Time for Candy!

 Happy Friday  friends!

Tasha here sharing a Halloween card created with the fun 5778 - FB Frog Costume Set from Art Impressions!

Now that we are in the month of October, I am having so much fun playing with my Fall and Halloween stamp sets! This little trick-or-treater is just too cute in his froggy costume with his pumpkin bucket, totally ready to collect some candy!

I started by stamping the image with black ink and coloring it with my Copic markers. I also created a fun background with purple ink blended clouds. I love how the different shades of purple turned out and thought they added a fun Halloween feel to the card.

To finish the design, I added some black spiderweb patterned paper and layered everything with green and pink cardstock. I just love these colors together! Lastly, I attached an embossed "Trick or Treat" greeting to complete my card.

I hope this little froggy brings a smile to your face and inspires you to pull out your Halloween stamps!

Sending Kindness!

 Happy Friday friends!

Tasha here sharing a new card inspired by the current Art Impressions "Spread Kindness" Challenge. 

For my project I used the fun 5507-Harvest Together Set and pretty pattern paper from the 6237-Pastel Meadow Cover Paper Pack. 

I wanted to create a Fall-themed card, but decided to use soft pastel colors that coordinated with the floral pattern paper. I love the pink and tan color combination! I also added clouds to the background in similar orange and pink pastel shades to keep the background bright but still have a Fall feel.


Lastly, I attached layers of pink, tan, and white card stock and a white scalloped frame to the center card. I also attached a simple banner for the greeting and added little stitch marks with a black pen for some extra detail. I hope you enjoyed today's card and will join in the Challenge!

Hope you have a great weekend!

Ole Buck Card!

 Happy Friday  friends! 

Tasha here sharing a fun birthday card created with the 5043 – Ole Buck Set from Art Impressions.

I had so much fun coloring this group of hunters with Copic Markers. I used lots of greens and browns for the camouflage and added pops of bright orange to really make the images stand out.

For the background, I created some soft orange clouds with Distress Oxide ink and a cloud stencil. I also added a simple grassy ground using quick Copic Marker flicks to keep the focus on the stamped images.

I layered the card with orange, green, brown, and plaid papers to coordinate with the coloring. I also added a couple layers behind the sentiment to give it a little extra dimension.

The “Sending a Few Bucks for Your Birthday” sentiment makes me smile and is perfect with these guys!

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Vampire Card

Hi friends!

Tasha here sharing a Halloween card inspired by the current Art Impressions Challenge! For my card, I used the little vampire from the 5506-Peek-a-Boo Stamp Set. I love this happy little vampire and his cute batty friend!

I started my card with a purple alcohol ink background. To go along with the current Ai Challenge, I added several silver glitter spiderwebs around the center of the card. I love all the different styles of webs and how the glitter adds a little sparkle!

To complete the card, I added layers of purple and white cardstock along with purple glitter paper to coordinate with the colors used on the vampire. I also added a piece of spiderweb pattern paper to tie everything together.

I love how this Halloween card turned out, and I hope you are inspired to join in the current challenge and create something fun!

Have a wonderful day!

Pink Magic!

 Happy Friday  friends!

Tasha here sharing a Halloween card created with the Art Impressions 5506-Peek-a-Boo Set. Now that we are in the month of September, I am in full Fall mode and have been having so much fun bringing out my Halloween sets

I love the color pink, so I decided to add tons of pink shades to this card. I love how the pink pops against the black and white spiderweb pattern paper. The sky was created with Distress Oxide Ink, and I used Copic Markers for the rest of the coloring. I added some fun white gel pen accents and finished the card with the spiderweb pattern paper.

I had so much fun making this spooky and bright Halloween card!

Happy Fall Y'all!

 Happy Friday  friends!  

Tasha here sharing a Fall themed card featuring the fun 5507-Harvest Together Set and the new 6255-FG Sunflower Border Set from Art Impressions. I love sunflowers, and when I saw the new sunflower border stamp, I immediately thought it would work perfectly with the lady scarecrow from the Harvest Together Set. I just love all the flowers!

To created this card, I started by stamping the front sunflowers. After, I used masking paper to mask the flowers and bottom of the card before stamping the scarecrow and birdhouse. I used Copic Markers for the coloring and tried to use Fall colors; the blues, yellows, and pop of purple look awesome together!

After the images were colored, I added clouds and a "Happy Fall Y'all" greeting. I also attached layers of metallic red, brown, white, and orange cardstock to coordinate with the colors used on the flowers. Lastly, I added a piece of plaid pattern paper in a light tan color and cut a scalloped frame to complete the design.

I hope you liked today's poject and are inspired to create a Fall themed project!

Have a wonderful day!

Time to Dance!

 Happy Friday friends. 

Tasha here sharing a birthday card featuring the Art Impressions 6176-Exclusive Ballet Bear stamp. I have been loving all the little bear stamps and this ballet bear is perfect for a birthday card. To make my project more unique, I stamped the bear three times and created a stage; I love their colorful tutus!

