New Art Impressions at Michaels

The Art Impressions Design Team are all sharing projects today, made with the two newest Ai stamp sets that are now available at Michaels through Hampton Art.  I'm showing this little penguin trio from SC0716 Ai Penguins:

 I've coloured them with my Copic Markers, popped them up on pop dots over some patterned paper and added a few enamel gumdrops.  It is actually gold foil tape that appears as the two horizontal stripes - they just don't photograph very shiny - here's another shot that shows it a bit better:

Here's a peek at what the sets look like:

We have a new challenge over on the Ai blog - we want to see your holiday creations using red & green.  Head on over to the blog to link up your creation, and you can see what the other Design Team members have created.

Happy Stamping!

Mini Reindeer

I am posting on the Art Impressions blog today!

I've had something similar to this card in mind for a while, but using the owl minis... (so stay tuned, you may see a non-holiday version of this in the future!).  But I loved the idea of using the Reindeer mini front & back stamps  (Sku #4507) for this one:

 This is a long & skinny card!  3" x 6";  I cut my opening, and added a green frame to it, then glued my five reindeer on either side, leaving Rudolph facing front.  I added some Wink of Stella to his nose & the bells on their collars, for a little glimmer.  I kept my design pretty simple, as I wanted all the focus on the reindeer.

 I added the "Jingle all the Way" sentiment from Jingle Set (Sku #4681) towards the bottom of the inside, so that it wouldn't show when the card was closed:

 Happy stamping!
