This 50 page PDF class starts with 10 different sketches with 10 contributors each sharing two papercrafting projects created from a sketch. You’ll get to read their tips and see their techniques in action as they share their process of working with the sketches. Then, we will end the class with an extra bonus of 20 full-page sketches and you’ll be on your way to creating projects in no time!

This class comes as a downloadable self-paced PDF file. Once you have purchased the class, you will receive a link, via email, to download the class.

You’ll find double-sided journaling tags, basic journaling tags with a grid on one side and polka dots on the other in pink and gray, a 4 x 6 stamp that also coordinates with our tab die, and acrylic words in white and black!

We are taking the guess work out of your stamping and photo cropping with our Crop and Stamp Acrylic Block! You can use this block to stamp your clear stamps and center stamped images easily using the center grid lines provided. How fun is that!

We also have a limited number of Little Moment bundles available while supplies last to celebrate our new From Sketch to Finish class! Our contributors used this collection on their projects and it’s the perfect addition to add to your class purchase!

{ Impression Obsession DT challenge – Masculine cards}

Hi and welcome to our  Impression Obsession challenge – Masculine cards.

Here is my card.

Happy father's day by Daniela Dobson

I used several different stamps on my background starting with Painted Stripes. I added white gesso to the painted stripes background to tone it down a bit. Once it was dry I stamped the others. You can see the full list below. I had my little box of stamps out that I use for mixed media journaling. It was pretty easy and fast to create. I die cut the “happy” word from kraft cardstock and adhered it to a white cardstock panel that I backed with 3D foam adhesive from Therm O Web. I added color shine splatters and sequins to the finished background.

{ Layered butterfly freebie }

I know totally random post today since I am sharing a freebie. Didn’t quite make the Card Kit Monday, even though I am thinking about it. I was sharing files every Monday and making a card with them and sometimes I even had a video. There were lots of downloads, but I have never seen anyone make anything with them. I am still thinking about sharing free files, I have lots of them.

Today I am sharing a card I created using Silhouette Studio files that I designed. I was cleaning my studio yesterday and placed a stack of layouts (40) in an album. One of them had these cute layered butterflies from Crate Paper, Notes and Things. I decided to make my own. I used a freebie butterfly I already had that I created last year and used on a card I created for Card Kit Monday. I changed this butterfly a little bit by adding a center piece. I layered all three and used my sewing machine for the center. The exact size of the butterflies: L 2.25 M 1.625 S 1.25 You can make them any size that you need.

Hello by Daniela Dobson

I used Fab Friday 87 for the sketch and The Challenge #73 for the colors. The diagonal stripe background was cut from white cardstock and for the insert from a different card background. I have been seeing diagonal lines like this on various cards and I like it.  I added some whipped spackle  to the background and watercolor paint. I added a vellum frame and a strip of polka dot vellum as a banner for the House of Cards challenge. For the hand drawn circle I have several different ones here and here. Make sure you visit the FREEBIES page and download what you like. I cut “hello” from black and white cardstock and layered them with a little offset. It’s my own handwriting.

{ Impression Obsession Design Team Thursday }

It is my turn today to share a card I made using Impression Obsession stamps and dies. Here is what I created.

I used our brand new Painted Leaves & Petals. I stamped the flower and the leaves with Ranger distress ink on watercolor paper. I was able to add water with my watercolor brush to make it look like I painted it. The background is stamped with Painted Strips background stamp. It’s stamped with very light blue ink.

Thanks by Daniela Dobson

I die cut “thanks” from gold cardstock that I adhered to a Deco Foil White Foam Adhesive from Therm O Web. It gives it dimension and is sticky on two sides so once it’s die cut, just peel off the back and adhere it to the card. I used the accompanying Thanks stamp set to stamp “so much”. To finish the card I sprinkled color shine.

{ May 2016 Memory Keepers Studio by Technique Tuesday }

Our May release of Memory Keepers Studio – Summer Adventures and Fresh Cut Studio – Summer  (shipping 5/15). Plus, check out all that is new and available for May. Here is what I created with the set.

I made a layout for our May color challenge at Emma’s Paperie that will be up on the blog soon. In addition, I used a sketch from Creative Scrappers.

Summer by Daniela Dobson

I downloaded free files from Jen Show called Life Printable Word Strips that I used on this layout. I stamped various words and sentences from the Summer Adventures stamp set. The large “summer” word I created from my handwriting and cut with my Silhouette Cameo. I added some Whipped Spackle to the background with a triangle mask and sprinkled some color shine.

Summer close by Daniela Dobson 

 

Here is a card I created using the brand new Mom’s Day stamp set paired up with Happy Butterfly die. It can be used for many different occasions. I added some white gesso to the background and yellow paint. I stamped and cut out the sentiments adding them to the card using 3D Foam adhesive from Therm O Web.

Happy Mother's Day by Daniela Dobson

Have a great Monday!

For the second layout I used the stamps and lots of little stickers. I sprinkled some color shine from my stash.

Miss you by Daniela Dobson

I just love that Painted Stripe stamp!!! Love! The cacti are stamped on watercolor paper and colored with watercolor crayons.  I cut them all out and adhered them over the Chalk Photo Frame that I cut out. I used 3D Foam Squares from Therm O Web to add dimension to two of the cactus images. “Miss you” sentiment came from the Grunge Map stamp set.
