Two More Adorable Die-Cutting Ideas for All Occasion Cards {New from Impression Obsession}

It's the third and final day of this month's Impression Obsession blog hop, and it's been so much fun sharing new card making ideas and goodies with you! If you're not convinced that you need the new Large Postage Stamp dies and Small Tag dies yet . . . give me one more shot. (I warned you that I had LOTS of cards to share with you this week!)

On day 1 of our blog hop, I shared ideas using the postage stamp dies to create a background. And then on day 2, I shared ideas for clean and simple collage-style cards. Today's cards are somewhere in between! 

The pink card above features a simple background of postage stamps, embellished with the Tiny Tag Sentiments stamp set. It has adorable tiny images that were fun to make a floral background on two of the rectangles. Then, the postage frames became the perfect landing spot for shaped tags and sentiments.

And last but not least, paired with the Heart Gingham 6x6 Paper Pack, I took two tags, and one postage frame to frame the tags. ;) Impression Obsession is releasing new patterned papers that just keep getting cuter and cuter every month! I'm in love with the bright colors, and sweet prints.

I'm so glad you've been blog hopping with us this week. If you missed Day 1 or Day 2, head on back for lots more inspiration!

Two Clean and Simple Collage-Style Card Ideas {New From Impression Obsession}

Hello, friends! As promised, I'm back with more adorable Postage Stamp die-cutting cards with the new release from Impression Obsession. I have always been drawn to clean and simple cards, with just a bit of a collage-feel. As soon as I saw these stamps and dies, I knew they'd be perfect for that look!

On the card above, I used the two-postage stamp die. The inner rectangles cut out on these dies, giving you the option to pair two colors together, or like you'll see below, just using the outer piece as a frame. 

The postage elements in the Happy Mail stamp set are perfect for adding some layers and details to a collage-style card. Here's a TIP: To maintain a clean and simple style on a collage card, balance your layers with lots of white space to keep it from becoming cluttered.  

Did you know that Impression Obsession sells ink pads? They offer full size ink pads, as well as my favorite - the adorable Ink Cubes (which come in sets of three, or the whole assortment.)  I used some gorgeous shades of purple ink on these cards. 

This week we're celebrating the latest release at Impression Obsession with a three-day blog hop. Today is Day 2. If you missed yesterday, be sure to pop over HERE for my post with cards that coordinate with today's projects (and yet are totally different at the same time!) I hope you'll hop around and see what all the designers have been creating for you - and join us for one more day tomorrow!

Check Out the Cute New Postage Stamp and Tag Dies at Impression Obsession!

Friends, it's new release day at Impression Obsession and I cannot stop with the adorable Postage Stamp and Small Tags die sets (as well as their coordinating stamp sets.) Get ready, because I've got cards for days featuring these die sets. I love a product that works all year long, no matter the occasion - we're going to get LOTS of use from these new versatile products. Ready to take a look?!

On both of today's cards, I used the Large Postage Stamps dies as a background. (Guess what? Tomorrow I'll show you a different way to use them!) This die set comes with two postage stamps attached to each other, as well as two individuals. And when you die-cut these, it cuts the center rectangles out -which makes it fun and simple to match different colored centers with edges. 

On the card above, I stamped images from the NEW coordinating Happy Mail stamp set onto some of the rectangles, added some twine, and a sentiment tag to finish it off. 

On the next card, I attached the postage stamps on an angle, mixed and matched again, and added a sentiment, layered circles, and the sweet Sketchy Inside Out Heart die. I love the happy colors on these cards, but there are so many possibilities for color combos that would give these cards a totally different look. 

Remember to come back tomorrow to see some more totally different ideas with these stamps and dies. This week we're celebrating the latest release at Impression Obsession with a three-day blog hop. Today is Day 1. I hope you'll hop around and see what all the designers have been creating for you!

Yo Ho Ho . . . .These Pirate Cards ARRRRR So Fun!

Arrrr mateys! Let's celebrate all the land lubbers and pirates alike, with some adorable pirate themed card making ideas, featuring the It's a Pirates Life stamp set from Impression Obsession. For birthdays and more, for kids and adults alike, you'll have so much fun crafting with this clear stamp set designed by Nola Chandler.

Today's first card is perfect for all kinds of celebrations, and features a few cute stamped and colored images along with two sentiments. One way to get lots of extra bang for your buck on stamp sets is to consider what other stamps (particularly sentiments) that you can pair with your favorite themed sets. I paired Yo ho ho with a sentiment from the Anytime Sayings stamp set to make a congratulations card. 

I paired sentiments on this second card also. I love the birthday sentiment in the Thought Bubbles stamp set (also designed by Nola Chandler.) Start with an adorable pirate theme, and then build on it with items already in your stash!

It's Team Favorites Day on the Impression Obsession blog. Stop by the IO blog for a full list of everyone participating in today's blog hop! And then. . .go do some shopping for the pirates and scurvy dogs in your life! ;)
