{ Impression Obsession DT challenge - Inchie Arts }

Hello and welcome to another Impression Obsession DT challenge. We have challenges every other week - DETAILS HERE - if you play you could win a $25 gift certificate to the Impression Obsession store.

This week we played with Inchies. They are so much fun. Did you know that they are available in 3 different sizes and 7 different colors!

Twinchie Squares, Inchie + Squares and Inchie Squares.

For my card I used Inchies from the Inchie Square assortment package. I stamped each Inchie Square with Cover-a-card Wood Grain (CC034). Then I stamped Sing Loudly (WP276) on the first two squares and the middle square. The last two were stamped with Believe Birds (WP277). I did add a touch of watercolor pencils to each image. I punched holes at the top and made a banner with Hemp cord.

 

The card background is stamped with Cover-a-card Splatter (CC059) and Glimmer Mist. The Journaling I note (WP165) is stamped over Cover-a-card Roses (CC043) that  I cut out.  I added October Afternoon and Sassafras Lass patterned paper and made the rose from crepe paper. The sentiment is from Mini Messages (MC176) stamp set.

I hope you'll take the time to visit the other designers' blogs for inspiration! Jeanne, Dina, Kathy, Laura, and Deborah.

{ Doily obsession }

Have you used a doily on your project lately? I have! I love them and they are everywhere. When I was in Croatia I saw these adorable doilies on Etsy.com form The Chip Chop Shop. My mom said she would make them for me!!!! Remember, she made me these flowers.

I love this Sweet Taffy Collection from Prima Marketing.

Here is my growing collection of doilies: Prima Marketing product packaging, Maya Road stamps and Doilie Transparency, Martha Stewart, Wilton, and adorable white doilies that my mom gave me.

Betsy Veldman had this awesome tutorial on how to stamp your own doilies using Papertrey Ink stamps. How fun is that!!! When I got home from my trip, I looked around my stamp collection to see how I can make something similar.

This is what I came up with...see the video. 

 YouTube video.

 Look around your own stash to see what you can use. If you don't have a circle stamp you can draw a circle any size and start from there.

Swiss Dot by Endless Creations
Flourish by Hampton Art (bought at Michaels)

 Here is a layout I created for a challenge at My Scrapbook Nook. I added my own stamped doilies. Photos are from our trip to the Arboretum this Spring.

I used My Mind's Eye and Cosmo Cricket patterned paper, Prima flowers, October Afternoon stickers, Jenni Bowlin butterfly, Elle's Studio tag.

Let me know if you have any questions. Link me to any doilies that are out there.

{ Impression Obsession DT challenge - Halloween shaker cards }

Hello and welcome to another Impression Obsession DT challenge. We have challenges every other week - DETAILS HERE - if you play you could win a $25 gift certificate to the Impression Obsession store.

 Did you know that Impression Obsession carries Shake It Pouches and Shake It Kits to make your own shaker cards?

I used Cover-a-card Lace (CC052) for my background. It looks like real lace!!! I used black ink to stamp on cream cardstock. I love the way it turned out.

Two inch circle pouch is filled with beads and "boo" stamped from Bump in the night (CL285)stamp set. I added orange crepe paper, Prima lace and Martha Stewart die cut lace tag. I used 2S4Y sketch for this card.

I hope you'll take the time to visit the other designers' blogs for inspiration!  Jeanne,   Dina,  Kathy, Julie and Jenny.
