Seas the Day!

 Happy Friday!

Tasha here, sharing a cheerful Summer card featuring the adorable 5399-Gull-Friends Set from Art Impressions.

I just love these playful gulls and all their fun beachy accessories; they’re so much fun to create with! For this card, I stamped the main image and used the included dies to cut it out (coordinating dies = game changer!).

To build my little seaside scene, I layered paper to look like sand, water, and sky, then used the 5063-Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies to cut the center panel. For a splash of sparkle and color, I added layers of silver glitter, teal, and gray cardstock, plus a touch of Art Impressions plaid pattern paper.

To finish it off, I stamped the sentiment "Seas the Day" which is perfect for a Summer card!

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

Beary sweet Father’s Day card

 Happy Friday!

Tasha here, and I’m excited to share a beary sweet Father’s Day card using the adorable new 6064-WC Bear Set and 6063-Just For Him Set from Art Impressions; just in time for Sunday!

For this card, I started by stamping the baby bear first, then masked him off so Papa Bear could stand behind him; just like a big bear hug moment! With both bears masked, I brought the background to life using the 4960-WC Fir Trees Set(these trees are one of my favorites!). I stenciled yellow clouds and added yellow ink to the trees to give the effect of sunshine streaming through; so warm and cheerful!

To frame the scene, I used the 5135-Hexagon Double Stitched Dies for a fun focal point. The sentiment “Dad, You’re the Beary Best!” combines a greeting from the Bear Set and the word “Dad” from the Just For Him Set; plus a cute little paw print for extra charm!

I finished the card with layers of green, white, and gray cardstock and a fun tree print from the new 6072-Father’s Day Paper Pack.

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Beary sweet Father’s Day card

Buzzing into the Future!

Happy Friday!

Tasha here, and today I'm excited to share a fun bee-themed graduation card featuring the super cute 5925 – Honey Bee Set from Art Impressions. I absolutely love these little bee stamps and thought they’d be a fun twist on a traditional graduation card!

To start, I stamped three bees and gave them tiny graduation caps, then colored them with Copic markers. The background features honeycomb stamping and a hive in the center; I love the schoolhouse hive!

For the card base, I made a scalloped frame. I think the soft edges of the scallop work really well with the playful bee theme. Then I layered black, teal, and white cardstock, plus a piece of yellow plaid patterned paper from Art Impressions. I wanted to keep the classic yellow and black bee colors, but the teal adds a nice pop of color.

To finish off the card, I added two stamped sentiments, ink blended the edges of the center card, and attached a few enamel dots for extra shine and dimension. 

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today! I hope this card gives you some inspiration for your own spring or graduation-themed projects. Have a bee-autiful weekend!

Par-fect Father’s Day Card!

 Hi friends!

Tasha here sharing a fun new Father’s Day card inspired by the current Art Impressions Challenge.

For this project, I used the Art Impressions 4902 -Par-Tee Golfers Set; one of my favorites for making golf-themed cards. This dad is all geared up for some time on the course, and I think it's such a fun and playful image for Father's Day.

I started by stamping the golfer with black hybrid ink and colored him in using alcohol markers. After coloring, I brought out the brand-new 6047-Scalloped Squares Dies to cut out the center image and frame. I’m a huge fan of square cards, so I was super excited to use this new nesting die set!

To pull everything together, I added a plaid patterned paper background and layered it with green, white, and tan cardstock. I kept the color palette masculine to coordinate with the shades I used on the golfer’s outfit and his golf cart; these colors give it a classic feel.

Thanks so much for stopping by to check out today’s card! I hope you’re feeling inspired to create something special for the dads in your life. 

Have a wonderful day!

Happy Birthday Grandma!

 Happy Friday, Art Impressions friends!

Tasha here sharing a fun birthday card inspired by the current Art Impressions challenge. For this card, I used the new 6024-Tea Time Set and 6039-Just For Her Set to create something sweet for a special grandmother.

I started by stamping the stacked tea cups and had a great time coloring them in with markers. I added different designs to each cup using shades of blue and green, and of course, some highlights with my favorite white gel pen; I love my gel pens! Once everything was colored, I used the coordinating die to cut the image out.

For the sentiment, I stamped “Happy Birthday” and “Grandma” with black ink onto white cardstock. To give it a little extra flair, I matted the greeting with gold glitter paper; because a little sparkle goes a long way!

To bring in more color, I added layers of blue and cream cardstock along with a piece of patterned paper from the Art Impressions 5939-Fairy Garden Paper Pack. I finished the design with a few white enamel dots before adhering the card to a white card base.

I hope you enjoyed today’s project and feel inspired to join in the challenge. Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a crafty weekend!

Happy Birthday Grandma!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Friday!

Tasha here, and I’m excited to share a sweet Mother's Day card featuring two new Art Impressions sets: 6024–Tea Time and 6039–Just For Her! This card was inspired by the Art Impressions “Show Mom She's Special!” Challenge and made with love for my amazing Mother-in-Law.

I started with a metallic pink base for a soft, elegant shine, and layered it with gorgeous floral paper from the new 6051–Mother’s Day Paper Pack—I just love how fresh and pretty the prints are!

The centerpiece of the card is the adorable tea set, which I stamped, colored with pink-toned Copic markers, and then die-cut using the matching dies. I added dimension with foam tape and even drew in tiny pink flowers for a personal touch. A white gel pen helped brighten the details and highlight the flower centers.

To finish it off, I added the “Happy Mother’s Day” greeting and layered in some silver glitter paper—because a little sparkle goes a long way!

I hope this card inspires you to create something special and join us in the Show Mom She’s Special! Challenge. Wishing you all a creative weekend and a Happy Mother’s Day!

Congratulations 2025 Graduate!

Hi everyone and welcome back to my blog!

I'm so excited to share a new graduation card I created using some fabulous products from Dare 2B Artzy!

This card features a horizontal center step design—an interactive and dimensional base made easy with the Horizontal Center Step Die. I used the included layering dies to cut coordinating panels from some gorgeous D2BA patterned paper, which really sets the tone for a festive graduation celebration.

For the focal panel, I stamped the sentiment "For a Special Graduate" along with a classic graduation cap image from the Congrats Grad stamp set. I love how crisp and celebratory it looks right in the center!

To finish off the bottom panel, I used the Congrats Double Layered Word Die and adhered the die cut with foam tape for extra dimension—it really pops and I love the sparkle!

As a finishing touch, I added a few sunny yellow enamel dots and blended some Distress Oxide Ink around the center panel to tie the colors together and add depth.

Thanks for checking out my card and I hope you are inspired to create a fun center step graduation card!
