{ Impression Obsession DT challenge – Falling Leaves }

Hi and welcome to our  Impression Obsession challenge – Falling Leaves (Fall themed).

I created a card using the stamp set that has the same name as our challenge – Falling Leaves.

Falling Leaves stamp set comes with a matching die with the same name – Falling Leaves. I stamped and die cut three different leaves from white cardstock. They are scattered and adhered to the front journaling card using Therm O Web adhesive and 3D foam squares. I added a wood veneer and sequins leaf.

The background is stamped using a Cover-a-card stamp called Thick Stripes. I stamped them horizontally  and then again vertically using two different Impression Obsession ink colors. I added a sentiment from the same set, washi, sequins, Nuvo Crystal drops and twine.

{ Sketch To Finish Vol 3 Highlight from Elle’s Studio }

Today I am sharing a layout on Elle’s Studio blog created with a sketch from our brand new class From Sketch to Finish Vol 3 and Family Fun collection. Stop by the blog to see how this came together.

We are excited to announce that “From Sketch to Finish Vol. 3” is now available! Simplify your scrapbooking process by starting with a sketch from this new, self-paced class, which will take the guesswork out of the process and will allow to you create layouts you love in no time!

Our fifty-page PDF class starts with 10 different sketches and 10 contributors, each sharing two layouts created from a sketch. You will get to read their tips and see how they interpreted each sketch to fit their unique and beautiful styles. Then, we will end the class with an extra bonus of 20 full-page sketches and you’ll be on your way to creating projects in no time! For you double-page layout lovers, we’ve also included several two-page sketches in Volume 3, that we know you will love!

This class is also available with an exclusive and BIG 6 x 8 inch stamp (while supplies last) that was designed just for this class! The possibilities are endless, and in the class, our contributors will show you how they incorporated the stamp’s fun graphics and sayings on their layouts! For those who aren’t into stamping, we’ve also made the class available without the stamp, too.

{ Thanks card with Maya Road }

Hello and happy Monday. I have a blog post on Maya Road blog today sharing this card.

For my card I used Flower Die Set and I die cut the flowers and leaves from patterned paper, cardstock and Foil Mates. Using my laminator and Deco Foil from Therm O Web  I added some shine to the background and the flower base.

For the sentiment I used Rose Garden Sentiment Stamp set that I stamped in black ink on a tag from my stash.

I tied two pieces of Twine Cording - Blackberry to the top of the panel and then again a bow under the flower.

Remember to stop by the MAYA ROAD store to check all the materials used on this card, use the code "TWINETIME" to receive 30% off all the TWINE goodies in your cart.

{ Impression Obsession Design Team Thursday }

It is my turn today to share a card I made using Impression Obsession stamps and dies. Here is what I created.

I have been wanting to use this Leaf Set by Dina Kowal. It’s a layered leaf set with four different sentiments. Here is my card.

I stamped the bottom of the card with Herringbone Cover-a-card stamp and Chocolate Ink. I added a piece of patterned paper to the top.

To stamp the leaves I used several different colors: Melon, Chocolate, Tan, Chartreuse, Shamrock. In addition, I used Leaf Stems stamp set. I stamped three different images and cut them out. I used 3D foam squares to adhere the circle and Mini Tape runner from Therm O Web to add all the other elements.

Have a great Thursday.
