This card features my Scenic Hiker die, which is a personal favorite, and designed with some of my favorite people in mind, too! The die is cut several times from black cardstock, and once from a white glitter cardstock. I adhered one black piece to the white glitter piece, and off-set it just slightly to give a moon, or sun, glow to the shapes. I then adhered two more black cardstock layers to it, to give it lots of depth.
The cardbase is stamped with the 6x6 Woodgrain background stamp, for a bit of rustic charm.

Today, the Impression Obsession designers are featuring projects made with images from Gary Robertson. You’ll find his images available in rubber and digital, at Impression Obsession.
Fall is my favorite season, so I truly enjoy when I am able to create with beautiful fall colors! The Fresh Produce image from Impression Obsession is full of everything I love about the season. Pumpkins, farm fresh produce, and decorative gourds. And really, who doesn’t love a good farm produce stand? I stamped the image in black StazOn ink and watercolored the image. I used a very loose hand when painting, to not get too caught up in the details of the illustration. The beautiful artwork makes the image a joy to paint.
The Impression Obsession design team is featuring dies as the main focus for our inspiration projects today. This shaped card features the Apron die set, a fun multi-piece die set that makes an A2 sized apron shaped card. I really love how this turned out, using kitchen themed pattern papers.

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.

The Impression Obsession design team is featuring dies as the main focus for our inspiration projects today. I made a card using Large Frame (which is, in my opinion, a must-have die!), and the Tea & Cocoa mug set. I cut the mug several times from heavyweight white cardstock, and several times from various pieces of printed patterned papers. I adhered the patterned papers to the white cardstock pieces, so the cups are nice and sturdy.
I stacked the cups together, and adhered them to the card using foam adhesive. I added a twine bow dressed up with a cute small button, made using one of the buttons from Button Card.
Check the Impression Obsession blog for a list of designers providing inspiration today!
Fill a mug with hot tea, coffee, cocoa or cider, and I’m happy! Give me crafty time too, and oooooh goodie!
The background of the card is made with Large Frame with the frame from Crazy Stitched Set layered on top, cut from different patterned papers. The Tea & Cocoa mug is cut from heavyweight white cardstock and patterned paper, topped with cream cut from white wool felt. I just love the added stitching detail on the mug! I added a cute little red heart cut from wool felt, as well.
I dressed the mug up with a die cut button and some holly leaves. The button is from the Sewing Accessories die set, the holly is from the Primitive Candy Cane & Holly die set, and the little candy cane stuck in the whipped cream was made with the candy cane included in the Stocking die set. Once the card was finished, I gave it a quick spray with glitter spray, for lots of sparkle and shine!
Frame and mug printed papers are from Authentique’s Jingle line. Super cute! The green paper I used for the holly is from an American Crafts 6x6, but I don’t recall the series name. It was a scrap, put to good use.
Today is World Cardmaking Day, and I’ve got this little cutie to share with you. Dressed in a candy maker’s dress, she’s ready to deliver sweets and happiness to someone special.

The ginger girl is cut from kraft cardstock and inked for a bit of flavor, using the Primitive Gingerbread die set. Her dress is from the Gingerbread Accessories die set. The candy canes are made from the accessories included in the Stocking die set. All printed papers are from Authentique’s Jingle line. Super cute!

I nestled the moon from Two Kitties behind the trees. The Ghost is cut from heavyweight white cardstock, and silver glitter cardstock, layered together and slightly off-set to create a sparkly drop shadow. Boo is cut from purple glitter cardstock and black foam for a bit of dimension.

The Impression Obsession design team is featuring dies as the main focus for our inspiration projects today. I made a square card using Quilted Bell. I cut the die several times - once from black cardstock, once from gold glitter cardstock, and from several pieces of printed paper.
I selected the printed papers I wanted to use in each area, inked the edges a smidge, and adhered them into place. Just like putting together a puzzle!

Today is the second day of a two day Winter Die Release Celebration, and I hope you enjoy the inspiration! All of the new dies you see on our celebration posts yesterday and today are available now on the Impression Obsession website.
The first project I am sharing today is a no-sew ornament that features Small Snowman (DIE899-Q). I cut the snowman and all of his accessories from felt. I used the largest Scalloped Stitched Circle (DIE831-YY) to cut a base layer in black felt to give him a base to sit on, and topped it with a Wacky Stitched Circle (DIE837-YY) cut from a country blue acrylic felt.
I added a snowdrift by cutting another Wacky Stitched Circle, and cutting a top edge with the gentle rolling wave die from Wave Edges (DIE838-V). The pieces are all adhered together with just thin lines of white glue. It doesn’t take much! You don’t want the glue pressing through the felt, but there needs to be enough there to hold the felt in place.
Tip: Wool felt, or wool-blend felt works the best when cutting with thin metal dies. However, you can use acrylic felt if you place a piece of paper between the felt and the cutting pad to keep the fibers of the acrylic felt from pushing down into your cutting plate during the cutting process. This entire project, with exception of the carrot nose, is made from acrylic felt. The nose is cut from wool felt, only because that’s the felt I have in the color orange.
This would make a great gift for neighbor, tag on a package, tree ornament, or even a cute little decor item hung from the knob of a china hutch or wardrobe.
Speaking of tags, the next project I’m sharing features Plaid Tag (DIE868-Z), one of the mugs from Coffee & Cocoa (DIE882-V), the heart from Sewing Accessories (DIE871-Z), and a button from Button Card (DIE853-V). To create the tag, I die cut the base layer of the tag from heavyweight white cardstock and some cute pink gingham cardstock and adhered them together. I cut the embossed layer of the tag from some sweet daisy designer paper and adhered it to the top of the tag. I cut the little button and the mug from Kraft cardstock, and colored the coffee/tea area with a brown marker.
The heart is cut from watercolor paper. I inked the edges of all the bits with a warm, brown ink, and adhered the layers all together, and topped the tag with some pretty ribbon and a twine bow.

