To the Birthday Girl Card

Happy Friday friends!

Tasha here, and today I’m sharing a birthday card inspired by the current Art Impressions  Enjoy the Ride Challenge. Art Impressions has so many fun vehicle-themed stamps, but I’ve always been drawn to this vintage truck design. One of my favorite details is the open window, which makes the perfect spot to add a little character. I chose a gnome for this card because I can never resist a cute gnome!

To give the truck a birthday theme, I stamped a sweet little dog and a bunch of balloons in the truck bed. The balloon images fit perfectly and add a fun, festive touch to the scene.

For the sentiment, I used “To the Birthday Girl” from the 5735-Birthday Sentiment Set. I layered it onto gold glitter paper for a bit of sparkle, which really helps the greeting stand out.

To finish the card, I added layers of pink, cream, and yellow cardstock along with a floral patterned paper. I also used Copic markers to create a simple country road background that ties everything together and completes the design.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope this card inspires you to join the challenge!

Happy Birthday!

 Happy Friday friends!

Tasha here sharing a new birthday card created with the sweet Party Bear Freebie Stamp and 6178-Birthday Wishes Stamp Set from Art Impressions. The little freebie bears are all so cute, and this one is great for a birthday card or gift tag. I love his cute smile and the balloon!

For this little party scene, I stamped the bear and used masking paper before stenciling the brick wall background. I love the color pink and wanted this card to be bight and full of pink color, so I used a variety of shades to customize the design. I also added Distress Oxide ink around the edges of the center card to create a spotlight effect around the bear.

For the greeting, I stamped "Happy Birthday" from the 6178-Birthday Wishes Stamp Set. Instead of coloring in the letters completely, I used pink Copic Markers on the bottom and kept the tops white to give the words an ombre look. I also added little white accents with a white gel pen; I think it looks sparkly.

Lastly, I added layers of pink, orange, and white card stock and a piece of pink plaid pattern paper. I have been really into bright colors white pops of bright on my cards lately and pink and orange always look great together!

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

Tasha here sharing a Summer card featuring the fun 5928-Stay Hydrated Set from Art Impressions. Every time I use this stamp set this lady reminds me of myself and the large tumblers that I tote around. I do not have a leopard print one, but would totally get this colorful design!

For the card, I stamped the lady and used the included die to cut the image out. After, I used Copic Markers for the coloring and added details with a black liner pen and white gel pen. Coloring clothing is one of my favorite things to do and this outfit looks perfect for enjoying a warm day outside. I also love her cool, sunglasses!

Lastly, I created a simple background and cut the center card and frame layer with wavy rectangle dies. I thought this creative border would go with the Summer vibe. I also added layers of cream and orange card stock and a piece of Art Impressions pattern paper to bring in more color and interest. This print is so fun and the color worked great with the shades used on the center card.

I hope you enjoyed this project and are having a wonderful day!

Tasha here sharing a pickleball card created with the fun 6074-Pickleball Patty Set and 6097-Pickleball Paper Pack from Art Impressions. I recently got this set and think it's just perfect for all my pickleball playing friends. Patty looks like she is living her best life on the court and I love her outfit!

This card was also inspired by the current challenge. The challenge is all about the color Yellow, so I used the color on Patty's outfit and on the bottom card stock layer. I love the pink & yellow color combination with the blue plaid paper!

Lastly, I stamped "Serving Sass and Smashes!" on to a coordinating scalloped frame. I also used a large scalloped frame to cut the center card. I think scalloped edges give a nice polished look to cards and like that this set includes a variety of sizes. 

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

Seek Wisdom!

Happy Friday  friends!

Tasha here sharing a card created with the new 6203-Wisdom Set 1 and 6204-Wisdom Set 2 from Art Impressions. These sets are perfect for so many different projects, and the images can be used on their own or combined for completely different looks.

As soon as I looked through the stamps in Wisdom Set 1, I was drawn to the owl and jewels and knew I wanted to create something featuring both images. To make this scene, I stamped the owl first and covered him with masking paper before stamping the jewels. I also masked the jewels before stamping the large banner so it would sit nicely in the background. Masking paper is definitely one of my favorite crafting tools!

I usually reach for bright colors with lots of pink and white, but this time I wanted to try something a little different. I used shades of brown inspired by the owl and blended Distress Oxide inks around the center panel to give the card a soft vintage feel. For a little extra detail, I added a piece of Art Impressions patterned paper that worked perfectly with the colors and overall theme of the card.

To finish everything off, I stamped two sentiments from Wisdom Set 2. The longer sentiment fit beautifully across the banner, and the larger “Seek Wisdom” greeting was layered with the same tan and brown cardstock used throughout the design.

I hope you enjoyed today’s project and are having a wonderful start to your weekend!

 Happy Friday Friends!

Tasha here sharing a bright Spring card created with the new 6188-FG Daisy Border Stamp Set from Art Impressions . Now that we are in the month of May, this stamp set is getting me excited for the pretty flowers to start popping up. I have a variety of flowers, one flowering tree, and a lilac bush at my house and just love when everything is in full bloom. 

To make this card, I stamped the floral image and colored the flowers with Copic Markers. I was going to have white petals, but wanted more color and love the pop of blue. To embellish, I used a white gel pen to add little accents and ink blended around the border with orange Distress Oxide ink. I also used foam tape to raise the center card up; I think the foam makes the inked edges really stand out nicely.

For the greeting, I stamped "Many Thanks" from the 6186-FG Tulip Border Set and matted it with gold glitter paper. To add more detail, I used the 6048-Scalloped Rectangle Dies; the two smallest dies created this layered look.

Lastly, I attached pretty yellow floral pattern paper, and orange, white, and pink cardstock. I wanted to coordinate with the colors used on the flowers and keep the colors light and bright to complete the design.

Thank you so much for checking out my card and I hope you are having a wonderful day!

 Happy Friday friends!

Tasha here sharing a new card created with the pretty 6186-FG Tulip Border Stamp Set from Art Impressions. I love tulips and this clear stamp makes it so easy to add a boarder of tulips to any card or project.

I started by stamped the tulips before using a scalloped rectangle die to cut the center card. After, I colored the images with Copic Markers and blended yellow ink around the boarder to bring in more color. The purple and yellow colors look fantastic together!

The stamp set includes a sentiment, but I used a greeting from the 5734-Friend Sentiment Set. I like the playful font style and it fit perfectly in the center. To add a little extra detail, I added two little bee embellishments to two ends. 

Lastly, I attached a purple scalloped layer to frame the center card before adding a piece of plaid pattern paper. I also attached silver glitter paper, purple card stock and tan card stock to complete the project.

I hope you enjoyed today's card and will be inspired to create a fun floral design. Also, be sure to check out the current Art Impressions challenge!
