Brand New Peeking Bunny set from Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans!


Can you believe it's almost the first day of Spring and Easter is right around the corner?!  I'm soooo excited for spring! For my card today, I used the brand new 5870 Peeking Bunny Set along with 5892 Easter S2 pattern paper pack. The images are stamped with Memento ink onto cryogen white paper and then colored with Copic markers which are listed below.  I love that amazing frame which is in 5588 Journal Oval Frames Set. The scalloped edges were created using 5543 Journal Template Die Set. 



Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit today and until next time - stay crafty!

New Art Impressions Color challenge with Ta Da Diorama Easter card

 Hello AI Fans!


I'm excited to kick off the new challenge for Art Impressions this week and it's a color challenge!! We are asking you to use the colors of navy, green, and yellow. This was a super fun challenge and I definitely took inspiration from the gorgeous photos supplied to us by AI!! Easter is right around the corner, so I made a fun card utilizing the Lawn Fawn Ta Da Diorama die set to feature several Art Impressions sets. This is so awesome because it folds completely flat for mailing, but when unfolded, it is a wonderfully dimensional diorama! Here is the finished card folded flat. 



And here it is when you pull out the flaps. 





I cut all the pieces out to assemble the card, stamped all my images and colored them to match the papers. 


These adorable images are from 5346 Birdhouse Cubbies Set, 5504 Happy Spring Set, and 5274 Easter Bunnies Set. There are links to each of them below. 


This is the card put together before adding all the adorable images. 


I used the Nested Heart Die Set and stamped a fun sentiment on it from the new 5867 Mini Easter Sentiment Set.  I then cut it in half and glued them to the front of the card. I had so much fun building the scene with all the cute bunnies and chick! And of course I had to add a cute little bird in the sky! 


And once again, the final product. I chose to mount the diorama onto a standard A2 card using a navy and green mat to pull out the challenge colors. The navy looks black in the pictures, but it's a true navy color. 







Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit today! I can't wait to see what you create for the new color challenge!

If you loved the Snowman Puppet Set, you're going to be over the moon for the Bunny set too!

And these Puppet Sets brings that joy right back to me now!! My card fits the current AI challenge to SHAKE IT UP cause I put this adorable bunny on a Wobble. I stamped her onto Cryogen White paper and colored her up with Copic markers which are listed below.

Hopping By to say Hi! featuring Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans!!


I've got a card today that actually fits TWO of the challenges going on right now! First we have our February month long challenge featuring guest Designer Diane Zechman! For that challenge, you just have to make a project with any animal.  Along with that, we also have our Bi-weekly challenge You Spin Me Round challenge where you need to feature anything circular on your card. I went with a round card.  If you enter either challenge, you have a chance to win a free stamp set of your choice. How awesome is that??!! For my card, I used #5726 Nested Circle Dies and layered it onto a scalloped circle die I have in my stash. I also used #5274 Easter Bunnies Set. Those cute bunnies are stamped with Memento ink and colored with Copic markers. 





That's it for me today! Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit and until next time - stay crafty!

Mini Journal made using Art Impressions Sets

 Hello AI Fans!! 

Today I'm sure excited to show you another Mini Journal I made using new sets released this year by Art Impressions.  I can't even begin to tell you how much I love making these Mini Journals! They are so much fun!!! I honestly can't stop making them! I must say I was so excited when Art Impressions released new sets that are made to coordinate with the Mini Journals!! The box is SOOOOO CUTE and easy to make and decorate!! The journals fit in them perfectly! I will say you don't want to use a lot of dimensionals, or you'll end up having to use a belly band around the box. LOL! I learned that the hard way. haha  I forgot to mention that I used Art Impressions Paper. I love the colors and patterns! We will start with a video I made of the Mini Journal, and individual pictures will follow. There's a long list of sets I used, and you can find them all below in the Link Deli list.  I really hope you enjoy!!! 


And here are some individual pictures. 











That's it for me today! Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit and until next time - stay crafty!!
