Let it Snow!

 Happy Friday friends! 

Tasha here sharing a card featuring the 6088-Woodland Bench Scene stamp from Art Impressions. It has been snowing a lot where I live and the Winter weather inspired me to create a snowy little scene. These furry friends look happy enjoying the falling snow.

The card was stamped with black hybrid ink and colored with Copic Markers. The stamped image already had some snow, but I added more with a white gel pen. I also used the same gel pen to create random snowflakes making sure some of the flakes went on top both of the critters. 

Lastly, I used a black liner pen to create a pattern on each scarf; I love the pop of color! I also attached several paper layers to complete the design. 

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

Let it Snow!

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!

Holiday Cheer with a Tiny Deer!

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!

There's Snow One Like You!

Season's Greetings!

 Happy Friday Friends!

Tasha here sharing a new card inspired by the current Art Impressions LEON Day! Challenge. Can you believe we’re already halfway to Christmas? LEON (which is “NOEL” spelled backward) is the perfect time to start thinking about winter cards, and I had so much fun creating this snowy design!

For my project, I used the adorable 5954-Woodland Bears Set. I just love this little bear and the sweet bird; it’s such a cozy winter scene! I stamped the main image with black ink and used the coordinating die to cut it out before coloring the image with Copic Markers.

To build the background, I layered white cardstock to look like a snowy hillside and added several pine trees behind the bear to create a forest effect. For the sky, I used a snow print pattern paper with falling snowflakes; it really adds a winter feel.

To complete the card, I added layers of silver glitter paper for some sparkle, along with green, white, and blue cardstock. I also included a piece of Art Impressions’ winter-themed patterned paper to tie everything together.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card and feel inspired to join the LEON Day! Challenge; it's a great excuse to start your holiday crafting early!

Have a wonderful weekend!

 Happy Friday!

Tasha here sharing my first Art Impressions project of 2025! Today's card was inspired by the current Art Impressions "Craft Time is Golden" Challenge and features the 5953-Woodland Critters Set.

Now that Winter is in full swing and we are getting more snow here in Wisconsin, I thought it would be fun to create a little winter wonderland scene. I love owls and this stamp is perfect for Fall and Winter projects, his little scarf is just too cute!

I colored the owl with Copic Markers and used the included dies to cut the image out. To go with the "Golden" theme, I create a sparky gold glitter frame which looks awesome with the blue snowflake background. Art Impressions has great pattern paper!

Lastly, I added layers of blue, white, and brown card stock, pine cone pattern paper, and a scalloped frame using the same snowflake paper behind the owl. I also attached a "Thinking of You" sentiment to complete the design.

I hope you enjoyed today's project are will participate in the "Craft Time is Golden" Challenge!

Joyful Snowman Card!

 Happy Friday!

Tasha here sharing a Christmas card featuring the 5802 - Joyful Snowman Set from Art Impressions. This set has the cutest little snowmen stamps and several greetings for holiday cards and projects. I think this snowman would also look great on gift tags.

To begin, I stamped the snowman and used the included dies to cut the image out. For the coloring, I used  teal, purple, and blue Copic Markers and added a light pink for his cheeks. I also used a white gel pen to create a design on the hat and scarf, I love coloring clothing!

To make the background, I added a pattern paper for the sky and cut a hill out of white paper to look like snow. I also attached several small white enamel dots to go with the snowy sky. 

After I completed the background, I attached a metallic teal frame and stamped a sentiment with teal ink. I think this sentiment goes perfectly with the joyful snowman and I like how it looks with the silver glitter frame.

Lastly, I added layers of plaid paper, dark teal card stock, and silver glitter paper. All of these colors look so pretty together and in person the glitter is so sparkly. Teal and silver colors always look awesome on winter cards and it's one of my favorite color combinations.

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

Joyful Snowman Card!

Joy of the Season!

 Happy Friday Friends!

Tasha here sharing a new holiday card inspired by the current Art Impressions Masculine Masterpieces Challenge. I can honestly say that I struggle with creating masculine cards so this challenge was a great for me. After looking at all my stamp sets I kept going back to the new 5953 - Woodland Critters Set and was drawn to the holiday deer. I really like the one ornament hanging from his antler!

For the background, I created a little forrest wine scene. I tried to keep the colors darker to go with the masculine theme and also chose darker colors for the deer's outfit. I usually go with bright colors but love how this sky looks with the falling snow! 

