{ Impression Obsession - Die Cut Obsession }

Hello and welcome to Die Cut Obsession. We have set aside a couple days to share some fabulous new Impression Obsession die projects! Have fun checking out what our Designers have made today. Today's participants can be found on the Impression Obsession Blog.

Here is my card. 


These little rainbows have been popping up everywhere so I thought I would give them a try. These are hand painted using my watercolor pencils.  I die cut one of the Postage Cuts from vellum. The flowers are die cut from white cardstock and watercolored. "Thank you" is die cut from patterned paper. 


Impression Obsession Supplies:

I hope you love this card as much as I do. Make sure to stop by Impression Obsession Blog for links to other Design Team creations. 


Product Retirement Sale
In our 20 year history, we have rarely discontinued products. The time has come as our warehouse is full and we want to be able to bring in new clear stamp sets and dies, but there's no room. On our site we have several categories with AMAZING deals. The clear stamps and dies are all 50% off and we have an entire section where you can buy a clear set and get the matching dies FREE (these dies are up to a $25 value and most are on this higher end, so it's a great deal).

NEW! Digital Stamps
Digital stamps? What are those? Digital stamps are high resolution graphics files that you can download and print on your home printer. You can then color them in and use them just as you would rubber stamps.

Our original artist, Gary Robertson, draws very detailed pen and ink images that are perfect for using this way. Why would you want digital stamps instead of rubber stamps? Well, they are significantly less expensive. They are also instant gratification. When you order them you receive an email to download them immediately. We love our rubber stamps and there are many techniques you can't do with digital stamps that you can do with rubber, but these are an amazingly affordable option.

We have made 12 of our Gary Robertson stamps available for FREE so you can try them out before you invest money in them. We are also incredibly excited to offer you dozens of FREE digital stamps from Lindsay Ostrom and Nola Chandler which are uplifting and fun designs perfect to use in this time of social distancing.

{ Impression Obsession DT challenge – Not So Moody Blues }

Hi and welcome to our  Impression Obsession challenge – Not So Moody Blues.

Here is a card I created.

Smile by Daniela Dobson

I stamped the background with Quatrefoil background stamp and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I sprinkled the background with Ken Oliver Color Burst in Ultramarine Blue and water.

For the flower tag I stamped Rambling Roses in black ink and colored the image with watercolor pencils. I added  a few scraps under the flower tag that I had laying on my desk, including washi tape and some sewing thread. The sentiment is stamped with Outline Alphabet that I colored with watercolor pencils, as well.

{ Impression Obsession DT challenge – Feathered Friends }

Hi and welcome to our  Impression Obsession challenge – Feathered Friends. My feathered friend today is a bird from Home Sweet Nest stamp set.

Here is my card.

Thank you by Daniela Dobson

I stamped the background with Starburst Cover-a-card background. Then I stamped the branches with the nest and the bird on watercolor paper and used watercolor crayons to color it all in. Pretty easy and fast. I die cut the scalloped circle that I adhered to the watercolor circle. I splattered pink watercolor crayon over the top. I die cut the banner and stamped it with a sentiment.

{ 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.

Merry Christmas by Daniela Dobson

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.

Hello by Daniela Dobson

Say hello to Grace MC448. She is adorable. This is the first time I used this stamp set. When I think of summer I envision these colors, blue, pink and yellow. Plus, Grace is at the beach.
I stamped here on white cardstock and colored the image with watercolor pencils and crayons. The circle frame is a Circle Shaker Frame die. It’s cut from Heidi Swapp resist paper. I sprayed it with Color Shine.

Hello close by Daniela Dobson

The sentiment is from a different stamp set called Hydrangea Clear Set. I stamped it on a die cut from Mini Rectangle Tags 1 Die Set.

  

 



That is all from me. Make sure you check out what the rest of our DT created.

Sunshine by Daniela Dobson

This sentiment is perfect for our challenge today. What do you think? I stamped the flowers from On your birthday stamp set and colored them with watercolor pencils. The white background is stamped with Splatter 2. The little butterflies are from an old set called Butterfly Bliss.
I stamped the sentiment and cut it out. I used Therm O Web 3D squares for the sentiment. The pennant is die cut and stamped.

This card is based on Poppy Sketch #1 by my sweet friend Laura.  Check out her challenge blog Poppy Sketches.
