New Stamps from IO!

As we speak, Impression Obsession is unveiling some of the latest designs with a fall and winter theme at CHA! So, while Mitra and the IO gang mans the booth and shows off these new stamps, the IODT is showing you what you can create with these new goodies! And guess what? If you join us this week and leave some comments on the designer's blogs, you could win a $25 gift certificate to the Impression Obsession store! What fun!

On to my creation!

When it comes to some of my favorites from Impression Obsession - I love the sentiments, the Cover-A-Card backgrounds and now.... some of the new stamps that have coordinating dies! This card above is almost a 10 minute card and I love just how fresh and fun it is! I used one of Kalani Allred's new sentiments called Be Thankful (B3815). After stamping the words using Memento Teal Zeal, I used some light blue paper and then stamped the Cover-A-Card background called Circle Fusion 1 (using the same Teal Zeal ink). After I layered it all up, added a button, twine and bow. I stamped the Large Solid Leaf Stem using Pistachio Memento ink and then used the coordinating die cut called Branch Die and then matted it with some glue dots so that it would be sticking up out of the bow. And that, my friends is it! A little old... a little new -- just for you!

Here's the DT line-up for today! Be sure to stop by and see what they whipped up for this fun-filled CHA Sneak Peek week!
Want to know how you can win? Just click HERE and head on over to the IO Blog for all the fun details! I'll be back tomorrow with some more IO fun, so be sure to tune back in!

    I'm always looking for good background images (have a bunch of IO's CAC) and I love this new one you are showing!

    Such an elegant card, Julie! I have not used this background image yet, but it certainly is striking when used in an elegant fashion! The sentiment is wonderful! Being grateful, no matter what, helps inspire us continually. Thanks for sharing!

    Less is more... If one has beautiful stamps, why hide them behind quantities of embellishments and papers ! Love the Leaf Stem and matching die, so useful.
