The inside of the card has a strip of 1/8" Gold Metallic tape.

IO- THANKSGIVING WISHES


Happy Thursday and happy November!
Would you like the chance to win a $25 Impression Obsession Gift Certificate just in time for the holidays? Play along in the Thanksgiving Wish challenge! It's easy, just use IO stamps/dies and create! You don't need a blog to play. All the guidelines can be found on the IO Blog.

Thanksgiving Wishes from the IO girls!



The Patchwork Leaves were die cut and then stamped with Mini Patterns 1 and Mini Patterns 2. I love the detailed stitching on the leaves and acorn. 
For the stamping I used ink that was a little darker that the color of the card stock. There are three different patterns to a set and there are four different sets. This is a great way to get pattern paper the perfect color for your design!
Give Thanks was die cut out of the natural Neenah. It was die cut again in the brown. This was inlaid back into the negative area on the Neenah.



Inside I have used a quote that is in the Be Grateful cling set.
I trimmed the bottom by stamping the Leafy Border. This is a great stamp to use on the outside of envelopes.

Thanks for looking!

Jingle All The Way!
The Jingle Bell was stamped once in Memento ink. That stamped image was then masked and a new bell was stamped overlaying the first one. I repeated the masking on both bells and stamped a third. They were then colored with Copics. For some texture I brushed on some Wink of Stella, Glossy Accents and used two different fabrics; gold thread and silk.


Inside the card I have stamped Jingle All the Way and the Jingle Bell image.  
Papers used are from Photo Play 6x6 Holiday Cheer, Neenah 110 and Desert Storm and a HW Bazzill.

RAINBOW TAPE - HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

TRICK OR TREAT!

Love those thin lines you can get with  Rainbow Tape!
I have used the 1/32" in black for the tiny edge around the lavender paper.
A single line of tape was also used along the bottom of the white layer to anchor her.


There is a whole lota shaken going on here!
Mr. P. Umpkin and the bats, Bart and Ben were colored with Copics an fussy cut. Trick or Treat was die cut in HW Bazzill. The BG layer die cut that I used to make the shaker is Story Book 2 from PPP.

For more inspiration using Rainbow Tape, check out all of the designs on the Hobby Tape Blog! Like us on FB too!

IMPRESSION OBSESSION-BLOG HOP DAY 2!


Welcome back for day two of the Fall/ Winter Die Blog Hop!
Today's Hop will feature Halloween.
The hop will run for three days (10/24/16 - 10/26/16). Visit the IO Design Team's Blog for a chance to win one of THREE $25 IO Gift Certificates!

Lets see what treats the IODT has for you today!
Here I have used two new die sets. 
Love, love, love the Adapt-A Background dies.
The Bead Adapt-A Background used on this card is the same one as I used yesterday!
Totally different look!
Just think of all the great designs you can create with these dies!


I took the Bead Adapt-A Background and cut it in the purple polka dot paper.   If you look closely, you can see where I cut out some of the beaded strips of purple dotted paper and where I left some in. 
The beaded strips were also cut in black. The black beaded strips were inlayed into the  negative part where the purple had been. This created a fun background design for the Bat with Sign.


Inside my card I used some of the beaded strips that were cutouts from the original BG. Bats About You was stamped in Versafine.

Thanks for looking, see you tomorrow for Day 3!

I have used four wonderful new dies to make this card.
Staring with the Bead Adapt-a-Background die. By leaving the die cut intact, it creates a subtle texture bg. Tomorrow I have a card showing it used in a different way!
The Patchwork Ornaments were die cut in pattern Christmas paper and the hangers were cut in gold mirror. Love the stitching on these! 
The tops of the ornaments were embellished with pine sprigs from the Wreath Builder die set and gold thread bows.
The font on the Joy die is so elegant and cuts beautifully...like butter!

Thanks for looking and see you back tomorrow for Day 2!
