 Happy Friday friends!

Tasha here sharing a new card inspired by the current Art Impressions "Spread Kindness" Challenge. 

For my project I used the fun 5507-Harvest Together Set and pretty pattern paper from the 6237-Pastel Meadow Cover Paper Pack. 

I wanted to create a Fall-themed card, but decided to use soft pastel colors that coordinated with the floral pattern paper. I love the pink and tan color combination! I also added clouds to the background in similar orange and pink pastel shades to keep the background bright but still have a Fall feel.

Lastly, I attached layers of pink, tan, and white card stock and a white scalloped frame to the center card. I also attached a simple banner for the greeting and added little stitch marks with a black pen for some extra detail. I hope you enjoyed today's card and will join in the Challenge!

Hope you have a great weekend!

Ole Buck Card!

 Happy Friday  friends! 

Tasha here sharing a fun birthday card created with the 5043 – Ole Buck Set from Art Impressions.

I had so much fun coloring this group of hunters with Copic Markers. I used lots of greens and browns for the camouflage and added pops of bright orange to really make the images stand out.

For the background, I created some soft orange clouds with Distress Oxide ink and a cloud stencil. I also added a simple grassy ground using quick Copic Marker flicks to keep the focus on the stamped images.

I layered the card with orange, green, brown, and plaid papers to coordinate with the coloring. I also added a couple layers behind the sentiment to give it a little extra dimension.

The “Sending a Few Bucks for Your Birthday” sentiment makes me smile and is perfect with these guys!

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

Vampire Card

Hi friends!

Tasha here sharing a Halloween card inspired by the current Art Impressions Challenge! For my card, I used the little vampire from the 5506-Peek-a-Boo Stamp Set. I love this happy little vampire and his cute batty friend!

I started my card with a purple alcohol ink background. To go along with the current Ai Challenge, I added several silver glitter spiderwebs around the center of the card. I love all the different styles of webs and how the glitter adds a little sparkle!

To complete the card, I added layers of purple and white cardstock along with purple glitter paper to coordinate with the colors used on the vampire. I also added a piece of spiderweb pattern paper to tie everything together.

I love how this Halloween card turned out, and I hope you are inspired to join in the current challenge and create something fun!

Have a wonderful day!

Pink Magic!

 Happy Friday  friends!

Tasha here sharing a Halloween card created with the Art Impressions 5506-Peek-a-Boo Set. Now that we are in the month of September, I am in full Fall mode and have been having so much fun bringing out my Halloween sets

I love the color pink, so I decided to add tons of pink shades to this card. I love how the pink pops against the black and white spiderweb pattern paper. The sky was created with Distress Oxide Ink, and I used Copic Markers for the rest of the coloring. I added some fun white gel pen accents and finished the card with the spiderweb pattern paper.

I had so much fun making this spooky and bright Halloween card!

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!

Happy Bee-Day!

 Happy Friday Friends!

Tasha here sharing a bee-themed birthday card featuring the sweet little Honey Bear Freebie Stamp along with the new 6158-Story Tile Template Die from Art Impressions, which has quickly become my new favorite die.

This whole card was inspired by the honey bear. I love all bee-themed items, and once I stamped the little bear image, I thought it would be fun to create a tile card filled with bee-themed elements. The 5925-Honey Bee Set was perfect for this design, and the stamps fit into the tiles beautifully.

To fill the tiles, I stamped honeycomb images to tie everything together and used Distress Oxide Ink to add extra yellow color. The bright yellow really gives the card a cheerful feel.

To finish the design, I added the tile frame cut from honeycomb pattern paper along with layers of gold glitter paper and black cardstock before adhering everything to a white card base.

For the greeting, I stamped "Happy Bee-Day!" and blended yellow ink around the edges to create a soft glow effect on the panel. This set includes several bee-themed greetings, but this one fit nicely into the smaller tile and I really like the script front style.

Lastly, I added the tile frame cut from a honeycomb pattern paper, layers of gold glitter paper, and black card stock to complete the design before adhering it to a white card base.

Thank you for checking out my card today and I hope you are inspired to create a tile card.

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!

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!

