Baked with Love Card!

 Happy Friday! 

Tasha here sharing a matchbook card created with the new 6013 - MB Bakery set from Art Impressions. I love baking, so this set has quickly become a new favorite!



I enjoy making these little cards and I'm always amazed by the amount of detail in this small package. I had a lot of fun coloring the individual cupcakes, breads, and the little pie; so cute! I also liked mixing pattern paper to create the walls and floor, this totally looks like a bake shop!



The best part of these MB sets is that you can mix and match pieces from other MB sets, or add little stamps from non-MB sets to really customize the design. The possibilities are endless!



Thank you for checking out today's project and I hope you are inspired to create a matchbook card. Be sure to check out the Art Impressions shop to see all the new designs, I know you are going to LOVE them!!!

Top O'the Morning to Ya!

Happy Friday!

I’m excited to share a festive St. Patrick’s Day card featuring the adorable 5006-Sham-rock Set from Art Impressions. This little leprechaun always brings a smile!

I started by stamping and masking the leprechaun so I could position the pot o' gold perfectly. Masking paper also helped me add some four-leaf clovers behind the pot, creating a fun custom scene.

For the ground, I stamped more clovers and used green markers to color the grass. A soft blue sky and a cheerful rainbow completed the background.


The set’s sentiment selection is fantastic—“Let the shenanigans begin!” in bold black ink felt just right for this playful design.

To finish, I layered orange, green, gold glitter paper, and clover pattern paper to bring in more of the classic Irish colors.

Hope this card brings a little extra luck and joy to your day! Have a fabulous weekend!

Stay Fabulous!

 Happy Friday!

Tasha here sharing a new card inspired by the current Art Impressions "Drink Up!" Challenge. This theme is so fun and there are tons of awesome Art Impressions stamp sets that have drinks, but I LOVE the 5928-Stay Hydrated set.

I started by stamping the lady with her large tumbler and used the included dies to cut the image out. Since I love doggies, I used the paw print stamp to create the pattern on the tumbler. This would totally be a cup a would have!


After I colored the main image, I thought it would cute to include a little doggie on the card. I had a Pomeranian that looked just like the one used on this card and the size of this dog stamp worked great with the lady.


Lastly, I stamped "Stay Fabulous and carry a BIG TUMBLER!" with black ink and think this sentiment goes perfectly with this stylish lady! I also added layers of black and pink card stock, purple glitter paper, and a layer of Art Impressions pattern paper to complete the design.

Thank you for checking out today's project and I hope you will join in the "Drink Up!" Challenge!

Happy Valentine's Day!

 

Happy Valentine's Day!

Tasha here, sharing a new Valentine's Day card created with the fun 5181-Happy Mailbox Cubbies stamp set from Art Impressions. I absolutely adore the Art Impressions cubbies sets, and this one is perfect for spreading Valentine's cheer!

To make this card, I started by stamping the mailbox and all the tiny letters with black ink. I then cut everything out using the included dies, which made assembling the pieces a breeze. One of my favorite parts of this set is the variety of envelopes and packages you can mix and match to create a personalized design.

Next, I created the background by gluing die-cut grass onto a cloud-patterned paper. I used the 5062 - Rounded Rectangle A2 Double Stitched dies to cut the center panel; I love the stitched detail!


To finish the design, I layered metallic pink and teal cardstock, white cardstock, and Art Impressions heart-patterned paper. The combination of textures and colors adds dimension and a festive Valentine's Day vibe!

I hope you enjoyed today's card creation and feel inspired to craft your own Valentine's Day projects.

Be My Valentine Card!

 Happy Friday, Friends!

Tasha here, sharing a cheerful Valentine's Day card inspired by the current Art Impressions Highlights Challenge! For this project, I used the sweet  M3229-Valentine Mail stamp featuring the cutest little birdie.



This small stamp is packed with charming details, and I love how the sentiment perfectly frames the design. To bring it to life, I colored the image using Copic Markers and added tiny highlights with a white paint marker—I love adding highlights!

Once the center card design was complete, I framed it with layers of sparkling silver glitter paper, classic black cardstock, and a gorgeous alcohol ink-blended background I created myself. The vibrant colors match the Valentine's theme beautifully! If you're curious about making your own ink-blended backgrounds, be sure to check out my detailed tutorial here.


 To finish the card, I layered it on Art Impressions' heart-patterned paper and added extra black cardstock to tie everything together. 

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope today’s card inspires you to join the Highlights Challenge!

Love You Tons!

 Happy Friday Friends!

Tasha here sharing a new Valentine's Day card created with 5219-Lovable Animals Set and inspired by the current Art Impressions "Highlights" Challenge. This set has four adorable animals, but I just love this sweet elephant with his little bow tie!

The elephant was stamped with hybrid ink, colored with Copic markers, and cut with the included dies. The die also creates the opening on the arms, so you can add different accessories to customize your card or project. Since Valentine's Day is coming up, I used the heart die to cut a red heart and added white accents with my paint marker. I also used my paint marker to add little dots on the bow tie; so cute!

After the elephant was colored, I made a background with puffy clouds and a wooden floor. The greeting "I Love Sharing My Heart With You" goes perfectly with the theme of this card and coordinates with the paper heart; I love it! 

Lastly, I attached layers of black, red, and white card stock, silver glitter paper (I love sparkle), and a piece of heart pattern paper. I also attached white enamel dots to complete the design.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope your enjoyed today's card and will join in the "Highlights" Challenge!

Love You More!

Happy Friday! 

Tasha here sharing a new Valentine's Day card created with the super cute 5005 - Valentine Bears Set and 5741 - Valentines Paper Pack from Art Impressions Stamps!

I have been working on Valentine's Day cards lately and just had to create a card with this sweet little bear stamp. He is adorable with his paper heart banner and little blue top. I started by stamping the bear with black ink and used masking paper to cover him before creating the background. I created a wood floor and covered the background with red hearts to bring in more color and coordinate with the Valentine's Day theme.

After the center card was completed, I added layers of gold glitter paper, red, black, and white card stock, and a piece of pretty heart pattern paper. I also added a "Love You More" sentiment on a simple white banner to complete the design. I think this card will be perfect to send to a special someone this Valentine's Day!

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