Mini Magnets

 Art Impressions challenge this week is Tiny Treasures.  I used the AI Castle Cubbies for this challenge, which includes a castle, a knight, a damsel, two unicorns and three dragons.  I thought this would make a cute little refrigerator magnet for the little ones to play with.  You know how your grandkids always play with the magnets on the fridge, well here's one for their tiny little fingers.  I made these with magnetic tape and they die cut nicely with the dies that are included with this set.  I cut one and then turned the magnetic tape upside down and cut another one.  Peeled the tape off the backs and stuck them together so that both sides were magnetic.  I used double sided tape to adhere the colored image and, tada, you have a cute little magnet.  Did the same with the castle and popped out the windows and doors.  Each piece is magnetic and movable so the little ones can rearrange and play all day (well, until their attention span wears out 😂)

This would be cute to make with the other cubbies sets.  Can you imagine the little bus or the barn with the animals?  Very fun and easy to do thanks to the dies included with these stamp sets.  One word of warning, these magnets are tiny so beware of your youngest little ones getting ahold of them.  

Have a great day and stay crafty!!

Scenic Route

 Today's post is a card I made for my daughter using Art Impressions stamp sets Enjoy the Ride and Cottage and Die set (unfortunately, this last one is retired).  She just bought a house and we joke with her that we are going to ride our bikes over to visit (often 😂).  I always wanted a tandem bike, but my husband thought I wouldn't peddle, so this image is absolutely perfect.  😁

The Art Impressions challenge this week is "Scenic Route".  I made this a fold-out card so that you could see the whole scene when opened up.  I based the card around the bike image, which I colored with copic markers, and thought it would make for a great "scene" card for the challenge.  I paper pieced the cottage which was very simple to do since Art Impressions makes their images so easy to fussy cut.  I added a few trees, clouds, grass and road to carry out the scene.

Hope you like my card and it inspires you to have fun with your stamps and dies.  

Have a great day!
