{ Impression Obsession - Old Is New }

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.


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.

Have a great Monday.

{ Impression Obsession - Old Is New }

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!

Today I created a Memerydex card. 


Impression Obsession supplies:

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.

I hope you visit Impression Obsession blog and visit the Design Team to see what they created with old stamps.

Let me know if you have a favorite older stamp set.

Have a great Monday.
