There are so many ways to use the Mittens and Stockings Die Set! I had fun using stamps and die cuts to create this scene. I stamped the sentiment and the snowflakes from the Alphabet Words Winter stamp set. The stars are from the super cute Primitive Snowman set I featured yesterday. I also tucked some Winter Foliage behind the sentiment strip.  The nice long sentiment strip is from the Rounded Corner Sentiments 2 set. 

Next, I am sharing the sweet Home for the Holidays set. I added snowflakes from the And Snow It Goes set for extra snowy goodness! The background paper is from Christmas Prayer.  

I had a lot of fun using non-traditional colors for this Christmas card, and the Christmas Prayer Paper Pack is stunning. The sweet snowman is from the For You stamp set.  I added fun Hearts for embellishment. I also used Rounded Rectangle 1.

Merry Making - September IO Release

Hello, welcome to day 1 of the September Release! I am excited to share cards featuring amazing products, but it's also sad because this is the last Impression Obsession Release. You will want to grab anything you love! The Closing sale is still happening and includes NEW items. Shop HERE!

I am in love with this Snowman in Scarf! He is a dashing fellow in his handsome scarf. The die includes large and small circles for making a mouth and eyes, but I skipped the small "coal" and went with two large "coal" eyes! The sentiment is from the super sweet For You stamp set and I used the Let It Snow paper pack in the background.

Next, I made a fun card with the super sweet Gingerbread With Heart. My mother-in-law loves gingerbread creations, so this will head to MN for the holidays! I love that this has cute blush circles for the face and peppermint candy embellishments! The sentiment is from Gingerbread Kisses and is deliciously perfect on its own or paired with any gingerbread die-cut! I also used the Stitched Tag and Rounded Corner Sentiments 2. I selected a piece of paper from the Gingerbread Paper pack for the background. The Gingerbread Paper pack has adorable designs for gingerbread lovers!  

This Primitive Snowman has such a fun look! I love the long scarf and the sweet heart! I stamped the background with the Winter Hello stamp set and used Snowman Sayings for the sentiment. Next, I die-cut the scarf and heart from the Nordic Patterns Paper pack. Last, I made snowy hills with Edges 2.

Snowy Trees

It's September first, so it's time for a new Fan Club Christmas Challenge! 

 Inspiration struck when I opened my box of goodies from Pajama Crafters Stamps! The cool triangular-shaped Tree called to me! I altered the patterned paper trees by brushing on pen-white ink. Next, I made snow banks with the Scalloped Border Die. The sentiment is Christmas Words with Shadows.  

Thanks for stopping by!  

 

A Cat for Team Favorites, I mean, It's. A. Cat!

I mean, it's a cat, of course, it would make my Team Favorites! 

This stamp set is called Pumpkin Cat and comes with 3 sweet sentiments.   :)  

  

Next, I am featuring the super cute Backpack Die.  This backpack is a great size for a tag or card element. It's super versatile as it works, for a teacher, back-to-school, or a hiker! There are only 6 left in the store so if you love it, grab it plus it's discounted!  I made little backpack pockets from the Ease Into Fall paper pack. The sentiment is from the super cute Apple for Teacher stamp set.  The set has a solid apple image, a line drawing, six sentiments, and several cute faces! I also used the elegant Tag with Lace.

All About the Fall

For the F4All this week, we are using Autumn Colors as inspiration for our projects.  

I used the beautiful new Fall Foliage set and Fall Phrases.  The background paper has sunflowers and is from the Sunflower paper pack.  

There are just 6 Fall Phrases left in the store so if you love it, grab it now. The products listed above are included in the closing sale.

 

Creative Rainbow

Hello!  The Watercolor Wednesday Challenge at SCS is being hosted by me this week, and we are painting rainbows.

I stamped the cute Colorado Craft Co. mouse and helped him paint a rainbow!  

Thanks for looking!

 

Autumn Greetings - IO August Color Challenge

Hello! I am featuring a sweet Fall set, Alphabet Words - Fall. I just love the dotted wind and beautiful cursive sentiments. I added distressed Leaves to the design. If you follow my blog you know I use the Crazy Stitched set all the time!  There are just 4 left in the store, so if you love it, I urge you to grab it now. 

The other die set I use often is the Rounded Corner Sentiments 2 set. It's perfect for sentiments with a shorter height. The set includes 6 dies of varying lengths.   

It's always fun to make a quick card!  It couldn't be easier than a beautiful piece of paper and a sentiment.  I used a Sunflower stamp set for the sentiment.

Happiness is... MISTI and Waffle Flower

Hello! Welcome to the MISTI and Waffle Flower Collaboration IG Hop!  

You can find all the HOP Details HERE on IG!

I had a delightful time using Waffle Flower products and MISTI products together.  

