Bee Happy!

 Happy Friday Friends!

Tasha here sharing a fun new card featuring the Freebie-Honey Bear and 6047-Scalloped Square Dies from Art Impressions . I love bee-themed cards and this sweet stamp is perfect for Spring! 

To create this card, I stamped the little bear on to a stitched square before ink blending the edges to bring in more color. I was inspired by the colors of the bee, so I added layers of black card stock, yellow plaid pattern paper, and used white for the largest scalloped frame. I love how the bright white shows the pretty edge and separates the darker colors.

For the greeting, I stamped "Bee Happy!" from the 5925-Honey Bee Set. This set has several greetings that can be used for year-round cards and projects. I also used two scalloped round dies to frame the greeting and coordinate with the scalloped squares.

Lastly, I attached layers of dark yellow and black card stock and another piece of pattern paper and attached three gold dots to complete the design.

Hello Spring!

Happy Friday friends!

Tasha here sharing a Spring card featuring the super cute 6008 Bunny Hugs Set and 6046 Scalloped Oval Dies. With Spring only a few days away, I have been pulling out my Spring and Easter sets and I cannot stop coloring the bunny stamps. I love all of them, but this sweet bunny with the tulips felt just right for this time of year.

For this card, I stamped the image in black ink and colored it with Copic Markers. I chose a pretty floral pattern paper for the background and matched the tulip colors to the soft pastel shades in the paper. I really love how those colors came together.

For the center, I used cloud and grass stencils to create a simple outdoor scene. I added a few glitter enamel sparkles to the clouds for a little texture and shine. I always like adding a bit of sparkle.

To finish the card, I used a scalloped oval die cut from metallic pink cardstock and layered it with dark purple, white, and lavender cardstock to coordinate with the flowers.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card and that it inspires you to start working on your Spring projects!

Have a wonderful day!

Hello Spring!

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!

Vacation Vibes!

 Happy Friday  friends! 

Tasha here sharing a card inspired by the current Art Impressions Challenge. I used the fun 6075 -Cruisin' Carol Stamp Set from Art Impressions to create a bright tropical scene that feels like a relaxing beach getaway.

For the background, I cut a scalloped rectangle from the 6098 -Cruise Paper Pack. This paper is awesome and has some of the cutest patterns for cards and projects. I love all the designs included in this cruise-themed paper pack!

To continue the tropical theme, I stamped the sentiment “Vacation Vibes” onto a simple white banner and attached blue and white striped patterned paper. This pattern always makes me think of summer days and beach vacations.

To finish the card, I added layers of golden yellow, white, and bright blue cardstock to coordinate with the colors throughout the scene. 

Have a wonderful day!

Happy Spring Card

 Happy Friday!

Tasha here sharing a new card featuring the super cute "Happy Spring" Stamp Set from Art Impressions. Spring is a wonderful time of year and Spring cards are so much fun to make. For my project I used the bunny with a carrot car and love everything about this stamp!

I started the card by stamping the sweet bunny and used the included dies to cut him out. Once cut, I used Copic Markers to color him; I love these colors! For the background I layered a piece of polka dot pattern paper from the ground and cut two clouds to make a Spring scene.

This set includes several sentiments, but I thought "Happy Spring" went perfectly with this image. He looks like he is loving the warm Spring weather driving his carrot car with his pretty tulips!

Lastly, I added layers of teal and tan card stock and a piece of Art Impressions plaid paper. I also attached several white enamel dots to complete the design.

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

Sharing a new Easter card inspired by the current Art Impressions "I like to Move it, Move it!" Challenge. Easter will be here before we know it and Art Impressions has so many cute stamp sets for Easter cards and projects. I used the fun 5504-Happy Spring Set to create a shaker card and love this little bunny and chick!

To begin, I stamped the animals with black ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I also used the included die set to cut the images out making it super easy to layer on my project. This little chick with the Easter egg is adorable and the bunny looks so cheerful!

For the background, I used a clear shaker pocket and filled it with Spring themed shaker bits on top of an ombre blue paper. I also attached a green grass die cut to the ground and attached several enamel flowers to continue with the Spring theme.

For the greeting, I stamped "Happy Easter" with black ink on to bright white paper. For extra color, I attached a layer of teal paper; I love the pop of color behind the greeting!

Lastly, I attached layers of gold, white, and deep pink card stock and purple glitter paper for sparkle. This card is bright, happy, and perfect to send to someone special this Spring/Easter! 

Thank you for checking out my card and I hope you will join in the "I like to Move it, Move it!" Challenge!

 Happy Friday everyone! 

