{ Impression Obsession DT challenge – Last Minute Gifts }

Hi and welcome to our  Impression Obsession challenge – Last Minute Gifts.

I created these little gift bags that I shared on CardMaker blog yesterday. Totally last minute idea for sure, and who doesn’t have parchment paper in their pantry.

Ph 3 by Daniela Dobson

These are so easy to put together and fill with your favorite treats. I used parchemt paper to make the bags. I stitched up the sides with my sewing machine. You have seen me make bags like this before. The cute litte die cut is Patchwork Stocking and I stamped it with Mini Pattern 1 and Mini Patterns 2. I filled the bags with treats I bought at World Market, from Germany.

{ Impression Obsession DT challenge – Quick Christmas Cards }

Hi and welcome to our  Impression Obsession challenge – Quick Christmas cards.

Snow Thankful  by Daniela Dobson

I need several Christmas thank you cards for some of my friends. I thought I would use my Misti to mass produce several using the same design. This was super easy. I used one ink for the images and then black for the sentiment and a stripe at the top. I added gold washi to all the cards and then added a colored cardstock base.

{ November Tis The Season Highlight from Elle’s Studio }

I have a blog post on Elle’s Studio blog today highlighting Tis The Season collection and November kit + extras. For my layout today I only used the patterned paper from Tis The Season collection and all my other items are from the November kit. I wanted to document our Thanksgiving and as I was gathering all my items from the kit, I loved the blue, black and gray with a touch of wood.

EllesStudio-DanielaDobson-Thankful-01

I cut a tag from the same background paper for my journaling and tucked it behind the doily from my stash. When applying adhesive I just make sure I leave a pocket for the tag to fit it. How about that gorgeous Date It Stamp? Love it.

EllesStudio-DanielaDobson-Thankful-02

The Thanksgiving Acrylic fit perfectly in the tag section with the large date right below it. I added some twine from my stash along with enamel dots and some die cuts. I love this color combination and will definitively use it again.

Supplies:

Good Cheer stamp
Thanksgiving Acrylic
Date It Stamp

{ Thankful for Misti blog hop }

Hi and welcome to our Thankful for Misti blog hop.We will be sharing projects we created with our Misti and sharing why we are thankful for the Misti. 


 Here is my card using Impression Obsession stamps and Therm O Web adhesive.


1. I am thankful for the Misti because I can see where I am lining up the stamps. There is no guessing. Once you line it up and pick it up, that is where the stamp will stay. After I heat embossed the small triangles, I stamped the larger row of triangles. 


2. I am thankful for the Misti because I can stamp again, for the second impression, without having anything move.  The first time I stamped the triangles, there was a fuz on one of the lines. I removed the fuzz, reinked and stamped again for a perfect impression.


3. I am thankful for the Misti because I can stamp a sentiment even when my card is completely finished with several layers. 


Impression Obsession stamps and dies:


We will be giving away two MISTIs (your choice of original or Mini) - one to you, and one to a friend or relative you are thankful for. Tell us what you are thankful for.
 You can comment through Sunday on all blogs on the hop, and winners will be notified on Monday.

{ Impression Obsession DT challenge – Chill Out (Cool Colors) }

Hi and welcome to our  Impression Obsession challenge – Chill Out (Cool Colors).

This was a fun card tom make. I gathered different shades of ink, from lighter to darker, for the stripes on the card base. I used my Misti to perfectly align my Candy Cane Stripes CAC background stamp.

Greetings by Daniela Dobson

I stamped Snowflake Dangles at the top using the lightest ink and Deer in Forest on the bottom with two different shades of ink.

Greetings close by Daniela Dobson

The sentiment is from Greetings stamp set and I die cut the Greetings die from silver cardstock. I added sequins to finish the card.

She is colored using my Prismacolor pencils. I used the matching die to cut her out and 3D foam squares for dimension. I just love those snowflakes. They were stamped matching the colors in the patterned paper and die cut. I added sequins to the center of each one.

My second card uses Christmas Greenery stamp set. I used all the little bits to stamp the background and heat emboss using clear embossing powder.

Merry Christmas by Daniela Dobson

{ Jillibean Soup and CardMaker Blog Hop }

Hi and welcome to Jillibean Soup and CardMaker blog hop. Today we are showcasing cards and/or other paper-crafting projects made using Christmas stamps and shaker cards.

Here is what I created using Peace, Joy & Love stamp set (houses and sentiment), Snow Globe stamp set (trees), Jar card base and Jar shaker pouch.

Peace by Daniela Dobson

For my card I used one of the cards as my template to color in the background. I traced the jar from the front opening to the inside of the card and placed the opening of the other card over the traced image. I colored the opening using distress inks. I stamped and heat embossed the stars. I stamped and colored the houses and stamped the trees.  

Peace step 1 by Daniela Dobson

I created two different hills for the bottom of the jar by cutting out cardstock and tracing the bottom shape of the jar. I used 3D Foam Squares to layer the hills, houses and trees.

Peace close inside by Daniela Dobson

Since I used non traditional colors for my scene I used sequins from my stash to match. The jar pouches have adhesive on the back and line up perfectly through the opening of the card front.  I used an awl to punch a hole on each side of the jar top for the twine.

Peace close by Daniela Dobson

This was really fun to make. Let me know if you have any questions.


Jillibean Soup will be hosting a giveaway on their blog.

{ Impression Obsession DT challenge –Thanksgiving Wishes }

Hi and welcome to our  Impression Obsession challenge – Thanksgiving Wishes.

For this card I thought I would dig out and play with inchies from Inchie Arts. I was cleaning and found a box full of them.

Give thanks by Daniela Dobson

I used Leaf Stems stamp set and Give Thanks die. I stamped two different leaves on the squares and colored them with watercolor. The stem on the left is stamped and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I added yellow and orange distress ink to make it pop.

Give thanks close 2 by Daniela Dobson

How beautiful is that Deco Foil? I have a step by step tutorial on Therm O Web blog a little later today if you want to take a look and see how I used Deco Foil and Deco Foil White Foam adhesive with the die cut.