Be My Valentine Card!

 Happy Friday, Friends!

Tasha here, sharing a cheerful Valentine's Day card inspired by the current Art Impressions Highlights Challenge! For this project, I used the sweet  M3229-Valentine Mail stamp featuring the cutest little birdie.

This small stamp is packed with charming details, and I love how the sentiment perfectly frames the design. To bring it to life, I colored the image using Copic Markers and added tiny highlights with a white paint marker—I love adding highlights!

Once the center card design was complete, I framed it with layers of sparkling silver glitter paper, classic black cardstock, and a gorgeous alcohol ink-blended background I created myself. The vibrant colors match the Valentine's theme beautifully! If you're curious about making your own ink-blended backgrounds, be sure to check out my detailed tutorial here.

 To finish the card, I layered it on Art Impressions' heart-patterned paper and added extra black cardstock to tie everything together. 

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope today’s card inspires you to join the Highlights Challenge!

Trick or Treat!

 Hi fiends!

Tasha here sharing a new Halloween card created with the fun new 5934 - Spooky Crew Set from Art Impressions. This new set has four super cute characters and a cool haunted house stamp that is perfect for a not-so-spooky scene!

I started the card by stamping three characters, little pumpkin hats, and the haunted house image. I used the included dies to cut the images out and colored them all with Copic Markers. After coloring I attached the characters with liquid glue and added foam tape behind the mouse to raise him up. These friends look like they are totally ready for some Trick or Treating!

The background was created with two shades of purple Distress Oxide Ink and I splattered water on top; I love the water spots! For the ground, I layered two pieces of die cut grass in a deep olive shade. I thought this shade of green looked nice with the purple sky and was dark enough to go with the Halloween scene.

The greeting "Trick or Treat!" was stamped with black ink on to white paper with a stenciled moon detail. I also attached the haunted house with liquid glue to the background and I tried to give the house a spooky look with cool gray colors. 

Lastly, I added silver glitter paper for sparkle, a spiderweb pattern paper, and a bright lime green paper to complete the card. This card was so much fun to make and I cannot wait to make more Halloween projects with the new set.

Have a wonderful day!

Magical Day Card!

Happy Friday Friends!

Tasha here sharing a card inspired by the current Art Impressions Challenge. The theme is Magical Creatures and I thought it was the perfect time to create with the new 5915 - Woodland Fairies Set!

I love fairies and when looking at the images included in this set, I just couldn't decide on which fairy to use, so I selected three for this card. To make a little scene, I stamped a bench and covered it with masking paper before stamping the fairy in the back. I just love masking!

Since I wanted it to look like the other two fairies were sitting on the bench, I used the included coordinating die set to cut them out and attached them to the card with foam tape. Don't they look so adorable, I love the little wings!

For the background, I used a cloud and grass stencil to make the ground and sky. I also used two Ai grass stamps to add more detail to the ground and attached several enamel flowers for extra color. 

Lastly, I attached silver paper, purple card stock, and a fun star pattern paper to complete the card. I hope you enjoyed today's project and will join in the Magical Creatures Challenge!

Magical Day Card!

Thinking of You!

 Happy Friday!

Tasha here sharing a new card inspired by the current Art Impressions "Birds of a Feather" Challenge. My card features the swans from the new KH5820-My Favorite Birds Set from Art Impressions. This set includes several different bird stamps, but I love swans and could not wait to use it on a project.

I started by stamping the swan couple on to white card stock and used masking paper to cover the images before creating the background. To make sure I had a crisp line, I used purple tape across the card so I wouldn't get any ink on the bottom. 

For the water, I used two shades of blue Distress Oxide Ink and a white gel pen to add a water-like detail around the birds; I love gel pens! After the water was colored, I used two shades of ink (Pink & Yellow) to make a colorful sky. The glow around the swans is so pretty!

Lastly, I stamped the "Thinking of You" greeting from the 5797 - Little Things Sentiment Set and added some white splatter to the sky. I also attached layers of black paper, gold glitter paper, heart pattern paper, and a pink enamel heart to complete the card.

I hope you enjoyed todays project and are having a great day!
