{ Impression Obsession DT Challenge – Autumn Colors }

 Hello and welcome to our Impression Obsession challenge – Autumn colors.

Here is my card.

For this card I went with layers. Lots of layers. The base is yellow and white paint with a few drops of Color Shine. Next, I stamped splatters and grunge circle. I layered die cut tags and a circle with leaves. I used foam adhesive from Therm O Web to add dimension. I added die cut "thanks" for my sentiment and finished the card with pearls and twine.

{ 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. 

For this card I started stamping the background with Silhouette 15 (butterflies) in Peach ink.

I embossed a piece of vellum with tiny dots. The tag is die cut from patterned paper. I layered die cut tag with die cut "thanks".  I tucked in a little stamped striped image in orange ink. The butterflies are die cut from yellow cardstock: Fancy Butterfly and Medium Butterflies. I added an orange bow and enamel dots.

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). SHOP THE DEALS 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.

Here is my card. 

I just can't stop using those adorable Stitched Flower Bouquet. I die cut them from pink, white and green cardstock. Hello is die cut from white cardstock, same as the card base. I used Therm O Web Zots to adhere the small elements and 3D foam adhesive to pop up some of the other elements. I die cut Stitched Tag from vellum and tucked it under the flowers. 

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.

{ Thanks card with Maya Road }

Hello and happy Wednesday. I have a blog post today on Maya Road Blog.

Our focus this June is CHIPBOARD and we have a special going on all month. Make sure you visit the store and use coupon code CHIPCHIP to get 30% off all chipboard.

For my card today I used Mixed Scallop Mini Triangle Banner. I love using chipboard just as is. In this case I used it as a base for my flower bouquet.

I stamped the images using Rose Garden Sentiments Stamp Set and then I fussy cut them. Aren't they beautiful I just love that stamp set. The card base is made up of bits and pieces of patterned paper. The Mixed Scallop Mini Triangle Banner has two holes in it that I thread Twine Cording - Blackberry through and tied it into a bow. I tucked Vintage Pearl Pins - Hot Pink through the center.

The center flower is adhered to the card 3D foam squares for dimension. It gives it a little lift so it appears to be hanging over the chipboard banner. I added enamel dots from my stash mimicking some of the colors in the card. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set to the bottom right of the card using black ink.

Click on the photo and it will take you to all the flowers. Use coupon code CHIPCHIP.

{ Impression Obsession DT challenge – Unlayered }

Hi and welcome to our  Impression Obsession challenge – Unlayered.

Here is a set of cards I created using Impression Obsession stamps, dies and Therm O Web Deco Foil. The challenge was less than 3 layers. This one is debatable. It’s a pretty simple card.

 
For many of us this is National Teacher Appreciation week along with this Saturday being National Nurse’s Day.  Since both professions involve being caregivers of our children and loved ones it seems fitting we recognize them both! Thank you cards are perfect for anyone at any time.

I used a simple design on each card alternating colors and sentiments.

The big sentiments are die cut using Thanks die and Special die and then foiled via the laminator.

I used Thanks and Special stamp sets for the sentiments. The triangles are from Really Useful Stamps set that were heat embossed using white embossing powder.

If you would like to see more photos or step by step instructions I created a blog post on Therm O Web blog.

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 May 4 – May 17. A winner will be chosen randomly to win a $25 gift certificate to the Impression Obsession store.

Make sure you check out what the rest of our DT created.

I hope you play along.

{ Impression Obsession DT challenge – Quick Christmas Cards }

Hi and welcome to our  Impression Obsession challenge – Quick Christmas cards.

I need several Christmas thank you cards for some of my friends. I thought I would use my Misti to mass produce several using the same design. This was super easy. I used one ink for the images and then black for the sentiment and a stripe at the top. I added gold washi to all the cards and then added a colored cardstock base.

This would be a great gift for a dear friend or a family member.
