Next Stop the North Pole!

 Happy Friday Friends!

Tasha here sharing a new holiday card featuring the 5929 - Christmas Train Set from Art Impressions. Today is the first day of November, so it's time to get a jump start on holiday card making and this set is perfect for this year's Christmas cards, gift tags, and craft projects!

This set includes the coordinating dies and you can mix and match the train cars to fit your project. I decided to create a slimline card and wanted to use as many little penguins that would fit; I love penguins!!! My favorite part was coloring the little hats and scarves, I made each one a different color and used a white gel pen to give a knitted look.

For the greeting, I embossed "Choo-Choo Merry Christmas" directly on to one of the train cars and love how the bright white color pops against the dark red. To go with the holiday theme, I colored the train in shades of red & green and attached holly to three cars for extra detail.

Lastly, I added a night sky and white paper for the ground to resemble a snowy hill; I like the Winter night look. To continue with the holiday theme, I attached layers of black and red card stock, and snowflake pattern paper. I also adhered little peppermint shaped enamel pieces to the train's wheels and added red glitter to the berries to complete the design.

Thank you for checking out today's card and I hope you enjoyed a peek at the new 5929 - Christmas Train Set.

Have a great day!

Happy Halloween!

Hi friends and welcome back to my blog!

Today I'm sharing a pet-themed Halloween card featuring the Dare 2B Artzy "Trick or Treat" Set. This little doggie is just too cute and I love his costume!

To create this card I stamped the little doggie and used the coordinating die set to cut the image out. Before attaching the character, I used the D2BA slimline grass die to cut grass out of black dot pattern paper and attached a starry sky for the background. I also embossed "Happy Halloween!" on to black paper to coordinate with the Halloween design.

To bring in more color, I added orange and black card stock, gold glitter paper, and a layer of D2BA plaid pattern paper. This card is so festive and perfect to send to someone special this Halloween!

Thank you for checking out today's project and I hope you are inspired to create a Halloween card.

Have a great day!

Happy Halloween Slimline Card!

 Happy Friday!

Tasha here sharing a Halloween slimline card inspired by the current Art Impressions "All the Fall" Challenge. My project features the fun 5460-Halloween Slimline Set and I just LOVE these cute little critters!

I started by stamping the main image and leaves with black ink and used the included coordinating dies to cut them out. It can be a challenge at times to create with large stamps, but I think having a little outdoor scene with a bright moon was a great way to highlight the furry friends and their pumpkins.

The sentiment I selected is from the 5037-Halloween Magic Set; another one of my favorite sets. I embossed the greeting on to black paper and think the bright white goes great with moon and sky background. 

Lastly, I attached gold glitter paper, deep teal and black card stock, and a layer of pretty leaf print pattern paper. I also added a little Distress Oxide Ink to the moon to complete the card.

Thank you for checking out today's project and I hope you will participate in the "All the Fall" Challenge!

Have a great 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!

Fall Blessings!

Hello friends and welcome back to my blog. Today I'm sharing a Fall card featuring the Bushel of Happiness Stamp Set from Dare 2B Artzy. 

To create this card, I started by stamping the ladder and basket of apples and used the coordinating die set to cut them out. I really like using the die set for this ladder image since it cuts the openings perfectly allowing the background to show.

Before attaching the main stamped pieces to the center card, I used the D2BA Clouds & Raindrops Stencil to make the ground and sky. The dark green and deep golden colors add to the Fall vibe and I love the puffy yellow clouds!

Lastly, I stamped "Wishing You a Bushel of Fall Blessings" and again used the coordinating dies to cut the words out. I love the "Fall Blessings" font and the orange color goes with the colors used throughout the card. I also added layers of orange and brown card stock and a piece of D2BA plaid pattern paper to complete the design. 

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

Supplies Used:

• Bushel of Happiness Stamp Set
• Bushel of Happiness Die Set
• 6x6 Pack-Fall Harvest
• Bright Pumpkin Ink Pad

 Happy Friday!

Tasha here sharing a Halloween card featuring the cute owl from the new 5934-Spooky Crew Set from Art Impressions. The Spooky Crew Set has quickly become my go to for Halloween projects this year and I love that the set includes little hats to customize your image; I love the witch hat!

To create the background, I stamped the light post from the 5602-Spooky House & Post Set and used masking paper to cover it before ink blending. After covering the image, I masked off the moon area and used several shades of Distress Oxide Ink and water droplets to create the sky.

After the background was done, I removed all the masking paper and attached the Owl and two ghosts. I also added layers of black card stock, gold glitter paper, and Art Impressions star pattern paper to complete the card. 

I hope you enjoyed today's project and are inspired to create a fun Halloween card!

Have a wonderful day!

Happy Halloween!

I Love Fall!

 Hi friends!

Tasha here sharing a Fall card inspired by the current Art Impressions "Farm Fresh" Challenge. Fall is my favorite season, so for this challenge I created a Fall scene featuring the 5507-Harvest Together Set and 5592-Harvest Journal Die Set.

The scarecrow image was stamped with black ink and colored with Copic Markers. I used a white gel pen to add little details to the patches, and gave each patch a different design. I also used the included coordinating die to cut the image out. I love that several Art Impressions sets include the dies.

Before attaching the scarecrow to the card, I created a Fall scene. The sky was created with Distress Oxide Ink and a Sunburst stencil. I also used the 5592-Harvest Journal Die Set to make some cool pumpkins for the background, I love pumpkins!

To complete the card, I stamped "I Love Fall Most of All" on to a stitched banner. This sentiment goes perfectly with this scene and I love the cool farmhouse style font. I also added layers of brown and yellow card stock, and a piece of Art Impressions pattern paper to complete the design.

I hope you enjoyed today's card and will join in the "Farm Fresh" Challenge!

Have a great day!
