Art Impressions Snow Friend

Art Impressions Snow Friend

Hello, my crafty friends!  My card share is in response to a Splitcoaststampers Free For All Challenge to create a border by masking the edges on a card.  I used the Art Impressions Snow Friend stamp set for my card.  I masked the main panel on this card with masking tape and colored around the edges with a B000 Copic marker to create a border.


Zephaniah 3:17

“The LORD your God is with you,  he is mighty to save.  He will take great delight in you, he will quite you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.”

How to Assemble Art Impressions Santa Flutter Set

How to Assemble Art Impressions Santa Flutter Set

Have you purchased any of the new Art Impressions Flutter Stamp and Die sets?  They can be difficult to assemble.  I think that the Art Impressions Santa Flutter Set recently released is more difficult than the ones I used from the Art Impressions spring 2018 release.  I struggled with the Santa Flutter and decided to provide a tutorial on how to assemble the Art Impressions Santa Flutter Set.

I submitted this card today for a color challenge on Splitcoaststampers.


Matthew 7:1-5

Jesus said, “Do not judge, or you too will be judged.  For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.  Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?  How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?  You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”

Art Impressions Elephant Twist Ties

Art Impressions Elephant Twist Ties

Most children enjoy going to the zoo to see all the wonderful animals from the wild.  When my children were young, they got excited when good weather arrived as they knew a trip to the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. would soon be on the schedule.  To that end, I created a zoo animal card using the new Art Impressions Elephant Twist Ties Stamp and Dies set.  The little elephants are so cute with their trunks twisted together.


Freedom From Human Regulations Through Life With Christ

Colossians 2:6

“So then just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.”

Art Impressions Sheep Flutter Set

Art Impressions Sheep Flutter Set

Having lived on a farm as a young tot, I recall when many animals had their babies such as lambs, calves, chicks, colts, and piglets.  Some newborn sheep start jumping around shortly after birth.  That is reflected on my card that features the new Art Impressions Sheep Flutter Set, a jumping ewe sheep.  This little ewe is so cute and very happy.  Her legs jump up and down when you pull the tab as she tells you she loves you to the moon!


Colossians 3:12-14

“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.  Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another.  Forgive as the Lord forgave you.  And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.”

Art Impressions Dogs, Flowers, and Rustic Container

Art Impressions Dogs, Flowers, and Rustic Container

Hello, and welcome!  So happy that you stopped by.  Today I am sharing a card made with Art Impressions Dogs, Flowers, and Rustic Container stamps.  I love this time of the year when I can fill rustic or wooden containers with soil and flowers.  I actually have two 5′ long palm tree log containers that I cut out the centers so I could plant flowers in them during springtime.  Thinking that I need to fulfill that task brought to mind the subjects for my card –  flowers and a puppy in a rustic container.  Water coloring is not a skill of mine; however, I decided to give it a try.


1 Corinthians 3:11-15

“For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.  If any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light.  It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man’s work.  If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward.  If it is burned up, he will suffer loss (of a reward; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames.”

AI WC Dogs Set

AI WC Dogs Set

Did you have a good weekend?  I hope so.  Have you seen the new 2018 release from Art Impressions?  Art Impressions (AI) released multiple watercolor sets like the AI WC Dogs Set.  The little doggies are so cute.  I used the set along with some AI floral and bench sets to stamp and watercolor the image on this card.


Titus 2:11-14

“For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men.  It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age while we wait for the blessed hope — the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.”
