Sassy & Sweet Notes

Chicken Beauty

The Impression Obsession design team is featuring dies as the main focus for our inspiration projects today. This card features the hen from the Chicken die set, Chicken Wire, and the center cut from Mid-size Frame. The hen is cut from various printed papers, adhered over top of the chicken wire that’s cut from silver metallic cardstock, and the blue rectangle center of the frame die. I can’t wait to send her to a friend!

In Love with Spring Celebration Day 1

I’m excited! It’s release time for Impression Obsession, and that means I have new stamps and dies to share with you!

Today is the first day of the In Love with Spring 2020 Release Celebration, and I hope you enjoy the inspiration! All of the new stamps and dies you see on our celebration posts are available now on the Impression Obsession website.

The card I’m sharing today is made with three dies from the release. I used Eyelet Primitive Hearts, Dainty Heart, and the heart from Heart & Home.

The Eyelet Primitive Hearts is cut from Kraft colored cardstock, and inked with brown ink for a bit of warmth. The Dainty Heart was cut from both white cardstock and antique silver glitter cardstock and the two pieces used separately. The thin heart frame is perfectly imperfect, and the silver center heart (hard to see in these photos) has stitching detail. The red heart is the center of the Heart & Home die. They are all layered over a paper doily and some faint text printed paper.

Love is in the Air

Welcome to 2020!! A new challenge is being shared today on the Impression Obsession Blog, and I hope you join the fun! This week’s challenge is Love is in the Air. Pull out your Impression Obsession stamps and/or dies, and join us!

For my project I made a card using Primitive Gingerbread, Primitive Gingerbread Accessories, Large Frame, and sneak peeking (a favorite!) Quilted Frame and Small Love Pie, two of my new dies in the 2020 Valentine die release!

I’m bringing the ginger girl beyond the Christmas holidays! My ginger girl was cut from thin chipboard, and lightly inked with brown ink for a nice “baked just right” look. I used various prints from the Snow & Cocoa paper pad by Crate Paper. Super cute! She has whipped up a special pie, made with love, for her special someone. I love the detail on the pie crust and plate, bowl, her dress, and the frames behind her.
