All A-Buzz

 Happy Sunday!

This weekend I worked on the current Art Impressions Blog Challenge All A-Buzz.  For this project I decided to make a tag with a twist.  

I used #5728 - Mushroom Cubbies Stamp set for the images, #5132 - Tag Stitched Dies for the base tag and smaller tags. The fence cut in the middle of the tag is from #5719 - FB Fence Window Set Die.  Flowers are fussy cut from the Mushroom Cubbies set.  The bee “flying”in the middle is the front and back of bee from the same set with a string glued in-between to have it suspended in the air.

If you enter the challenge you have the potential of winning a free stamp set of your choice!  The challenges push me to try different things and is a lot of fun. You should give it a try. 

Hope you like my project and I appreciate you stopping by for a visit!

Magical Creatures!

 Happy Monday! 

Magical Creatures is the theme for this Art Impressions Bi-Weekly Challenge.  AI has created some of the cutest little fairy stamp sets and I selected one of the older ones to use.  For this challenge I kept it simple and only used one stamp/die set, which is extremely hard for me to do, but this set has a lot of options to work with.

I started on my magical journey using  #5345 - Fairy Cubbies Set.  I really love the Cubbies Sets because the die cuts out the open areas for you.  On this card I didn’t want the treehouse cut out so I used my craft knife to cut out the windows keeping the treehouse intact.  

Behind the windows I put very pale yellow glitter cardstock and had a fairy flying out of the door, one poking her head out of the top window and one sitting inside int downstairs window.  Using my Copics I did all the coloring  and finished it with some pastel glitter cardstock.  

I am finding I don’t photograph glitter very well.  I guess I must keep practicing and would love anyone’s suggestions if you have some.

Thank you for stopping by and hope you have a very crafty week!

Age Gets Better With Wine

Happy 4th of July!   I hope everyone has been enjoying the day.  I have spent the day being crafty.  

Over at the Art Impressions Blog it is Renee’s 13th Anniversary and she is having an Anniversary Giveway. For this card I created an easy card using one of my favorite Girlfriend stamp sets.

I used Art Impressions -Girlfriends  #4383 - Wine Tasters Set and some Spellbinders retired bits and pieces to accent the wine aspect of the card. I also used Art Impressions #5062 - Rounded Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies.  All coloring was done with Copic markers.  

If you have time you should stop by the Art Impressions blog and join Renee’s giveaway.  All of there contests are a lot of fun.   

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by!  Hope you have a great rest of your week.
