I Adore You

It's time for a new Art Nudge Challenge—with a chance to win a prize! 

Are you ready for some creative fun? Our latest Art Nudge Challenge is here, and if you upload your project, you might just win an exciting prize! 

 I took inspiration from Art Nudge #125B, using its delightful theme and color combo. While I included most of the colors from the chart, I skipped orange and let the other shades take center stage.

Let me introduce you to this adorable Raggedy Bunny from Sweet Miss Daisy Designs. Isn’t it the sweetest? Good news—this little cutie should be in the shop by the end of next week! The snowmen stamp sets and Worn Dots paper are back in the store now!

For my card, I started by stamping the fun hearts border randomly to create a cheerful vibe. Next, I stamped the cute bunny front and center and added a little tag featuring the heart from the same set. One of my favorite things about Anna’s designs is the small embellishment stamps she includes in her sets. They’re perfect for adding those little finishing touches that make your project extra special.

Now it’s your turn! Grab your supplies, let the theme and colors from Art Nudge #125B inspire you, and create something wonderful. Don’t forget to share your project—and you just might win a prize! I can’t wait to see what you come up with.

Happy crafting!

 

Cozy Wishes, The Debut of a Sweet New Company, and Art Nudge Inspiration

Hello! Welcome to a special day on the blog. I am thrilled to be part of Sweet Miss Daisy's first Design Team! Seeing the new designs has been so exciting, and I know you will love them as much as I do. The January Release is now available at Sweet Miss Daisy Designs! 

 The stamp sets are the sweetest—the cards practically make themselves! I also adore the papers. If you’ve used Anna Wight’s patterned papers in the past, you’ll be happy to know these new paper packs are of the same high quality. The key difference is that they come as loose sheets, keeping them crisp since you don’t have to worry about bending them when tearing them out of a pad.

For my first card, I used the Cozy Wishes stamp set. Isn’t this snowman adorable? I love how Anna adds fun little extras to each set—in this case, an extra bit of holly. I fussy-cut the holly and added it as an embellishment to the sentiment. TI used a piece of patterned paper from the Worn Dots paper pack, and it’s absolutely spectacular!

Happy crafting, and I can’t wait to see what you create!

My next card features Charming. Isn’t he handsome? I created snowy hills for him and randomly stamped snowflakes in the sky. The background paper is from Mini Gingham. It was such a joy to work on this card!

 I’m also excited to announce a NEW Art Challenge with a chance to win a prize! This challenge first debuted as a Facebook group in 2020. You can now find it on the Art Nudge Blog, complete with a link to upload your cards.

I used the snowman theme and the orange accessories for both cards. 

I pop over to the Nudge to see what everyone makes; I hope to see you there!

Thanks for stopping by today! 

Fluffy Hugs

Big fluffy hugs on this third day of 2025! I am on the Pajama Crafter Stamps blog today with this adorable card!

This adorable penguin is from the Yeti Friends Stamp and Die Bundled set. It also includes a set of adorable penguin footprints and more!

Winter Delight and My Sweet Petunia Sticky Mats

 Hello! Today I am on My Sweet Petunia Blog with a crafty tip about Sticky Mats.  

I love using My Sweet Petunia Sticky Mats in my crafting projects. They’ve become an essential tool, especially when working with large cling stamps like the charming Penny Black Resting Picket Fence.

Stop by the blog for my Sticky Mat pro tip!

 Art Nudge #105 on Facebook inspired the image and coloring.  I made the little birds, Purple House Finches. These adorable birds bring joy to my day as I watch them out the window, so I couldn’t resist incorporating them on this card. I love the result—vibrant and heartwarming—just like the view outside!

A few of my favorite tools I use every day:

Black MISTI

Mini MISTI

Sticky Mat

Alignment Grids

Cut Align Ruler

Precision Glue Press

 

With Sympathy

This week, the F4All Challenge theme is "Anything Goes." I chose an easy challenge since this is such a hectic time of year. Sadly, I need a sympathy card. Despite the sadness behind the task, it allowed me to explore a new creative tool: the BetterPress system, which a dear friend gifted me for my birthday.

The Betterpress impression adds rich color and a touchable impression with just one pass through a die-cutting machine!

 I chose a simple yet elegant design that reflects warmth and thoughtfulness. The crisp lines and textured feel of the letterpress added depth to the message I wish to share.

I hope this card brings a small sense of solace to the recipient. 

Thanks for stopping by! 

A Sad Farewell to Impression Obsession

The incredible Impression Obsession Company has supplied the paper crafting community for 25 years! As a DT member, Mitra's generosity truly spoiled me!

Thank you, thank you for stopping by with sweet comments and shopping with my Impression Obsession links for the last five or six years! You have made my day again and again!  

I used the Thanks set to make this and it's only $4.80 while supplies last! 

A Big Thanks to you!  Also, the die used on this card!  

Many Thanks express how I feel and it is also the title of this fabulous stamp set!

Peace and Patterned Paper

Hello! It's the first day of the new month, so it's time for the SCS Fan Club Christmas Challenge. I used the beautiful Nativity Silhouette Die and the Christmas Words and Shadow Die from Pajama Crafter Stamps. I die-cut the Nativity from a floral piece of patterned paper for an artsy look and added the "Peace" sentiment. 

Wishing you peace as we head into the busiest time of the year! 

Thanks for looking!   

 

A Colorful Assortment for Designer's Choice

Hello!  Welcome to the Impression Obsession Designer's Choice Day.  I chose to feature an assortment of sweet sets still in the store.

As my first featured item today, I made a quick bookmark for my daughter-in-law! I used the Stitched Tag (still in the store!) This is such a pretty tag with a stitched topper!  Next, I stamped and colored Ivy Comfort.  I added a sheer white ribbon (which has disappeared in the photo) and that was it!  A beautiful tag or bookmark in minutes!  I used the Art Nudge #100 prompt for my theme and colors.    

 My first card showcases More Sweet Citrus, which includes cute puns, a lime, and a mandarin!

The next card showcases one of my favorite themes: art!  The darling Work of Art set features two cute girls, a paintbrush, a crayon, art splatters, and two sentiments!  And it's a steal with the deep closing sale discount!  

My last card features the Festive Forest!  This fun set is a crazy deal sold alone or as the Festive Forest Bundle with dies!  

Remember to see the 70% discount click on the item in the store and wait for the little sale tag to pop up on the right side of the page. The items I have posted today start at $3.00 with the most expensive set at $9.00!   

Thank you SO very much for stopping by and shopping at Impression Obsession with me over the years!  You are awesome!