Tasha here sharing a new card created with the super cute 6016-MB Pet Shop Set from Art Impressions. Art Impressions recently released four (4) awesome new MB sets, but this one has to be my favorite! I love animals and the variety of cute animals in this little shop scene is fantastic! 

To create the shop, I used the 5317-MB Template Dies and two different pieces of pattern paper. The plaid walls with the dark wood floor seemed like the perfect decor for a happy little pet shop. I also added two little windows to bring in more detail; the Template Die Set includes two styles of windows, so you can pick the perfect one to customize your little scene.

After all the sweet animals were colored, it was time to assemble. The MB Pet Shop's included dies cut and score the pieces to make it super easy to attach to the base. Every time I complete one of these MB cards I mention how amazed I am that there is so much detail in this tiny design, it really is awesome!

Lastly, I cut the greeting out and attached it to the front of the card. I also created a small envelope in a coordinating patter paper to complete the card set. 

I hope you enjoyed today's project and will take a peek at the new MB sets. If you haven't tried making one of these small cards, give it a try, I'm sure you will love the final result!

Have a great day!

 Happy Friday! 

Tasha here sharing a matchbook card created with the new 6013 - MB Bakery set from Art Impressions. I love baking, so this set has quickly become a new favorite!

I enjoy making these little cards and I'm always amazed by the amount of detail in this small package. I had a lot of fun coloring the individual cupcakes, breads, and the little pie; so cute! I also liked mixing pattern paper to create the walls and floor, this totally looks like a bake shop!

The best part of these MB sets is that you can mix and match pieces from other MB sets, or add little stamps from non-MB sets to really customize the design. The possibilities are endless!

Thank you for checking out today's project and I hope you are inspired to create a matchbook card. Be sure to check out the Art Impressions shop to see all the new designs, I know you are going to LOVE them!!!

Top O'the Morning to Ya!

Happy Friday!

I’m excited to share a festive St. Patrick’s Day card featuring the adorable 5006-Sham-rock Set from Art Impressions. This little leprechaun always brings a smile!

I started by stamping and masking the leprechaun so I could position the pot o' gold perfectly. Masking paper also helped me add some four-leaf clovers behind the pot, creating a fun custom scene.

For the ground, I stamped more clovers and used green markers to color the grass. A soft blue sky and a cheerful rainbow completed the background.

The set’s sentiment selection is fantastic—“Let the shenanigans begin!” in bold black ink felt just right for this playful design.

To finish, I layered orange, green, gold glitter paper, and clover pattern paper to bring in more of the classic Irish colors.

Hope this card brings a little extra luck and joy to your day! Have a fabulous weekend!

Happy Easter to All My Peeps!

 Happy Friday Friends!

Tasha here sharing an Easter card inspired by the current Art Impressions Pop It Up! Challenge. I have been having so much fun creating Easter cards featuring different bunny stamps from Art Impressions, but this little pop-up bunny may be my favorite! He is from the new 5870 - Peeking Bunny Set and looks so happy with the sweet chicks!

I started the card by stamping the bunny and Easter wagon, and colored the images with Copic Markers. To decorate the eggs, I used different ink colors and a white gel pen; I enjoyed making the patterns. After coloring, I used the coordinating dies (included in the set) to cut out the images. The dies cut a perfect opening for the bunny to pop up, so you don't have to worry about the bunny not fitting.

For the sentiment, I stamped "Happy Easter to All My Peeps!" from the 5733 – Easter Sentiments Set; I thought this worked great with the little chicks!

Lastly, I added pretty floral pattern paper, gray card stock, and gold glitter paper. I just love how this happy little card turned out and hope you are inspired to join in the Pop It Up! Challenge.

Have a wonderful day and Happy Easter!

Happy Easter Bunny Card!

 Happy Friday Friends!

Tasha here sharing a new Easter card inspired by Art Impressions Color Challenge #372. My card features the fun #5869 Easter Bunny Puppet Set, the #5867 - Mini Easter Sentiments Set, and bright Spring colors.

To begin, I stamped the bunny, his clothing, and the little Easter Basket. After stamping, cutting out the images was super easy using the included die set and the clothes fit perfectly on the little bunny. 

For the background, I created an outdoor scene using dies and a cloud stencil. These puffy blue clouds are so pretty and reminds me of a beautiful Spring day.

The Easter Bunny Puppet Set does not include any greetings, but Art Impressions has a variety of sentiment stamp sets that work great with the bunny image. I selected one from the Mini Easter Sentiments Set and framed it with a white and blue fishtail banner. 

Lastly, I attached layers of green, white, and navy cardstock to coordinate with the color challenge and complete the design.

Thank you for checking out today's card and I hope you will join in the challenge!
