A Window, A Box, and a Shaker! Funny Friday with Art Impressions
Hey there friends, it’s Shari Carroll here with you for another edition of our popular Funny Friday series featuring Art Impressions products! Today, I’m working with a Cruisin’ Carol stamps and dies. She is really wanting to break away from the winter chill and get some of that Vitamin Sea!!
It’s been a long while since I’ve made a box card and these images seemed like the perfect opportunity! I created the box by using my scoring board and black cardstock, then die cut a window in the center of the front.
For the inside, I used the Dot Spiral embossing folder, ink blended with yellows and oranges to look like a sun. I covered the panel with plastic, filled it with the Zest embellishment mix, then sealed it up.
To see how this all came together, check out my video below!! Enjoy!

Ink Blending and Layering Templates featuring our February 2026 Card Kit!
Hello everyone! Heather Hoffman here today, and I just can’t get enough of the amazing February 2026 Card Kit: The Small Things! There really are endless possibilities with the innovative designs in this months kit, and I’ve used them so many ways already! For today’s cards, I decided to take them a bit of a different – and FUN – direction!
I chose a couple of the Artful Palette layering templates that I thought would work well together for some layered stenciling, then chose two color palettes that would work well together and be complimentary where they overlapped. The cooler colors I chose were Surf and Dublin, and the warmer tones were Sunbeam and Grapefruit. I stenciled them, one over the other, on panels of white cardstock, blending softly to keep the colors from getting to deep and dark.
Next, I selected some sentiments from the Be Your Beautiful Self set in the kit, and stamped them directly over that stenciling. You can see how I chose something in the stenciled grid to center each of them – they really provided the perfect guidelines for where to add those sentiments! I also die cut some of the tiny hearts and butterflies from white cardstock with the Artful Palette coordinating dies, and popped them up with foam adhesive on that panel.
I chose some coordinating cardbases from my stash – Mint and Cotton Candy – and added those panels over top with foam adhesive. To add a bit of sparkle, I added some Dazzling Gems in black to each card, and then covered the die cut hearts and butterflies with some sparkly Nuvo Glitter Drops in Blizzard!
What color combo would you like to use for these amazing templates? Do you like them layered together like this, or would you keep them simple and separate?
