Fabulous Gardening Gail!

 Happy Friday Friends!

Tasha here sharing a card featuring the fun 6076-Gardener Gail stamp set and the 6099-Garden Paper Pack from Art Impressions to create a fun little gardening scene.

I started by stamping Gail and used the included dies to cut the image out before coloring. I wanted to coordinate with the pattern paper, so I colored the flower with the same shades on the flowers in the background. I love the happy yellow petals!

To complete the card, I added layers of card stock and a frame cut from Art Impressions floral pattern paper. I also stamped "Pruned & Fabulous" and attached a white frame around the greeting. I think these colors are great and the sentiment is perfect to send to anyone, any time of the year!

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

No Bunny Like You!

 Happy Friday friends! 

Tasha here sharing a Spring card featuring the 6008-Bunny Hugs Set and the 6099-Garden Paper Pack from Art Impressions .

Spring is almost here and I am so excited for warmer weather and seeing all the beautiful flowers again. This sweet bunny looks so happy walking through her garden with a basket full of flowers. The pattern paper from the Garden Paper Pack creates the perfect Spring garden scene for the background.

For the greeting, I stamped “There’s no bunny like you” from the 5733-Easter Sentiments Set. I love that this sentiment works perfectly with the bunny image and can be used beyond Easter as well.

To finish the card, I added a butterfly with foam tape for a little dimension and layered orange, white, and blue cardstock to frame the scene. Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope this card brings a little Spring inspiration your way!

Have 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

I Love Fall!

 Hi friends!

Tasha here sharing a Fall card inspired by the current Art Impressions "Farm Fresh" Challenge. Fall is my favorite season, so for this challenge I created a Fall scene featuring the 5507-Harvest Together Set and 5592-Harvest Journal Die Set.

The scarecrow image was stamped with black ink and colored with Copic Markers. I used a white gel pen to add little details to the patches, and gave each patch a different design. I also used the included coordinating die to cut the image out. I love that several Art Impressions sets include the dies.

Before attaching the scarecrow to the card, I created a Fall scene. The sky was created with Distress Oxide Ink and a Sunburst stencil. I also used the 5592-Harvest Journal Die Set to make some cool pumpkins for the background, I love pumpkins!

To complete the card, I stamped "I Love Fall Most of All" on to a stitched banner. This sentiment goes perfectly with this scene and I love the cool farmhouse style font. I also added layers of brown and yellow card stock, and a piece of Art Impressions pattern paper to complete the design.

I hope you enjoyed today's card and will join in the "Farm Fresh" Challenge!

Have a great day!

I Love Fall!

Happy Friday!

Tasha here sharing a Halloween card created with the new 5934 - Spooky Crew Set from Art Impressions. I love making Halloween cards and this set has several super cute images to use on your project. I selected this adorable Cat stamp and created a not-so-spooky Halloween night scene.

The little kitty and witch hat were stamped with black ink and colored with Copic Markers. I used the included die set to cut the images out and attached the cat to the card with foam tape. This cat looks so happy; I love her smile!

This set also includes several sentiments, but I thought it would be fun to use the 5814 - Crooked Lamp & Sign Post Set and make a greeting. I stamped the sign post and used scissors to cut the image out. After coloring, I used a white gel pen to write "Happy Halloween" and "Boo!" on the signs. 

To create the background, I added layers of multi-colored leaves and little orange embellishments for the ground. For the sky, I added a bright white moon and two fun bats cut with the 5328 - Halloween Mini Dies Set. I love the pink color on the bats!

Lastly, I attached layers of black and deep pink card stock and a layer of Art Impressions Halloween pattern paper. This colorful pattern paper is great for Fall projects and I love the colors!

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

Frappe Birthday!

Happy Tuesday Friends!

Sharing a card created with the exclusive Art Impressions and Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® 2024 Collaboration Set! This set has a fun coffee & donut themed design and I just love Art Impression people stamps!

For my project I stamped the two friends and colored them with markers. I used polka-dot pattern paper for the leggings and love the look! The brick background was created with a brick stencil and two shades of Distress Oxide Ink and I used dark gray markers for the ground. I wanted it to look like they were outside of a coffee or donut shop chatting with their treats.

For the sentiment, I embossed "Frappe Birthday" on to black paper and attached a piece of silver glitter paper before adhering it to the card with foam tape. The white lettering pops against the black paper and looks great with the brick design behind it!

Lastly, I added layers of silver glitter paper, black card stock, and a pretty pink pattern paper to complete the design. This new stamp set was so much fun to create with and will be awesome for year-round projects. 

Be sure to check out Simon Says Stamp for more details on this exclusive set, but don't delay because once they sell out, they will no longer be available to purchase. 

Have a wonderful day!

Time to Celebrate!

 Happy Friday Friends!

Tasha here sharing a new card inspired by the current Art Impressions "Keep Calm & Celebrate On!" Challenge. For my project, I used the 5226 - Bus Cubbies Set and the 5319 - MB Birthday Set to create a fun mini card.

I love all the Ai Cubbies and MB stamp sets and thought it would be fun to use the MB set in a different way. I started by stamping three images from the MB Birthday Set and used a scissors to cut off the foldable sides. I used glue to adhere the table and shelf to the card and added some foam tape behind the gifts to give them some dimension. 

