Happy 4th of July!

 Happy Friday friends!

Tasha here sharing a fun and festive 4th of July card featuring the 5512-Front Porch Door Set and the coordinating 5494-Front Porch Patriotic Set from Art Impressions. These sets are perfect for creating a warm, welcoming holiday scene, and I love how everything comes together so easily!

To get started, I stamped all the images in black ink and used the coordinating dies (included with both sets!) to cut everything out. After that, I colored the images with Copic Markers, using traditional red, white, and blue tones to keep with the patriotic theme.

Once my images were ready, I assembled the center panel with the decorated front porch scene; it really brings the whole card to life! I layered this on top of silver glitter paper for a little sparkle, blue cardstock, and a gorgeous American flag patterned paper from the new 6090-Patriotic Paper Pack. This paper is absolutely perfect for Independence Day cards!

To finish the card, I added some little banners and bows along the top edge for extra detail and dimension. They really help complete the festive look!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you’re feeling inspired to create your own patriotic card using these fun Front Porch sets.

Have a safe and happy 4th of July weekend!

Happy 4th of July!

Season's Greetings!

 Happy Friday Friends!

Tasha here sharing a new card inspired by the current Art Impressions LEON Day! Challenge. Can you believe we’re already halfway to Christmas? LEON (which is “NOEL” spelled backward) is the perfect time to start thinking about winter cards, and I had so much fun creating this snowy design!

For my project, I used the adorable 5954-Woodland Bears Set. I just love this little bear and the sweet bird; it’s such a cozy winter scene! I stamped the main image with black ink and used the coordinating die to cut it out before coloring the image with Copic Markers.

To build the background, I layered white cardstock to look like a snowy hillside and added several pine trees behind the bear to create a forest effect. For the sky, I used a snow print pattern paper with falling snowflakes; it really adds a winter feel.

To complete the card, I added layers of silver glitter paper for some sparkle, along with green, white, and blue cardstock. I also included a piece of Art Impressions’ winter-themed patterned paper to tie everything together.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card and feel inspired to join the LEON Day! Challenge; it's a great excuse to start your holiday crafting early!

Have a wonderful weekend!

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!
