Warm and foxy

     Here's my last fall card to share.  This little fox is from the same Art Impressions set as the No-line hedgie I shared, Feast Mode.  Lots of adorable fall critters.  Doesn't he look so cozy.

     Enjoying a visit with my hubby's sister and her husband.  Hope you're having a great day too.

Thanksgiving circlet

     Alright folks, we're in the downhill stretch.  The rest of this year is going to fly by like a major league fastball.  I have a couple more fall cards to share and then I'm jumping into Christmas.  Yikes!  Have you started your shopping yet.  I actually have several thing bought already thankfully.

     OK, so this card was made using the new Thanksgiving Circlet set from Art Impressions.  

     These are mini tryfold sets but you can adapt them for use in so many ways.  I layered the first two images on the front of my card and added the base image on the inside.

     I'll be photographing several cards I've made tomorrow so I'll be sharing them soon and I have several on the work desk in progress.

     Have a fantastic weekend!

Branch-o-quail

     Don't know about you, but I can honestly say I've never seen another quail stamp set.  LOL  Art Impressions has solved that problem with their Hoppy Bird Set.

Pumpkin mice

     Art Impressions has come out with several flip style card sets.  They even offer the die to make cutting super simple.  The die is for a full size A2 card though and I wanted to make my flipper small enough to fit on the front of my card so I had to cut it by hand.  Ohhhh the die would have been so much easier.  LOL  For some reason my brain just would not get it together and it took me several tries to get it right.  It's really not that hard but I sure made it that way. LOL

     Anyway, I've used the brand new Pumpkin Mice Flip Card set.  AI let's their retailers sell their stamps first so look for them at your favorite online shop like Simon Says Stamp.

     Here's a look with the panel flipped up.  I added a few punched bats.

     And a couple of close ups of the front and inside images.

Art Impression on HSN!

     Surprise!  LOL  Yes, I'm still out here.  My life is so full right now that my card hobby has taken a serious hit.  I do miss you all and apologize for not visiting.
     I do have something VERY special to share with you today though.  I've been a designer for Art Impressions for several years now and I know that some of you are BIG fans.  Well today is a really cool day for them because they are going to be featured on HSN (Home Shopping Network)!  That's pretty awesome.  Here are the details:

WE ARE HERE AT HSN! Do you have your alarm set? DVR scheduled? Bonnie airs TOMORROW, JUNE 11! Watch us during Craft Essentials at 11 AM Eastern Time (8 AM Pacific) and Create It Yourself at 7 PM Eastern Time (4 PM Pacific). Join us! It's fun here!

     Pretty special for them AND me cause they asked me to make some sample cards for the show.  FUN!!!  You just might see some or all of the cards in this post on the show.  Sorry I didn't take better pics.  I took some shots to send in to them and forgot to get detailed shots too.  The first card has the cutest pair of pink rain boots with white polka dots behind the front door.  LOL

     Tune in to HSN for some fun!  Hope to be back in the crafty world soon.  I'm in full vacation Bible school director mode right now.  Starts next week and still LOTS to do.

     Sending my love to you all,

Tracy
