{ Impression Obsession DT challenge–last minute Holiday gifts }

Hi and welcome to our  Impression Obsession challenge – last minute Holiday gifts. Our challenge starts today, December 18, and continues to the following Wednesday evening, December 24, at 10 PM.

Create a new project using  Impression Obsession stamps and post it on Impression Obsession Blog, between December 18-24. A winner will be chosen randomly to win a $25 gift certificate to the Impression Obsession store.

I created this shaker card ornament. This is similar to a shaker card I made, but much smaller.

I used the Rectangle 6-in-1 Frames die for the frame. The Evergreen Trees and Fir Trees were layered for the background. I added Sm. Deer to the front. Sm. Snowflake Set were cut for the background. Once again I used 3D foam strips from Therm O Web to layered the frame over the background patterned paper. It’s hanging in the tree and I love it.

That is all from me. Make sure you check out what the rest of our DT created.

I hope you play along.

Here is what I created with the December kit.

I was inspired by the stars on some of the journaling cards from the kit. I used a large star mask and color shine for the background.  Plus, those colors tied in with the colors in the photo background. This was taken last week right after his haircut. If you follow me on Instagram, then you have seen this one. I added punched star shapes, star sequins and star stamps from Warmest Wishes stamp set and North Pole stamp set. The colors are perfect and everything always works so well together.

{ Impression Obsession DT challenge–Clean & Simple Holiday cards }

Hi and welcome to our  Impression Obsession challenge – Clean & Simple Holiday cards !

Our challenge starts today, December 4, and continues to the following Wednesday evening, December 10, at 10 PM.

Create a new project using  Impression Obsession stamps and post it on Impression Obsession Blog, between December 4-10. A winner will be chosen randomly to win a $25 gift certificate to the Impression Obsession store.

This card took me less than five minutes to make. I should have timed myself. It took longer to find a sentiment that I wanted to use. Once all my supplies were ready, I was done in no time.

I have been wanting to use this Reindeer for a long time. Finally had a chance. I die cut him from this awesome pack of gold and silver foiled paper pack from DCWV that I found at Michaels and used my 40% off coupon.
 
I stamped the Wood Star on white cardstock and cut it out. The Reindeer is adhered over the star with 3D Foam Squares from Therm O Web. I stamped the December with the same ink and added “wishes” from Merry On in gold ink that I heat embossed.

That is all from me. Make sure you check out what the rest of our DT created.

I hope you play along.

{ CardMaker and Impression Obsession Blog Hop }

Welcome to the CardMaker and Impression Obsession Blog Hop!

Today the CardMaker Designers and the Impression Obsession Designers will be showing you some wonderful holiday projects featuring stamps and dies from Impression Obsession!

My card uses only dies. I didn’t have a plan, but I know I wanted to make a shaker card using the new Rectangle 6-in-1 Frames die. It’s one die that cuts 6 different frames. I adhered two of the largest ones together to make a frame. I added 3D foam strips from Therm O Web. They are perfect because I can cut them to any size.

I created my background scene with Tree Line Die that I cut several times and layered on top of each other using 3D foam strips from Therm O Web. Then I cut snowflakes using Sm. Snowflake Set. I adhered them to the Kraft cardstock background.

I die cut the sentiment Peace from blue cardstock and adhered it straight to the acetate window using Zots Adhesive Dots from Therm O Web.
