Hats Off...You Nailed It! from Art Impressions

 Hello Ai fans!

I just love all of the masculine stamps that Ai offers and was so excited to see this 
5406 – Mr. Set from the Hats Off series.

I combined it with the brand new 5503 – Tool Bag and Die Set.

These two sets are so perfect together.  I placed the bag on two 5064 – Circle Double Stitched Dies.

You can arrange the tools in any way you like and pick and choose which ones 

you want to use.  They fit into little slits that are automatically cut when you

use the included dies.  The sentiment was stamped on 5132 – Tag Stitched Dies.

I cut a little slit in Mr's hand so that he could hold onto the hammer.  He makes me think

of those sit com dads that THINK they can do the repair job on their own...but maybe, not 

quite so much??! 😂💗

Love is in the Air from Art Impressions

 Hello Ai fans!

Love is in the air!

Today I have two Valentines for you.

I used the sweet 4753 – In the Air Set.
This set has 3 main skunk images, 3 verses and two cute accessory stamps.
It's SO CUTE!!

I wanted to add a little interest to the heart so I used a fine point marker and a gold paint pen to add some details to the outline.

I used one of the many verses and the balloon from another of the skunk images on the inside.

On my second card I used the 5064 – Circle Double Stitched Dies.
Who doesn't love skunks?? (unless of course you have a dog! lol!  been there...smelled that!)



This is such an adorable set!

On the inside I also used the 5063 – Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies.

Exclusive Cherry and Roses from Art Impressions

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing two cards with you.

For my first card I used 

Art Impressions - Clear Photopolymer Stamp Set - Roses

I stamped the roses several times, fussy cut them and popped them up on foam tape to add lots or dimension.  The butterfly is from 5200 – Butterfly Set.

The inner frame was cut using 5061 – Square Double Stitched Dies.

See all the fabulous layers?  This makes this card so interesting in person.

My second card also uses one of the exclusive floral sets.

This time I used Art Impressions - Clear Photopolymer Stamp Set - Cherry.

I stamped the verse on 5064 – Circle Double Stitched Dies.

A Pair of Birthday cards from Art Impressions

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing 2 birthday cards with you.

My first card has a boom box from 4999 – Perfect Duet Set.

The verse that I think pairs so well with it is from the new Laugh Lines Set called Rock On.

My second card was made using the from the Matchbook series.

I used the 5319 – MB Birthday Set as well as a couple of pieces from the 5097 – HM Birthday Set.

My friend was so excited when I gave this to her.  She couldn't believe how small and adorable it is!

You need a couple of starter sets when you begin getting hooked on the Matchbooks...and you will...lol.

The first is the 5317 – MB Template Dies. This set forms the room that you'll attach all the little pieces to.

There's an easel on the back to help it stand up.  Double sided papers are great for these sets because you will see the outside as well as the inside.

There's also a 5318 – MB Envelope Dies set to create the perfect little envelope for your room.

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a couple of  Art Impressions Funny Farm cards with you.

My first couple of cards were made using 5349 – Koalas Set.

The little heart and stars are from 5317 – MB Template Dies.

This was a thank you for some co-workers that did some nice things for me.

I just love that adorable smile on his face.  It's how they made me feel!
