Hippity, Hoppity, Easter's on its Way! Card by Tasha

 Happy Friday everyone!

Tasha here sharing a fun new Easter card. I still can't believe it's already Easter time, seems like the year just started. For my project, I used the 6008-Bunny Hugs set and 6103-Baby Keepsake Set to make a cheerful little scene. I had a lot of fun coloring the pretty flowers and love the mix of colors!

I started by stamping the bunny, flowers, and basket and used the included dies to cut all the images out before coloring. After, I used Copic Markers to color before layering the pieces on to the card with foam tape. I  like having a little dimension on my cards. 

For the greeting, I stamped "Bunny Hugs" on to white paper. I love the scripty font style and the size of this sentiment. I also matted the greeting with the same papers I used for the larger layers to have everything coordinate.

Lastly, I attached layers of white, pink, metallic pink, and pink plaid pattern paper. I also used a white gel pen to add little accents to the images to complete the design. 

Thank you for checking out today's project and I hope you all have a wonderful Easter weekend!

Focus on Faith Easter card with Sara Furr

 

Blessings Ai Friends, and welcome back to another edition of "Focus on Faith" with me, Sara Furr! I am so glad you are here with me today! Here were are in the middle of March already, with Easter coming just around the corner, so I knew I wanted to create a pretty Easter card for you today! I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed creating it!

I started my project by pulling out my floral dsp from Art Impressions, and I chose a pretty blue floral and a blue gingham from the "Bible Journaling S1" paper pack. I already had a cross cut from the "Crosses" die set, so I pulled that out as well. I cut a fancy white panel from the "Decorative Journal Page" Die set and used all of those elements to start building my card.

I decided to use some of the pretty florals from the "Water of Life" stamp set. I began by placing my cross die cut,that I had cut from a fine glitter paper, in the center of my white die cut panel, and decided how I wanted to arrange my florals coming off either side of the top and bottom, behind the cross. I set the cross aside, and I began

stamping the outline posies and also one of the leaf branches in Black Momento ink, and I colored the florals with alcohol markers in a very light blue and green. Then, I went into each floral and added in details with the fine point of a dye ink marker in 2 darker shades of blue. I then added some foliage and flowers in the background stamped using dye ink markers. To blend and add in some blue shading, I used a very light greenish blue alcohol marker. Once I was happy with my background florals, I glued down my cross die cut. 

Next, I stamped the Hallelujah from the "Frameworks Sentiments" stamp set onto a piece of white scrap cardstock with Black Versafine Ink, let it dry a bit, and then fussy cut it out with my detail scissors, and popped it up with tiny pieces of foam tape. I applied foam tape to the back of that focal panel and set it aside.

I distressed the edges of both the gingham panel and the floral panel, and added foam tape to the back of the gingham panel and adhered that to the floral panel on the right side. I wrapped and tied a crinkle bow off to the left hand side with a white button tied to the middle of the bow. That whole panel was adhered to my white card base. Lastly, I adhered down the popped up focal panel with my pretty floral spray and cross with the Hallelujah sentiment. 

And that finishes my card for today. I hope you like it and that maybe you got inspired to create some pretty Religious Easter creations as well. I wish could have gotten the Religious Easter sets, as there are so many that I would love to get, but I just don't have the money, so I made do with what I have. After all, you can't go wrong with pretty florals and Crosses, right?! Haha.

I hope you all have a very happy and Blessed Easter with your family, and I will see you back here on the Tuesday just after Easter. 

Wishing you all many Blessings, 

Sara Furr- The Crafty Farm Chick

There's No Bunny Like You! Card by Tasha

 Happy Friday Art Impressions friends! 

Tasha here sharing a Spring card featuring the 6008-Bunny Hugs Set and the 6099-Garden Paper Pack.

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!

This Easter Card is All Ears (and a Little Beak)! by Tasha

 Happy Friday Art Impressions friends!

Tasha here sharing an Easter card inspired by the current "ABC, 123" Challenge. The project features the fun 5401-Easter Chicks Set and these bunny ears are just too cute!!!

To go with the Challenge theme, I used the 5562-Journal Letter Die Set for the greeting. Instead of having the letters go straight across, I decided to have them curve around the oval frame. I think this looks awesome and love the pop of pastel blue!

Lastly, I attached layers of yellow, white, and pastel blue cardstock and a piece of carrot pattern paper to bring in tons of Spring colors. I also added a scalloped frame to complete the design. This card makes me happy and I can't wait to send it to someone special this Easter!

I hope you enjoyed today's card and will join in the "ABC, 123" Challenge.

Happy Easter!

Happy Spring! Card by Tasha

 Happy Friday Art Impressions Friends!

Tasha here sharing a new card featuring the super cute "Happy Spring" Stamp Set. 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 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!

New Belly Band Bunny card by Reneé Matarese

 Hello Ai fans!

There are some fun new releases on the Art Impressions website.

Today I've used the brand new 5804 – Decorative Belly Bands.
There was a delay in shipping initially, so my card is a bit late for Valentine's Day.

This would be SO CUTE as an Easter card though. Just swap out the sentiment with one from one of your favorite Easter sets. If the pink paper isn't your thing, Art Impressions has lots of pretty Easter sets or basic pads that have other beautiful spring colors and patterns in them.

Ai Paper Pads

I love that Art Impressions is offering so many die sets now. They really compliment their adorable images and help create such a finished and special look to your cards and craft projects. I don't think that I could pick a favorite.

Shake, Hop, and Celebrate! Card by Tasha

 Happy Friday Art Impressions Friends!

Sharing a new Easter card inspired by the current "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.  To add extra color, I attached a layer of teal paper; I love the pop of color behind the sentiment!

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 Easter! Happy Spring! by Reneé Matarese

 Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing an Easter shaker card.

The 5274 Easter Bunnies Set is just so cute and has many main images to choose from as well as lots of sentiments to compliment the images.

I've already made a ton of shaker cards using the snowglobe domes from Art Impressions and I see many more in my future!

Maybe I'm just a big kid at heart because I kept shaking and shaking this. I think anyone would appreciate receiving this card.

Little Hello Card by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Ai Friends!

Tasha here sharing a Spring pop-up card featuring the new 5870 - Peeking Bunny Set. This set has quickly become a favorite and I love how the bunny image can pop up in the little flower pot.

The bunny and tulips were all cut with the included coordinating dies and colored with markers. I also added some glitter to the tulips for extra sparkle; they look so pretty!

To allow the bunny to pop up or be removed from the flower pot, I used foam tape on the tulips and a thin layer along the Botton of the pot. I also made sure not the add foam to the center of the pot so the bunny would fit. 

The greeting used "Sending a little hello" is from the 5797 - Little Things Sentiment Set and the banner is from the 5809 - Decorative Journal Page Set 2. I like the stitched border on the banner and the tiny greetings fits perfectly!

Lastly, I added frames from the 5768 - Decorative Journal Page Set 1 and layers of pretty paper. I wanted to continue with the Springtime theme, so I used pastel shades and a layer of Art Impressions floral pattern paper. This paper is beautiful and brings in so much color; I love it!

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