A Wildly Fun Birthday Card!

 Happy Friday friends!

Tasha here sharing a new birthday card featuring the cute lion from the Art Impressions 5400-Birthday Critters Set.

This cheerful little guy felt perfect for a fun and colorful birthday design. I started with an orange background created using alcohol ink blending, then cut it with the 5061-Square Double Stitched Dies. I really love the stitched pattern because it adds texture without overpowering the design. To make the card feel extra festive, I added two stamped gift box images along with a playful star pattern paper that brings in even more birthday energy.

For the layers, I used the 6047-Scalloped Square Dies to cut white and olive green paper. The scalloped design on the large square adds so much detail and helps frame the center image beautifully. To finish things off, I attached a Happy Birthday stamped mini banner and added one final paper layer in a golden color to coordinate with the orange background and pull everything together. This card was so much fun to create and I hope it brings a smile to someone on their special day. 

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you are having a great day!

A Wildly Fun Birthday Card!

Let it Snow!

 Happy Friday friends! 

Tasha here sharing a card featuring the 6088-Woodland Bench Scene stamp from Art Impressions. It has been snowing a lot where I live and the Winter weather inspired me to create a snowy little scene. These furry friends look happy enjoying the falling snow.

The card was stamped with black hybrid ink and colored with Copic Markers. The stamped image already had some snow, but I added more with a white gel pen. I also used the same gel pen to create random snowflakes making sure some of the flakes went on top both of the critters. 

Lastly, I used a black liner pen to create a pattern on each scarf; I love the pop of color! I also attached several paper layers to complete the design. 

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

Welcome Little One!

Happy Friday friends! 

Today I’m excited to share this sweet baby card inspired by the current Art Impressions Pocket Full of Sunshine challenge. I wanted the design to feel cheerful and welcoming, with lots of bright color and happy details.

The adorable little bear comes from the 6017-Baby Panda Set, and it fits perfectly in the playful scene. The floral frame was created using stamps from the 5981-My Joy Set, which adds such a fun and sunny touch around frame. 

For the background, I used patterned paper from the 5835-Mini Journal Paper Pack, and added layers of White, Pink, and Yellow paper to coordinate with the colors used on the flowers. I love the pink & yellow color combination!

This card was a joy to create and is perfect for welcoming a new little one. Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope this brings a little sunshine to your day!

Tasha here sharing a birthday card inspired by the current Art Impressions Button Up Challenge.

For this card I used two cute animal stamps from the 5400 Baby Critters Set. I love coloring little animal characters and this card totally looks like they are ready for a birthday celebration. To go with the button challenge theme, I added a flower with a button in the middle. The orange color and shape reminded me of the sun and I love that pop of color. 

Lastly, I added layers of pink and white card stock along with a polka dot pattern paper to complete the design.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card and are having a great day.

Purr-fect Valentine's Day Card!

 Happy Friday and Happy New Year friends! 

Tasha here sharing my first project of 2026 featuring the sweet kitty from the 5219 Lovable Animals Set from Art Impressions .

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and this card is perfect to send to someone special. I stamped the cat with black ink and used the included die to cut the image out before coloring. The die also creates an opening to add little accessories, so I added a sparkly heart to go with the theme.

For the center of the card, I created a cheerful background using heart pattern paper for the sky. I love hearts! For extra color and sparkle, I added layers of pink cardstock and finished it off with a scalloped silver glitter frame. To complete the card, I used a white gel pen to add tiny stitch marks and adhered a Happy Valentine’s Day greeting.

This project was such a fun way to kick off the new year with something cute and love filled. I hope you enjoyed this card and are having a wonderful day!

Purr-fect Valentine's Day Card!

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!

You’re koala-fied to be my Valentine!

 Happy Friday Friends!

Tasha here sharing a Valentine's Day card inspired by the Art Impressions Monochromatic Challenge. Since Valentine's Day is just around the corner, it's a perfect time to get started on Valentine's Day cards. I used the Koalas Set for the main image and different shades of pink to go with the challenge theme; I love all the pink colors!

I started by stamping the little koala on to white card stock and also stamped him on a piece of masking paper. Before ink blending, I used a heart die to cut the center heart out and the pink frame. After the heart was cut, I masked the koala and used two shades of Distress Oxide Ink to color in the background. I like how the lighter color around the image looks like a spotlight.

After the heart was completed, I attached layers of pink cardstock and a piece of Art Impressions heart pattern paper. I also stamped the greeting "Happy Valentine's Day"with pink ink to coordinate with all the colors.

