Savor Every Moment - IO April Release Hop

Hello everyone!  Impression Obsession has a fantastic April Release!  I will jump right into it but check out the hop details below!

The sweet Baby Elephant is new this month. The elephant image is adorable, and I love the coordinating Baby Elephant die set.  I used the new Circles Stencil that fits the Petite Scalloped Circles for the background. My color choices were inspired by the colors and patterns in style when my children were babies. I used the dark plaid from the Basic Plaids Paper Pack for layering.

Still feeling in a circle mood, I made this card featuring the new Inverted Scalloped Circle and the Enjoy Life stamp set.  I used Classic Pooh Paper for the top layer, then created a scene inside the circle with the Clouds Grass Scene Stencil. Finally, I fussy cut the bird and placed it on the Bare Branch Die set to finish the scene.

Also, new this month are three different honeycomb stencils and a cute Sweet as Honey Stamp set. For this project, the Honeycomb stencil was used to create the background. Next, the Sweet as Honey Die set was used to die-cut the adorable honey jars, which were then placed on the Heart Shelf. 

The new stamps, stencils, and papers offer endless possibilities for crafting.

Bear & Company - Impression Obsession Day 1 Release & Hop

Welcome to the January Impression Obsession Release, everyone! With so much to share, we are devoting an extra day this month to the Release, so be sure to stop back by tomorrow and Wednesday! 

If you want to check out all that's new for January, stop by HERE.

I used the gorgeous Hundred Acre Wood background stamp for my first card; it creates a lovely background for the new Jointed Pooh. I enjoyed creating this adorable Jointed Pooh Bear! To complete the card, I added a Pooh Pleasures sentiment on a Rounded Corner Sentiment 2 layer.

Next up is this cute card showcasing Childhood Friends on a Heart Shelf. I will be using this lovely Heart Shelf for many different projects in the future. I used a Circle Stencil from one of the four new geometric stencil sets that were released this month to add a warm glow around the plush toys. Also, the background paper is from the Pooh paper pack, and the sentiment is from Pooh Pleasures.

I have another adorable bear card to share, but it is not Pooh Bear this time. Introducing this sweet Big Hugs Bear! Not only does Big Hugs Bear offer giant hugs, but he can also assist with birthday celebrations! :) I added a 2 from the Numbers Die Set to celebrate the birthday child. 

One side of each of the new geometric stencils features intricate edges for adding pretty borders. I grounded the bear using one of the Rectangles Set's edges. Lastly, I stamped a sentiment from Bear Sayings on a Jumbo Pinked Stitched Sentiment Banner. I love how wide these jumbo banners are—wide enough to fit a variety of sentiments! Lastly the background paper and the 2 are cut from the Forest Floor Paper Pack. 

Thanks for stopping by!

A Season Away!

*Affiliate links used when possible with no charge to you!*

Hello! It's just a season away, hang on! 

 Shirley has invited us to create a card with the theme: Taller than You and Me for the Free 4 All Challenge. Mountains are definitely taller than me!  

This was fun and easy to create.  The Snow-Capped Mountains create a wonderful landscape.  I added the Resilience sentiment and a bit of ink blending with my Life Changing Blender Brushes and done!  

I am also using the Art Nudge #59 colors and the inspiration photo.  The inspiration photo is a compass which is needed if you are headed to the mountains!

Pictured below is what I used to create this card.  Clicking the photo will take you straight to the store where it's sold.

   

 

Lost in the Right Direction

I am hosting the Free 4 All Challenge at SCS this week along with my friend, Janine.  Janine suggested taking inspiration from a celebration day that might not be familiar to some, Guy Fawkes Day.  Come join us, it's free to play and totally free to register and have your own gallery!

  Guy Fawkes Day is all about lighting up the night, so some suggestions are fireworks, candles, campfire, stars. lanterns, bonfire. I went with an outdoor adventure card.  Our son bought his first tent this week and plans on a short getaway this weekend. My husband couldn't be more proud.  :)  I will see if I can sneak this into his camping gear.  :)

I heat embossed the Stars then dunked the cardstock in watery ink until I was happy with the sky.  The fire is from a fun die set that includes a stick and a hot dog! I die cut the Grass Border from black cardstock because everything looks black at night by firelight!  The Sentiment is from Camping with Bigfoot set and was die-cut with the label that comes with the Stitched Tag #5.  

I would love to know if you have ever camped and if you like it.

I think the Horse Vignette Slim Scene is absolutely stunning so I kept it simple by masking a moon and ink blending the sky.  The sentiment is from Card Sentiments and it fits beautifully on a Rounded Corner Sentiment Die.  I really like the long thin shapes of this die set for sentiments!   

 I created a quirky Slimline with the wonderfully detailed Graveyard Scene in the background. Next, I decked out the Llama, the Cat, and the Wirehair Terrier in Critter Costumes!  I think the costumes are a hoot and so fun that they can be added to any Critter you might already have.  Lastly, I added a sentiment from the Cat Trio set.  

With this card, I am also joining in the fun of celebrating this week's Featured Stamper at SCS!

Outdoor Adventuring

Today on the Free 4 All Challenge at SCS, Jeanne is asking for outdoor adventure cards! My husband and I love outdoor adventures.  We have two places just 45 minutes away (in different directions) that we just love to camp at. Every camping trip feels like a grand adventure! We took our kids on so many outdoor adventures when they were young.  It's almost a little bit hard now to go back to those same places and "remember when" so we are really glad to have one State Park that they have never been to!  Now it's back to just my husband and me and we are making new adventures!   

For my card, I heat embossed the Stars Background, then inked the sky.  Next, I used the really cool new Cloud Border Dies to make one long cloud.  I stamped and colored the Chairs in bright red and lastly, I added Adventure Awaits to the clouds.  

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  If you haven't checked out the IO May Favorite Post with a chance to win a prize there is still plenty of time. You can click HERE for that post!
