{ Impression Obsession - All About the Dies - Day 3 }

Hi and welcome to day 3 of our die blog hop. Impression Obsession now manufactures and sells Dies. Our dies are US-made steel dies and are compatible with most tabletop die cut machines. Here is your chance to win some of our dies.

Here is my card combining several different dies to create this little flower arrangement.

Happy day by Daniela Dobson

I love that all the dies are connected together. You run them through with different patterned papers and you are done. I attached each flower and button with Zots by Therm O Web and added some enamel dots from My Mind’s Eye. I added twine to the buttons.

The sentiment and the little banner is from Banners and Greetings stamp set. For the background I used a polar grid mask that I created in my Silhouette Studio. I used Heidi Swapp color shine to mist over the polar grid.

Here are some other creations that I shared on my blog.

{ Impression Obsession Die Hop – day 1 }

Hi and welcome to our die blog hop. Impression Obsession now manufactures and sells Dies. Our dies are US-made steel dies and are compatible with most tabletop die cut machines. Here is your chance to win some of our dies.

I have been using them on most of my projects. For this hop I created this card using our new Fancy Butterfly die.

Miss you by Daniela Dobson

I die cut the butterflies from patterned paper and only adhered them in the center. I added little jewels for their body. I added washi tape to the top of the journaling card from the new My Mind’s Eye Collectable collection. I sprinkled some Heidi Swapp color shine in Tropicana Teal.

Miss you close by Daniela Dobson

In addition, I wanted to share some of my older cards created with dies.

Happy fall

I created this little layout.

Lucky by Daniela Dobson

For this project, I used Samantha's Silhouette cuts:

“lucky” word
”lucky” card
lucky tickets print and cut
Traditions paper collection

I started by opening the “lucky” card and copying just the shamrock into a new window.

step 2

Next, open replicate window and click on row of four. Rotate second and third shamrock 45 degrees. Select all four shamrock and go to align window and click on space horizontally and space vertically. Go to replicate window and click on fill page.This is what you get.
The reason I alternated the shamrocks is so that I can use this as a mask/stencil for another project.

Step 3

I saved the cut shamrocks and laid them on white cardstock, randomly. I used green mist to spray the paper.

Step 4 Daniela Dobson

Step 5 Daniela Dobson

For the photo frame, I measured the photo and that was my opening. I added a border for the frame. I resized the “lucky” word to fit the bottom of the frame and click on Make compound path. I added lots of little embellishments on this page.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
