Impression Obsession: January Favorite

Welcome to the Impression Obsession January 2021 stamp release Team Favorites blog hop! Today, designers are sharing our favorite projects from this month’s release. 

The card I’m sharing today was made with the Journey stamp, as well as the Bear die, and the Stitched Tag die set. I really love how this card turned out! I can see myself using this design a lot more in the future, especially for cards for fellas.

I created another card using the Journey stamp and am sharing a video showing the creation process of making the card!

Impression Obsession: January Release Day 2

Welcome to the Impression Obsession January 2021 release celebration! It’s Day 2 and I have more inspiration to share with you!

The card I’m sharing today was made with the Heart Medallion image, in addition to a long-time favorite of mine French Script and Rose Music. I used the Vintage Watercolor technique, which can be found in the techniques forum of SplitCoastStampers, to stamp and color the image. I created a video of the making process, which I hope you will enjoy! I have been sharing videos on YouTube regularly. If you’re not subscribed to my channel, I invite you to do so!

Impression Obsession: January Release Day 1

Welcome to the Impression Obsession January 2021 release celebration! It’s Day 1 and I have some inspiration to share with you!

The card I’m sharing was made with the I Love You stamp, as well as the face from the Bunny die set, and the base of the Plaid Tag die set. I stamped I Love You on a kraft colored Plaid Tag base and embossed it with white embossing powder. I added the cute bunny face, added some cute cotton lace ribbon, twine bow, and a cute sparkly heart die cut for added happiness.

Impression Obsession: Oldies but Goodies

It is an “old is new” day for the Impression Obsession team, where we feature older products in the Impression Obsession catalog. Not only do we love featuring older images, but also showing you how you can breath new life into images you may already have in your stash! We hope you're inspired!

The card I created for today’s inspiration is called Love Angel, and is a darling image! I also used the What If sentiment, one of my all-time favorite IO sentiments. The images are stamped on watercolor paper, painted with Da Vinchi watercolor pigments, set on a layer of silver glitter cardstock and mounted to a pink card base. Then, I spritzed the entire card with Glitter Dust spray, and added some Stickles glitter glue for even MORE sparkle and shine! I love it!

And, I made a video of the creation of this card. Enjoy!

Here is a video showing the creation process - enjoy!

I used the following dies to create my two tags:

Impression Obsession: Focus on Dies

The Impression Obsession design team is featuring dies as the main focus for our inspiration projects today.

I created this Folk Art Snowflake card that has a sweet country design to it! I cut the snowflake from a heavyweight white card stock and adhered it to a piece of kraft colored card stock that I stamped the Grunge Cover-a-Card background stamp on, as well as some script text for added visual interest. I used Caramel hybrid ink for the stamped images. I adhered the card front to a piece of brown glitter paper, which I then adhered to a kraft card base.
