{ 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. 

These little rainbows have been popping up everywhere so I thought I would give them a try. These are hand painted using my watercolor pencils.  I die cut one of the Postage Cuts from vellum. The flowers are die cut from white cardstock and watercolored. "Thank you" is die cut from patterned paper.

Thank you

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.

{ 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 a card I created using Sweet Briar Rose, Hello Friend,  Painted Stripes and Spirals Cover-a-card background.

I stamped the background with Spirals Cover-a-card background using Impression Obsession ink. For the Sweet Briar Rose I used Watercolor to loosely paint the rose and then I fussy cut them out. I used  Therm O Web 3D foam adhesive fo dimension.

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.

{ Robbie Raccoon Stamp Set from Technique Tuesday }

Have you seen Robbie? Isn’t he adorable? He is our March addition to Animal House Collection. Here is a card I created.

I used  watercolor to color Robbie. I layered a few pieces of patterned paper and vellum. I added Nuvo Crystal Drops.

Although raccoons are jokingly referred to as "trash pandas" for stealing items they find, the only thing Robbie will run off with is your heart! The adorable Robbie Raccoon stamp set is filled with funny raccoon stamp sentiments for birthdays, friendship and thinking of you cards. Did you know the black masks that make raccoons look like outlaws actually help them see more clearly at night? When you color this raccoon stamp, be sure to include the signature black mask and maybe add some details to give a furry look. There's even a raccoon paw print stamp in this set so Robbie can leave a trail along the edge of your project.

Add the matching Robbie Raccoon crafting die to make scene stealing paper craft projects. Raccoon clear stamp set and die are sold separately.

• This set includes 12 clear stamps on a 4" x 6" storage sheet.

• These stamps were made in the USA using the highest-quality photopolymer. Unlike clear stamps made in Taiwan or China, Technique Tuesday stamps will create crisp, detailed stamped images and will last for many years.

Please visit Technique Tuesday for all new products and ideas. 

{ Impression Obsession DT Challenge – Flowers for Friends }

Hello and welcome to our Impression Obsession challenge – Flowers for Friends.

I added Crystal Nuvo Drops matching the colors of the card.

I hope you visit Impression Obsession blog and visit the Design Team to see what they created for this challenge.

{ Impression Obsession - Old Is New }

Hello and welcome to our first 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 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.

{ Impression Obsession DT challenge – Happy Colors! }

Hello and welcome to the our Impression Obsession challenge – Happy Colors!

Here is my card.

For this card I decided to try ink blocking using my Purple Tape from Therm O Web. I am so excited about how this turned out. I was looking through a magazine where I saw an example of this. Then I searched Pinterest for more examples. I have seen this done in cardmaking, but I have never tried it before.

I used three of my favorite colors: yellow, blue and pink. I blocked yellow at the top and bottom, adding Large Dots to the bottom. I stamped, watercolored and fussy cut the flowers from Floral Heart Set. I used 3D foam squares to add dimension. I layered die cut butterfly and heart under the flowers. I colored white cardstock with ink to match the colors in the card. 

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 July 5 – July 18 .
