Happy Halloween!

 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!

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!

Pawfect Halloween Card!

Hi everyone and welcome back to my blog!
Today I'm sharing a Halloween card created with the Trick or Treat Stamp Set from Dare 2B Artzy. I love animal stamps and the trick or treating pets included in this set are just too cute!
For my card, I stamped one of the little doggies and the treat bucket. After coloring the images I used the coordinating die set to cut the images out. I like that this die set cuts around the "Happy Halloween!" greeting making it really easy to layer it on projects.


Before layering on the images, I used Distress Oxide Ink to add color to the sky. For the ground I cut a piece of D2BA pattern paper that had a Fall leaf print. This is great way to use small scraps and this print adds to the Fall scene perfectly!

Lastly, I added layers of black and orange card stock, and a piece of D2BA plaid pattern paper to bring in more Halloween colors. I also used the banner die to add more color behind the embossed greeting, I love the bright white lettering!

Thank you for checking out today's project and I hope you are inspired to create a fun pet-themed Halloween card. Be sure to check out the Dare 2B Artzy Shop for more details!

Have a wonderful day!

Embrace the Day Card Featuring the D2BA STAMPtember Limited Edition Set!

Hi friends and welcome back to my Blog!
Today I'm sharing a new card created with the D2BA limited edition set created for the Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember collaboration

This set has several images and sentiments to select from, but I LOVE these sunflowers! I stamped the flowers directly on the card and used masking paper to cover them before ink blending some purple clouds using the Clouds & Raindrops Stencil. I thought the purple color went well with a Fall card.

After ink blending the sky and adding green grass to the ground, I stamped the "Embrace and day!" greeting. To coordinate with the purple clouds, I used D2BA Wild Orchid Ink on the word "Embrace" and D2BA Totally Black Ink on the rest of the greeting. The pop of color in the sentiment adds a fun detail and I love the bright white on the top corner. 

To complete the card I added layers of dark purple and golden yellow card stock, gold glitter paper, and a layer of D2BA pattern paper. The green leaf print went perfectly with the flowers and colors used throughout the card. I also attached several purple enamel dots to complete the design.



Thank you for checking out today's project. Be sure to head over to Simon Says Stamp to see more card examples and to purchase this beautiful limited edition stamp set from Dare 2B Artzy!

Happy Friday!

Tasha here sharing a Halloween card created with the new 5934 - Spooky Crew Set from Art Impressions. I love making Halloween cards and this set has several super cute images to use on your project. I selected this adorable Cat stamp and created a not-so-spooky Halloween night scene.

The little kitty and witch hat were stamped with black ink and colored with Copic Markers. I used the included die set to cut the images out and attached the cat to the card with foam tape. This cat looks so happy; I love her smile!
This set also includes several sentiments, but I thought it would be fun to use the 5814 - Crooked Lamp & Sign Post Set and make a greeting. I stamped the sign post and used scissors to cut the image out. After coloring, I used a white gel pen to write "Happy Halloween" and "Boo!" on the signs. 

To create the background, I added layers of multi-colored leaves and little orange embellishments for the ground. For the sky, I added a bright white moon and two fun bats cut with the 5328 - Halloween Mini Dies Set. I love the pink color on the bats!

Lastly, I attached layers of black and deep pink card stock and a layer of Art Impressions Halloween pattern paper. This colorful pattern paper is great for Fall projects and I love the colors!

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

Happy Fall Y'all!

 Happy Friday!

Tasha here sharing a Fall themed card inspired by the current Art Impressions "Not Just Paper" Challenge.  My card features the super cute 5507 - Harvest Together Set and has a little bow and leaf stickers to go with the challenge theme. I love these colors!

I stamped the main image with black ink and used the included dies to cut it out. I used markers for the coloring and added little accents with a white gel pen; I love my gel pens! I also stenciled a pretty background to bring in more color and add to the Fall feel of the card. 


Lastly, I embossed "Happy Fall, Y'all" on to tan paper and added layers of gold glitter paper, colored card stock, and Art Impressions pattern paper to complete the card. 

I hope you enjoyed today's project and will participate in the "Not Just Paper" challenge.
Have a great day!

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!
