It's a NEW Year at Great Impressions!

Hi, friends!  I hope your 2015 is off to a great start!  We've got some NEW things going on here at Great Impressions, and so today I am going to share those NEW things with all of you--our amazing friends!


First up, we have NEW stamps!



Next up, we have a NEW design team member!  Her name is Patti Gilliam and her blog is called Cherish Each Precious Day.  She's written a little bit about herself and so, I'm gonna turn it over to her for a bit.  Take it away, Patti!




"Hello! I was introduced to paper crafts years ago. I dabbled for a while, then retired, and became hopelessly addicted. I’ve been blogging for over six years now, and love the friends that I’ve met through this hobby. When we travel, we always work in time to meet my crafty friends.

I am blessed with an awesome husband - he indulges my creative time, and just spoils me rotten. We have been married for over 41 years, and live about 90 minutes south of St. Louis, Missouri. Our children are grown – a son and beautiful daughter-in-law live in California, and our daughter, wonderful son-in-law, and the prettiest granddaughter in the world, live in Germany. 

I’m excited to be designing for Great Impressions! Their stamps were among the first I used, when I began this stamping adventure. I don’t really have a ‘style’, so be prepared for a little of everything. I’m looking forward to working with both a wonderful product, and the talented Great Impressions Design Team members."


Welcome, Patti!  We are super excited to have you here!  Patti will be taking over for Katy, but posting on Saturdays.  Yes, we have a NEW team post day schedule!  


Lastly, we have a NEW social media outlet for Great Impressions!  You can now find us on FLICKR!!!  We hope you join us there and add all your Great Impressions creations there!  We can't wait to see what you make this year!

Come back tomorrow for our monthly challenge and then Monday to see who will be posting that day...then come back each day to see what else we've shaken up, too!  HUGS and happy stamping to you all!

Sew...what's new



Yes, it is jammie Saturday already-where did the time go?  I am all turned  around with these holidays stuck into the middle of the week!  Happy to be lounging and relaxing today!  A great day for crafting!!!!

I love shaped cards...

 Wouldn't this be a fun little giftie for a crafty friend?  I made this cute little spool card - wrapped some ribbon around it and finished it off with these great sewing stamps. Wouldn't your friends be tickled to receive this little gift of ribbon in the mail? 



Tomorrow brings a new monthly challenge here on the Great Impressions blog -- so make sure to stop in tomorrow too!

Thanks for stopping by!

Sew...what's new with YOU?

Hi, Everyone! Angi, here...with another failed attempt at a CAS (Clean and Simple) card! Don't worry...it doesn't really bother me. I have way too much fun playing with techniques and trying to figure out how to get the most out of my art stash - that includes my Great Impressions' stamps!

Have you used the special code (GIB212) to receive 10% off your Great Impressions Stamps online order, yet? Only a few days left...this code is only good till the end of February...

I have a lot going on this week and really did attempt a simpler design, but alas, the paint called my name and I answered! The 'Sentiment Only' Design Team Challenge was a difficult one for me...only a sentiment?!

No background stamping?
No fussy cutting?
No masking?!

What's a girl to do?

Why get out the embossing folders and sewing machine, of course! It all started with a plain piece of kraft cardstock, a few paper scraps...and the 'What's new?' (C420) stamp...


then an embossing folder, a dab or two of white paint and some stitching...with a little vintage lace (can one have too much tatted loveliness?) and the odd button, two or three thrown in for good measure!


Sew...what's new with you? We'd love to hear about the Great stamping you've been doing.

If you've taken the time to leave us a lovely comment - Thank you! We appreciate the feedback. Make sure to follow the Great Impressions' blog, so you don't miss a thing...and we don't miss you!

Boy...am I going to be in trouble if we ever really do a CAS challenge...hope you find some time this weekend to get your craft on!


Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper: patterned scraps from my paper stash
Tools: sewing machine, Sizzix Textured Impressions Embossing Folder Plaid (657064)
Other: ribbon scraps, vintage lace, misc. buttons
