Home Sweet Home Card by Tasha

 Happy Friday Art Impressions friends!

Tasha here sharing a card created with the new 6116-Thinking of Home set. I love cards that feature animals and this little sleeping kitty is just so cute; she looks like she is enjoying a cat nap on a warm Summer day. I also love the little blue bird!

To create the box card base, I used the 6121-Storybook Template die and selected a pretty piece of Art Impressions pattern paper from the 5955-Encouragement Paper Pack. The light colors in the pattern paper really frames the center design nicely.

Lastly, I colored all the images with Copic Markers before attaching them to the inside of the card base. The stamp set also includes all the dies and similar to the Art Impressions Matchbook sets, the images all have a scored tabs to allow each piece to fit perfectly together. I love building little scenes and this one is perfect to send to someone special any time of the year!

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

Boo to You! Card by Tasha

 Happy Friday Art Impressions friends! 

Tasha here sharing a Halloween card featuring the sweet kitty cat ghost from the 6112-Pumpkin Parade Set. I love all the cute trick or treaters in this set, but the cat ghost is my favorite!

The cat was colored with Copic Markers and used pattern paper for the sky and ground; I love mixing the pattern paper prints! I also added a little spider and used a white gel pen to make it look like the spider is hanging from a web. 

To complete the card, I added purple plaid pattern paper and layers of orange, black, and white card stock to coordinate with the Halloween theme. I think this card is so fun and perfect to send to someone special this Fall season!

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you are having a wonderful day!

Boo Crew! Card by Tasha

 Happy Friday Art Impressions Friends!

Tasha here sharing a fun Fall card featuring the new 6112-Pumpkin Parade Set.

I always enjoy making Halloween cards, and Art Impressions has the cutest characters for creating little Fall and Halloween scenes. For my project, I used the not-so-scary cat dressed in her ghost costume along with the adorable owl image; because I absolutely love owls!

To set the scene, I added a tree filled with colorful leaves, a rake, and two pumpkins. A piece of patterned paper worked perfectly for the ground to tie everything together.

For the greeting, I heat embossed “Boo Crew!” on black cardstock and attached it with foam tape for some extra dimension. Finally, I layered plaid patterned paper with brown, white, and orange cardstock to complete the design.

This cheerful little Fall card just makes me smile. I hope it inspires you to create something festive for the season! 🎃

Happy Halloween! Card by Tasha

 Happy Friday, Art Impressions fans! 

Tasha here with a fun new Halloween card to share. Fall is right around the corner, and I’m so excited to dive into festive Halloween designs! For today’s project, I used the 5769-Halloween FB Fence Set and the 5456-Spooky Wagon Set to create a playful, not-so-spooky scene.

I started by layering the fence frame over a piece of Art Impressions star pattern paper; one of my favorites for Halloween! The purple sky sets the perfect backdrop. From there, I added two little ghosts and two bats (with their eyes drawn in using a white gel pen for extra detail).

In front of the fence, I tucked in autumn leaves, a tiny pumpkin, and the cutest kitty wearing a witch hat; I just love cat stamps! Of course, I couldn’t resist adding a spider crawling on the pumpkin for a little Halloween charm.

To finish it off, I layered golden yellow, white, and black metallic paper, and a piece of candy corn pattern paper for that extra festive touch. This card was so much fun to make, and I can’t wait to create even more Halloween designs this season!

Love Fur-Ever! MB Card by Tasha

 Happy Friday Art Impressions Friends! 

Tasha here sharing a new card created with the super cute 6016-MB Pet Shop Set. 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 pattern paper to complete the project. 

I hope you enjoyed today's card share 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 Christmas Card by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Ai Friends!

Tasha here sharing a holiday card featuring the 4936 - Christmas Wonder Set and new 5782 - Snowflake Frame Die. This project was inspired by the current Art Impressions "Making Spirits Bright" Challenge and I love creating pet-themed Christmas cards!

To make the little outdoor scene, I stamped the animals and used masking paper to cover the image before ink blending the background. I also used colored pencils to add more color to ground and stenciled snowflakes with a glitter paste. I think the falling snow is so pretty!

