Swingin’ Through Retirement!

 Happy Friday!

Tasha here sharing a fun golf-themed card created with the new 6080-Birdie Betty Stamp Set and the 6101-Golf Paper Pack from Art Impressions.

I started by stamping Betty and her golf bag with black ink, cutting them out with the included dies, and coloring them up. One of my favorite things about Art Impressions is how cute the outfits always are; I had so much fun giving Betty a purple and white look with pops of pink on her shoes and glasses. Honestly, I’d love to have an outfit like this for a day on the golf course!

To build the card, I layered Betty and her bag over a patterned paper from the Golf Pack; I love the little golf scene design. 

For the sentiment, I stamped “Swingin’ Through Retirement” and die-cut it with a circle, then added a small purple heart to tie in with her outfit. A mix of green, tan, and plaid layers finished everything off with that classic golf vibe.

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

Let's Par Tee!

Happy Friday friends!

Tasha here sharing a new card inspired by the current Art Impressions Sports & Leisure Challenge. For this project, I used the 4902-Par-Tee Golfers Set and the 5062-Rounded Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies to create a fun golf-themed design.

I stamped the golfer lady with black ink and colored her outfit in pink Copic shades; perfect for a sunny day at the country club! The background features fluffy stenciled clouds and green grass (my favorite combo to make!). To frame the scene, I layered white and pink cardstock with plaid paper and added a pop of gold glitter.

To finish the card, I stamped “Let’s...Par Tee!” in pink ink and die-cut it with a rounded rectangle before popping it up with foam tape. I also attached two clear rhinestones to her skirt for extra sparkle. Such a fun way to celebrate the challenge theme!

I hope you enjoyed today's card and will join in the Sports & Leisure Challenge!

Hatty Birthday!

Happy Friday!

Tasha here sharing a new shaker card featuring the fun 5404-Miss Set from Art Impressions. I love making birthday cards, and adding a shaker element makes it feel extra festive and special!

To start, I stamped the lady and her birthday hat with black hybrid ink and colored them with Copic Markers. The coordinating dies included in this set made cutting the images quick and easy; and I love that the hat die is designed to fit perfectly on top of her head!

For the shaker, I used the 5063-Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies along with foam tape to create a raised frame. I added a piece of “Happy Birthday” patterned paper for the background and filled it with pretty sequins before sealing it up. On the acetate, I stamped “Hatty Birthday” and added a layer of silver glitter paper for extra sparkle.

To finish the card, I layered gray, white, and pink cardstock with more glitter paper for a coordinated look. A few white enamel dots were the perfect final touch to complete this fun, celebratory design.

Warm Winter Wishes!

 Happy Friday friends!

Tasha here sharing a card inspired by the current Art Impressions Stitches & Scallops Challenge. For this project, I used the super cute 5802 – Joyful Snowman Set and 6047 – Scalloped Square Dies to create a cheerful winter scene. It’s never too early to get a head start on holiday cards!

I stamped the snowman with black ink and colored him with Copic markers. To give his winter accessories extra personality, I used a black liner pen to draw a knitted pattern; little custom touches like this are some of my favorite ways to add detail. I even added a tiny heart to his pocket for an extra sweet look. After that, I cut him out with the coordinating die and popped him up with foam tape for dimension.

For the background, I created a snowy hill and paired it with Art Impressions snowflake pattern paper for the sky. To match the challenge theme, I added scalloped frames in two sizes; one with a slightly different scalloped edge, which adds great visual interest.

The card base features layers of blue, white, and gray cardstock, along with a piece of blue plaid pattern paper that ties in perfectly with the colors on the snowman. To finish it off, I used a white gel pen to add extra snowflakes directly onto the snowman for that frosty, wintery feel.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you’ll join us in the challenge!

 Happy Friday friends!

Tasha here sharing a new card created with the 6075-Crusin’ Carol Set and the 6098-Cruise Paper Pack from Art Impressions. I’ve been loving all the new Ai People sets, and this one is extra special to me; I LOVE cruising!

For this project, I went with bright tropical colors; perfect for a Caribbean getaway! One of my favorite parts of cruising is trying all the fun fruity drinks, and Carol is definitely on cruise control with her frozen cocktail in hand. Time to kick off that vacation!

The background came together super fast since it’s one of the awesome pre-printed sheets from the Cruise Paper Pack. Just add Carol and you’ve got an instant vacation scene; I love how easy and vibrant it turned out!

To finish the card, I layered tan, white, and navy cardstock along with a fun anchor-patterned paper to match the cruise theme. I also added one of the included sentiments to tie everything together.

Hope you enjoyed today’s project and that you're having a fabulous day!

Loungin' is a Lifestyle!

 Hi everyone!

Tasha here sharing a fun Summer card created with the new 6077-Loungin’ Linda stamp set and the 6100-Lounge Paper Pack from Art Impressions.

To start my card, I stamped the fabulous Linda image and used the included die to cut her out. I colored her using markers inspired by the sunny pool scene in the paper pack; so many cheerful Summer colors! I even used a black liner pen to add some custom details to her swimsuit. I love coloring clothing and hats, so this stylish stamp is quickly becoming one of my new favorites. And seriously, how fun is that oversized hat?

After Linda was all colored and ready to lounge, I popped her up in the center of the card using foam tape for extra dimension. To finish it off, I layered pink, coral, and white cardstock to match her outfit. These bright colors just scream Summer, and I love how everything came together!

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you’re having a wonderful day!

Vacation Vibes!

 Happy Friday!

Tasha here, and today I’m excited to share a new card featuring the fabulous 6075-Cruisin’ Carol Set from Art Impressions. I absolutely love tropical getaways, and Carol is clearly all set for sunshine, relaxation, and a fruity drink or two!

To start off, I stamped the fun Carol image along with the little suitcase using black hybrid ink. I then used the coordinating dies to cut them out before coloring with Copic Markers. I kept the color palette vibrant and tropical, and to match the theme, I created a beach-inspired background using layers of patterned paper. For the center card, I used the 5063-Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies to give it a clean, polished edge.

To add a bit of sparkle (because who doesn’t love a little glitter?), I layered in some silver glitter paper. Once that center piece was complete, I built up the rest of the card using dark purple, white, and lavender cardstock, along with a gorgeous floral patterned paper from Ai. The purple flowers really caught my eye and inspired the purples I used in Carol’s outfit; so fun to coordinate everything!

For the finishing touches, I stamped “Vacation Vibes” onto a small banner and added some white gel pen accents to highlight a few details to complete the design!

I hope today’s card inspires you to craft something sunny and fun using the Cruisin’ Carol Set!
