Bunny Puppet Easter Treat Bags from Art Impressions!

I just love this new Bunny Puppet set so much that I had to create 2 more Easter treat bags!

This time I did my favorite colors. Green and yellow. (with some teal mixed in!)



Last week I did pink and purple for two sweet girls that live up the road from me.



I have seen some questions wondering if the 5803 – Snowman Puppet Set is compatible with the 5869 – Easter Bunny Puppet Set.  For the most part, they are not.  That adorable little snowman is chubbier than the sweet bunny and therefore most of the stamps are not compatible. 




These sets look so cute colored with markers, watercolored or paper pieced with Art Impressions extensive Designer Paper collection.



Hippity Hoppity, Easter is on its way!!  Get your fun new Easter sets now so that you have time to create something for the special occasion. 



I popped the brim of his little hat up to give him a 3-D look.

Peeking Bunny Dome Shaker Card from Art Impressions

Hello everyone and welcome to week #2 of the Art Impressions Shake it Up! challenge.

I created a shaker card using the following sets.


I absolutely love shaker cards and the new Snow Globe Shaker Dome (5898) makes them SO easy!



The little domes are self-adhesive so that makes it easy for you.



They're also quite sturdy though I'd recommend mailing in a padded envelope or a box.
I also used my new FAVORITE thing!!



The little dome pops out to give your baubles and bits plenty of room to shake around.

Easter Bunny Puppet Treat Bags from Art Impressions

Hello and Happy Tuesday everyone!

I'm in full on Easter mode right now.

Did you see this adorable new release from Art Impressions?

It's called 5869 – Easter Bunny Puppet Set.



I fell in love with this set the second I saw it. We have two little girls that live up the road from us that call us their fake grandma and grandpa.  This is a little Easter treat that I put together for them.



This set comes with both the stamps AND dies and you can cut and use markers, colored pencils or watercolor to color them or you can also paper piece them as I've done with their clothing.



I love how versatile this set is. The bunny can be a girl or a boy and you can mix and match their clothing for different looks.  I'll be sharing the same gift bag with a different girl and a boy bunny soon.

Irish you a lucky day! from Art Impressions

 Hello everyone!

We're just 19 days away from St. Patrick's Day.
I was flipping through my book of stamps and came across this
little cutie and really wanted to use him.



All images and the sentiment are from 5006 – Sham-rock Set.  My husband and I aren't Irish (at least not that I know of) but I like to share a little Leprechaun love each St. Patrick's Day.

Mini Journal "Gift Box" and a tutorial for the Gift Card Pocket Bow from Art Impressions

 Happy Tuesday everyone!

Today I'm sharing a box that I made using the new 5805 – Mini Journal Box Dies.

The gingham paper is from 5741 – Valentines Paper Pack.






My friend's name starts with K so I used a die from 5562 – Journal Letter Die Set.



The little oval "tag" was made using the center of the oval frame in the Journal Template Die set.
I cut off the bottom to make it fit in the pocket.




I may just have happened to have some Reese's Thins laying around and discovered
that two of them fit perfectly into the little box as well.



Though I didn't use a bow on my box, I recently received a question about how to assemble
the bow from the new 5811 – Gift Card Pocket Dies.

Here's a quick picture tutorial showing how to put these adorable bows together.
I must say that I LOVE them!!

Step 1: Die cut the necessary pieces.
You'll need two of the one that looks like a fishing bobber.



Step 2: Put a dot of glue on the oval shapes and fold them over.
Don't crease them because you want them to be "fluffy."



Step 3: Glue them onto the long piece overlapping them a bit in the center.


Step 4: Place a dab of glue in the middle and add the little strip of paper to it as shown.


Step 5: Flip it over and fold down the top part of the strip and glue it down.



Step 6: Put another dab of glue down and fold up the bottom portion of the little strip.
Flip it over and you have a sweet, little bow. 



I hope you like my little gift box and that this bow tutorial will help if you weren't quite sure how to use it.  I can't wait to see your creations!