Today is the first day of a two day Winter Die Release Celebration, and I hope you enjoy the inspiration! All of the new dies you see on our celebration posts today and tomorrow are available now on the Impression Obsession website.
The first project I am sharing features two dies from the release. Two Folk Deer (DIE904-O) and Aspen & Pine Forest (DIE879-YY). I cut Aspen & Pine Forest from a piece of hot press watercolor paper, and inked the die cut image with various colors of brown and green inks.
I also cut Two Folk Deer and their accessory pieces from hot press watercolor paper and inked the layers a bit. I added antlers to the fella, and a bell to the doe. After I inked up a base layer of hot press watercolor paper with some blue and turquoise inks, I sprinkled the inked layer with water and dabbed up the water droplets. That lifted a bit of the color, leaving a pretty, mottled background. I adhered the Aspen & Pine Forest over the blue background, and adhered the deer in place. I love it! The Aspen & Pine Forest would be so pretty done with glitter for sparkle and shine!
The next project I’m sharing features Chunky Candle (DIE881-L), Primitive Snowflakes (DIE893-YY), the holly from Primitive Candy Cane & Holly (DIE894-U), a button from Button Card (DIE853-V), and Large Frame (DIE860-WW). To create the candle, I die cut all of the pieces of the candle from heavyweight white cardstock. I colored the pieces with alcohol markers and inked the edges to add a bit with a warm, brown ink. I added one of the snowflakes from Primitive Snowflakes as a decorative element to the candle. I added a bit of glitter glue to the flame of the candle.
The holly is cut from two colors of green cardstock and the edges were inked a bit with brown ink. I cut one of the small buttons from the Button Card set, threaded it with twine, and adhered it in place. The background of the card is framed with the Large Frame die. I really love the Large Frame die. I’ve seen it used on a lot of projects made by others, and it always looks terrific — a must have!

Hi friends! Just a quick little note to say hi.... No lion.
See what I did there? Haaa!
The Hi die and the cute Lion die are both from my recently released fall dies for Impression Obsession.
I die cut the lion from heavyweight card stock and inked the layers with various colors of brown ink. I added Glossy Accents to his eyes and nose for a bit of shine. I think he’s cute as a button!
What do you think of the die designs I’ve released with Impression Obsession?
The Impression Obsession design team is featuring dies as the main focus for our inspiration projects today. I made a gift card/tag using Large Pinecone. The set comes with two dies - the solid base layer, and the textured top layer. I cut the solid base layer twice, from brown cardstock. I adhered the together at the top, so they fold open like a top folding card. I then cut the textured top layer from a lighter brown cardstock, and a piece of brown foam, and adhered them to the card base. I dressed up the pinecone with several pieces of Pine Pair branches, a pretty red ribbon, hemp twine, and a silver jingle bell.

A new challenge is being shared today on the Impression Obsession Blog, and I hope you join the fun! This week’s challenge is Falling Leaves. Pull out your Impression Obsession stamps and/or dies, and join us!
The project I made for the challenge uses several Impression Obsession products. First, the treat holder is made with the Small Basket die. The basket die is easy to use. Use the die to cut four sides of the basket, and adhere the sides to one another along one edge. Adhere the bottom flaps in place, and fill the basket with all kinds of fun goodies! The small basket is perfectly sized for so many things — tea bags, small canning jars, sweet treats, a set of handmade tags, etc.
I filled the basket with nearly an entire bag of Hershey kisses. Yum! The tag I added to the top was created with Plaid Tag, Patchwork Leaves, Handmade Label, and one of the buttons from Button Card. I used a sentiment from the clear set Gift Tags, stamped in Black Hybrid Ink, and used an orange marker to color the little heart.

