Serving Sass and Smashes!

 Happy Friday  Friends!

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!

Plant Memories Card!

 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!

Fabulous Gardening Gail!

 Happy Friday Friends!

Tasha here sharing a card featuring the fun 6076-Gardener Gail stamp set and the 6099-Garden Paper Pack from Art Impressions to create a fun little gardening scene.

I started by stamping Gail and used the included dies to cut the image out before coloring. I wanted to coordinate with the pattern paper, so I colored the flower with the same shades on the flowers in the background. I love the happy yellow petals!

To complete the card, I added layers of card stock and a frame cut from Art Impressions floral pattern paper. I also stamped "Pruned & Fabulous" and attached a white frame around the greeting. I think these colors are great and the sentiment is perfect to send to anyone, any time of the year!

I hope you enjoyed today's project and are having a wonderful day!

Have a Magical Day!

 Happy Friday friends!

Tasha here sharing a new shaker card inspired by the current Art Impressions “I See Right Through You” challenge. This one was really fun to put together with all the soft, magical touches.

I started by stamping one of the sweet fairies from the Art Impressions 5915-Woodland Fairy Set. I used the coordinating dies to cut her out before coloring. I colored everything with Copic markers, keeping the colors light and whimsical.

For the shaker, I used circle dies to cut out the center window, then used two different circle dies to create the frame. I love the sparkly paper for this part since it adds just the right amount of shine.

For the greeting, I stamped “Hope Your Day is Magical” onto white cardstock and added two butterflies from the 5728-Mushroom Cubbies Set. I lightly ink blended around the sentiment with yellow ink to add a soft glow.

Inside the shaker, I used a mix of pastel hearts, stars, and sequins. The mix works really well with the fairy theme and adds a fun, playful look.

To finish the card, I used scalloped rectangle dies to cut layers of pastel purple cardstock and floral patterned paper. I also added layers of white, blue, and pink cardstock to complete the design.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed the card and will join in the challenge!

Egg-tremely Cute!

 Happy Friday Friends!

Tasha here sharing an egg-stra cute card created with the 5737-Bunny & Chicks Set, 6198-Flower Signage Set, and 6008-Bunny Hugs Set from Art Impressions .

To create this project, I started by stamping the center card with the Flower Signage stamp and added the "Egg-tremely Cute," greeting from the 6008-Bunny Hugs Set to the center of the sign. It fit perfectly! 

After, I drew in flowers and colored everything with Copic Markers. I used a black liner pen and white gel pen to add more details to the flowers.

I love little chicks, and this trio is just too adorable. To coordinate with the sentiment, I also added three eggs using the egg stamp from the Bunny Hugs Set. They work great to bring the whole scene together!

Lastly, I added layers of blue, yellow, and white cardstock, gold glitter paper for sparkle, and a piece of plaid pattern paper that I thought went well with the design. 

I hope you enjoyed today's card and are having a wonderful day!