Next, I stamped the little animals from the Bus Cubbies Set and used the included dies to cut them out. The Bus Set also included balloons, so I cut several out and attached them around the room; so festive! I really like how these two sets work perfectly together!

Lastly, I stamped "Make a little wish" from the MB set with black ink on to a blue background. I also attached layers of purple and pink card stock and a pretty silver glitter paper layer to complete the design.

Thank you for checking out today's card and I hope you will join in the Art Impressions "Keep Calm & Celebrate On!" Challenge.

Happy Summer Card!

 Happy Friday!

Tasha here sharing a Summer themed card created with the super fun 5406 - Mr. Set from Art Impressions. This guy looks awesome with this chef hat and spatula, and is ready to kick summer off with some grill time!

I started by stamping the guy and his accessories with black ink and used the included die set to cut the images out. I love that the dies cut a perfect opening for the hat to be placed on his head and the spatula in his hand. For the coloring, I used markers and a festive red, white & blue color combination; I was inspired by the 4th of July!

For the background, I used a plaid pattern paper and cut grass from green pattern paper. I thought the plaid worked well on a masculine card and the colors coordinated with his outfit. He looks so happy!

Lastly, I attached a "Happy Summer" sentiment and added layers of red card stock and silver glitter paper. The sparkle is so pretty and the glitter goes with the current Art Impressions Challenge.

I hope you enjoyed today's card and are having a wonderful day!

Happy Summer Card!

Sending a little hello!

 Happy Friday Friends!

Tasha here sharing a Spring pop-up card featuring the new 5870 - Peeking Bunny Set from Art Impressions. This set has quickly become a favorite for me and I love how the bunny image can pop up in the little flower pot.

The bunny and tulips were all cut with the included coordinating dies and colored with markers. I also added some glitter to the tulips for extra sparkle and think they look so pretty!

To allow the bunny to pop up or be removed from the flower pot, I used foam tape on the tulips and a thin layers along the Botton of the pot. I also made sure not the add foam to the center of the pot so the bunny would fit. 

The greeting used "Sending a little hello" is from the 5797 - Little Things Sentiment Set and the banner is from the 5809 - Decorative Journal Page Set 2. I like the stitched border on the banner and the tiny greetings fits perfectly!

Lastly, I added die cut frames from the 5768 - Decorative Journal Page Set 1 and layers of pretty paper. I wanted to continue with the Springtime theme, so I used pastel shades and a layer of Art Impressions floral pattern paper. This paper is beautiful and brings in so much color; I love it!

I hope you enjoyed today's project and are having a great day!

Koala-Ty Valentine's Day Card!

Happy Friday! 

Tasha here, sharing my latest card featuring the super cute 5349 - Koalas Set from Art Impressions. Koalas are so cute, and what better way to express that love than through a special Valentine's Day card!

The process began with the adorable Koala stamp, and to add that perfect touch of Valentine's Day charm, I introduced the heart balloon from the 5491 - Front Porch Party Set. The pop of red from the heart balloon not only screams Valentine's Day but also adds a delightful contrast to the card.

To create the scene, I used masking paper to cover the koala image before working on the sky and ground. The unveiling of the stamped image when lifting the masking paper is so fun and it's a great way to color a background on a single-layer card.

To make the ballon pop out more, I cut a second ballon image with the included coordinating die set. Layering it onto the card with foam tape brought a dynamic 3D effect, and a simple string drawn with a black Copic liner pen connected the heart balloon to the koala.

No card is complete without layers, and for this creation, I opted for glitter paper, card stock, and heart-themed pattern paper to complete the design.

Whether it's for an anniversary, Valentine's Day, Sweetest Day, or just to brighten someone's day any time of the year, this style of card is sure to make someone happy and smile!

Wishing you all a wonderful and craft-filled weekend!

Kindred Stamps Novemeber Release - Midnight Couple Stamp Set Sneak Peek!

Hi everyone and welcome back to my blog! 

Today, I'm thrilled to give you an exclusive sneak peek into the captivating "Midnight Couple" Set from Kindred Stamps. As a lover of storybook princess themes, this release has truly stolen my heart, and the majestic castle stamp is nothing short of fabulous!

Card 1: The Royal Center-Step Fold

The first card features the enchanting royal couple against a backdrop of the new "Stroke of Midnight" paper pack. The center-step card fold adds a touch of regality, and I've adorned the panels with delicate paper hearts that perfectly complement the fairy tale theme. The color combination is simply irresistible!

Card 2: Triple-Cube Magic with Castle Elegance

For the second card, I experimented with a triple-cube card fold to showcase the majestic castle stamp. Mixing different pattern papers, I paired the royal couple with the castle, creating a harmonious blend. Utilizing the shoe print for the inside areas and framing the outside squares with blue glitter paper, this design offers space for greetings, the couple, and the castle. Plus, it folds flat for easy gifting—truly a win-win!

Card 3: Shaking Up Fairytales

The last card introduces a whimsical fairytale shaker design. Incorporating the new Carriage and Crown shaker pack for the shaker bits, I attached a piece of delightful blue and white pattern paper for the outside card panel. The stamped couple adds an extra layer of cuteness, and the sentiment is just perfect for that special someone!