The first project I’m sharing today features Large Frame (DIE860-WW), Owl (DIE866-Y), Birch Tree Circle (DIE849-W), and the heart from Sewing Accessories (DIE871-Z). I cut the owl, birch tree circle, leaves, and heart from watercolor paper and inked them with various colors of ink. I really love how the owl’s wings allow him to hold things. Super cute! He could hold gifts, balloons, coffee, letters, cupcakes, and so much more!
My second project features Owl (DIE866-Y), Birch Tree Circle (DIE849-W), and Fall Blessings (D19243). The owl is cut from brown cardstock and trimmed to have the same edge as the birch frame. The birch tree circle is cut from watercolor paper and lightly inked around the edges.

Today is the first day of a two day Fall Die Release Celebration for Impression Obsession, and I hope you enjoy the inspiration! All of the new dies you see on our celebration posts today and tomorrow are available now on the Impression Obsession website.
The first project I am sharing features three dies from the release. Plaid Tag (DIE868-Z), Black-Eyed Susan (DIE851-ZZ), and one of the buttons from Button Card (DIE853-V). I cut the base of Plaid Tag from kraft colored cardstock and cut the top layer of Plaid Tag from a pretty burgundy colored cardstock, and inked the layers a bit. I cut one of the buttons from the Button Card set from watercolor paper and inked it with a pretty green ink. I cut all of the layers of the Black-Eyed Susan flower from watercolor paper and inked them with various colors of yellow, brown, and green inks.
I assembled all of the pieces, layering them and adding dimension with foam adhesive and hot glue, and ooooooo, I love it!
The next project I’m sharing features the same Black-Eyed Susan set (DIE851-ZZ), but uses the small tag from the Deckled Tag set (DIE855-Q) and the round base tag from Web Tag (DIE877-T). Again, I die cut the Black-Eyed Susan shapes from watercolor cardstock and inked the shapes with various colors of yellow and brown inks. I stamped Thanks (A9370) on the small Deckled Tag. I love the shape and design of this tag base. And while it comes with a web and is ideal for Halloween themed projects, but will be perfect for tags year round! Behind the flower is even a bit of wacky faux stitching. Fun!
I assembled all of the pieces, layering and adding dimension with foam adhesive to create the finished tag.

The Impression Obsession design team is featuring dies as the main focus for our inspiration projects today. This card features a layer from Wacky Stitched Circles cut from gold foil paper, Tags with Tags cut from watercolor paper, stamped with Christmas Teacup, colored with water based pigments. I also used several pieces of Pine Sprig, a personal favorite. The Merry Christmas sentiment is from the clear set Holiday Words. On the base of the card I stamped Raffia Bow in Seafoam hybrid ink.

Picket Fence Studios has a really fun release for August, and I am happy to share a project with with you today! The card I made features The Ghouls Made Me Do It and Trick or Treaters stamp and coordinating die set. I stamped the ghouls on white cardstock with VersaMark ink and embossed then with clear embossing powder. I sprinkled the panel with Black Brusho Colourcraft powder and spritzed it with water. It’s fun to watch all of the fun colors in the powder flow and spread! The Trick or Treaters are stamped on heavy weight card stock and colored with water based pigments. I added a couple pieces of spider web doilies, sparkly kitty stickers and a “cute” little spider sticker to finish off the card.

A new challenge is being shared today on the Impression Obsession Blog, and I hope you join the fun! This week’s challenge is Moody Blues. Pull out your Impression Obsession stamps and/or dies, and join us!
The card I created for the challenge uses the adorable Heinz (G12086), Flower Pop Background (SS-1316-L), and “Holiday Hugs” - a sentiment from the Merry Mail set (CL968). Heinz is stamped in archival ink on watercolor paper and painted with water based pigments. I die cut the painted image with one of the Wacky Stitched Circle (DIE837-YY) layers, and adhered it to a Scalloped Stitched Circle (DIE831-YY) layer.
Flower Pop Background is stamped on the base of the card in Sky Blue Hybrid Ink. Holiday Hugs is stamped on a Pinked Stitched Sentiment Banner (DIE814-U), and tucked underneath a couple of Pine Sprig (DIE097-M) die cuts, and a Jingle Bell (DIE759-E) that I cut from gold foil paper.
Look at that face — what a cutie! A blue ribbon bow topped with a cute little red button finish it off.

Today I’m part of a crafty trifecta with Picket Fence Studios, My Sweet Petunia, and Thermoweb. I used the adorable cat stamp and coordinating die from the Picket Fence Studios set, I Love Your Face. The sentiment is from the set, A Bright Night.
I used gold Thermoweb Deco Foil to create a colorful foiled background for my card. The foil is adhered to the tacky surface of alcohol ink before it completely dried.
I used my mini MISTI to position the sentiment at the bottom of the card base, and stamp it multiple times for a perfect impression.

The Impression Obsession design team is featuring dies as the main focus for our inspiration projects today. This card features the Sheep, Birds and Tree set. I used the Crazy Stitched Set for the card base, and the sentiment banner is from the Stitched Tag set. The star and heart are from the Saltbox Houses set. I used the Hill Landscape Layers to create the background skyline.
