Impression Obsession: So Very Thankful

A new challenge is being shared today on the Impression Obsession Blog, and I hope you join the fun! The challenge is So Very Thankful. Pull out your Impression Obsession stamps and/or dies, and join us!

The card I created uses the Patchwork Leaves (DIE491-U) die set. I used the set to die cut several colors of cardstock and grouped the leaves on the front of the card. The sentiment was created with the Give Thanks (DIE438-H) die.

Impression Obsession: Happy Haunting

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

I had a blast making my project for this week’s challenge! To create my happy haunting card, I die cut Three Trees Background from black cardstock and set it over a piece of fun “dropping spiders” printed paper. I die cut Mini Ghosts and two of the Monsters from white cardstock and colored them with markers to give them lots of character.

The monsters are adhered to the card with foam adhesive so they pop up from the card. I added googlie-eyes for extra “happy”. I die cut the witch from the Halloween Set from black cardstock and black craft foam, adhered the cuts together and added her and the mini ghosts to the card among the trees.

Finally, I die cut the Trick or Treat sentiment several times, adhered them together to give the sentiment dimension, and adhered it to the card. The entire tree panel is adhered to a orange and white polka dot printed paper, which is adhered to a white card base. 

Whoooo-woooo-wee, I’m just delighted with this happy haunting project!

Picket Fence Studios: A Gnome Winter

Picket Fence Studios is releasing several new stamp sets and I’m delighted to share a project today that features one of the new sets, A Gnome Winter (S126). This fella is so cute in his knit hat!

I used one of the sentiments in the set to lightly stamp the background, to create a slight text background. He is stamped in black ink on kraft colored card stock and colored with alcohol markers.

Creepy Little Friend

I pulled out one of my long-time favorite stamps and Halloween cling mount sets tonight and made this creepy little friend card. Chicken Witch and cling mount set The Witch is In are both available from Whipper Snapper Designs. I used a web die from Impression Obsession to create a fun web design out of silver glitter paper, and used patterned paper from American Crafts. 

I had a ball making this cutie!

Impression Obsession: Make it Sparkle

A new challenge is being shared today on the Impression Obsession Blog, and I hope you join the fun! This week’s challenge is Make it Sparkle.  Pull out your Impression Obsession stamps and/or dies, and join us!

To create my over-the-top sparkly card, I die cut Deer Frame from brown and white glitter cardstock. I removed the negative pieces of the die from the white paper and placed them into place in the brown die cut design creating a two color image. 

I added a bow and red button on top of several glittery die cut pine pieces I made with the Pine Sprig Cluster and Patchwork Holly. And woooo-wee does he sparkle!

Impression Obsession: Fall/Winter Die Release Celebration Day 2

Today is the second day of a two day Fall/Winter Die Release Celebration for Impression Obsession, and I hope you enjoy the inspiration! All of the new products you see on our celebration posts yesterday and today are available now on the Impression Obsession website. The card I made for today’s post features another one of my favorite dies from the release, Santa Head.

The Santa Head set comes with several sizes of beards you can use to create Santa. Use one, or several layers, to create your Santa! I die cut all of the pieces I wanted to use from heavy white 110lb cardstock and colored the shapes with markers. This is much faster, and provides a bit more control over colors than die cutting all of the shapes from various colors of card stock. I assembled my colored layers, added a sparkling pom-pom, touch of holly and a little red gem to his hat, a few white highlights here and there, and adhered him to my card. Super cute, Ho Ho Ho!

Find all the details on this amazing release on the Impression Obsession Blog. 

Let me know what you think of my card! I will be giving away one $10 Impression Obsession gift certificate, drawn at random from comments left on my Fall/Winter Die Celebration posts (there are two posts - a comment on both posts means you will have two chances to win the gift certificate!) Comments will remain open until Noon Pacific on Saturday September 29th. The winner will be announced on my blog and the Impression Obsession blog on Monday, October 1st.

