Pumpkin Queens!

Image
Hey everyone!! I have an exciting post to share! Today is the release of Art Impressions collaboration with Simon Says Stamp! I absolutely LOVE this stamp and die set! I have been dying to share this with you all.  This set will be available while supplies last, so don't wait on this one!! I will have 2 more projects to share in the coming days.  For this card, I made it into a 6x6 size so that I could also make a pumpkin patch background. I did this by using dies and stencils from Honeybee Stamps. The set from Honeybee is called Farmhouse Fields.  I colored up the pumpkin queens with my Copic markers. This card honestly made me SO ready for fall. I then added some Altenew enamel dots. That is it!    Materials Used Inks Pink Fresh Ink Pads in Gathered Twigs, Olive, Misty Coast, Sweet Mustard, Lush Forest, Bay Leaf, Candy Apple, Spanish Moss and Persimmon.  Copic Markers E37, E08, E35, R59, YG97, R56, YG95, E53, E55, N5, E51, YR15, YG99, G29, YR23, E000, B99...

The Headless Horseman!!

When I saw this set from Whimsy Stamps, I HAD to have it. I love stuff like this. So cute!! This is a new release from Whimsy. I have so much of their stuff and I swear I collect it. lol. For this card, I just used their die cuts. I cut all of the pieces out in the colors I wanted, then added some white ink to each piece to make it look foggy. The background is colored with stargazer ink by Pink Fresh and I blend white over the middle behind the horseman for a glowing effect. I hope you like it!  

Halloween Farm Scene

Image
Good morning, everyone! Today I am sharing a card using the newly released Country Side Series stamps from Art Impressions! This particular scarecrow stamp is made into a fall theme, but I changed it up and added some bats, spiders and added faces to the pumpkins for a fun Halloween card. This card was made using craft paper and colored pencils. I use both Faber Castell Polychromos Colored Pencils and Prismacolor colored pencils. You do not need both. I just have had a set of each for YEARS so I use them both together. I blend the colors with Gamsol (odorless mineral spirits, also known as OMS) and paper blending stumps.   I first stamped my two images onto the craft cardstock. Then I made masks for the barn and the top of the scarecrow fence scene out of some paper. I also secured a Tim Holtz moon mask, and then I ink blended some dark blue and dark grey ink around the edges of my paper. This created a nice and dark sky for a spooky nighttime scene. I went ahead and blended s...

Tomato To-Mah-To

Today's card is a fun Sardine with Tomatoes design. I never even knew there was such a thing. I bet this is some peoples worst nightmare for food! lol. I like tomatoes but I will pass on the sardines. The sets from The Greetery are adorable though. These came from a recent release of theirs.

Happy Tuesday! Today I have a card using Unity Stamp Co stamps. Another from the vintage/retro stamps that they carry. These are so fun to color and make quick cards. The paper is from another of their fabulous paper packs. The image was colored with Copic Markers.   

Mummy Halloween

Image
​Hey there! Here is another card using The Unity Stamp Co stamps. This time it is the mummy! I used some gauze to intertwine around the border die to add some texture to this card. I love how it looks. I also added some fun green enamel dots that I really like with this card and color scheme. I love the sentiment for this one. So fun and cute. The border is by Whimsy Stamp Co. 

Shine Your Light

Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing well! For today's project, I am sharing a card I made using the light house stamp from the Light of the World set (Set 6126) from Art Impressions. This one was a really fun one to color.  I used Copic markers for the coloring on my project. I started by coloring the lighthouse. I used the straight edge of a credit card to carefully draw the lines with light pencil to get the stripes onto my lighthouse. I have always loved red in lighthouses so I knew that would be a color I would go with. I blended 3 different reds and grey to create the colors on the stripes, leaving the middle more light in color to create a bit of a rounded effect.  Next, I colored the cliff, rocks and tree using may brown and grey colors, as well as a few different greens on the tree. I then added my water in.... using back and forth strokes. At first, it looks a bit sloppy but as you keep adding your layers of colors, it blends quite nicely.  I then added the ...

Hello! Today I am sharing a card made with Unity Stamp Co stamps. I do love these retro stamps that they make. They make a card go together quickly and look really cute.  I used paper from a paper collection that they have to match these stamps. The image was colored with Copic markers. I also added some enamel dots for some dimension. Super simple and fun!

Good morning! I hope you have a great day today. Today I am sharing a card I made with a recent release from The Greetery. This is one of my favorite releases ever by this company. For this card, I used dies, stamps, and embossing folder and stencils. The coloring was done with Pink Fresh Inks. I love the texture the embossing folders create.  A closer look at the embossing and texture on this card. Hope you enjoy it! Have a great day!  

Spooky Skeleton

Hey, everyone! ​Today I have a fun skeleton card using Unity stamps. I love these cute little peeking characters! They are so cute and make such cute cards. This time of year is my favorite. I love fall so much. Summer is just too hot for this girl so as soon as the temps start to drop, I am one happy girl.  I colored the main image with Copic markers. This was a really quick project. The die I used to frame the image is from Whimsy Stamps. I think it went with this project.  Then, I added some sequins and a ribbon for a little pizazz. Super simple but I love how it turned out.  I hope you all have a great day! 

Dance Like No One Is Watching!

 Good morning, friends!! I am so excited to be a part of the Ai team! Today is my first post as a Design Team member for them! I have been a fan of Art Impressions products for over 20 years! They have been one of my favorite stamping companies since I started card making. I absolutely love how unique their products are and I love seeing all of the gorgeous products you all create with Ai stamps. So today, I am sharing a card that I made using these two adorable seniors! I have wanted to put something together with these two for quite a while.  First, I stamped the 2 seniors onto my card stock using Momento ink. I made a mask by stamping the images again on regular printer paper (to lay over the original images) and I cut the masks out. I then carefully lined up the masks on top of the original stamped images and stamped a background stamp from Purple Onion Designs over the images. Then, I removed the masks and voila! You have the couple dancing inside a cute little room! I wa...
