Cozy Fall Card by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Art Impressions friends!

Tasha here sharing a new card inspired by the When One Door Closes challenge. Since Fall is right around the corner (my favorite season!), I used the 5492-Front Porch Harvest Set to create a cozy autumn scene; pumpkins included, of course! 🎃

For the background, I stenciled a soft brick design with beige distress ink and popped up the stamped images with foam tape for extra dimension. To finish, I layered brown, golden yellow, and white card stock with a touch of leafy patterned paper to tie in the fall colors. A stitched die cut panel and a few white gel pen details pulled everything together.

I hope you enjoyed today's card and will join in the fun When One Door Closes challenge!

Swingin’ Through Retirement! Card by Tasha

 Happy Friday Art Impressions friends!

Tasha here sharing a fun golf-themed card created with the new 6080-Birdie Betty Stamp Set and the 6101-Golf Paper Pack.

I started by stamping Betty and her golf bag with black ink, cutting them out with the included dies, and coloring them up. One of my favorite things about Art Impressions is how cute the outfits always are; I had so much fun giving Betty a purple and white look with pops of pink on her shoes and glasses. Honestly, I’d love to have an outfit like this for a day on the golf course!

To build the card, I layered Betty and her bag over a patterned paper from the Golf Pack; I love the little golf scene design. 

For the sentiment, I stamped “Swingin’ Through Retirement” and die-cut it with a circle, then added a small purple heart to tie in with her outfit. A mix of green, tan, and plaid layers finished everything off with that classic golf vibe.

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

Time to Par Tee! Card by Tasha

Happy Friday Art Impressions friends!

Tasha here sharing a new card inspired by the current Art Impressions Sports & Leisure Challenge. For this project, I used the 4902-Par-Tee Golfers Set and the 5062-Rounded Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies to create a fun golf-themed design.

I stamped the golfer lady with black ink and colored her outfit in pink Copic shades; perfect for a sunny day at the country club! The background features fluffy stenciled clouds and green grass (my favorite combo to make!). To frame the scene, I layered white and pink cardstock with plaid paper and added a pop of gold glitter.

To finish the card, I stamped “Let’s...Par Tee!” in pink ink and die-cut it with a rounded rectangle before popping it up with foam tape. I also attached two clear rhinestones to her skirt for extra sparkle. Such a fun way to celebrate the challenge theme!

I hope you enjoyed today's card and will join in the Sports & Leisure Challenge!

Hatty Birthday! Card by Tasha

Happy Friday Art Impressions friends!

Tasha here sharing a new shaker card featuring the fun 5404-Miss Set. I love making birthday cards, and adding a shaker element makes it feel extra festive and special!

To start, I stamped the lady and her birthday hat with black hybrid ink and colored them with Copic Markers. The coordinating dies included in this set made cutting the images quick and easy; and I love that the hat die is designed to fit perfectly on top of her head!

For the shaker, I used the 5063-Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies along with foam tape to create a raised frame. I added a piece of “Happy Birthday” patterned paper for the background and filled it with pretty sequins before sealing it up. On the acetate, I stamped “Hatty Birthday” and added a layer of silver glitter paper for extra sparkle.

To finish the card, I layered gray, white, and pink cardstock with more glitter paper for a coordinated look. A few white enamel dots were the perfect final touch to complete this fun, celebratory design.

Warm Winter Wishes! Card by Tasha

 Happy Friday Art Impressions friends!

Tasha here sharing a card inspired by the current Stitches & Scallops Challenge. For this project, I used the super cute 5802 – Joyful Snowman Set and 6047 – Scalloped Square Dies to create a cheerful winter scene. It’s never too early to get a head start on holiday cards!

I stamped the snowman with black ink and colored him with Copic markers. To give his winter accessories extra personality, I used a black liner pen to draw a knitted pattern; little custom touches like this are some of my favorite ways to add detail. I even added a tiny heart to his pocket for an extra sweet look. After that, I cut him out with the coordinating die and popped him up with foam tape for dimension.

For the background, I created a snowy hill and paired it with Art Impressions snowflake pattern paper for the sky. To match the challenge theme, I added scalloped frames in two sizes; one with a slightly different scalloped edge, which adds great visual interest.

The card base features layers of blue, white, and gray cardstock, along with a piece of blue plaid pattern paper that ties in perfectly with the colors on the snowman. To finish it off, I used a white gel pen to add extra snowflakes directly onto the snowman for that frosty, wintery feel.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you’ll join us in the challenge!

