A Child's Card

Hi Everyone,
Today I have two posts for you, this one is for Art Impressions Weekly Challenge, and the other post is for the  Sparkle N Sprinkle Deco Divas - Love is in the Air Blog Hop. So please check out my other post, if you have time. There are prizes to be awarded on the Blog Hop.

The Art Impressions Weekly Challenge theme this week is: Card for a child/ children.I thought I would make a card for a toddler.

This little cutie is adorable. She is called Little Dress Up Girl. I used a few Copic's to color her, added a frame to the crown ovals and a little bling and some ribbon and the card is just about done. Next I attached some vine ribbon and some pretty little pink flowers and it's finished.

Supplies Used:
Art Impressions - Little Dress Up Girl  H940
Ink - India Ink Black
Copic Markers - RV14, RV21, RV06, RV13, G21, G00, Y000

Pure Delight

Hi Everyone,

I am so amazed its mid January already.It's really cold here in N.KY., and we've been spoiled by a warmer that usual winter, so far. I just received my new punches from Just Imagine Crafts/Kreaxions and I LOVE LOVE LOVE this punch I've used on this card today!! 

I've used punch 910 Vinca to make a border on the bottom of the card. And I love the way this punch seems to compliment the stamp I've used on this card.This stamp reminds me of summer, so I hope it will warm me up.

The bow was made using the E-Z BowZ Maker. Easy to use to make spectacular bows of various sizes.Try it and you will love it.

Envelope Art

Hi Everyone,
How about taking a short break from worrying about Christmas presents and decorating and all the other things that goes with this holiday season.

Art Impressions has stamps that can help you decorate the front of the envelope. Just think of everyone who would get to enjoy your art. The mail clerks and the mail man and of course the person who the envelope is addressed to.

Wouldn't you love to send this out, or better yet receive this?? I added a few dots to add additional interest to the envelope. Don't forget, don't use glitter. Jams up those electronic machines and is a no-no when sending mail to the service persons. But I have used the Spica glitter pens from Copic to add that sparkle we love to add to the images, with not a problem.(But I would not use the Spica pen on mail to a service person.)

The stamp set used on this envelope is from the Country EA2 set UM4061.
Click here to check out all the stamps in the Envelope Art series.There are quite a few and I am sure you'll find something that suits your needs.

Tomorrow, Art Impressions will be introducing the next weekly challenge, so try to stop in to see what the theme is.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Fun and Funky Fold

Hi Everyone,
It's time for the new weekly challenge over at Art Impressions. This weeks theme is Fun and Funky Folds. Once I decided on the fold the rest kind of fell into place. The card design is called a Double Display card. Here is a link for the cut and folds for this easy to do card.

This first picture shows the card closed. You may notice the paper clips I had to use to keep the card  closed as I photographed it.(See them just peeking out at the top of the card.)

Opened, this card makes quite a statement. 

The card, as I mentioned, is really easy but it doesn't appear to be. Give it a try!!

Supplies I used:

Spellbinders - Lace Doily Motifs  S5-063

Tim Holtz Alterations by Sizzix - Elegant Flourishes 656639

Art Impressions Stamp - Christmas Village Window  M3184

Copic Markers - E33, E43, BG01, Y1, B00, YG41, C-1

Happy Birthday

Hi Everyone,
Well today is Thursday and you know what that means?? It's the beginning of the Weekly Art Impressions Challenge . Each Thursday Art Impressions introduces a new challenge. The theme this week is A Card for a Young Boy. And as I tried to figure out what Art Impressions image I was going to use, I remembered that I had a carousel horse and all kids love to go to the amusement park to ride the rides. I used a Happy Birthday sentiment, and covered it with a semi-transparent glitter - Sparkling Snow. I thought this card would be too cute for a a young boy.
