2020 Show Schedule Announced and Hugs & Kisses Challenge 273!

Hello, Ai Fans!

We are excited to announce our 2020 Show Schedule! We are visiting 25 cities around the country, as well as hosting our Sixth Annual Warehouse Sale in Oregon! At each show, you can find our NEWEST product, complete a FREE make & take each day, and watch our specialist demo watercolor and Bible Journaling techniques! To top it all off, nearly every product in our booth is priced 15% lower than our website! We love to see you at shows, and hope to see you at one or more in 2020!

Stay tuned for information about our NEW Watercolor Workshop and 2020 Exclusive Stamp Set! Our Watercolor Workshop is a popular class - nearly half of our classes sold out last year - so mark your calendar to check the promoter's website regularly, as class registration typically opens 2 months in advance.

It's time for a new challenge! Since Valentine's Day is right around the corner, this week's challenge is called Hugs and Kisses to celebrate this season! We would love to see your ideas come to life that include hugs, kisses, or both! Make your Valentine feel fun and festive with a theme of love in all its expressions--romance, friendship, family, etc.--the sky's the limit! If you're looking for some inspiration, please check out our Valentine's category on artimpressions.com or our Valentine's Day Pinterest Page.

We want to see how you create cards with hugs and kisses as a main element of your card! Though you can use any stamps you have, we'd love to see any Valentines from Ai if you have any in your collection! Hurry, challenge closes January 15th at 5PM PT!

Here are the Challenge Rules...

✻ Please make a new card or creation. You can make any crafty item you wish; this is not limited to cards!

✻ Limit two submissions per person. You will receive extra votes if you use Art Impressions stamps!

Where will Art Impressions be? November 2017

As the end of the year approaches, we are wrapping up our 2017 show season! Visit us in Ontario, Cali. for Stamp & Scrapbook Expo or Mesa, AZ for Rubber Stamp Events on the first weekend of November! Our booth has our newest stamps, dies, and accessories priced 15% lower than our website! You will enjoy a free make & take each day of the show, as well as watercolor demos from our experts!

We still have space in our Ontario Watercolor Workshop, both on Friday and Saturday at 8:30AM! Additionally, we have made a change to class availability for our Mesa Watercolor Workshop. The 8:00AM section has been cancelled, but there is still room in our 10:30AM class! We hope to see you there!

Our 3rd Annual Warehouse Sale is coming up this November 17-18 in Keizer, OR! We are excited to see our local crafters, as well as some out of state visitors for this fun event! We will have huge discounts, giveaways, and even cookies and coffee to keep you going! Since this event is one weekend before Thanksgiving, we wanted to lend a hand to our community by requesting guests to bring two cans of food, or $5 to help pay for turkeys, for our local Keizer Community Food Bank. This is not required, but we know our donations will make a difference in our community!

If you are coming to the sale, you will certainly enjoy taking a class or two (or more!) from our fantastic instructors, Kendra Krebs and Kate Swanson! Together, they are offering 7 different classes, including watercolor, holiday, and interactive cardmaking! Register for class at the links below:

Ontario, CA Stamp & Scrapbook Expo November 3-4    *Classes Available Fri & Sat

Mesa, AZ Rubber Stamp Events November 4-5    *Class 10:30AM Fri
