Love You Beary Much Card by Tasha

 Happy Friday, Art Impressions friends! 

Tasha here, and today I’m sharing a Valentine’s Day card featuring the new 6103-Baby Keepsake Set. This sweet little bear was the inspiration for the whole design and I couldn’t resist adding tiny hearts to the bear’s top, they are just too cute and perfect for Valentine’s Day.

To keep with the holiday theme, I added a heart patterned paper frame and stenciled soft pink puffy clouds onto pastel pink cardstock. When I think of Valentine’s Day, I always picture hearts, pink and red tones, and a little sparkle, so I tucked in some silver glitter paper for shine.

For extra dimension, I used foam tape to pop up the bear, the flowers, and the “I Love You” sentiment. It adds so much depth and really makes the card come to life.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope this card brings a little Valentine’s inspiration your way!

Love You More! Card by Tasha

Happy Friday Art Impressions Friends! 

Tasha here sharing a new Valentine's Day card created with the super cute 5005 - Valentine Bears Set and 5741 - Valentines Paper Pack. 

I have been working on Valentine's Day cards lately and just had to create a card with this sweet little bear stamp. He is adorable with his paper heart banner and little blue top. I started by stamping the bear with black ink and used masking paper to cover him before creating the background. I made a dark brown wooden floor and covered the background wall with red hearts to bring in more color and coordinate with the Valentine's Day theme. 

After the center card was completed, I added layers of gold glitter paper, red, black, and white card stock, and a piece of pretty heart pattern paper. Lastly, I stamped "Love You More" on to a simple white banner to complete the design. I think this card will be perfect to send to a special someone this Valentine's Day!

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

 

Thinking of You Card by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Ai Friends!

Tasha here sharing a new card inspired by the current "Birds of a Feather" Challenge. My card features the swans from the new KH5820-My Favorite Birds Set. This set includes several different bird stamps, but I love swans and could not wait to use it on a project.

I started by stamping the swan couple on to white card stock and used masking paper to cover the images before creating the background. To make sure I had a crisp line, I used purple tape across the card so I wouldn't get any ink on the bottom. 

For the water, I used two shades of blue Distress Oxide Ink and a white gel pen to add a water-like detail around the birds; I love gel pens! After the color for the water was done, I used two shades of ink to make a colorful sky. The glow around the swans is so pretty!

Lastly, I stamped the "Thinking of You" greeting from the 5797 - Little Things Sentiment Set and added some white splatter to the sky. I also attached layers of black paper, gold glitter paper, heart pattern paper, and a pink enamel heart to complete the card.

I hope you enjoyed todays card and are having a great day!

Koala-Ty Valentine's Day Card by Tasha!

Happy Friday, Ai Friends! 

Tasha here, sharing my latest card featuring the super cute 5349 - Koalas Set. Koalas are just so sweet, and are perfect for a special Valentine's Day card!

The process began with the adorable Koala stamp, and to add that perfect touch of Valentine's Day charm, I introduced the heart balloon from the 5491 - Front Porch Party Set. The pop of red from the heart balloon not only screams Valentine's Day but also adds a delightful contrast to the card.

To create the scene, I used masking paper to cover the koala image before working on the sky and ground. The unveiling of the stamped image when lifting the masking paper is so fun and it's a great way to color a background on a single-layer card.

To make the ballon pop out more, I cut a second ballon image with the included coordinating die set. Layering it onto the card with foam tape brought a dynamic 3D effect, and a simple string drawn with a black Copic liner pen connected the heart balloon to the koala.

No card is complete without layers, and for this creation, I opted for glitter paper, card stock, and heart-themed pattern paper to complete the design.

Whether it's for an anniversary, Valentine's Day, Sweetest Day, or just to brighten someone's day any time of the year, this style of card is sure to make someone happy and smile!

Wishing you all a wonderful and craft-filled weekend!

"It's a Love Thing" Valentine's Day Card by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing a Valentine's Day card inspired by the Ai "You're My Everything" Challenge. For my project, I used the sweet 4752-Love Thing Set to create a Valentine's Day card for someone special.

This set is one of my favorites to use for Valentine's Day; I just love this cute couple sharing a box of chocolate. For the main image, I cut a heart out of white card stock and stamped the couple with black ink. I used markers for the coloring and added a pretty scalloped heart frame. I love the layered hearts!

For the greeting, I stamped "Happy Valentine's Day" from the 4848 - Sweet Wishes MFT Set. I like the script font and the red ink on white paper looks so elegant. 

Lastly, I added layers of red and black card stock, gold glitter paper, and a fun heart pattern paper to complete the card. The red, black, white, and gold colors look great together!

I hope you enjoyed today's card and will participate in the "You're My Everything" Challenge. 

Wood You Be Mine by Niccole

Hello Ai fans!!

I am stopping by today using the  Valentine Critters stamp set from Art Impressions.  Aren't these little animals fun?

Here is a look at the finished card.  Doesn't he look like he is glowing?  Like he is so happy and in love? Cute lil' beaver!

I started by stenciling my clouds onto the background of my kraft card stock.  

 I added three rows of clouds so it looked like my beaver was floating on cloud 9.  Doesn't the white really make it glow?

I added the sentiment "Wood you be mine?" to the bottom right corner of my card.

  I added my beaver to an Action Wobbler.  It really adds a punch in my opinion.  Besides, he shakes back and forth likes hes dancing. I finished the card off with some pink sequins for some added color and shimmer.

Here is one more image of the finished card.  I just love how happy this little guy looks, the look of love!

I really like how this little guy turned out ... like he is floating on cloud 9 and so in love.  Make sure you stop back soon and see what the Ai team is up to.