To frame the center card, I used the new 5782 - Snowflake Frame Die. The frame fits around the trio perfectly and I love the snowflake pattern! I also added paw print pattern paper and layers of green and red card stock to bring in more holiday colors. 

Lastly, I added an embossed "Seasons Greetings" sentiment from the 5566 - Christmas Sentiments Set and attached the card to a white card base to complete the design.

Thank you for checking out today's card and I hope you will participate in the "Making Spirits Bright" Challenge!

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing a cat-themed holiday card created for the Ai Christmas Came Early Challenge. For my project I'm featuring the cute 5098 - Cozy Cubbies Set and the 5566 - Christmas Sentiments Set. I love these cute little cat stamps and the Ai cubbies are always fun!

In addition to the current challenge, Art Impressions is also a sponsor of the Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge. be sure to head over to the challenge site to see more details on how to participate and read more about this special Hop.

Art Impressions has so many cat stamp sets and it's fun to mix the sets or think of new ways to use the stamps. To give the design a Christmas feel, I drew little lights around the cat tree and used holiday colors throughout the card. I also added a little snowflake design on the cat toy, it reminds me of an ornament,

For the greeting, I embossed with white on to red card stock to bring in more red color and cut around the words with scissors. I just love the way embossed letters look; so pretty!

Lastly, I added layers of green and tan card stock and a paw print holiday pattern paper. I think this card is so happy and will be great to send to someone special this holiday season!

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

The Perrfect Halloween Card by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing a new Halloween card inspired by the current "Feeling Blue" Challenge. I LOVE all the Art Impressions Halloween sets, but the 5506 - Peek-a-Boo Set has become a favorite; this little witch and kitty are just too cute!

I have never thought of using blue colors on a Halloween card, but totally think all these blue shades made a cool night scene. To go with the theme, I used three shades of blue Distress Oxide ink for the sky and all my blue markers on the coloring. It was fun to see this design come together and the moon looks so cool with the blue clouds.

To coordinate with the blue color, I decided to add pops of yellow and orange on the girl and cat. I usually make black cats for Halloween, but this sweet orange cat looks adorable! 

For the greeting, I embossed "Happy Halloween" directly on to the card. The bright white letters look awesome against the dark blue ground and it's the perfect size for so many projects. 

Lastly, I added layers of black card stock, blue glitter paper, and a web pattern paper to complete the design. I hope you enjoyed this card and are inspired to participate in the Art Impressions "Feeling Blue" Challenge!

Hello Fall Card by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing a Fall themed card featuring the 4849-Celebrate Spring MFT and 5369-Feline Set.

The Celebrate Spring Set is an Easter themed set, but I love this interactive door and wanted to use it for a different season. I stamped the door with black ink and colored it with Copic markers. I used the included die to cut the door opening and used a stencil to create the brick detail. 

For the background, I used the 4964 -WC Branches Set and markers to create trees full of colorful leaves. I also added a golden sky using Distress Oxide Ink and a cloud stencil; I love all the yellow and orange colors!

Lastly, I added a sweet little kitty to the inside of the doorway and attached a "Hello" die cut to the bottom of the card. The cat looks so peaceful sleeping on a pile of leaves!

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

New Release - Peek-a-Boo Set Halloween Card by Tasha!

Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing a new Halloween card created with the super cute 5506 - Peek-a-Boo Set! 

The set includes several Halloween-themed characters and the coordinating dies. It also has this cool window stamp that can pop open to allow a character to peek out. I love how this little kitty looks peeking out of the window!

For the greeting, I stamped "Happy Halloween" with black ink on to a white banner and cut a larger banner with the Ai 5133-Flag Double Stitched Dies. I also added a sparkly web and spider for extra detail! These spider webs are so awesome and come a variety of sizes.

All of the characters were stamped with black hybrid ink and colored with Copic Markers. I couldn't decide which character to use, so I used them all on this festive card. I love these not-so-scary characters!

Lastly, I added purple glitter paper, bright green cardstock, and a star pattern paper to complete the card. I think this interactive card is really fun and will be perfect to send out this Fall!

I hope you enjoyed a peek at the new Ai 5506 - Peek-a-Boo Set!
