Punkin Pie Set ~ Art Impressions

Wednesday and that means it is my day over on the Art Impressions blog.

I am sharing a little Halloween treat container that I created using The Punkin' Pie Set that was just released.

I hope you will stop over and check out my post and get the details on this little treat holder.

have a Holly Jolly

I am having a lazy Sunday afternoon and decided to make a few holiday cards. I am so far behind compared to previous years.

I used a stamp set that I picked up from Taylored Expressions a couple months ago along with some holiday papers from last years stash.

I am loving the large sentiment on this card. Quick and easy. Just a little bit of coloring with my Copic markers and some glossy accents on the berries and it was done.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today it really means a lot to me.

Don't Sweat it!

Today I am sharing a card  along with the rest of the Art Impressions design team using one of the new Ai People images just released today.

This image is also perfect for our current challenge "Humourous/Punny" cards.

For my card I used Ai People Don't Sweat It! Sku#4528.

(Copics used: E000, E00, E11, R20, E18,E23, E25, 

R81, RV21, RV25, N1)

She was fun to color and then I applied my favorite technique which is paper piecing to complete her shirt, pants, wrist and headbands.

I am guessing if I were a runner I would probably look like this only a little more rounder around the edges.

Make sure you stop over at the Art Impressions blog and check out which new images the rest of the design team used today.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today it really means a lot to me. 

Supplies used:

Stamps: Don't Sweat It (Art Impressions)

Paper: Solar White (Neenah), Creative Agenda (Echo Park)

Ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento), Copic Markers

Misc.: Enamel Dots (My Minds Eye), Foam tape, Stitched Circles (MFT)

Santa Note~Ables by Art Impressions

Today the Art Impressions design team is sharing cards using the new Note-Ables collection.

These new Note-Ables are perfect for our current "Fancy Folds" Challenge.

I used the Santa Note-Able (Sku#4512) for my card. The great thing about this new series is that you get 3 stamps to create the card.

The first stamp I used  is the Santa head that you stamp at the top of your card and then you cut out around the snowman leaving the bottom of the mittens and the beard attached to the card. (Do Not Cut out) 

Once you have that cut out then take an exacto knife and cut out just under the mittens so you create a little notch for the bottom of the card to fold up into.

When you open up the finished card you see that I have stamped the greeting at the top and then I stamped the candy canes onto a piece of scrap white card stock and colored it with red and grey copic markers. I then fussy cut it out and attached it to the bottom of the card using foam tape. Then I applied glossy accents to give it a little bit of shine.

Here is a video by Kate showing you step by step instructions on using the Note-Ables in case you are a visual person like me.

Thanks for stopping by my blog and as always your comments are welcome and appreciated.

Christmas to All ~ Ai Holiday Sparkle Challenge

Welcome to the Ai Holiday Blog Hop - Featuring NEW Christmas 2014 and Ai Shakers.

You should have arrived at my blog from Kerry's.

For my card I am featuring the new image Christmas to All Set (SKU4517).

(copics used: YG05, YG17, YG23, BG00, YR04, YR07, Y15, Y19, Y35, E15, E25,

RV21, RV23, RV25, BG02, BG15, BG53, T0, R24)

I love snowmen just about as much as I love roosters so that is saying a lot. And this snowman is just adorable. Who can resist a tall man with a snazzy jacket and scarf?

I added some glossy accents to the holly berries and some Ranger Rock Candy Stickles to the stars, hat and snow to give it a little "Holiday Sparkle"!
