You're a Treasure Card by Tasha!

Happy Friday Ai Friends!

Tasha here sharing a fun Summer card created with the new 5903-Treasured Armful Set. I have always loved mermaids and this mermaid stamp is just so cute and a lot of fun to color.

To begin this beach-themed card, I stamped the mermaid and conch shell with black ink and cut both pieces out using the included die set. The die also cuts an opening that allows you to attach the shell to make it look as if she is holding it; I think this looks so cool!

After coloring, I created a little beach scene for the background. I used a wave pattern paper for the water and stenciled the puffy clouds to make a pretty blue sky. This looks like a perfect beach day!

For the sentiment, I embossed the included "You're a Treasure" greeting on to black card stock. I love white lettering and the black & white color combination looks great with all the bright colors.

Lastly, I attached blue and black card stock and a wood pattern paper to coordinate with the beach theme.

I hope you enjoyed this card and are inspired to create with the fun 5903-Treasured Armful Set.

Have a wonderful day!

Fall into Fall Challenge #360

Hello everyone! We have a new challenge beginning today. I had to Google it to see if I was rushing things...lol. Turns out the official start of Fall is during this challenge so, it's all good!

Fall begins on...

Now for the MAIN FEAUTURE!

Mercy has a dies only card with the exception of her sentiment.
Art Impressions has added some fabulous die sets over the last two years!

Here we are starting a new challenge, all about fall! My favorite season! I love the feel, smell and colors of autumn. But if I had to chose, the two things that stand out the most for me are the harvest festivals and fall leaves. Both so fun. In today's card I am using a newly released die set, the Fall Leaf Frame Die Set. I decided to use this staple set as the "main" character, not combined with any other set and I loved the results. Let's take a look,

For this project, I used a technique I don't often apply but equally enjoy, paper piecing. As shown below I did not cut apart the frame set. I die cut the first piece in yellow cardstock and removed the center and outer pieces from the frame.

Following this step I repeated the process using red cardstock except I only removed the centerpiece part of the die. Then I adhered the two pieces together as shown below.

I proceeded to stamp the sentiment. In addition, I die cut the frame using different color cardstock.

Following the previous step, I overlaid the center cut out as a guide to adhere the "floating die pieces".

I avoided the area where the sentiment was stamped and added a few extra layers to some of the leaves and the mushroom. Finally I used Glossy Accent on selected elements.

I love this card, it's fun and pretty easy to create. Hope you have a lovely day and will see you next time!
