Die cutting Ideas for Handmade Cards with the Impression Obsession Spring Release

Welcome to Day 3 of the Impression Obsession Spring Die Catalog Release celebration! We are having a crafty party this week, and I'm so happy to share a few more handmade cards with the fabulous stamps and dies from Impression Obsession! 

Today's first card features the Pinked Stitched Banner Die Set. This set has three banner dies - they are all the same length, but the width is different for each one. The dies come attached together, and you can easily snip them apart - but I love keeping them together because I can quickly diecut three banners at once. For this card, I die cut the banners in three colors. Then I mixed and matched them together to create the background for this card.

The hello stamp and die sets are so fun and practical. That hello die cuts SO smoothly and perfectly. I  might have squealed when I cut it the first time! (It's going on ALL the things!) And the stamp set has fun stamp sentiments to mix and match. For both of today's cards I used the words "my friend" from this set. 


Next up, I made a thank you card. This card features the new Stitched Tag Set. It includes the tag, fold-over tab piece under the twine, and the sentiment strip (that says "My Friend").
