Pink Magic!

 Happy Friday  friends!

Tasha here sharing a Halloween card created with the Art Impressions 5506-Peek-a-Boo Set. Now that we are in the month of September, I am in full Fall mode and have been having so much fun bringing out my Halloween sets

I love the color pink, so I decided to add tons of pink shades to this card. I love how the pink pops against the black and white spiderweb pattern paper. The sky was created with Distress Oxide Ink, and I used Copic Markers for the rest of the coloring. I added some fun white gel pen accents and finished the card with the spiderweb pattern paper.

I had so much fun making this spooky and bright Halloween card!

Christmas in July Challenge!

 Happy Friday friends! 

Tasha here sharing a card inspired by the current Art Impressions Christmas in July Challenge.

I love making holiday cards and finding ways to use my everyday stamp sets for Christmas. For this card, I used the piggy from the 5180-Barnyard Animal Cubbies stamp set from Art Impressions and added a little Santa hat to make him holiday ready.

For the background scene, I used a stamp from the retired Sleigh Ride Circlet MTF set. I love the little wreath on the tree and the falling snow. It makes such a sweet winter scene.

I finished the card with pattern paper from the 6143-Woodland Christmas Paper Pack, layered it with red, gray, and white cardstock, and added a simple "Peace, Love & Joy" sentiment.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope this card inspires you to give your non-holiday stamps a festive twist and join the Christmas in July Challenge.

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Friday Friends!

Tasha here sharing a Father's Day card featuring the 5406 -Mr. Set from Art Impressions. This sharp-dressed gentleman is ready for summer and has his hammer in hand to tackle any project!

I stamped the man, hammer, and tool belt, then used the coordinating dies to cut them out. The hand die includes an opening to hold the hammer, and I customized the tool belt by removing the tape measure for a unique look.

For the background, I added an embossed floor with silver metallic wax on black cardstock and a brick pattern to complement the handyman theme. To finish the card, I layered tan, cream, and brown cardstock with a piece of Art Impressions plaid paper. I love how these colors and patterns come together for a fun masculine design.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Easter!

 Happy Friday everyone!

Tasha here sharing a fun new Easter card created with items from Art Impressions. I still can't believe it's already Easter time, seems like the year just started. For my project, I used the 6008-Bunny Hugs set and 6103-Baby Keepsake Set to make a cheerful little scene. I had a lot of fun coloring the pretty flowers and love the mix of colors!

I started by stamping the bunny, flowers, and basket and used the included dies to cut all the images out before coloring. After, I used Copic Markers to color before layering the pieces on to the card with foam tape. I  like having a little dimension on my cards. 

For the greeting, I stamped "Bunny Hugs" on to white paper. I love the scripty font style and the size of this sentiment. I also matted the greeting with the same papers I used for the larger layers to have everything coordinate.


Lastly, I attached layers of white, pink, metallic pink, and pink plaid pattern paper. I also used a white gel pen to add little accents to the images to complete the design. 

Thank you for checking out today's project and I hope you all have a wonderful Easter weekend!

Valentine's Day Card!

Happy Friday  friends! 

Tasha here, with a little dose of crafty Valentine joy! Today I’m sharing a sweet and cozy Valentine’s Day card featuring the adorable kitty from the 6105-Fall Keepsake Set from Art Impressions. I absolutely love mixing and matching my stamp sets, and this little cat was just meant to be paired with a basket full of hearts; instant cuteness overload! 


To create this love-filled scene, I layered patterned paper for a sweet “room” effect; wood print for the floor and plaid prints for the walls. Then I attached a variety of paper hearts to add to the Valentine theme.



The charming little basket and the sentiment “Sweet as Can Be” come from the 6103-Baby Keepsake Set, and honestly… can you ever have too many hearts? I think not! 




Lastly, I used the 6047-Scalloped Square Dies to cut the center card and two layers. I also added a piece of heart pattern paper from the new 6181-Valentines Series 2 Paper Pack to complete the design. 

I hope you enjoyed this project and wish you all a Happy Valentine's Day!

Purr-fect Valentine's Day Card!

 Happy Friday and Happy New Year friends! 

Tasha here sharing my first project of 2026 featuring the sweet kitty from the 5219 Lovable Animals Set from Art Impressions .

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and this card is perfect to send to someone special. I stamped the cat with black ink and used the included die to cut the image out before coloring. The die also creates an opening to add little accessories, so I added a sparkly heart to go with the theme.

For the center of the card, I created a cheerful background using heart pattern paper for the sky. I love hearts! For extra color and sparkle, I added layers of pink cardstock and finished it off with a scalloped silver glitter frame. To complete the card, I used a white gel pen to add tiny stitch marks and adhered a Happy Valentine’s Day greeting.

This project was such a fun way to kick off the new year with something cute and love filled. I hope you enjoyed this card and are having a wonderful day!

Holiday Cheer with a Tiny Deer!

Hi everyone and welcome back to my blog!

