Happy Spring Card

 Happy Friday!

Tasha here sharing a new card featuring the super cute "Happy Spring" Stamp Set from Art Impressions. Spring is a wonderful time of year and Spring cards are so much fun to make. For my project I used the bunny with a carrot car and love everything about this stamp!

I started the card by stamping the sweet bunny and used the included dies to cut him out. Once cut, I used Copic Markers to color him; I love these colors! For the background I layered a piece of polka dot pattern paper from the ground and cut two clouds to make a Spring scene.

This set includes several sentiments, but I thought "Happy Spring" went perfectly with this image. He looks like he is loving the warm Spring weather driving his carrot car with his pretty tulips!

Lastly, I added layers of teal and tan card stock and a piece of Art Impressions plaid paper. I also attached several white enamel dots to complete the design.

Thank you for checking out today's project and I hope you are having a wonderful day!

Shake, Hop, and Celebrate!

 Happy Friday!

Sharing a new Easter card inspired by the current Art Impressions "I like to Move it, Move it!" Challenge. Easter will be here before we know it and Art Impressions has so many cute stamp sets for Easter cards and projects. I used the fun 5504-Happy Spring Set to create a shaker card and love this little bunny and chick!

To begin, I stamped the animals with black ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I also used the included die set to cut the images out making it super easy to layer on my project. This little chick with the Easter egg is adorable and the bunny looks so cheerful!

For the background, I used a clear shaker pocket and filled it with Spring themed shaker bits on top of an ombre blue paper. I also attached a green grass die cut to the ground and attached several enamel flowers to continue with the Spring theme.

For the greeting, I stamped "Happy Easter" with black ink on to bright white paper. For extra color, I attached a layer of teal paper; I love the pop of color behind the greeting!

Lastly, I attached layers of gold, white, and deep pink card stock and purple glitter paper for sparkle. This card is bright, happy, and perfect to send to someone special this Spring/Easter! 

Thank you for checking out my card and I hope you will join in the "I like to Move it, Move it!" Challenge!

Love Fur-Ever!

 Happy Friday everyone! 

Tasha here sharing a new card created with the super cute 6016-MB Pet Shop Set from Art Impressions. Art Impressions recently released four (4) awesome new MB sets, but this one has to be my favorite! I love animals and the variety of cute animals in this little shop scene is fantastic! 

To create the shop, I used the 5317-MB Template Dies and two different pieces of pattern paper. The plaid walls with the dark wood floor seemed like the perfect decor for a happy little pet shop. I also added two little windows to bring in more detail; the Template Die Set includes two styles of windows, so you can pick the perfect one to customize your little scene.


After all the sweet animals were colored, it was time to assemble. The MB Pet Shop's included dies cut and score the pieces to make it super easy to attach to the base. Every time I complete one of these MB cards I mention how amazed I am that there is so much detail in this tiny design, it really is awesome!



Lastly, I cut the greeting out and attached it to the front of the card. I also created a small envelope in a coordinating patter paper to complete the card set. 


I hope you enjoyed today's project and will take a peek at the new MB sets. If you haven't tried making one of these small cards, give it a try, I'm sure you will love the final result!

Have a great day!

Baked with Love Card!

 Happy Friday! 

Tasha here sharing a matchbook card created with the new 6013 - MB Bakery set from Art Impressions. I love baking, so this set has quickly become a new favorite!



I enjoy making these little cards and I'm always amazed by the amount of detail in this small package. I had a lot of fun coloring the individual cupcakes, breads, and the little pie; so cute! I also liked mixing pattern paper to create the walls and floor, this totally looks like a bake shop!



The best part of these MB sets is that you can mix and match pieces from other MB sets, or add little stamps from non-MB sets to really customize the design. The possibilities are endless!



Thank you for checking out today's project and I hope you are inspired to create a matchbook card. Be sure to check out the Art Impressions shop to see all the new designs, I know you are going to LOVE them!!!

Top O'the Morning to Ya!

Happy Friday!

I’m excited to share a festive St. Patrick’s Day card featuring the adorable 5006-Sham-rock Set from Art Impressions. This little leprechaun always brings a smile!

I started by stamping and masking the leprechaun so I could position the pot o' gold perfectly. Masking paper also helped me add some four-leaf clovers behind the pot, creating a fun custom scene.

For the ground, I stamped more clovers and used green markers to color the grass. A soft blue sky and a cheerful rainbow completed the background.


The set’s sentiment selection is fantastic—“Let the shenanigans begin!” in bold black ink felt just right for this playful design.

To finish, I layered orange, green, gold glitter paper, and clover pattern paper to bring in more of the classic Irish colors.

Hope this card brings a little extra luck and joy to your day! Have a fabulous weekend!

Stay Fabulous!

 Happy Friday!

Tasha here sharing a new card inspired by the current Art Impressions "Drink Up!" Challenge. This theme is so fun and there are tons of awesome Art Impressions stamp sets that have drinks, but I LOVE the 5928-Stay Hydrated set.

I started by stamping the lady with her large tumbler and used the included dies to cut the image out. Since I love doggies, I used the paw print stamp to create the pattern on the tumbler. This would totally be a cup a would have!


After I colored the main image, I thought it would cute to include a little doggie on the card. I had a Pomeranian that looked just like the one used on this card and the size of this dog stamp worked great with the lady.


Lastly, I stamped "Stay Fabulous and carry a BIG TUMBLER!" with black ink and think this sentiment goes perfectly with this stylish lady! I also added layers of black and pink card stock, purple glitter paper, and a layer of Art Impressions pattern paper to complete the design.

Thank you for checking out today's project and I hope you will join in the "Drink Up!" Challenge!

Happy Valentine's Day!

 

Happy Valentine's Day!

Tasha here, sharing a new Valentine's Day card created with the fun 5181-Happy Mailbox Cubbies stamp set from Art Impressions. I absolutely adore the Art Impressions cubbies sets, and this one is perfect for spreading Valentine's cheer!

To make this card, I started by stamping the mailbox and all the tiny letters with black ink. I then cut everything out using the included dies, which made assembling the pieces a breeze. One of my favorite parts of this set is the variety of envelopes and packages you can mix and match to create a personalized design.

Next, I created the background by gluing die-cut grass onto a cloud-patterned paper. I used the 5062 - Rounded Rectangle A2 Double Stitched dies to cut the center panel; I love the stitched detail!


To finish the design, I layered metallic pink and teal cardstock, white cardstock, and Art Impressions heart-patterned paper. The combination of textures and colors adds dimension and a festive Valentine's Day vibe!

I hope you enjoyed today's card creation and feel inspired to craft your own Valentine's Day projects.
