This card features my Scenic Hiker die, which is a personal favorite, and designed with some of my favorite people in mind, too!

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.

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 background of the card is made with Large Frame, cut from two different patterned papers. 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!
Are you taking some time to be crafty today?
Some quick snowman inspiration for you!
This embellishment is made with the Large Snowman and Snowman Accessories die sets and would be a cute addition to a tree, could be used as a gift tag, or made as a set would be a good gift item for a friend.
Happy weekend!
A new challenge is being shared today on the Impression Obsession Blog, and I hope you join the fun! This week’s challenge is Halloween or Fall Colors. Pull out your Impression Obsession stamps and/or dies, and join us!
The project I made for the challenge uses several Impression Obsession dies. I started by setting the scene with Three Trees Background, die cut from heavyweight black cardstock. 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!

The project I made for the challenge uses several Impression Obsession products. This embellishment is made with the Large Snowman, Snowman Accessories, and one of the Two Kitties.
I cut the shapes from thin foam board. The kitty and accessories are colored with markers and their edges are lightly inked with brown ink. The snowman is also cut from thin foam board. I folksied (going with it) him up with brown ink, and added a bit of water splashes for visual texture. I stamped French Script over his body, for even more visual texture! I colored his eyes, nose, and arms with markers and adhered them in place.

Bonus inspiration share, inspired by two projects I made several years ago that remain my most pinned projects on Pinterest (links below). This tag is made with the Large Snowman and Snowman Accessories die sets from Impression Obsession.
I die cut the snowman from a piece of heavyweight cardstock, and a piece of music paper designer patterned paper and adhered them together. I inked the edges a bit with brown ink. I die cut the accessories from heavyweight cardstock and colored the pieces with markers. I cut the hat from black glitter cardstock, for a bit of pizzazz!
