Summer Celebration IO Style day 1

WELCOME!!!!!  Today is the first day of the Summer release from Impression Obsession.  Be prepared to have your flip flops blown off!  LOL

Today I am sharing a little cute thing using new dies from the Spring Dies and a couple of the new Summer stamps!!!!  I created my card using Floral Camera G20722 which was colored using the no line technique and copics.  I then masked off the polaroid area and stamped the La Chantecler H203031 upside down (to look like it's just coming out of the camera) with distress ink on a piece of cardstock that I shaded with distress ink.  I then die cut the Hello die from a piece of the background paper.  I created photo corners using some wood veneer paper and cut the image out using some REALLY old scissors....  

Make sure that you go to the Impression Obsession BLOG to see who all has some new products to share with you!!!!!

See ya tomorrow !!!!!

IO Challenge Foodie Fun

Hello there!!!!  It's time for NEW CHALLENGE!!!!! 

Today the challenge is to create something foodie!  I created 2 projects for you.  the first one is a mixed media page for my disc journal.  I used the stamp set le soleil for my page.  I colored the main images including the margarita on ice *foodie* and fussy cut them and adhered them to the page.  

For my second project I created a fun little card using my io hybrid inks like distress inks.  I smooshed onto my craft mat, spritzed with water and applied with a blending pad.  I stamped the image from the Let's BBQ clear set and added some pearl drops and clear gel to the big splotch and bottles!  FUN right??!!

Here are the other challenge cards for you to check out!

Hello friends!!!!  It's time for a new challenge over at Impression Obsession.  This time the name of the game is "It's getting hot in here!" (Warm colors) Well I think warm Summer colors means BRIGHT colors.  So I created this little simple sentiment only card using some retired SU papers, ribbon and then colored the sentiment called "Happy to You" C19344 and coated it with a couple layers of clear gel pen. A few matte doodlebug gems that I coated with Wink of Stella and it was DONE!  See, you don't have to be all fancy to play along or to make a great card!!! Simple is good! :)

Make sure that you visit the team blogs for some stunners!!!!

CC Designs Day 1 ~ Swiss Pixie Rockabilly Abigail

Hello everyone!!!  HAPPY 4th of July and GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!

Today I get to share with you one of the newly released (they are in the store NOW) images.  Today I am sharing Swiss Pixie Rockabilly Abigail.  Isn't she the CUTEST???  I decided to go with the weather lately and make it a HOT Summer card... She is complete with her shades.... I used several  cutter dies here, Windows, Bubble Alphabet,  along with a brad that is shaped like a pair of glasses.  Speaking of which I made her glasses into sunglasses by simply shading them with my C Copics and some clear gel pen!!!!

There will be a WINNER from todays comments over at the CC Designs Blog!!!!  HURRY!!!!!  These are SO AWESOME!!!!!

Impression Obsession - Aloha!

Today I created my card using the new set Aloha CL765.  The background leaves were stamped in Turf  IO Hybrid ink.

Kraftin Kimmie Fancy Flamingos

Hello there friends!!! It's time for another Wonderful Wednesday over at Kraftin Kimmie Stamps!  

Today I am sharing a card I made using the new Fancy Flamingos stamp set!!!  I ADORE Flamingos and this set is full of FUN!

I created my card using some Doodlebug goodies; washi tape and shaped sprinkles.  I then used the flower accent piece stamping randomly between the tape, added my sentiment, hit it with the clear gloss pen and then mounted my image on some Melon Mambo paper after coloring with Copics.

SUPER fun right??? !!!!!  Don't forget, the Gimmie Kimmie Kits are still available... grab all of the latest released sets at a DI$COUNT!!!!

Kraftin Kimmie Wonderful Wednesday

Well HELLO Krafty Friends!!!!  It's time for a Wonderful Wednesday challenge over at Kraftin Kimmie Stamps!

Today I used the newly released At The Beach stamp set!  

Watercolor is all the rage right now and I have not quite mastered my patience on it, so I cheated and used my watercolor background stamp from Stampin Up along with my SU Markers and a water spritzer.  Colored the stamp with markers, spritzed with water and then stamped.  I then took the At The Beach stamp set and inked it up in Memento Tuxedo Black and stamped it over the top.  I took one word from the sentiment Sand! Surf! Sun! colored it with my marker and stamped it onto a wooden piece from my stash.  Clean, Simple and Beautiful! 

Make sure you play along and link up to our Challenge!   Don't forget the JUNE GIMMIE KIMMIE KIT is still going on and Kimmie has been slipping little goodies into orders as  a SURPRISE!!!!!! 

That's it for me!!!!  

Take care and LOVE ONE ANOTHER!!!!!