Impression Obsession: Fall/Winter Die Release Celebration

Today is the first day of a two day Fall/Winter Die Release Celebration for Impression Obsession, and I hope you enjoy the inspiration! All of the new products you see on our celebration posts today and tomorrow are available now on the Impression Obsession website. The card I made for today’s post features what might just be my favorite die from the release, Deer Frame.

I die cut Deer Frame from heavy white 110lb cardstock and carefully removed the negative space pieces from around the die cut design. I used various colors of brown ink to color the die rich shades of brown. For added visual texture and interest, I then stamped the image with the large cover a card stamp, Beauty Text. Next, I carefully inked the negative pieces of the die, making sure to keep some areas light in color, and some areas dark, depending on where they were going to be placed next to the deer. Once I was happy with the inking, I put the negative space pieces back into the die like I was putting together a puzzle. I added a hemp cord bow and old brass button on top of die cut pine and pine cone pieces I made with another favorite of mine, the Pine Sprig Cluster die set.

To create my card, I used the Owl Frame die, which is A-mazing!

I die cut the owl frame from heavy white 110lb cardstock. Once cut, I colored some areas of the die with markers, and used various shades of brown and black inks to color the die. Then I stamped the image with the large cover a card stamp, Beauty Text. I set the cut and colored image over a super sparkly black glitter card stock base, and added a twine bow and button. This die makes for a beautiful, yet super easy, clean-and-simple card.

Happy Birthday, Taylored Expressions!

I’m delighted to be participating in the 10-year birthday celebration for Taylored Expressions today! In honor of their special 10-year celebration, I made this super cute (if I do say so myself... Ha!) birthday card using the Happy Hens stamp and die set and the Llama Love stamp and die set. I also used the Cable Knit embossing folder to create a textured card base. I love it!

I stamped the images on white card stock in black ink and colored them with alcohol markers. I added a bit of Stickles glitter glue for a bit of sparkle and shine. Look at those personalities!! Adorable!

Happy Birthday, Taylored Expressions!! I wish you many more happy-stampy years filled with creativity and fun!

Visit the Taylored Expressions blog and join in their birthday celebration fun! Cheers!

Hoot Hoot!

I picked up a new die set last week at Tuesday Morning, called Twit Twoo by Die’sire. Kind of a goofy name for a die, but you can use the shapes included in the set to create a pretty cute little owl card. 

Impression Obsession: Popped Up Words

A new challenge is being shared today on the Impression Obsession Blog, and I hope you join the fun! We are popping up words for this week’s challenge. Pull out your Impression Obsession stamps and/or dies, and join us!

To create my card, I used several dies.

Dies: Birch Trees DIE079-U, Layered Floral Set DIE047-J, and Give Thanks DIE438-H 

I glued the birch trees behind a circle opening cut in my card base, and adhered leaves that I cut from white card stock and colored with markers. I die cut Give Thanks four times and adhered them together in a single stack to give the words lots of dimension.

Played with some Taylored Expressions stamps and dies tonight - used my favorite Happy Hens, and Lookin’ Sharp to create this card. Images are stamped on white card stock and colored with alcohol markers.

I added some stardust Stickles for a bit of sparkle and shine.  

Impression Obsession: Featured Designer

Good day to ya! I am this week’s featured designer for Impression Obsession. I chose to create a garden themed thank you card, using a few images from the Lavender Fields (CL850) set, a butterfly from the Butterfly Kisses (CL853) set, and a sentiment from the Thanks Sentiments (CL41) set.

I stamped the images on watercolor paper using VersaMark ink, and embossed them with black detail embossing powder. Once the embossing powder was set, I spritzed the paper with water and added various colors of Distress Ink to loosely paint the image. I added a couple of buttons tied with natural twine for extra embellishment next to the sentiment banner.

Impression Obsession: Featured Designer

Once a month a different Impression Obsession design team member is featured - this is my month, so I am sharing a project today!

This scene card was created with the recently released mailbox die set (Die633-P), and spills out lots of hearts created with the conversation hearts die set (Die133-C).
