Fabulous Flowers Challenge at Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans!!

Today I'm showing you an all occasion card that fits perfectly with the Fabulous Flowers Challenge that is going on right now! For my card, I used #5450 Blooming Window Set along with 5408 Shadowbox Window Die.  I love that Bonnie created this Shadowbox Window Die that works with every single Windows to the World stamp set (and there are lots!!) It really gives a wow factor to a card, but it's so easy and quick to use! And I do love dimension in a card, so this one is perfect! I stamped the images onto Cryogen White paper and colored them with Copic markers. Then simply cut them out with the dies and popped them inside the window frame! The Hello die is included in the Shadowbox Window Die Set! I just cut two of them and layered them to create a shadow look. 






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

Art Impressions new Front Porch Patriotic Set

 Hello AI Fans!


Today I'm featuring #5494 Front Porch Patriotic Set from Art Impressions! The Front Porch Line of stamp sets are really awesome for lots of occasions! How fun would it be to create party invitations for the 4th of July with this set?! Just remember that you also need to purchase #5512 Front Porch Door Set if you don't already have it! I stamped all the images onto Cryogen white paper and colored them with Copic markers. The set comes with all the dies needed to cut out the images to decorate your front door! So fun!! I love the paper I used as it makes the sky seem like it's totally lit up with fireworks behind the house! I apologize for all the coloring flubs as I found out I was pretty much blind with cataracts when I created this card. I'm free of them now and I'm able to see all the mistakes. OUCH! LOL! I will tell you though, that it's like going from a TV from the 1960's to a 4K high def screen with my vision! I can't stop saying WOW! :)

If Friends Were Flowers featuring Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans

Sharon here, and I used a few different sets from Art Impressions to create my card.  I started off with #5405 Mrs Set from the Hats Off Line. I chose the flower hat to put on her (there's so many to choose from!). For the pot of flowers, I used a little pot of tulips that are in 5493 Front Porch Valentines Set. The cute dragonfly is from 5728 Mushroom Cubbies, and then I used the scalloped circle die from 5543 Journal Template Die Set and the heart that is on is from 5721 Nested Heart Die Set. I stamped all of them onto Cryogen White paper and colored them with Copic markers. I love having the dies to cut them out instead of having to fussy cut them all!

I love you "mower" each day featuring Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans!!

My card today would work for the Don't Fence Me In Challenge going on right now! Have you entered yet? It's super easy to enter and you might get lucky and win a stamp set of your choice from the Art Impressions Shop!!  I love interactive cards and make them quite often.  This one is a hidden slider, so you can't see the mechanism that move this cute guy across the card. All you can see is the pull tab. Pretty cool, huh? I used #5044 Born To Ride Set which comes from the Work and Play line of stamps. There are tons of You Tube videos out there on how you can make these. So have lots of fun watching and I hope you share it with us if you make one!!

One last Easter project featuring Art Impressions Stamps

 Hello AI Fans!


I hope you had a wonderful weekend and if you celebrate Easter, I hope it was a joyous one! I have one last Easter project to show you today.  I created some tags for all the treat bags for the kids when they came over yesterday.  I used the two cutest Easter and Spring sets! I love them both and simply HAD to have them as soon as I laid eyes on them! LOL! #5504 Happy Spring Set and #6401 Easter Chicks Set! LOVE them!! I made four each of three different tags.I stamped the images onto cryogen white paper and colored them with Copic markers. Then since the dies are included in the sets, I cut them out and popped them up onto the tags. The tag was cut out of pattern paper using 5132 Tag Stitched Dies. Then I just cut a rectangle to fit on top of the tag to create the little scene. 

 







This was all the bags waiting for the kids to show up. There were 12 in total. 


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

I've got a fun card to show you today that I made for my Bestie for her Birthday last year. I'm going to try and be better at posting all my cards here on my blog. :)  For this card, I used one of CC Designs stamp sets Rockabilly Gals. So fun! They're stamped onto Cryogen White paper and then colored with Copic markers. I placed them on a slimline card with a Whimsy Die Cut matted with some old paper from my stash. Added a bow and some pearl drops and let the girls shine like they should.

I've got an Easter card to show you today that features one of the cutest Easter Sets #5504 Happy Spring Set from Art Impressions. If these aren't the cutest bunnies EVER!!  I love this set so much and enjoyed making this for the current challenge going on over on the Art Impressions Blog right now.  Your project (doesn't have to be a card) just needs to be Easter themed, and if you enter, you could win an Art Impressions stamp set of your choice! Not only is there a winner chosen, but there's another random winner that also wins a stamp set of their choice!
