Reach for the Stars!

Hello and Happy Friday Ai friends! Today I have a Graduation card to share with you. I'm so excited to finally get my hands on this new Ai Grad 2013 Reach for the Stars stamp SKU# 4292. It's such a fabulous sentiment stamp, and oh so versatile!

My card size is a regular A2 (4-1/4" x 5-1/2") size. I wanted to use a formal color scheme of black, sliver, and white. I used an older paper pad from DCWV 8" x 8" called La Creme Stack (printed paper with flocking). I paired that with black and brushed silver cardstock. I added some black diamond stickles to the cute star in the sentiment for some added glimmer. I added some rhinestone accent swirls to add some extra bling.

On the inside of my card I stamped a simple Congratulations sentiment SKU# G959. I added a large strip of matching designer paper at the bottom. I hope you have enjoyed my Graduation card. I can't believe graduation's are just around the corner! Thank you for stopping by the Art Impressions blog. Happy stamping!

Crop til you drop!

Hello and Happy Friday Ai friends! Today I have a fun card made with a favorite Ai People stamp called Cropper SKU# U4092. I just LOVE this fun image! So fun to make a card for your scrapbooking friends! My kraft card base is 6" x 6", a nice large square card.

I colored my image in with copic markers and rounded all the edges. I sewed the layers to the kraft base. I added seven white buttons from my button stash. The designer paper is a 6" x 6" paper pad called "Fine and Dandy", by My Mind's Eye that is just adorable paper.

 

For the inside I used a coordinating sentiment Wallets Out SKU# F4093 that matches the cropper stamp. Cause you know when you go to a crop, you are gonna spend way too much money!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend, and Happy Spring!

Dreaming of beaches...

Hello Ai friends, and happy Friday! Spring is around the corner, and I've been dreaming of beaches and sunshine! So I just had to make this fun beach card scene, using this cute Ai Penguins Beach Bum Stamp Set SKU# 3287. I LOVE this stamp set, it's just so darn cute, and so many different ways to use this adorable set.

My kraft card base is 5-1/2" x 5-1/2". I layered yellow and then aqua cardstock, then sewed all the layers together. I die cut some cute clouds and rolling beach hills from some cute My Favorite Things dies. Then I stamped the sun bathing penguins and cute coordinating sun. I colored the penguins in with copic markers.

For the inside I stamped a coordinating sentiment from the Penguin Beach Bum stamp set, and added that cute little sun image as well. I hope you enjoyed this little "think summer" card I created. Thanks for stopping by the Art Impressions Blog. Have a great weekend!

Up, Up and Away!

Hello Ai friends, and Happy Friday! I was so excited to finally ink up this adorable Ai Girlfriends Up and Away stamp, SKU# Y4231. This image is so cute, and so fun to color. This is a very special limited edition stamp too, and all proceeds go to support the Obediah fund. This stamp could be used for so many different occasions as well.

My card size is 6" x 5-1/2". I colored the image with copic markers, and used some cute My Favorite Things die cuts. I'm liking the primary colors to keep it simple and bright.

For the inside I stamped a simple "girlfriends" sentiment stamp that I received from attending Scrapfest 2012 Ai stamp class. I added a colorful flag die cut to match the colors on the front of my card. I hope you enjoyed this fun card. Thanks for stopping by the Art Impressions Blog. Please stop by tomorrow to see what fabulous inspiration Zora has in store.
