Basket of Blessings Card by Tasha!

Happy Friday Ai Friends!

Tasha here sharing one last Easter card featuring the lovely bunny from the 5116 - Basket of Blessings Set. I recently got this stamp set and immediately wanted to color this sweet bunny image. I love her dress and large Spring hat!

For the background, I decided to use my stencils to create a Springtime scene. I love clouds, but thought adding some pink stars would give the card a unique look; I think it looks so cool! I also used a grass stencil for the ground and layered on different shades of green ink to make the layers. 

After the green ink was dry, I stamped "Easter Blessings" with black ink. This greeting is from 5733 - Easter Sentiments Set and fits in perfectly with the Easter bunny. 

Lastly, I added layers of pink card stock, pink glitter paper, and plaid pattern paper. I also attached three glitter enamel dots to complete the card.

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

Every Bunny Loves Easter! Card by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing a happy Easter card featuring the new 5869 - Easter Bunny Puppet Set and 5892 - Easter S2 Paper Pack!

I started the card by stamping the bunny character and her accessories with black ink before coloring the images with Copic Markers. I used the included dies to cut out all the pieces and used liquid glue to attach the layers. This set includes several clothing pieces to make different outfits and I love this little dress, perfect for Easter!

For the background, I used a stencil to create sun rays and cut grass from green pattern paper. I think these colors and patterns give a Springtime feel to the design. I also attached a glittery scalloped frame to add a little sparkle. The yellow color is so pretty!

The 5869 - Easter Bunny Puppet Set does not include any greetings, but Art Impressions has two awesome Easter Sentiment sets that work great with the adorable bunny stamp. I selected " Every Bunny Loves Easter!" and to coordinate with the colors used for the dress, I stamped the greeting with teal ink. I usually use black ink for stamping words, but it's fun to add a pop color!

Lastly, I attached a layer of Art Impression pattern paper and a layer of teal card stock to complete the design. Thank you for checking out today's card and I hope you are inspired to create a fun Easter card!

Have a great day!

Sending Easter Wishes Card by Tasha

 Happy Friday Ai Friends!

Tasha here sharing an Easter card featuring the sweet bunny from the 5221 - Sending Love Cubbies Set. This set is adorable and is perfect for Easter/Spring cards!

I started by stamping the bunny and letter before using the included coordinating dies to cut the images out. The mailbox also has a die and opens, but I stamped it directly on to the card. This bunny looks so cheerful!

For the background, I used markers to create the grass and added puffy blue clouds with a stencil and Distress Oxide Ink. For a little extra detail, I attached several teal enamel hearts to the sky. The tiny hearts are perfect for this type of card and I love the color!

After the ink dried, I stamped "Easter Wishes" from the 5733 - Easter Sentiments Set. The handwritten greeting looks so pretty and goes well with card's theme. 

Lastly, I added a layer of Ai pattern paper, pink paper, teal glitter pattern paper, and cream plaid paper. I think this card is great for Easter, but it could also work for a birthday, or as an everyday card for someone special!

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

Hoppy Valentine's Day Card by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Ai Friends!

Tasha here, excited to share a card inspired by the February Challenge. With Spring on the horizon, I'm drawn to cute bunny stamps, and this little rabbit from the 5737- Bunny & Chicks Set is just so sweet!

I started by making a red frame with a heart die and a white center card. Stamping the bunny in black ink, I masked it off to add green grass with Copic Markers. Using a cloud stencil and blue ink, I created a sky with white gel pen accents.

The greeting, "Some Bunny Loves You," in red ink, adorned with enamel hearts, added charm. I completed the card with red accents, silver glitter, and patterned paper, along with a "Happy Valentine's Day" sentiment.

I hope you feel inspired to create your own card with Art Impressions animal stamps!

Have a wonderful day!

Here for the Chocolate Card by Tasha!

Happy Friday Art Impressions Friends! 

Tasha here sharing a delightful Valentine's Day card featuring the adorable 5401 - Easter Chicks Set. Mixing and matching sets is one of my favorite crafting techniques, and this card was so fun to create.

To start, I stamped the two darling chicks, along with a bow tie, flower, and a tiny chocolate heart box from the 5493 - Front Porch Valentines Set. It's amazing how different sets can complement each other perfectly! Once I finished coloring all the images, I used the coordinating dies included in the sets to cut them out. Having the dies makes crafting so much easier.

For the background, I cut grass out of plaid paper and used the sweet heart pattern paper from Art Impressions for the sky. These vibrant colors and hearts work perfectly with the Valentine's Day theme.

To add a fun sentiment, I stamped "Here for the Chocolate" from the 5733 - Easter Sentiments Set. I then used a small banner die to cut out the greeting and layered it on a larger banner cut from pink glitter pattern paper because who doesn't love a bit of sparkle?

Lastly, I added layers of cardstock, glitter pattern paper, and a few glitter enamel dots to add dimension and shine to the card. The final result is a cheerful and whimsical Valentine's Day card that's sure to bring a smile to someone's face.

I hope this project inspires you to mix and match your stamp sets and get creative with your cardmaking this Valentine's Day season! Have a wonderful day!

Easter Wishes Card by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing a new Easter card created for the Ai Inside & out Challenge. My card has a little Spring scene featuring the super cute 5401-Easter Chicks stamp set and 5733-Easter Sentiments Set. I love Spring cards!

These little chick stamps are adorable and this set also includes several hats to add to your projects. Since we are so close to Easter, I added the little bunny ears to one chick and attached a tulip to the second chick. I wanted it to look like one chick was gifting the other chick a pretty Spring flower. 

For the front greeting, I stamped "One Cute Chick!" from the  5733-Easter Sentiments Set and added "Easter Wishes" to the inside of the card. I also stamped a little yellow chick with tulip to the inside of the card to go with the Inside & Out theme. 

Lastly, I added purple card stock, glitter paper, and pattern paper to bring in more color. I also attached several white enamel dots to complete the card.

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

Happy Easter featuring 5792 Front and Back Bunny by Sharon Caudle

 Hello AI Fans!!

Is it starting to feel like Spring in your neck of the woods?  If it is, would you PLEASE send some my way?? LOL!  We woke up to more snow on Saturday morning! I'm trying to bring more Spring our way by making this fun easel card featuring 5792 Front and Back Bunny which is a new release at Art Impressions. Isn't he the cutest??!! I also used 5719 FB Fence and Window Set and 5723 Journal Cover and Bookmark dies. I sandwiched the fence die in between two of those beautiful frames from 5543 Journal Template Die Set. The sentiment is from 5733 Easter Sentiments Set.  I stamped this cutie onto Cryogen white paper and colored him with Copic markers which are listed below. I decided I wanted to make an easel card so you can see both the front and back of this cute little guy!  I really love how all the Journal dies work perfectly when making cards too!!  

So you just stand up the top of the card and the Happy Easter sentiment keeps the card standing for display. 

And this is how it looks when you have it on display. 

This is what it looks like when it's all closed up.  It folds flat for mailing or storing. I had to stand it on its edge to grab a picture, so it looks like it's poking out a bit in the middle. It doesn't look like that when it's laying flat.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and until next time - stay crafty!