I love books and coffee, so I fell in love with this set! There are so many ways to use the Postage Collage Die! I had a blast stamping the animals onto the sides of the collage die for this project. 

For my next card, I placed a Sticky Mat in the MISTI and a piece of cardstock. Next, I pressed The Postage Collage Fall Stencil onto the Sticky Mat. The Sticky Mat held the stencils in place with no need for tape or sprays. Last, I divided the collage into individual stamps and made a festive autumn pattern.

Hugh B. Next - IO Halloween Theme Day

Hello and welcome to this month's Halloween Theme Day!

Today's card features the new Zombie Treats stamp set. I like how the tombstone images perfectly fit the punny sentiments. This set makes Halloween cards a snap to make! 

First, I made spooky green clouds with the Clouds Grass Scene Stencil. Next, I stamped the image. I included a piece of paper from Monster Prints for the background and used the Crazy Stitched Set for the image layer. 

Stop by the Impression Obsession Blog for a look at all the spooky Theme Day team projects.

Fall Fun - IO August Release Hop Day 3

Hello and welcome to the last day of the Impression Obsession August Release Hop!  Today I am featuring some of the beautiful Fall items new this month. 

This post can't contain all the fantastic new items for August, so click HERE to see everything new!

 I enjoyed randomly stamping and coloring the leaves from the Leaves and Feathers stamp set. The sentiment is from the Alphabet Words - Fall stamp set. It's such a sweet set, I used it many times this month!  I also used the Crazy Stitched Set and Rounded Corner Sentiments 2 set.

I love the new Our Patch stamp set. I kept it simple with bright colors, the Cloud Grass Stencil, and the Edgers Stencil.  I also used the Crazy Stitched Set and Rounded Rectangle Layers.

It's just not Fall without pumpkin everything! I again used the Alphabet Words - Fall stamp set for the image and sentiment.

I also used papers from Halloween and Monster Colors paper packs. The dies are Scalloped Banners, Shaker Tags, Crazy Stitched Set, and Rounded Corner Sentiments 2.

My last card features a beautiful new die.  The leaves stay connected to the Oak Frame after die cutting.  I snipped the leaves on one side and gently rolled them away from the frame for more dimension. The background and the top layer papers are from Fall Damask and the sentiment is from Fall Sentiments.

How About Them Apples - IO August Release Hop Day 2

Welcome to day 2 of the Impression Obsession August Release! This month IO has fun back-to-school items plus much more!

 First, I am sharing this yummy apple card. I inlaid the small apple by centering the small apple die on the large apple die cut. Next, I die cut a small apple from white paper. I also used the small and large leaves included in the Apples Die Set. I love the fact that this set contains two different apple sizes! The background is from the Back To School paper pack. I also used the Rounded Rectangle 2 and Rounded Rectangle Layers.  The sentiment is from the super sweet Apple for Teacher set.

This post can't contain all the fantastic new items for August, so click HERE to see everything new!

I had a lot of fun with this large Backpack Die set, Sunflower Die set, and Sunflower paper! The backpack serves for back-to-school, teacher, or hiking projects! I stamped the sentiment from Fall Phrases on the label from the Tag with Labels set. I also used a Stitched Slimline Layer to add interest to the background.

Let's get spooky with my last card! The background paper is from the Monster Prints paper pack. Then, I used the cute Mummy and Frank stamp set and stamped them on a Rounded Rectangle 2 layer. You know I love the cat, mummy! You'll love this set with its fun webs, Frank, mummies, and adorable spiders. Almost too cute to spook!

Happy Monstering - IO August Release Hop

Hello and welcome to the August Impression Obsession Release Hop!  

This first day is all about the August monsters! Please stop by all three days since there is a wide variety of beautiful products this month!  

This post can't contain all the fantastic new items for August, so click HERE to see everything new!

The new Layered Candy Corn Stencil is so much fun to use. This is a 3-layer stencil set that makes a fantastic background. I made a blue monster with the Fuzzy Monster 2 Die and l placed him on a Rounded Rectangle 1 layer. I used the Monster Colors Paper pack for monster body parts. Isn't it fun that the paper looks like fur?! Using the Little Monster stamp set, I stamped the sentiment on the Speech Bubble.    

This sentiment cracked me up! The Zombie Treats set includes two tombstones and several punny sentiments to stamp on them! The background paper is from the black and white paper pack, Monster Prints. I also used the fun "eek" from the Word Charms Die set and a circle from the Small Tags Die.  

This month's release is not just about monsters, we have back-to-school, Fall sets, and much more! I used the Apple for Teacher stamp set on this last card. I stamped the apple and had fun coloring.  The sentiment is included in the set and I stamped it on a Small Tag.  I used a deep turquoise-blue base and Woodgrain Frame in contrast to the bright red of the apple

This card is also for this week's F4ALL Challenge at Splitcoaststampers.
