Seas the Day! Card by Tasha

 Happy Friday, Art Impressions friends!

Tasha here, sharing a cheerful Summer card featuring the adorable 5399-Gull-Friends Set.

I just love these playful gulls and all their fun beachy accessories; they’re so much fun to create with! For this card, I stamped the main image and used the included dies to cut it out (coordinating dies = game changer!).

To build my little seaside scene, I layered paper to look like sand, water, and sky, then used the 5063-Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies to cut the center panel. For a splash of sparkle and color, I added layers of silver glitter, teal, and gray cardstock, plus a touch of Art Impressions plaid pattern paper.

To finish it off, I stamped the sentiment "Seas the Day" which is perfect for a Summer card!

Thank you for checking out today's card and I hope you are having a wonderful day!

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!

Summer Themed Cards by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing two cards created for the Ai Summer Fun Challenge! 

My first card uses the 3577-Girlfriends Set and these friends are having a great time at the beach!

For the background, I used a cloud stencil to create the sky and Distress Oxide Ink and Copic Markers for the sand. The sentiment is included in the set and it's perfect for a birthday card! 

To complete this card, I added a layer of card stock and pretty tropical pattern paper to go with the beach scene.

The second card was created with  the cute 5473-Seagull Set, 5136-WC Sentiment Set 2, and the Norm Stamp (currently retired). I love all my Ai sets and enjoy mixing older stamps with new sets!

I hope you enjoyed today's projects and will participate in the Summer Fun Challenge!

Have a great weekend!

Just Cruisin' Cards by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing two cards featuring the 5455-Birthday Buggy Set! The Ai Rides collection of stamp sets are so fun to color and there are several accessory sets that coordinate with the cars! 

My first card is a beach scene created with the 5509 – Beach Accessories. These beach items are so cute and there are so many stamps to mix and match to personalize your project. I love the sun hat and tote bag!

The second card features the buggy with the 5510 – Sport Accessories Set. The bright green car and all the colorful sports gear is perfect for a birthday or a card for a coach. I like that this set includes the sport equipment and extra accessories like the cooler and hat, so you can select the right items to fit your design. 

For extra color, I added bright yellow stars to the background and a glitter layer for sparkle. I love how bright and cheerful this card is and think this set is great for year-round projects!

Thank you for checking out today's cards and I hope you are having a great day!

Loungers by Reneé Matarese

 Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a fun card made with the 4473 – Loungers Set found over at Art Impressions.

(and yep...I realize I missed two of their lips.  I colored them before I sent the card.)

These beachy sunny days are just about upon us in the northeastern U.S.  Not long before we'll be opening our pools.

Here's the inside. "At our age we can be anything we choose to be...we choose fabulous!"
