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.

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

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!

Impression Obsession: Focus on Dies

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

I decided to create a couple of last minute holiday/winter gift tags, and created polar bears using the Panda Bear die set and the Bear die set.

I think they turned out pretty cute!

Here is a video showing the creation process - enjoy!

I used the following dies to create my two tags:

Panda Bear die set

Bear die set

Stitched Tag die set

Penguin Outfits die set

Small Santa Hat

Impression Obsession: Old is New

Today is an “old is new” day for the Impression Obsession team, where we feature older products in the Impression Obsession catalog. We hope you're inspired!

My tag features Deer Snowglobe and one of the hens from the Roosters and Chickens die set. I removed the deer from the die cut image, and replaced him with that adorable little hen. Fun!

Impression Obsession: Die Showcase

I created this card using Small Primitive Gingerbread die set, Small Primitive Gingerbread Accessories, and the little ginger cookie from the Frosted Cookies die set. The cute little candycane she’s holding is from the Stocking die set. I love it’s size!
