Royal Birthday Card!

 Happy Friday friends! 

Tasha here sharing a birthday card featuring the 5916 -Woodland Castle Set from Art Impressions. I love medieval and fairytale-themed stamps, and this card is perfect for celebrating a little princess or queen on her birthday.

The birthday greeting is from the 5735 -Birthday Sentiment Set, and it was the perfect fit for this design. I kept the center panel simple so the castle could take center stage. A little grass and soft ink blending were all it needed to create a sweet little scene.

To finish the card, I layered silver glitter paper with pink and purple cardstock and added a piece of beautiful Art Impressions floral patterned paper. The purple, white, and pink color combination complements the castle perfectly and adds a fun, whimsical feel.

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

Royal Birthday Card!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Friday Friends!

Tasha here sharing a Father's Day card featuring the 5406 -Mr. Set from Art Impressions. This sharp-dressed gentleman is ready for summer and has his hammer in hand to tackle any project!

I stamped the man, hammer, and tool belt, then used the coordinating dies to cut them out. The hand die includes an opening to hold the hammer, and I customized the tool belt by removing the tape measure for a unique look.

For the background, I added an embossed floor with silver metallic wax on black cardstock and a brick pattern to complement the handyman theme. To finish the card, I layered tan, cream, and brown cardstock with a piece of Art Impressions plaid paper. I love how these colors and patterns come together for a fun masculine design.

To the Birthday Girl Card

Happy Friday friends!

Tasha here, and today I’m sharing a birthday card inspired by the current Art Impressions  Enjoy the Ride Challenge. Art Impressions has so many fun vehicle-themed stamps, but I’ve always been drawn to this vintage truck design. One of my favorite details is the open window, which makes the perfect spot to add a little character. I chose a gnome for this card because I can never resist a cute gnome!

To give the truck a birthday theme, I stamped a sweet little dog and a bunch of balloons in the truck bed. The balloon images fit perfectly and add a fun, festive touch to the scene.

For the sentiment, I used “To the Birthday Girl” from the 5735-Birthday Sentiment Set. I layered it onto gold glitter paper for a bit of sparkle, which really helps the greeting stand out.

To finish the card, I added layers of pink, cream, and yellow cardstock along with a floral patterned paper. I also used Copic markers to create a simple country road background that ties everything together and completes the design.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope this card inspires you to join the challenge!

Stay Fabulous!

 Happy Friday!

Tasha here sharing a Summer card featuring the fun 5928-Stay Hydrated Set from Art Impressions. Every time I use this stamp set this lady reminds me of myself and the large tumblers that I tote around. I do not have a leopard print one, but would totally get this colorful design!

For the card, I stamped the lady and used the included die to cut the image out. After, I used Copic Markers for the coloring and added details with a black liner pen and white gel pen. Coloring clothing is one of my favorite things to do and this outfit looks perfect for enjoying a warm day outside. I also love her cool, sunglasses!

Lastly, I created a simple background and cut the center card and frame layer with wavy rectangle dies. I thought this creative border would go with the Summer vibe. I also added layers of cream and orange card stock and a piece of Art Impressions pattern paper to bring in more color and interest. This print is so fun and the color worked great with the shades used on the center card.

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

 Happy Friday!

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!

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!

You're a Treasure Card!

 Happy Friday!

Tasha here sharing a fun Summer card created with the new 5903-Treasured Armful Set from Art Impressions. I have always loved mermaids and this mermaid stamp is just so cute and a lot of fun to color. 

To begin this beach-themed card, I stamped the mermaid and conch shell with black ink and cut both pieces out using the included die set. The die also cuts an opening that allows you to attach the shell to make it look as if she is holding it; I think this looks so cool!

After coloring, I created a little beach scene for the background. I used a wave pattern paper for the water and stenciled the puffy clouds to make a pretty blue sky. This looks like a perfect beach day!

For the sentiment, I embossed the included "You're a Treasure" greeting on to black card stock. I love white lettering and the black & white color combination looks great with all the bright colors.

Lastly, I attached blue and black card stock and a wood pattern paper to coordinate with the beach theme. 

I hope you enjoyed this card and are inspired to create with the fun 5903-Treasured Armful Set. 

Have a wonderful day!

Keepin' it Reel!

Hi Friends!

Tasha here sharing a card featuring the fun new 5926 - Fishing Boat Set from Art Impressions. This fish themed set is perfect as we head into Summer and makes a great Father's Day card! The little fisherman looks so happy driving his boat and I love all the accessories!

For this card, I created a stenciled background using Distress Oxide Inks and stamped "Let's Go Fishing!" with black ink on to the water. I think the layered waves look awesome with the different shades of blue ink and the green trees reminds me of boating on a lake in Wisconsin; I love lakes!

To create the decorated fishing boat, I stamped the boat, fisherman, and his accessories with black ink and cut the images out using the included dies. I like that the dies cut openings for the windows to allow the fisherman to look as if he is driving the boat and waving as he cruises down the water. You can also totally customize the project since there are several different accessories you can mix and match, so each card can have a different look.

Lastly, I added layers of brown card stock and brown plaid paper to complete the card. I hope you enjoyed today's project and are having a wonderful day!

I like you Beary Much Card!

 Happy Friday!

Tasha here sharing a card inspired by the Art Impressions Panda-Monium Challenge and features the new KH5821-Panda Set. I think these little pandas are adorable and love the bamboo stamps!

To make the little scene, I stamped the two pandas and the bamboo with black ink. Next, I covered all the images with masking paper and used masking tape to section off the top of the paper and where I wanted the grass. Once everything was covered, I used a stencil to create a colorful sky and think it looks great behind the bamboo!

After the sky was blended, I removed all the masking paper and colored the images. I thought having different shades of green would allow the bamboo to stand out against the green grass and I like the light green color.

For the greeting, I stamped "I like you beary much" with the same black ink. The black & white color combo coordinates with the panda theme and I like the why the sentiment looks under the colorful design.

Lastly, I added layers of black and green cardstock before attaching the cared to a white card base. I hope you enjoyed today's project and will join in the challenge!
