It's Wednesday and my day over on the Art Impressions blog.

Feeling Frosty

Time for a new challenge over on the Art Impressions blog today! "Feeling Frosty"  so we 

want to see snowflakes, flocking and/or chunky embossing on your cards.

You know when you visualize a card and somehow when it is finished it isnt what you imagined?

Meet today's card. I used the Caroling Polars (Sku#4080) that I fussy cut out and popped up with foam tape on top of my shaker window.

For some reason when I was creating my card I thought the snowflakes and sequins on top of the snowflake background would show a little more and allow the the stuff inside my shaker card to "POP" a little more.

Oh well you get the general idea of what I was trying to achieve.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy stamping!

Polar Phil ~ Art Impressions

Stop by and take a look.

Poppystamps Challenge #3 ~ Sparkle & Shine

I am so excited today since it is the first of the month it is time for a new challenge over on the Poppystamps blog.

Our challenge runs for a full month and this month we want to see Sparkle & Shine on your cards.

Here is my card. Hope it Sparkles and Shines enough for the challenge.

For my card I used the Mod Snowflake Background die and embossed it into my card front. Next I die cut the Blooming Poinsettia and Vintage happy Holidays using some gold glittery foam. The picture doesn't do the glitter justice as this card really is super shiny.

Now head over to the Poppystamps blog and check out what the rest of the design team created for this challenge.

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

I couldn't sleep this morning so what else do you do at 3 am when everyone else is sound asleep?

I usually catch up on a television show on Hulu and make cards.

Meet Polar Phil!

I made two cards this morning and will share the other one with you later this month.

We got our first snowfall here in Minneapolis yesterday and today. I have a love/hate relationship with it. 

I agree it is pretty but you get over that in about a minute.

Thanks for stopping by and I will be back tomorrow with my regular scheduled Art Impressions blog post.

Bananas Over You ~ Ai Zoo Babies Blog Hop

The Art Impressions design team is having a blog hop today to introduce some new Zoo Babies images.

If you are following along in hop order you should have arrived here from Sharon's blog. 

I was so excited to see that I got the Bananas Set Sku#4531 to play with.

.

(Copic used: E41, E42, R20, R30, E35, E55, E57, N0)

As soon as I saw this cute little guy I knew that I was going to create a shaker card. I used a chipboard frame and put vellum on it and then added some sequins from my stash. I stamped the sentiment right on the frame.

I am the last stop on today's blog hop so if you didn't start at the beginning or if you think you have missed anyone please start off here at the Art Impressions blog.

Sing Dance Laugh Love ~ Art Impressions

It is my day over on the Art Impressions blog and today I am sharing a simple card where the sentiment is the star of the show!

You can get all the details on my card here.

Hope to see you over there.

Merry Christmas ~ OCC Day 1

I am taking the Online Holiday Card Class and finally got my card done for day one.

. 

I went ahead and created a card like Debbie showed us and it was using die cuts and the gold dipping that is so popular on Pinterest right now. We didn't actually dip the end of the tag, but it has the effect of it.

The class is also about creating multiples of one card.  I cut out enough pieces for 4 cards but so far this is the only one that is complete. Maybe tomorrow I will get to the rest of them.

Today's class was interactive cards so hoping to get a shaker card done in the next few days.

Are you taking the class? If so what was your favorite style from Day One?

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

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.
