Hey Chick! Check Out These Cuties for Easter and Springtime Cards {Impression Obsession}

Hey chickies! It is Easter week and there's much to celebrate. Today's cards, although absolutely perfect for Easter, are equally perfect all springtime long. They're perfect for baby cards....and perfect for your besties, and perfect for your chicken-loving friends. What could be cuter than a little chick and bright springtime colors? Oh - and the BEST part. . . Impression Obsession is having a sale you gotta PEEP to believe. The deals are HOPPIN'! (See what I did there?) ;)

First things first, today is Team Favorites Day on the Impression Obsession blog. It's the day we celebrate one more peek at our favorites from this month's release. Today there's something EXTRA to celebrate though, because we're having a BIG springtime sale, to clear out some inventory (and make room for more of course!) This is the time to think ahead, plan out some long-range crafting, and score some awesome deals. No coupon code needed. Easy peasy! Go throw some things in your cart, friends!

But now, back to these chickies! I've really had fun with this adorable stamp set. That card up top came together quickly with the sweet Shaker Tag die - on that card I used the die set just as a simple tag, no shaker necessary for that cuteness! 

And below, I used another new favorite product - the A4 Window Stencils. This card was fun to make. I did some stamping, and masking and then inked the window stencil to give these chicks a place to land. 

Okay my crafty PEEPS, I don't want to keep you because there's so much to do. . . first of all, go do some shopping and shop all your favorite things during this great sale! Then, hop around and see what the rest of the designers have to show you! 

Don't Miss a Stop on the Hop!

Hey Chick! How About This Springtime Card With a Shaker Tag?

Today's cards feature fresh flowers and adorable chicks, popping up just in time for springtime.  It's Day 2 of Impression Obsession's new release hop, and spring is definitely in the air! Plus, if you loved yesterday's shaker tag card, today I've got another shaker idea with sweet pastel sequins. Ready to chick it out?

Today's cards show two different ways to color these cute chickies. Love to paper-piece? This chick looks great trimmed from cardstock. Feel like coloring? Try watercolor, pencils, or markers to bring your chickies some color. 

In yesterday's post I shared directions for assembling the Shaker Tag die as a shaker. (You can totally use the pieces as regular tags too!) 

• To make this shaker, cut the solid tag from pink cardstock, and acetate.
• Then cut the window tag from white cardstock, and from white foam. (Or you can use thin strips of adhesive foam tape instead of a foam sheet.)
• Assemble the tag from front to back - white window tag, acetate layer, then foam. Next, fill the open space with sequins, and seal it together with the solid white tag.

It's Day 2 of our blog hop and we're having so much fun sharing this month's new release at Impression Obsession! If you missed yesterday's post (with more shaker tag inspiration) check it out HERE.

Make an Easter Bunny Shaker Card! {New from Impression Obsession}

There's not much more fun than a SHAKER CARD! This sweet and springy Easter shaker card is shaped like an egg, and features the sweetest stamped bunnies from Impression Obsession. Let's take a look and I'll show you just how to create it yourself!

The Inside Out Arch die is such a great shape on its own - but two of them paired up make a perfect egg! 

• Start by cutting out the arch towards the top of a panel of cardstock. This will become the shaker part. 
• Then die cut it again from pink cardstock (or the springy color of your choice!) 
• Stamp a sentiment and adhere the pink arch to your cardstock panel. 
• Add a piece of clear acetate behind the open area, and use a foam sheet or foam tape to add the dimension you need, filling your shaker with sequins.

Looking for more cute bunny ideas? Here's another sweet and simple card for springtime, a new baby, or Easter. Remember bunnies don't have to be white! These kraft colored bunnies are adorable too!

Happy Easter Cuteness {New From Impression Obsession}

Springtime colors paired with bold black & white is a fresh, fun spin on Easter cards. I'm in love with these new stamps designed by Nola Chandler, for Impression Obsession. The square format of the cute Easter Squares stamp set is fun for a variety of card sizes and layouts. Today we'll look at a fun four-square Easter card idea!

This blog post contains affiliate links. When you shop through my links I receive compensation at no cost to you. Thank you from the bottom of my crafty heart.  

This card idea is so simple and fun to create. Simply stamp and color four square images, and put them together on a card base. Then, stamp and fussy cut the banner sentiment and add it on top. I used markers to color the images, and added highlights with a white gel pen.

I hope you are LOVING the new products and cards you're seeing today! The design team sure does love sharing the cuteness with you each month. Don't miss a stop on this week's two-day blog hop. Here's the scoop. . .

