Impression Obsession: March Release Day 2

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

The card I’m sharing was made with the following newly released items from Impression Obsession:

Garden Gate Die
Sitting Hens Die Set
Stitched Tag #5 Die Set
It’s the Little Things Rubber Stamp

All of the new stamps and dies you’ll be seeing in the design team inspiration posts are available now! You can find them all HERE in NEW PRODUCTS at the Impression Obsession website.

I die cut the gate, hen, nest and sentiment strip from various colors of cardstock, added additional detail with markers and inked edges. I assembled the scene in place on the front of my card, plopping the hen down on her nest, right in front of the gate. *grin*

Girl Gnome and Flowers

Tonight I created a card with a couple of my Whipper Snapper Designs stamps, and thought I’d share the inspiration with you.

I used Potted Gnome Girl, and a sentiment from Everyday Sentiments cling mount set (it’s stamped inside the card) to create this cheerful card, with a whole lotta sparkle and shine! The image is stamped on a cotton paper, colored with Zig Clean Color water based brush markers, with Glitter Dust added for sparkle.

If you would like to see the creation process of this card, you’re in luck! I uploaded a video. 🙂

Masculine Card Inspiration

Thought I’d share a quick and easy masculine card idea, just in time for Valentine’s Day.

This card is made using stamps and dies from Impression Obsession, including Moose, Wooden Heart, Handmade Label, Journey sentiment, Grunge Cover-a-Card, and French Handwriting.

Please check out this video if you’re interested to see this card creation process!
