IMPRESSION OBSESSION CHALLENGE!

HAPPY THURSDAY & HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

It's a wonderful and very busy time of the year! We are squeezing in one last challenge before 2018. The theme is Anything Goes so...no excuse for not playing along! Just create using IO products for a chance at winning an Impression Obsession $25 Gift Certificate. You can see at the details on the IO Blog.

Before I forget...
We are sad to be saying goodbye to an incredibly talented DT member, Chris Dayton. Totally understand that family always comes first. We will miss you! 

Happy News...
We welcome a new DT member, Giovana Smith!



This season I seem to be saying the same thing, fast and easy!
Made with IO's JOY FRAME DIE, this shaker card is just that!
The die was cut first in the gold Mirricard. I ran the die a second time using only the ornament and cutting it in red. To add a little interest, I added gold Rainbow Tape along the embossed lines on the ornament. Acetate was adhered to the back side of the frame.
Foam tape was then placed around the edge of the frame.


The BG is a white Stardream paper that has been embossed with a holly and berry embossing folder. A few red sequins and clear beads were added into the popped up frame. Easy shaker card!

I love working with Mirricard paper for cards except when it comes to photographing!
It's very hard to get the true colors and not show any shadows! 

Thanks for looking and Happy Holidays.
See you next year!

Anything goes from the IODT

IMPRESSION OBSESSION DT THURSDAY

 Design Team Thursday with Impression Obsession.

 Today I am sharing with you a cascading card featuring the Merry Penguin and Holiday Home Set. With a few cuts and score marks the base is easy to make. But today, I have used one that is pre-cut and scored from The Paper Cut! Even easier!
To dress the base up I added a bright red paper to frame the knit pattern. The inside layers were embossed with a snowfall design. 


Oh what fun it is!
These cute little guys were stamped with IO Black Hybrid Ink and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  
I love the igloo being used as their backdrop!


The Merry Penguin Set has several different add ons that you can don them in! 
These clear sets also have matching dies...yippee!


Birds eye view of the layers!

Today I will be sharing two cards.


This bright and cheerful holiday card was made using three ornaments from Lindsay Ostrom. First I stamped and colored the images with Copics. Next I pierced small holes at the top of the ornament and then at the bottom of the letters. To give the idea that the ornaments are hanging, I ran silver metallic thread through the holes. This simple card is finished off with Clear Wink of Stella, Glossy Accents and a few tiny bows that were tied using a baby fork!

The adorable gingham penguin was stamped with IO Black Hybrid Ink and then heat embossed in clear. The tree shaped shaker card was made using the Christmas Tree Cutout die. Diamond Dust was used inside the shaker.
