Welcome everyone, It’s Shari here! I have another edition of our Funny Friday series with Art Impressions that I hope will tickle your funny bone.

Today I’m totally inspired by Jennifer McGuire with her swing style cards. I’ve used the Art Impressions Christmas Slimline stamp set with this adorable snowman. He fits perfectly onto a tag so having a hidden message under him is perfect since it isn’t a folding card.

I kept my coloring simple by using my watercolor set and used a small brush to get into the little tiny areas of the image. Be sure to check out the video below to see how this all comes together.

Hello! Thanks for joining me today as I share a colorful holiday card using the Heart of Christmas products.  I love that there is a stamp, die and stencil that coordinate, but can all be used on their own!  Because I wanted a row of them on my card, today’s card is a 5” x 7” card.

I have a quick video sharing my progress and hope you’ll check it out!

I used the Heart of Christmas stamp to stamp a light image to use as a guide for the Heart of Christmas stencil using Barely Beige ink.  You could just eyeball the stencil, but since I wanted to use the Outline Heart of Christmas die, it’s important that the ink-blended hearts are in the right place.

If you didn’t have the stencil and only had the dies, you could certainly color the parts and in-lay them just as easily for the same look, but I just love stencils! Plus, it gives me the bonus of being able to use the Pawsitively Saturated Inks.  I ink-blended my hearts with Limelicious, Cheeky and Blush inks.  For the stars, I used Lemonade. Then for tree trunks, I used Khaki ink.

To ground my colorful trees, I used paper strips that I die-cut using the smallest of the Strips Die 1 set from Green Apple, Green Leaf, Cotton Candy, and Doll Pink cardstock.  I placed my Outline Heart of Christmas die-cuts over the paper strips and finished by adhering a sentiment strip from the Reverse Love Peace Joy Sentiment Strips.

I hope you enjoyed this project!  Thanks so much for visiting today!  ~Caly