A new month means it's time for a new limited edition stamp set from Impression Obsession. This month's set is just in time for spring - it's not too early to start thinking about Easter cards and crafts! Today, I have a clean and simple card idea featuring the stamps from this cute new stamp set.

Today's card is super simple to make, PLUS it uses up some of those cute paper scraps you just can't throw out! (Trust me, I know!) Start with a simple stamped image, and add some color. I used markers, but use whatever you love to work with - colored pencils, watercolor, etc. 

Next, pick out a couple strips of patterned paper and add them into the mix, along with a couple of simple embellishments to finish it off!

Hope Is Eternal: You'll Love This Springtime Card Idea

 Today is Old is New Day on the Impression Obsession blog. It's the day we celebrate the oldies-but-goodies in our stamp and diecutting stash. Today's cards feature some springtime blooms and a beautiful hope-filled sentiment that's perfect for the season.

The next time you have some stamped images and a sentiment but you're not sure how to tie it all together, try some die cut circles. The circles on this card added the perfect pops of color, plus some extra interest without being distracting. The circles give a resting place and ground the images without looking like TOO MUCH. Give it a try!

I had fun with my colored pencils on these stamped images. I really like the shades of yellow and orange mixed with the aqua. It feels fresh and fun for springtime.

I know the IO team has lots of inspiration to share with you today so be sure to visit the Impression Obsession blog to see a list of all the designers participating in Old is New Day.

And HEY. . .don't be a stranger because beginning next week we'll be celebrating the new April release at Impression Obsession with a two-day blog hop - there's chances to gift certificates to the IO shop, plus so much sweet springtime inspiration. I hope you'll hop along with us!  (Subscribe up there in the sidebar or right here, so you don't miss a post!)

Before you go - want to see another card with the same sentiment, but a totally different look? How about this bold floral card with the Poppy Flower stamp? There are so many possibilities with this sentiment!

 Do you like bright pastel Easter cards with plenty of bunnies and colorful eggs? If so, you'll love these handmade Easter card ideas featuring rubber stamping and die cutting.  Let's hop on in and take a look!

Today's first card is sweet as can be for Easter, but it would be perfect all season long, even for a new mama or a thinking of you card. The best part about this sweet card is that it's a perfect use for all those patterned paper scraps you have saved up! Mix and match for a fun patchwork effect as the background for your card.

Next up, a SUPER FUN project - the exploding envelope! Start with a scoring board and make an envelope - but don't seal it up, because the envelope becomes the card! Fill it with tags, little pockets, and bits of this and that for a festive crafty gift. 

Want to know more about creating this project? Check out the exploding envelope tutorial here! 

Peep Peep Peep! Look at these chickies! This card began with the adorable chicks stamped on a white cardstock panel. It was a little too distracting from the colorful chicks, but a layer of vellum softened up the background perfectly. It's a great technique when your background is just a little too much.

How about a shaped card? This is a super fun idea for Easter cards. Use a large oval die to cut out two egg shapes. Fold in the top edge of one, and add a little adhesive. Sandwich the other egg on top and you have an egg-shaped card base! If you want it to stand up, you'll need to get creative - but this strip of die cut grass did the trick for a flat bottom! Then, embellish that beautiful egg with washi tape, paper scraps, and flowers.

Next up, how about a tunnel card? You'll want to pull out your shaped nesting dies for this card idea. Die cut concentric shapes from panels of cardstock and then get the foam squares ready to make this EXTRA dimensional. Add Easter elements in between the ovals to bring your scene to life! (Looking for more help making your own tunnel card? Have no fear. . .click here!)

Simple colored pencils and bold black and white plaid paper are all it took to highlight the darling Miss Whiskers stamp. I finished it off with a die cut scalloped circle, a flower and tag. 

And speaking of bunnies, the Bunny Trio die set is adorable for Easter cards and crafts. Get two for one with this card idea. Die cut white bunnies from a cardstock panel. Add the bunnies to one card and use the remaining panel for a second card! 

Last but not least, this simple Easter Wishes card features a subtly stamped egg background. It adds just enough pattern and color to the card without distracting from the bold sentiment strip and darling stamped images. (And hello, did you catch that bunny paperclip? Sweetest!!!) 

So there you have it - seven colorful Easter card ideas made with stamping and diecutting. You'll find all of the stamps, dies, ink, paper and supplies used on these crafts at Spellbinders Paper Arts. Their sale section is always amazing, so be sure to check it out today!
