Hello and welcome to another Old is New blog post.

With such a huge collection of wonderful stamps from so many artists, sometimes the older stamps in the Impression Obsession catalog find their way out of the spotlight. We don't want them to be forgotten, so from now on you'll be seeing our team feature them regularly. We hope you're inspired!

Here is my card.

This card came together in less than 10 minutes. I went into my stamp drawer and grabbed several stamps that I liked and wanted to use (see list below). I used a patterned piece of paper and stamped Splat 1 using Impression Obsession Hybrid Ink.

I layered several pieces of paper that were laying around, washi tape and a piece of vellum with black polka dots. 

For the Solid Scallop Heart I only had a scrap piece of white cardstock so that is why I only have half of a heart. 

The diagonal stripes was a left piece of stamped cardstock I used on another project, but I love all the Mini Patterns. There are nine sets and you should check them out.

Finally I stamped the sentiment. I love the way it turned out.

Do you love digital stamps? Well, we have a section at Impression Obsession just for digital stamps. This image is by Gary Robinson, who has a huge collection of rubber stamps. I downloaded my image and to print more than one image at a time I open my Word document and just insert images and move them around. They upload at their original size. 

For this one I printed it out and used my watercolor pencils to color in the image. The background is stamped with Wide Watercolro Stripe. I die cut the tag from blue cardstock and layered the watercolor digital image. For my sentiment I die cut "thanks" from white cardstock.

Today I created a Memerydex card. 

Impression Obsession supplies:

Secret Code

Branch Die

Floral Tag Flag

There For You
Impression Obsession Hybrid Ink

I stamped the Memorydex card base with Secret Code in Sea Glass. I layered several stickers from my old stash of My Mind's Eye. I die cut Branch die from patterned paper and vellum. I layered them together on top of each other. I stamped Floral Tag Flag with the same ink as the base and cut it out. I stamped the sentiment from There For You stamp set. I used lots of 3D foam squares from Therm O Web and small Zots adhesive dots for the sequins.

If you are not familiar with Memorydex You can check out my post HERE where I am sharing two free files. One is the rolodex card and it fits Heidi Swapp system and it fits paper straws. The other one is the diamond shape I used for one of my cards created for the Instagram challenge hosted by @atstudiod and  @caroline_mae_m. I will be sharing my projects on Instagram you can follow me there. I have created a card for every week and this is week 17 - two of a kind.

Here is what I created.

I created a set of journaling cards using various stamps. One of the cards I used for my Traveler's Notebook page.

I started by stamping Chalk Treat Bag with different colors of ink. I stamped each tag with a round stamp from Journal Frames.

I stamped Lavender Bunch around the edge.

I added a little strip of patterned paper at the top of each tag and a piece of washi tape. The stamped and die cut flower are Bunch Of Blossoms with matching dies. I stamped each word with black ink and cut it out: Home, Family, Hello.

I used just one stamp set on this card. I stamped the hearts first using Impression Obsession Ink. I layered a doily and a piece of patterned paper with stamped “love” tag and stamped and cut “XO”. What a cute stamp set and so many possibilities with various cards for different occasions.

This stamp set is on sale!!!

Today I am using a stamp set from 2015 called Spring Medley and it has matching dies Flower Trio.

Here is my card. 

I stamped, die cut and watercolored the roses. Very loosely watercolored. I stamped the background with Vintage Briar Rose Background (2016). I just love that stamp set and have used it in many cards.

If you visit the links to the stamps, most of the stamps have sample photos of the cards we created using them. 

I added an embellishment from my stash, washi tape and twine. I used Therm O Web 3D foam adhesive to add dimension to the flowers. The sentiment is from Everyday Words (2016).

I hope you visit Impression Obsession blog and visit the Design Team to see what they created with old stamps. Plus, we posted a list of winners from our Spring Release celebration.
