Happy Saturday!

Wow it's Saturday again and that means it's my turn to post a card! Today I decided to use the Art Impressions Girlfriends 2015 Bench set. I love this image and every time I see it it screams Christmas to me. 

I decided to use designer papers from the Lawn Fawn Snow Day collection that I had in my stash from last year. I love the colour combination of the minty green and red in this 6x6 paper pad. I fussy cut the image out and added it to my card with foam squares for some dimension. This time I used Crystal Stickles to add my bling! I love all things that glitter, maybe I was a glitter fairy in a former life LOL!

 On the inside I layered a sentiment that I cut out from the paper pad. 

 Copics used:

Skin: E00, E11

Hair: E43, E44, E47, E49

Reds: R24, R27, R29

Time To Celebrate!

Hi Everyone!

It's Saturday so that means you get to see what I have created for this week's blog post! This week I am using the Art Impressions new Girlfriend Cheer Set! I am in love with all the Girlfriends from Ai. They always make me giggle and put a smile on my face!

For this card I paper pieced all the girl's tops with paper from the Echo Park Bundle Of Joy- New Addition 6x6 designer paper pad. I used my concave corner punch on my stamped image and layered cardstock. I also inked the edges of all the papers with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Victorian Velvet. I love this technique as it helps to make your paper pop! On the pom poms I added Crystal Stickles for some added interest.

I always like to add some sort of die cuts as well as a sentiment on the inside of my cards. It just makes me feel like the project is complete! This Cheer set comes with 3 sentiments and I used them all on this project.

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E02, R20, RV17

Hair: Y21, YR23, E15 / E23, E25, E29 / T0, T1, T3, T5

Calling all Quilters!

Hello everyone!  I'm using a great new stamp set from Art Impressions today, that will appeal to quilters, seamstresses or even just fans of the Girlfriends line by Ai - it's called Quilt Set:

I picked this background paper that has a bit of a quilted feel to it, and did some bright red zigzag stitching on the edges, leaving the ends of the thread loose.  There is a third sentiment in the set, which I also love: "May Your Bobbin Never be Empty" - and here's the one I chose for the inside:

Art Impressions Girlfriends

Hello everyone!  I'm sneaking in a bonus post this month... to share a couple of cards made with one of the sets from the popular Art Impressions Girlfriends line: Laughing Set:

I wanted to keep them fairly flat for mailing, and also wanted to use up some scraps!  I had already coloured up the images to match this paper pack, and here's what I had sitting on my craft desk, leftover from previous projects:

Bits and pieces!  I was determined not to cut into any new sheets, so here's what I came up with:

Pedal Pushers Set

Hello everyone!  I am a big fan of the Art Impressions Girlfriends stamps... so I'm sharing a card made with Pedal Pushers today.  I went with some pretty, girly colours:

This is a large image!  So I made a large card: 5" x 6 1/2".  I popped up my image on pop dots so that I could tie twine behind it, and set it on an angle to show off the little piece of grey paper behind them that I zigzagged in a couple of places.