Tasha here sharing a holiday card created with the new 6104-Christmas Keepsake Set from Art Impressions.

This sweet little reindeer stamp is just too cute and he looks adorable against the falling snow pattern paper. To build the scene, I added a white snowy ground and placed a gift and tree in the center of the card before framing everything with a metallic gold frame. The dark blue snowy sky and golden color pair beautifully with the pops of green and red.

To finish the design, I added a holiday plaid pattern paper with red and white card stock layers. A simple greeting completes the card and ties the whole look together. 

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

Christmas in the Woods!

Happy Friday friends!
Tasha here sharing a Holiday card created with the new 6085-Woodland Snowman Scene stamp set from Art Impressions. Now that we’re officially in December, it’s the perfect time to finish (or start!) those holiday cards and projects, and this sweet snowman scene is wonderful for sending warm Christmas wishes to someone special.
To build my scene, I stamped the snowman and added a cluster of pine trees behind him to give the design a cozy woodland feel. I used Bleed Proof White to paint snowy highlights on the trees, add texture to the ground, and create soft falling snowflakes; this little detail really brings the winter magic to life.


For the sentiment, I stamped “Merry Christmas” in bright red ink on a crisp white banner and attached it to layers of Green, Red, and White cardstock. A festive plaid patterned paper ties everything together and adds that classic holiday charm.

I hope this card inspires you to get creative and enjoy a little crafty time this season!

There's Snow One Like You!

Happy Friday!

Tasha here sharing a snowy holiday card featuring the new 6107 – Snowman Hugs Set from Art Impressions. I am not a fan of Winter, but I dolove creating cards with snowy scenes and cute snowman stamps—and this little couple is just adorable!

After stamping the sweet pair, I used the included dies to cut them out before coloring. To build the Winter scene, I framed them with the 5782–Snowflake Die, which adds such a perfect frosty border for this style of card.

For extra color and texture, I layered the center panel over an oddly embossed red card stock piece, then added navy blue and black layers along with a candy cane striped pattern paper. I love how these colors pop together!

Lastly, I stamped a simple “Merry & Bright” greeting in red ink and attached it to the bottom of the center panel. Three glittery enamel stars in the sky finish the design with a little sparkle.

Thank you for checking out today’s card, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Warmest Wishes!

 Happy Friday! Tasha here sharing a holiday card created with the new 6084-Woodland Mailbox Scene Set from Art Impressions. Now that we are in the month of November, it's time to get going on holiday cards and this cute set is perfect for happy holiday greetings! I just love the little bunny pair mailing their Christmas cards; so sweet!


I colored the scene with markers and added falling snow with a white gel pen. To complete the design, I layered silver glitter paper, gray, white, and blue cardstock, along with a piece of Art Impressions patterned paper. For extra detail, I used a border die along the bottom edge of the patterned layer; it adds a fun little touch!


Lastly, I stamped “Warmest Wishes for a Merry Christmas” onto a white banner and adhered it to the card to finish the design.

Thank you so much for stopping by today, and I hope this inspires your holiday cardmaking! ❄️✨

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween Art Impressions Friends!

Tasha here sharing a fun Trick or Treat card featuring the new 6112–Pumpkin Parade Set.

This card is perfect for Halloween, but it also fits the current Ai “Along Came a Spider” Challenge. I added sparkly web layers to create a glowing night scene; so fun for this time of year!

For my card, I used the adorable little fox and his tiny wagon (how cute is that?!). I love the look of nighttime trick-or-treating with all the festive lights and decorations shining while everyone walks around. Our neighborhood’s event is tonight, and I can’t wait to see all the costumes!

To finish the design, I layered Art Impressions pattern papers and attached an embossed greeting. The mix of black, white, and pops of night green really makes the sparkle on the grass and tree stand out.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card and have a wonderfully spooky Halloween! 🎃🕸️

Warm Winter Wishes!

 Happy Friday friends!

Tasha here sharing a card inspired by the current Art Impressions Stitches & Scallops Challenge. For this project, I used the super cute 5802 – Joyful Snowman Set and 6047 – Scalloped Square Dies to create a cheerful winter scene. It’s never too early to get a head start on holiday cards!

I stamped the snowman with black ink and colored him with Copic markers. To give his winter accessories extra personality, I used a black liner pen to draw a knitted pattern; little custom touches like this are some of my favorite ways to add detail. I even added a tiny heart to his pocket for an extra sweet look. After that, I cut him out with the coordinating die and popped him up with foam tape for dimension.

For the background, I created a snowy hill and paired it with Art Impressions snowflake pattern paper for the sky. To match the challenge theme, I added scalloped frames in two sizes; one with a slightly different scalloped edge, which adds great visual interest.

The card base features layers of blue, white, and gray cardstock, along with a piece of blue plaid pattern paper that ties in perfectly with the colors on the snowman. To finish it off, I used a white gel pen to add extra snowflakes directly onto the snowman for that frosty, wintery feel.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you’ll join us in the challenge!