For the coloring I used Copic Markers and drew the background with a black liner pen. I wanted a spotlight on each dancer, so I used a variety of yellow markers to look like lights were shining down on the them; I used the same shades on the tiny stars so everything blends together nicely.

Lastly, I attached gold glitter paper for sparkle, layers of purple and pink card stock, and a piece of Art Impression pattern paper. I thought the star print coordinated with the stars around the bears. I also stamped "To the Birthday Girl" with purple ink on a banner to complete the card.

I hope you enjoyed this card and are having a wonderful day!

Home Sweet Home

 Happy Friday friends!

Tasha here sharing a card created with the new 6116-Thinking of Home set from Art Impressions. I love cards that feature animals and this little sleeping kitty is just so cute; she looks like she is enjoying a cat nap on a warm Summer day. I also love the little blue bird!

To create the box card base, I used the 6121-Storybook Template die and selected a pretty piece of Art Impressions pattern paper from the 5955-Encouragement Paper Pack. The light colors in the pattern paper really frames the center design nicely.
Lastly, I colored all the images with Copic Markers before attaching them to the inside of the card base. The stamp set also includes all the dies and similar to the Art Impressions Matchbook sets, the images all have a scored tabs to allow each piece to fit perfectly together. I love building little scenes and this one is perfect to send to someone special any time of the year!

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

Boo to You!

 Happy Friday friends! 

Tasha here sharing a Halloween card featuring the sweet kitty cat ghost from the 6112-Pumpkin Parade Set from Art Impressions . I love all the cute trick or treaters in this set, but the cat ghost is my favorite!

The cat was colored with Copic Markers and used pattern paper from the sky and ground; I love mixing the prints! I also added a little spider and used a white gel pen to make it look like the spider is hanging from a web. 


To complete the card, I added purple plaid pattern paper and layers of orange, black, and white card stock to coordinate with the Halloween theme. I think this card is so fun and perfect to send to someone special this Fall season!

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you are having a wonderful day!

Happy Birthday Gnomie!

 Happy Friday friends! 

Tasha here sharing a cheerful birthday card inspired by the current Art Impressions Floral Frenzy Challenge. I couldn't resist pairing colorful spring tulips with one of the adorable garden gnomes for a fun birthday design.

I started by stamping the sweet gnome from the 5000-Gotta Garden Stamp Set (Retired) and surrounded him with beautiful tulips from the 6220-Sing to the Lord Set. I colored everything with Copic markers, keeping the flowers bright with shades of purple and orange for a happy spring feel. A soft blue sky and grassy background help bring the scene to life.

To frame the image, I layered it with gold glitter cardstock and added coordinating yellow and orange mats. The pretty floral pattern paper from the 6205-Floral Shop Paper Pack ties all of the colors together while keeping the focus on the stamped scene. I finished the card with a simple Happy Birthday greeting to make it perfect for celebrating someone special.

If you're looking for inspiration, be sure to join the Art Impressions Floral Frenzy Challenge. It's a fun way to pull out your favorite floral stamps and create something beautiful. 

Have a wonderful Day!

Birds of a Feather!

 Happy Friday friends! 

Tasha here sharing a card inspired by the current Art Impressions Floral Frenzy Challenge. Art Impressions has so many beautiful floral sets, and I had fun combining two new sets to create this colorful design.

I started with one of my favorite dies, the 6158-Story Tile Template Die, and selected flowers that would fit perfectly into each tile. The floral images I used are from the 6218-BJ Long Stem Set and the 6220-Sing to the Lord Set. Both sets include so many pretty flower stamps, and they work beautifully together!

Instead of filling every tile with flowers, I added two little birds from the 6216-Mercy Set. These sweet birds were the perfect addition and helped bring the design together. To finish the card, I stamped a bird-themed greeting from the 5980-Song Birds and Feeders Set to coordinate with the stamped images.

I love how the mix of flowers and little birds created a cheerful card full of color and springtime inspiration. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you are inspired to create something beautiful for the Floral Frenzy Challenge!

Boo To You!

Happy Friday friends!

Tasha here sharing a Halloween card inspired by the current Summerween Challenge! For my project I used the cute trick-or-treating bunny from the 6112-Pumpkin Parade Set from Art Impressions to create a simple Halloween night scene.



The bunny was stamped with black ink and colored with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating die to cut her out and layered her on to the card with foam tape to give some dimension. Instead of coloring the background, I used a star stencil to add tons of glittery stars on to a dark blue sky. The stars a super sparkly in person and have a green almost glow-like look; I love all the stars!



To complete the card, I added Gold glitter paper for more sparkle, orange, purple and white card stock, and attached a ghost pattern paper layer to coordinate with the Halloween theme. I also added a fun "Boo To You" sentiment. I thought the greeting went perfectly with the ghost pattern paper.

I hope you enjoyed today's project and will join in the Summerween challenge!
