Let Freedom Ring!

 Happy Friday Friends!

Tasha here sharing a patriotic card to kick off the big Fourth of July weekend. This card features the fun 6077-Loungin' Linda set and paper from the 6090-Patriotic Paper Pack from Art Impressions . I love all the fireworks!

To begin this card, I stamped Linda and used the included die to cut her out before coloring. I used Copic Markers to color her and added details with a white gel pen; I think she looks awesome in her Red, White & Blue outfit.

To add to the Americana theme, I added the flag from the 5494-Front Porch Patriotic Set and used a piece of firework pattern paper for the background. Linda looks like she is enjoying all the 4th of July festivities!

Lastly, I attached a "Let Freedom Ring" sentiment and layers of Red and Blue cardstock and silver glitter paper for sparkle.  I think this card is fun and perfect to send to someone this Summer. 

Happy 4th of July!

Happy Bee-day!

Happy Friday!

Tasha here sharing a fun card I made for the current Art Impressions “Spritz, Splatter AND PAINT!” Challenge. I had so much fun getting a little messy with this one!

For my project, I used the super cute 5925-Honey Bee Set; these little bees are just adorable and perfect for a cheerful birthday card. This set has tons of great stamps for building your own custom scene, and I love that it comes with the matching dies too!

Since the challenge theme was all about spritzing, splattering, and painting, I really leaned into that by splattering some gold Winsor & Newton ink over a golden ink-blended background. I also used the honeycomb stamp from the set to add some extra texture and detail behind the bees.

To pull everything together, I layered gold glitter paper with pink, black, and gold cardstock, and added a pop of yellow plaid pattern paper; I just love how cheerful and bright these colors look together! The pink and yellow combo might be one of my new favorites.

To finish the card, I added a simple “Happy Birthday” sentiment on a little banner. That was the perfect final touch!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you’ll join in on this fun challenge!

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 Friday Friends!

Tasha here sharing a card featuring the new  5928 - Stay Hydrated Set from Art Impressions, and was inspired by the current Ai Stars & Stripes Forever Challenge.  I love this girl's Summer outfit and her large tumbler! 

This set includes several patterns to use on the tumbler, but I created a red, white & blue pattern to go with the patriotic scene. I like that the tumbler is blank, so you can really customize it for your project.

I stamped the image with black ink and used Copic Markers for the coloring before cutting her out with the included dies. To give her a Summer look, I used red, white & blue colors for her clothes and drew golden stars on her top. I like the pop of gold!

To complete the card, I added a firework pattern paper background and attached a "Happy 4th of July!" greeting. I think this card is festive and perfect for Summer!

Thank you for checking out today's card and I hope you will join in the Stars & Stripes Forever Challenge!

Handmade Tag featuring Art Impressions Stamps!

 Happy Friday!

Tasha here sharing a new Tag inspired by the Art Impressions "Tag, You're It! Challenge. Tags are so much fun to make and are great to add to cards, scrapbooks, journals, or use on gift bags.

For my project, I used the Ai 5132 - Tag Stitched Dies to cut a large tag for the base. After, I stamped the door from the 5512 - Front Porch Door Set and colored the background with Copic Markers. The door fit perfectly on the largest tag die and there was still plenty of room to decorate.

For the greeting, I embossed "Have a Blessed Day" on the bottom of the tag with fine white powder. I also used multiple shades of green ink to create a grassy look, and made sure a darker green was used along the edge to allow the white letters to show. I just love embossed sentiments!

To decorate the door, I used the 5494 - Front Door Patriotic Set to give a Summer vibe. This set is great to use all Summer long  and this little sleeping doggie stamp is just so cute!

Lastly, I added Red, White & Blue embroidery thread to complete the design. I am so happy with how this turned out and think I may try making some Fall/Winter designs next.

Thank you for checking out today's project and I hope you will participate in the Art Impressions "Tag, You're It! Challenge.

To the Birthday Boy Card Featuring Art Impressions Stamps!

 Happy Friday!

Tasha here sharing a new card created with the 5044 - Born To Ride Set from Art Impressions. This stamp set is perfect for Father's Day, masculine birthday cards and projects. I just love this biker stamp! 

The image was stamped with black ink and colored with Copic Markers. I wanted it to look like the biker was cruising down the road on a warm Summer day, so I drew in a road and added some grass.

Also, since it's almost time for the 4th of July, I thought it would be fun to add an Americana theme to the design. To do this, I colored the bike red, used red, white & blue colors on his bandana, and I attached a festive star pattern paper. I just love these colors!

This stamp set includes several sentiments, but I used the "To the Birthday Boy" greeting from the 5735-Birthday Sentiment Set. I think this birthday set has become my go to for cards and love that it includes a masculine greeting. 

To complete the card, I attached several white enamel dots and layers of red cardstock and silver foil paper. When I think of motorcycles, I think of shiny chrome, so the silver foil totally goes with the biker theme. 

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

"Let's Ketchup" Card Featuring The Hedgehog Hollow August Kit!

Hi everyone! Tasha here sharing a card perfect for Summer created with the Hedgehog Hollow August "Grillin' & Chillin'" kit!

This month's kit included the "Let's Ketchup" greeting, so I decided to make a ketchup-themed card. The large ephemera pieces are so cool and work great on a card!

See the full card making tutorial on my YouTube Channel!

For the background, I stamped the small ketchup bottle multiple times and added red and yellow dots. I also added English Mustard Color Hive Ink around the edges to bring in more color. It reminds me of ketchup and mustard and these colors totally go with the burger image!

Lastly, I added a sheet of plaid paper from the kit and layers of yellow cardstock before attaching it to a white card base.

The completed card measures 4-3/4" x 6"

Thank you for checking out today's project and I hope you are enjoying the Hedgehog Hollow August "Grillin' & Chillin'" kit!
