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! I had so much fun creating with her fantastic stamps, dies, papers, inks, and stencils! Sadly, tomorrow, December 2nd, is the last day to shop. The store closes at midnight EST.

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!

There are still so many lovely things left in the Impression Obsession shop so stop by for one more look!  

Also, check out the Team farewells on the Impression Obsession Blog!  

 

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!

Happy Fall Watercolor

Hello!  It's Watercolor Wednesday at SCS and Brenda has chosen a striking tutorial for us to follow. I diverged from the path when I saw this week's FB Art Nudge Challenge. I changed the oval setting to a circle and changed the winter scene in the tutorial to a fall scene. I thoroughly enjoyed the tutorial. Perhaps at a later date, I can paint four seasons!  

The Watercolor Wednesday Challenge and the FB Art Nudge Challenges are free  and we would love to see your beautiful work at both challenges!  

The sentiment is from a pretty set called Fall Sentiments. Everything is 50% off at IO!  

Thanks so much for stopping by!  

 

Bright Colors - November IO Color Challenge

Hello! Jeanne has chosen a beautiful wildflower picture to inspire our Color Challenge this month. I had a lot of fun with the gorgeous Butterfly Garden stamp set. There is a solid butterfly, and a lined butterfly, so adding color to the butterflies is a snap! I love the sentiments in this set, they are perfect for friendship cards!

 I veered away from nature but showcased the bright pink of the flower and the green of the stems from the photo inspiration for my next card!  I couldn't help sharing this yummy cookie card! I have had a blast, making cookie cards with the many variations IO produced. The Sugar Cookie is the last in the line and it's the only one left in the store. The Sprinkles and Confetti Stamp Set coordinates beautifully with the cookie!

Winter Charms & More - Christmas Card Hop Day 2

Hello and welcome to the second day of the IO Christmas Hop!  Today I am sharing two very different card styles.  The first one is mostly die cuts.  Unfortunately, these cute CHARMS are almost sold out with only 6 in stock.  I have loved using them as embellishments on my cards. The JOY sentiment is from the Fall Sentiments set.  The bright Christmas paper is from the Christmas Doodles paper pack and it's a steal with the discount!  

The next card features the Cup of Holly Jolly stamp set. In this set, you'll find a variety of images that can be added to the top of the cup or stamped onto the cup itself.  I made a gift cup set with a stuffed Santa in the cup and a ribbon around the cup!

Bring Your Own Sunshine - Designer's Choice

Hello! It's Designer's Choice day at Impression Obsession and I have chosen the lovely Sunflower Season stamp set.

In my early childhood, we lived in Kansas. I fondly remember walking to and from school and seeing all the pretty sunflowers peeping over fences. My sister recently moved closer to our childhood state and now grows sunflowers! I didn't realize that we both shared a love of sunflowers.

Here is what I used to show off my love for sunflowers.

Halloween Fun - IO Halloween Hop Day 2

Welcome to Day 2 of the Halloween Hop! 

Today I am featuring Halloween Fun paper! I used the adorable Thermos and Mugs set for the cup die. I placed the dies on the paper so the skulls would be the focal point of the cups. Viola! I made Halloween cups from a Thermos die! (only 4 sets left in the store!) I used a Stitched Slimline Layer as a layering piece in the background. This die set and the Stitched Slimline Layers 2 are perfect for adding layers to Slimline and A2 designs!

There are now deeper discounts on most items in the store!  

Shop HERE for festive Fall goodies!

Once again, I used the Halloween Fun paper in the background for this cute pumpkin kitty. The kitty is from the Jack O' Kitty set, and there are Matching Dies for this set! The spider and web are from the Creepy Kitty set and have a Matching Die set!

Lastly, Ghouls just wanna have fun! I used a Rounded Corner Sentiments 1 to create a shelf for a monster to hang from. This cute Monster Set also has a Matching Die set!
