Hi Friend! from Art Impressions

 Hello Ai fans!

I love mushrooms and instantly thought of the Mushroom Cubbies set for the Art Impressions "When One Door Closes" challenge.

I grabbed mushrooms and other elements from a few different Ai sets to complete both the front and inside of my card.

I know most people think of brown when they think of mushrooms but they come in MANY different colors and I love trying out different combinations. In my woods we have orange, white, black, red, yellow, and purple. Probably more if I looked hard enough. We've picked and eaten the Chanterelles and Black Trumpet mushrooms.

 I wanted to make this card extra special so I decorated
the inside of the card pretty elaborately too.

I'm kind of wishing now that I had a little fairy tucked in there somewhere too.
Next time, I guess...

Santa Puppets from Art Impressions

 Hello Ai fans!

I just absolutely LOVE the entire Art Impressions Puppet Series!

 I made my two puppet cards for the current Stitches & Scallops challenge.

My stitched rectangle and little zig zag stitches make my card qualify for the challenge.

My little sack is actually the Santa head.

It doubles nicely as a perfect little bag for all the toys.

I wanted to make my first Santa a more "fun" Santa and this one is a more traditional St. Nick.
I used two little Diamond Dots for his eyes.

You still have about a day and a half left to enter the challenge. If you can't make that deadline, be sure to check in on the blog after noon EST for the new challenge.

Here's Tool You! Happy Father's Day from Art Impressions

 Hello Ai fans!

Father's Day is almost here and if you're looking for a little last minute
inspiration then look no further.

I created a fun masculine card that came together really quickly due to the
coordinating dies.  Who has time for fussy cutting?

All products will be linked below.



My step-dad and my father-in-law are both getting the same card. 

Sorry guys...I'm SO BUSY right now.

My card is for the current Panda-Monium challenge going on right now.

Use pandas or make a black and white card.

The tool bag die also cuts little slits for you to insert all of the fun tools

wherever you want them.

To all the dads, fur-baby dads, grandpas, uncles, moms and grandmas and aunts who are also "dad"...have a wonderful day this Sunday!
