Wishing You A Bright Sunny Day! | Art Impressions

Happy Monday friends!  Today I have another mini trifold card using the new Art Impressions Tropical Circlet MTF.  I love being at the beach and this sure makes me want to be there NOW!  Haha!

I used Neenah Desert Storm card stock for my card base.  I followed the directions on the back of the package for the size and where to score the card.  I added patterned paper layers (from my stash) to the card front and the middle layer.

Next I inked up the stamps in Copic safe ink and stamped them onto a piece of Neenah 80# card stock.  I was sure to space them out enough to have room to die cut them with a Circle Double Stitched die after I finished coloring them.  I also used a circle die to cut layers for them from Neenah Desert Storm card stock.  After I colored them, used a circle die to cut them out, and adhered them to the Desert Storm circles, I used the included dies to cut the openings in each one.  I also used the same dies to cut the openings in the top and middle card layers.

These tri-fold cards are just so fun as you open the card up!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I hope you have a wonderful and fun crafty week!

Happy Monday!  I'm over on the blog at Art Impressions today with a quick-to-make holiday card.  I've used one of the three images that is in the beautiful Christmas Scene TryFold set.  Each of these images can totally stand alone for a card.  I love being able to use one stamp set in several different ways!

I created my card base first because I wanted to make sure I got the openings and image lined up just right.  First I put a a piece of Neenah 80# into a snowflake embossing folder and ran it through my machine.  I trimmed it to 4" x 5-¼".

I used the middle sized Oval Double Stitched Die and die cut an opening in the embossed panel.  I lined up that die with the next largest and die cut a red frame and adhered it to the embossed panel.  I die cut an opening in the red card base with the larger die of the two.  (Doing this gave me a bit of a margin for error when lining up the layers and not having to worry that the ovals would be off.)

I stamped the image in Copic safe ink and colored it with the markers listed below.  

I added some sparkle to the snowy areas with a clear Wink of Stella pen.  Then I die cut it out with a Rectangle Double Stitched die and adhered it to the inside of my card base.  I added a snowflake to the outside that I had made a while back for a previous project.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I hope you all have a very happy and blessed Thanksgiving!

Happy Monday friends!  Guess what?  There is the 2019 Mega Sponsor Fall Blog Hop beginning today on the Art Impressions blog and my usual Monday blog post there is the featured project!  AND, there will be prizes, so be sure to go HERE for all the details and to begin the hop and leave comments THERE for your chance!

My card today uses the beautiful Gazebo TryFold set.  The images in this set are so pretty and just as timeless as when the set was first released!

This is so easy to create!  All the directions you need are on the back of the packaging.  The images were stamped onto Bristol Smooth cardstock with Versafine Onyx Black ink since I was planning on using my Zig watercolor markers. (If you aren't watercoloring, the pre-folded cards from the TryFold Cardstock & Envelope pack make this even easier!)  I've listed all my Zig colorns below.  Since there aren't a lot of instructions for me to give you, I have LOTS of photos!! 

I decided to use the beautiful Butterfly Clasp die on this to hold it closed for mailing. 

This is the view when the left panel is opened.

The right side is open, revealing the final image and sweet sentiment.






Here's a final look at the card after removing it from the envelope.

Don't forget to get on over to the Art Impressions blog to join in the hop!  As always, I do appreciate you stopping by for a look!  Have a great week!
