IMPRESSION OBSESSION- SEASONS GREETINGS!

Join the IO Team and play along in the Season Greetings Challenge for a chance to win a $25 Impression Obsession gift certificate. Just use IO stamps or dies and link up! You don't have to have a blog to play! 
For more challenge info you can go here to the IO Blog.

Seasons Greetings from the DT


I was so excited when I saw the Small Cabin die. I knew that it would be fun to use in a pop-up holiday box!
Have you heard about the precut boxes from the Paper Cut? They take all the guess work out of making these boxes...no more measuring or scoring!


IO came out with four different landscapes dies. I've used the, Hill Layers, Mountain Layers and Tree Layers. 

The Small Deer were edged with Creamy Brown Cat's eye. 
One of my favorite winter trims is the Pine Sprig Cluster and the Fir Sprig Cluster. These dies are great for adding that little extra something onto a project!
The gingham was made using the Gingham Texture stamp. Seasons Greetings is from the Holiday Bottom Word Edgers.

Birds eye view!

Here is a quick card using the, "Most Wonder Time" stamp.
It's been framed with the All-in-One Oval Frames.
The embellishments are from the Pine Sprig Cluster and Holly Flourish.

 Thanks for looking and hope to see your design in the Season's Greeting challenge!

Designing holiday cards and being Merry...what could be better!

I'm playing along with Art Impressions this week and entering my card in their Be Merry Challenge 172
Be sure to head over to the Ai Blog and take a look at all the Merry designs in their 2015 Christmas release.


You can't help but to be merry when you receive a fun card stamped with this image.
This little cheerful gal has been colored with Copics, shined up with Viva Gloss Gel and sprinkled with sugar!


Her hands, corsage, glasses, and jingle bells have been fussy cut and raised with foam tape for dimension.
I added a few spots on her fur coat for fun.

See how the IODT give thanks!


I needed a fast and easy project this week! 
The Pumpkin with Text was used for the main image. I stamped it first and then masked the pumpkin with Eclipse tape. Tangy Orange ink was used to stamp on the Grunge Building Borders along the bottom.
Always Thankful! The sentiment used is from the wonderful collection, Be Grateful.


  Brown ink was stamped onto the orange paper with the Gingham Cover-a-Card making this sweet design.


Cityscapes, Landscapes and Friend-scapes! I adore the House Collage Set by Dina Kowal.
I had fun  stamping with different colored inks and arranging...so many possibilities!
I used the same border again from Grunge Building Borders.
 Love Lines has it all to be thankful for: family, memories, faith, love and friends!