Seas the Day! Card by Tasha

 Happy Friday Art Impressions friends!

Tasha here sharing a new card created with the 6075-Crusin’ Carol Set and the 6098-Cruise Paper Pack. I’ve been loving all the new Ai People sets, and this one is extra special to me; I LOVE cruising!

For this project, I went with bright tropical colors; perfect for a Caribbean getaway! One of my favorite parts of cruising is trying all the fun fruity drinks, and Carol is definitely on cruise control with her frozen cocktail in hand. Time to kick off that vacation!

The background came together super fast since it’s one of the awesome pre-printed sheets from the Cruise Paper Pack. Just add Carol and you’ve got an instant vacation scene; I love how easy and vibrant it turned out!

To finish the card, I layered tan, white, and navy cardstock along with a fun anchor-patterned paper to match the cruise theme. I also added one of the included sentiments to tie everything together.

Hope you enjoyed today’s project and that you're having a fabulous day!

Loungin' Lifestyle! Card by Tasha

 Hi Art Impressions friends!

Tasha here sharing a fun Summer card created with the new 6077-Loungin’ Linda stamp set and the 6100-Lounge Paper Pack.

To start my card, I stamped the fabulous Linda image and used the included die to cut her out. I colored her using markers inspired by the sunny pool scene in the paper pack; so many cheerful Summer colors! I even used a black liner pen to add some custom details to her swimsuit. I love coloring clothing and hats, so this stylish stamp is quickly becoming one of my new favorites. And seriously, how fun is that oversized hat?

After Linda was all colored and ready to lounge, I popped her up in the center of the card using foam tape for extra dimension. To finish it off, I layered pink, coral, and white cardstock to match her outfit. These bright colors are perfect for Summer, and I love how everything came together!

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you’re having a wonderful day!

Vacation Vibes! Card by Tasha

 Happy Friday Art Impressions friends!

Tasha here, and today I’m excited to share a new card featuring the fabulous 6075-Cruisin’ Carol Set. I absolutely love tropical getaways, and Carol is clearly all set for sunshine, relaxation, and a fruity drink or two!

To start off, I stamped the fun Carol image along with the little suitcase using black hybrid ink. I then used the coordinating dies to cut them out before coloring with Copic Markers. I kept the color palette vibrant and tropical, and to match the theme, I created a beach-inspired background using layers of patterned paper. For the center card, I used the 5063-Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies to give it a clean, polished edge.

To add a bit of sparkle (because who doesn’t love a little glitter?), I layered in some silver glitter paper. Once that center piece was complete, I built up the rest of the card using dark purple, white, and lavender cardstock, along with a gorgeous floral patterned paper from Ai. The purple flowers really caught my eye and inspired the purples I used in Carol’s outfit; so fun to coordinate everything!

For the finishing touches, I stamped “Vacation Vibes” onto a small banner and added some white gel pen accents to highlight a few details to complete the design!

I hope today’s card inspires you to craft something sunny and fun using the Cruisin’ Carol Set!

Happy Bee-day! Card by Tasha

Happy Friday, Art Impressions friends!

Tasha here sharing a fun card I made for the current Ai “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!

Season's Greetings! Card by Tasha

 Happy Friday Art Impressions Friends!

Tasha here sharing a new card inspired by the current Art Impressions LEON Day! Challenge. Can you believe we’re already halfway to Christmas? LEON (which is “NOEL” spelled backward) is the perfect time to start thinking about winter cards, and I had so much fun creating this snowy design!

For my project, I used the adorable 5954-Woodland Bears Set. I just love this little bear and the sweet bird; it’s such a cozy winter scene! I stamped the main image with black ink and used the coordinating die to cut it out before coloring the image with Copic Markers.

To build the background, I layered white cardstock to look like a snowy hillside and added several pine trees behind the bear to create a forest effect. For the sky, I used a snow print pattern paper with falling snowflakes; it really adds a winter feel.

To complete the card, I added layers of silver glitter paper for some sparkle, along with green, white, and blue cardstock. I also included a piece of Art Impressions’ winter-themed patterned paper to tie everything together.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card and feel inspired to join the LEON Day! Challenge; it's a great excuse to start your holiday crafting early!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Seas the Day! Card by Tasha

 Happy Friday, Art Impressions friends!

Tasha here, sharing a cheerful Summer card featuring the adorable 5399-Gull-Friends Set.

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!

For the Beary Best Dad! card by Tasha

 Happy Friday, Art Impressions friends!

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; 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!
