Dry embossing adds so much, and I love the look of wet embossing as well. I don't know if my embossing powder wasn't working correctly, or if I'm just rusty at using it, but you can see it's pretty lumpy. It was more like embossing beads than powder.  Maybe that's why it melted that way. Anyway, I love the luscious lime color I used! I used #5104 Octopus Flip Card which is on sale right now!! These flip cards are so cute and fun, don't you think? I stamped it onto cryogen white paper and colored it with Copic markers listed below.  Don't forget you need 5103 Flip Card Die to make the card!

I'm sure we can all use lots of birthday cards throughout the year! I've got another one to show you today that features the AI Girlfriends line of stamps. This set is #5281 We're Here Set!  This set could be used for so many different occasions! I just added some balloons and a Happy Birthday die cut. I stamped them onto Cryogen White paper and colored them with Copic markers which are listed below. I used a fine tip marker to write Oh Happy Day onto the door sign.
