{ Impression Obsession Design Team Thursday }

It’s my turn to share a project I created using Impression Obsession stamps and dies. I always start with some sort of design in my head for everything I make, but it always turns out differently.

The card started like this.

I heat embossed Wispy Leaves Large using clear embossing powder and added watercolor crayon over the top. I heat embossed Wood Tag on vellum using white embossing powder and layered it over Border Duo 3 Die Set. For the yellow circle I used the new All-in-One Frames – Circles Dies. The butterflies are Medium Butterflies die. Thank you sentiment is from the new stamp set called Thank you that I stamped on white cardstock and cut out.
I used Mojo Monday 408 for the card.

That is all from me for today. All these new stamps are available on Impression Obsession.

{ Card kit Monday Hello Bird }

Today I have a new Card Kit Monday for you. I didn’t have anything for you last Monday since I was gone. We took our family vacation to California, Nevada and Arizona. If you follow me on Instagram you have seen all the photos. We are back and this is my first creation. I really missed it.

Here is the card I made.

I cut the tag from vellum and punched a hole for the twine. The bird I made last year and totally forgot about it. I have been using I Love Sunshine 6x6 paper pad by Echo Park for most of my cards lately. I just love the bright, summer colors. I will make another card or two using the same elements. If you have the first Card Kit Monday and now this one, there are lots of elements to work with to create different cards and layouts. If there is something else you would like to see, let me know.

Make sure you check out what my friends Katrina and Teri created with the last Card Kit Monday.

Have a great Monday.

{ Card kit Monday and a freebie }

I made it, Card kit Monday on Monday. This is my third card with this kit. I changed the sentiments and embellishments. So many other things can be added from your stash.

For this card I used Color Throwdown #350 and Fab Friday 68

This time I added the butterfly (my previous cards had an arrow and a balloon).  I am sharing  the arrow, balloon and butterfly in the freebie file below.
I cut the striped panel from white cardstock and painted it pink and orange using watercolor to match the colors for the challenge. The butterfly is painted, as well, with the same pink color.

My friend Teri Anderson created an adorable card using this kit. Make sure you check it out.

{ Card kit Monday }

Hi, here is my Card kit Monday post on Tuesday, LOL. It didn’t work out how I planned (posting on Monday), but it was fun using the same items again to create this new card.

I used Mojo Monday 405 sketch for this card. I loved it the moment I saw it and thought my elements would work perfectly for the sketch. The bright paper is from Echo Park that I received recently from Emma’s Paperie.

Here is the kit I used. Same as last week, except I added a balloon and a different sentiment. I needed the balloon as part of the Curtain Call – Celebrate challenge.  I have never made a balloon before and it was easy. The only thing that is different from last week is that the arrow is missing and I have a different sentiment. 

“Celebrate” is my own handwriting and after I cut it I didn’t like that it wasn’t standing out on the busy background. I used the offset function to create an outline around the word that I cut from white cardstock.

That is all from me for today.

***If you would like to create something with this kit, and are willing to share your creation, leave me a comment or email me and I will email you these files.***

{ July 2015 Memory Keepers Studio by Technique Tuesday }

It’s time for July release of Memory Keepers Studio- Favorite Things and Fresh Cut Studio – Page Makers. This stamp set is shipping July 15. If you are not a member of Memory Keepers Studio come and see how you can sign up --->>> HERE.

Here is a layout I created using the stamps and dies.

 

I combined several different stamp sets here, but the focus is on Favorite Things stamp set and Page Makers dies. I couldn’t resist the large letters that I colored with watercolor crayons. Big Timber Outline Lowercase are awesome. I stamped the name on white cardstock and cut the whole word out. The little bike and “have fun” is from On Vacation - Memory Keepers Studio - May 2015.

There are other new releases for July that you need to check out, especially the alphabet sets. We have 4 new ones. In addition, we released 4 new planner stamp sets. I have been using them in my June planner and have my July ready to go.

These are the sets I worked with and love them.

Make sure you check out the Technique Tuesday blog for more ideas.

I have a card made form Card Kit Monday. I will have that later today or tomorrow. Have a great Monday!

{ Impression Obsession DT challenge – Christmas in July }

Hello and happy Thursday. It’s that time again, Impression Obsession DT challenge. Today I am sharing a card that I created with brand NEW stamps from Impression Obsession. This is from our Fall/Winter 2015 release and will be available soon.

How fun is this tree? It is called Graphic Tree. I used watercolor pencils to color it and I added Deco Foil for extra sparkle and shine. The background is stamped with Cover-a-Card Quatrefoil. On top of that I layered our new die from the last release called All-in-One Frames - Rectangles 2. As you can see it is stitched! Love that. The oval is from last release, as well, called All-in-One Frames – Ovals. Striped Banner is an older stamp and I love how versatile it is.

---

Why don’t you come along and play with us. To enter the challenge go to the Impression Obsession Blog (all the details are there!).  Create a new project using  Impression Obsession stamps and post it on Impression Obsession Blog between July 2 – July 15. A winner will be chosen randomly to win a$25 gift certificate to the Impression Obsession store.
