welcome Little One!

Happy Friday!

Tasha here, and today I'm sharing a sweet little card for our current Un-Bear-ably Cute! challenge from Art Impressions. I used the adorable new 6017 – Baby Panda Set—this little bear is just too cute with her balloons!

I began by stamping the baby panda and cutting her out with the coordinating die. For the background, I added a piece of Art Impressions’ cloud pattern paper. I used foam tape to lift the panda off the card slightly, giving her the look of floating through the sky with her pretty pink balloons.

For the sentiment, I stamped “Welcome Baby” and layered it with pink and gray patterned paper to match the panda’s colors. I also added a pink gingham background and finished it off with a silver glitter frame for a bit of sparkle.

I hope you enjoyed today’s project and feel inspired to join in on the Un-Bear-ably Cute! challenge.

Have a creative weekend and happy crafting!

This Easter Card is All Ears (and a Little Beak)!

 Happy Friday!

Tasha here sharing an Easter card inspired by the current Art Impressions "ABC, 123" Challenge. The project features the fun 5401-Easter Chicks Set and these bunny ears are just too cute!!!

To go with the Challenge theme, I used the 5562-Journal Letter Die Set for the greeting. Instead of having the letters go straight across, I decided to have them curve around the oval frame. I think this looks awesome and love the pop of pastel blue!

Lastly, I attached layers of yellow, white, and pastel blue cardstock and a piece of carrot pattern paper to bring in tons of Spring colors. I also added a scalloped frame to complete the design. This card makes me happy and I can't wait to send it to someone special this Easter!

I hope you will join in the "ABC, 123" Challenge and wish you all a Happy Easter!

Easter Blessings!

 Happy Friday! 

Tasha here sharing a new Easter card featuring the sweet 4886K-Easter Blessings Set from Art Impressions. The bunny stamps included in this set are so cute and have a whimsical look that I love.

I stamped the bunny with the tulip on to white paper to start creating the Spring scene. After stamping I used Copic Markers to color the grass and sky before attaching little white clouds. It's hard to tell in the photo, but I used foam tape on one cloud to raise it up a bit. 

The greeting "Easter Blessings" was also included in this set and I used a small scissors to cut around the letters. This greeting fit perfectly in the center of the card and I like the handwritten lettering.

To complete the card I added two little Easter eggs to go with the theme and attached layers of pastel colored card stock and a piece of Art Impressions floral pattern paper. This paper is so pretty and I love the purple flowers!

Thank you for checking out today's card and I hope you are inspired to create an Easter card using the 4886K-Easter Blessings Set!

Have a wonderful day!

Happy 60th Birthday!

Happy Friday!

Tasha here sharing a card inspired by the current Art Impressions Milestone Birthday Challenge. I love making birthday cards, but there is something extra special about celebrating a milestone birthday. For my project I used the SC0680-Spare Me Stamp Set to create a masculine 60th Birthday card; I love this bowling theme!

I started by stamping the bowler with black hybrid ink and colored him with Copic Markers. To frame the image, I cute an oval and used yellow Distress Oxide ink around the edges to bring in more color and a golden glow. 

For the number 60, I used the 5911-Large Number Die Set and cut the numbers out twice to raise it up a bit. I used regular card stock for the bottom layer and added the gold glitter paper to the top. I thought the gold coordinated well with the other colors used and added a nice pop of sparkle.

The sentiment used was also included in this stamp set and is the perfect size to add under the bowler. I also added layers of card stock and gold glitter to give a more finished look. 

Lastly, I attached layers of teal, white, and dark teal card stock and a piece of checker pattern paper. These colors give the card a retro look, but I love the teal, black and white color combination!

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

Happy Spring Card

 Happy Friday!

Tasha here sharing a new card featuring the super cute "Happy Spring" Stamp Set from Art Impressions. Spring is a wonderful time of year and Spring cards are so much fun to make. For my project I used the bunny with a carrot car and love everything about this stamp!

I started the card by stamping the sweet bunny and used the included dies to cut him out. Once cut, I used Copic Markers to color him; I love these colors! For the background I layered a piece of polka dot pattern paper from the ground and cut two clouds to make a Spring scene.

This set includes several sentiments, but I thought "Happy Spring" went perfectly with this image. He looks like he is loving the warm Spring weather driving his carrot car with his pretty tulips!

Lastly, I added layers of teal and tan card stock and a piece of Art Impressions plaid paper. I also attached several white enamel dots to complete the design.

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

Happy Spring Card

Shake, Hop, and Celebrate!

 Happy Friday!

Sharing a new Easter card inspired by the current Art Impressions "I like to Move it, Move it!" Challenge. Easter will be here before we know it and Art Impressions has so many cute stamp sets for Easter cards and projects. I used the fun 5504-Happy Spring Set to create a shaker card and love this little bunny and chick!

To begin, I stamped the animals with black ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I also used the included die set to cut the images out making it super easy to layer on my project. This little chick with the Easter egg is adorable and the bunny looks so cheerful!

For the background, I used a clear shaker pocket and filled it with Spring themed shaker bits on top of an ombre blue paper. I also attached a green grass die cut to the ground and attached several enamel flowers to continue with the Spring theme.

For the greeting, I stamped "Happy Easter" with black ink on to bright white paper. For extra color, I attached a layer of teal paper; I love the pop of color behind the greeting!

Lastly, I attached layers of gold, white, and deep pink card stock and purple glitter paper for sparkle. This card is bright, happy, and perfect to send to someone special this Spring/Easter! 

Thank you for checking out my card and I hope you will join in the "I like to Move it, Move it!" Challenge!

Love Fur-Ever!

 Happy Friday everyone! 

Tasha here sharing a new card created with the super cute 6016-MB Pet Shop Set from Art Impressions. Art Impressions recently released four (4) awesome new MB sets, but this one has to be my favorite! I love animals and the variety of cute animals in this little shop scene is fantastic! 

To create the shop, I used the 5317-MB Template Dies and two different pieces of pattern paper. The plaid walls with the dark wood floor seemed like the perfect decor for a happy little pet shop. I also added two little windows to bring in more detail; the Template Die Set includes two styles of windows, so you can pick the perfect one to customize your little scene.

After all the sweet animals were colored, it was time to assemble. The MB Pet Shop's included dies cut and score the pieces to make it super easy to attach to the base. Every time I complete one of these MB cards I mention how amazed I am that there is so much detail in this tiny design, it really is awesome!

Lastly, I cut the greeting out and attached it to the front of the card. I also created a small envelope in a coordinating patter paper to complete the card set. 

I hope you enjoyed today's project and will take a peek at the new MB sets. If you haven't tried making one of these small cards, give it a try, I'm sure you will love the final result!

Have a great day!