Lastly, I added little white hearts to the background of the center heart to complete the design.

I hope you enjoyed today's project and are inspired to create a monochromatic Valentine's Day card!

Have a wonderful day!

 Happy Friday!

Tasha here sharing my first Art Impressions project of 2025! Today's card was inspired by the current Art Impressions "Craft Time is Golden" Challenge and features the 5953-Woodland Critters Set.

Now that Winter is in full swing and we are getting more snow here in Wisconsin, I thought it would be fun to create a little winter wonderland scene. I love owls and this stamp is perfect for Fall and Winter projects, his little scarf is just too cute!

I colored the owl with Copic Markers and used the included dies to cut the image out. To go with the "Golden" theme, I create a sparky gold glitter frame which looks awesome with the blue snowflake background. Art Impressions has great pattern paper!

Lastly, I added layers of blue, white, and brown card stock, pine cone pattern paper, and a scalloped frame using the same snowflake paper behind the owl. I also attached a "Thinking of You" sentiment to complete the design.

I hope you enjoyed today's project are will participate in the "Craft Time is Golden" Challenge!

Have a Magical Birthday Card!

 Hi Ai Fans! 

Tasha here, happy to share with you my latest card creation inspired by the current Art Impressions Challenge, "You're a Gem." When I heard those words, my mind immediately wandered to all things sparkling and magical, leading me straight to the 5345 - Fairy Cubbies and 5790-Fairy Houses Sets.

I began by stamping a delightful fairy house at the heart of the card, surrounded by three hot air balloons floating in the sky. But before diving into the background, I covered the images with masking paper to ensure they wouldn't get messed up when ink blending. Masking paper is awesome and a must have for card making.

To create the sky, I used a puffy cloud stencil and blue Distress Oxide Ink. I also did a similar technique to create the ground by using a grass stencil and green ink. I just moved the grass stencil around and added more ink to give a layered look.

Since the theme is "You're a Gem", I embellished with delicate enamel flowers and a shimmering row of miniature gems. I also attached two enamel hearts to the house and large balloon.

Lastly, I added layers of silver glitter paper, pink and black card stock, and a piece of Ai Valentine's Day themed pattern paper. All the pink & red colors look fabulous and I love how this design turned out!

Thanks for checking out my project and I hope you have 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!

Relax and Enjoy Your Day!

Happy Friday!

Tasha here, excited to share my first card of 2024 with you all! Art Impressions offers a tons of fantastic birthday stamp sets, and for today's creation, I chose a charming image of a guy lounging in his recliner.

To begin, I stamped the main image from the 5421 - Sit Back Laugh Lines Set on to white card stock and masking paper. This masking paper allowed me to cover our laid-back guy before working on the cool background. There's something incredibly satisfying about peeling away the masking paper to unveil a pristine image underneath, isn't there?

Lastly, for the greeting, I opted for a layered "Happy Birthday" sentiment. Cutting the words from coordinating paper colors added a delightful pop to the card. The blue and white against the stenciled brick wall background created a visually striking effect that I absolutely love.

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

Valentine's Day Happy Mail Card Featuring Dare 2B Artzy Stamps!

Happy Tuesday Friends!

Tasha here sharing a sweet little Valentine's Day card created with the Dare 2B Artzy Baby Elephant Stamp Set. This cute elephant is so adorable and is perfect to use on a Valentine's Day card or project!

The little elephant was stamped with Totally Black Ink and colored with Copic Markers. I used pink and gray shades and added blue ink for the eyes. To cut the image out, I used the coordinating die set and attached him on the card with foam tape. I love the pink cheeks!

To create the background, I used the D2BA Slimline Land & Clouds Border Dies. I colored paper with Distress Oxide Ink and used the grass die for the ground. For the sky, I made a stencil with the cloud die and added pink fluffy clouds. The pink and green together is so pretty!

To add to the Valentine's Day theme, I used several hearts from the Slim Mini Heart Background Die Set. I wanted it to look like the elephant was sending the hearts to the sky. I also stamped the greeting "I Love You" on to the large heart and attached it with foam tape. I like the different sizes and these hearts work great with the elephant stamp!

Lastly, I added layers of pink card stock, pink glitter paper, and my favorite plaid D2BA pattern paper. I also used the D2BA Rectangle Framelits Die Set to add a pierced frame on the two center cards. I think this extra detail gives a nice finished look to the design.

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