Renee's 13th Anniversary Giveaway

 Hello Ai fans!

Welcome to my 13th anniversary giveaway!
I know some people think 13 is an unlucky number, but for two
of you...it will be very lucky!

Flashback to Tuesday, July 5, 2011 when I was a nervous new
Design Team member. My first card was actually made for a NY Met!
My friend was friends with his wife and was going to their baby shower.
(No, I don't remember who it was)

I want to celebrate 13 fabulous years at Art Impressions with two giveaways for you!

I have two retired, exclusive sets to give away.

Let's get the fine print out of the way before you see what sets I'm offering.

You may enter one time for the chance to win one of the sets. You just need to upload any project using Art Impressions stamps or dies to be eligible.  It will be a random drawing.

 Duplicate entries will be deleted. 

I will allow international entries but I will ship the sets to Art Impressions if you 

win and Leah will include them in your package the next time you order
from the Art Impressions website.

Please include your First Name and Last Initial on your entry.

To enter...Just upload a card or project you've made using Art Impressions products.

That's it!
Any theme and it doesn't have to be a new project.

Contest begins today and ends on July 16th.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, let's see what sets may be on their way to you very soon!

The first set is 5863 Christmas Mailbox Set from December 2023.

Although it was sold as a Christmas set, Bonnie wisely left off anything Christmasy or wintery from the mailboxes and included some fun accessories so that you can create a non-holiday card with this as well.
This set has a whopping 36 pieces in it.  If you missed out on it or are new to Art Impressions, here's your chance to get it!

The second is the 5924 Garden Arch Set.

Good luck to everyone!

I know two of you are going to be VERY happy in two weeks!

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

This year's set is called SSE22C - Fab-yule-ous Friends.

Smallest & Cutest! by Mercy Sauer

Hi Folks, Mercy here.  This month’s grand finale features the newly released Match Book Series Chapel set 5496.

This is my first time creating with the Matchbook series. I will admit, at first, I simply didn’t know what to think. Would I enjoy the process of creating a tiny, tiny scene? You all know I love “cute” and really, what is cuter than a miniature card with its own matching envelope?    

So, I stamped all the included elements, cut them out using the dies, and before assembling, I was hooked. Seriously, I got pretty excited I stopped a few times while creating the card to show my husband and my daughter. They both said the same thing, “oh, wow, that’s great, and so small”.  

Did I mentioned I was hooked? I created two cards! I could make a ton of these. It’s really fun. I am looking forward adapting critters and elements from other sets to create interesting, super cute, super different tiny cards.

Even though I haven't gifted a MB tiny card, I can’t way to do so and see the recipient's reaction.

If you are looking for something truly unique, fun and incredibly cute, check out the Match Book series. 

My first example features the new Chapel accessory set. It would be great for weddings, baptisms, communions. They would also make for great handmade party favors! 

Here's my second card! no one would ever be upset you forgot "something" if you give them this card...no way!

 

What do you think? I love them!  

Well, this was fun! please tag Art Impressions with your creations, I would love to see them. 

GOOD NEWS, bad news! by Mercy sauer

 Hello crafters, Mercy here! I have Good News and bad news! 

Good news first! this week I’m sharing an exclusive Ai set only available at simonsaysstamp.com 

What’s the bad news? you ask! It’s a limited set! Once it's sold out, it won't be restocked.  

So, let’s get started!

I created 3 cards; I knew the second I looked at the set this would be my first one, it's so sweet!

I envisioned a baby bird and a mamma bird flying towards each other for a little kiss.

Many times when I choose a stamp I love the smaller "extra" elements as much as the larger featured ones. The two birdies are a perfect example. I'm not shy with my stamps! I modify them to fit my needs, inspiration and creativity, as I did in this case.

I used a sliding mechanism for the birds to fly towards each. However, You do You. These two birds would be amazing in any setting or scene.

This card can be used for any occasion and given to anyone holding a special spot in your heart.

For my second card, I wanted a simple background that was playful and would complement the mamma bear comforting the baby bear...so sweet and cute!

I created a full sized see-through shaker window. I love to see the embellishments from the outside and the inside.

A few techniques on this one, it took me two tries, but the results are well worth the time! 

Finally, my third card. A simpler technical design with Big punch, warmth and charm. 

This is a very versatile set.  Bonnie's iconic style shines through making this set a must have.

Here's a picture of what it looks like...

(stamps and dies included)

Take care
