Impression Obsession Spring Dies - Day 2!

Welcome to the Impression Obsession Team Spring Die hop! We have some beautiful new dies to share with you, and prizes too. Keep reading to find out how you could win a $25 gift certificate and get a few dies of your own!



My card today is made with the Butterfly Block die, which is beautifully intricate and makes for a quick and elegant card. I used Stick It on the die cut panel, and I also used the negative cut to frame the die cut.

This background came from my UFO (unfinished objects) stash, and it's such a fun technique I had to throw together a quick little video for you to share how it's done. Here's that:


The word stamp is from my Everyday Words clear set - it's a fun mix-and-match set that's super versatile. My card also fits today's Mix-Ability challenge over on Splitcoast, to create a mixed-media project using a winged thing!


The hop will run for 2 days (3/24/16 – 3/25/16) with a list of participants on the Impression Obsession Blog each day. Comment once per blog per day for a chance to win an Impression Obsession Gift Certificate!  The more blogs you visit … the better chance you will have to win one of two $25 Gift Certificates. Comment entries will be open until 9pm EST on Sunday March 27th and all winners will be announced Monday March 28th on the Impression Obsession Blog