After I was done with the center card, I added layers of red and green card stock, and attached a piece of Art Impressions plaid pattern paper. I wanted to stick with traditional holiday colors and this plaid paper goes great with the outdoor scene. 

Lastly, I used a white gel pen to add snow to the trees and decorate the deer's clothes. I also attached a simple holiday greeting to complete the design. I hope you enjoyed today's project and will join in the current Masculine Masterpieces Challenge!

Mousey Christmas!

 Happy Friday!

Tasha here sharing a new holiday card featuring the super cute 5564-Mousey Christmas Set from Art Impressions. Now that we are in the month of November I have been busy working on this year's holiday cards. Art Impressions has so many cute holiday sets, but this little mouse is adorable and so much fun to color!

The little mouse image was stamped with black ink and colored with Copic Markers. I used the included dies to cut the him out and attached him to the card with foam tape. I love the hot cocoa cup filled with whip cream, marshmallows, and candy canes; I would totally enjoy this warm drink!

To complete the card I attached a simple holiday greeting and layers of red and teal card stock, a pretty silver glitter paper, and a piece of Art Impressions holiday paper. I also adhered several white enamel dots to complete the design. 

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

Hedgehog Holiday Card!

 Happy Friday Friends!

Tasha here sharing a new holiday card inspired by the current Art Impressions Tres Chic Challenge. I was inspired by the brown tones and buffalo check print in the challenge photo and thought this color combination would be perfect for a holiday card.

The sweet little hedgehog image is from the new 5953-Woodland Critters Set. I love animal stamps and this one is adorable with his little scarf and tree. I colored him with markers and used the included die set to cut the stamped image out. For the scarf, I used a white gel pen to add a knit-like detail.

To create the background, I attached several glittery snowflakes and used the same glitter paper for the ground. The sparkle is so pretty and these falling snowflakes are a great size for cards. I also thought mixing up the sizes and having some outside of the frame gave the card more interest.

Lastly, I embossed "Merry Christmas" on to black paper and attached layers of brown, red, and black card stock. I also added a piece of buffalo check pattern paper to bring in the colors/patterns from the challenge inspiration photo. I love how this turned out!

Thank you for checking out today's card and I hope you will join in the challenge!

Have a wonderful day!

Hedgehog Holiday Card!

Cozy Holidays!

Hi Friends and welcome back to my blog!

Sharing a holiday card today created with the new Cozy Holidays Stamp Set from Dare 2B Artzy. Since the holiday season will be here before we know it, I thought it would be a good time to jump start holiday card making. I love snow globes and thought this image would be perfect for a holiday project!

To create the fun fold card base, I used the Horizontal Center Step Die set. This die cuts and scores the card stock to an A2 sized card; perfect for mailing!

The snow globe was stamped with D2BA Totally Black Ink and I used the coordinating die set to cut the image out. I also used the same black ink on part of the greeting. The "Peace & Love" greeting was stamped with D2BA Pomegranate Ink and cut out using a die. I like that the die set includes dies to cut around the sentiments/greetings. 

Lastly, I added layers of green plaid paper from the D2BA Winter Escape Collection Variety Pack. I love the traditional Red & Green colors and the pop of gold glitter!

Thank you for checking out today's project and I hope you enjoyed this holiday card!

Koala-Ty Valentine's Day Card!

Happy Friday! 

Tasha here, sharing my latest card featuring the super cute 5349 - Koalas Set from Art Impressions. Koalas are so cute, and what better way to express that love than through a special Valentine's Day card!

The process began with the adorable Koala stamp, and to add that perfect touch of Valentine's Day charm, I introduced the heart balloon from the 5491 - Front Porch Party Set. The pop of red from the heart balloon not only screams Valentine's Day but also adds a delightful contrast to the card.

To create the scene, I used masking paper to cover the koala image before working on the sky and ground. The unveiling of the stamped image when lifting the masking paper is so fun and it's a great way to color a background on a single-layer card.

To make the ballon pop out more, I cut a second ballon image with the included coordinating die set. Layering it onto the card with foam tape brought a dynamic 3D effect, and a simple string drawn with a black Copic liner pen connected the heart balloon to the koala.

No card is complete without layers, and for this creation, I opted for glitter paper, card stock, and heart-themed pattern paper to complete the design.

Whether it's for an anniversary, Valentine's Day, Sweetest Day, or just to brighten someone's day any time of the year, this style of card is sure to make someone happy and smile!

Wishing you all a wonderful and craft-filled weekend!
