Making Waves - IO Theme - Summer

The Impression Obsession Theme this month is summer!

 All of the HOT new summer-themed stamps and dies can be found HERE!

First up, I am featuring the new cover-a-card rubber stamp, Waves.  I inked the background in Baby Blue, Peacock, and Ocean IO Inks.  I added dolphins from the new Dolphins Die set.  Lastly, I used the sentiment from the Enjoying the View set. 

I am having a blast with the new By the Sea paper pack.  Stay tuned because more paper packs are headed to the IO store!  The IO ink stamps beautifully on the paper with no smearing!  I stamped the Hello Summer from the stamp set by the same name.  Then I stamped the shells with the Solid Shells stamp set and die cut from the Coordinating Dies.   

We hope you will stop by the Impression Obsession Blog and check out all the Summer Themed projects created by the team!  

  We haven't really done anything summer-themed this year, have you? 

Thanks so much for stopping by!  

 

Speedy Fox & Friends - Masculine Birthday

If it's Saturday it must be Speedy Fox & Friends challenge time!  Our challenge this week is to make a masculine birthday card.  You can join us HERE to enter your masculine birthday card.   I loved making this card.   I  masked off part of the Mark's Finest Papers a Heinrich Co.: Island Life,  using  only the boat and the land part of the stamp.   I stamped the sailboat a 2nd time and cut it out so that I could pop it up for some dimension.  The mast extended past my die cut so I cut the tip out and glued it behind the framelits die.  If you look closely you can see the sail was popped up too!

I forgot to take a photo of the inside before I wrote in it.  On the inside I stamped the entire sailboat stamp and added the sentiment stamp: HE ALONE STRETCHES OUT THE HEAVENS AND TREADS ON THE WAVES OF THE SEA. - Job 9:8
