It's fun when you make a card and everyone asks in amazement, "how did you do that?". The recipient acts like you did something wonderful when it was really easy.

Tim Holtz Diffusers allow you to block off part of a card where you don't want it to emboss. For our card we ran the paper through our Big Shot twice, once with the small inset square diffuser and the spotted embossing plate and then again with the square frame diffuser and the zig zag embossing folder. The tree is Savvy's leafy tree die.

Our new fall stamps have arrived and we love them. The chalk look is popular and it's easy to recreate. Just stamp with paper white fresh ink on black. Some of our stamps are designed to look chalk like but even older images look great with the black and white theme.

Design it yourself calendars have been a tradition at Impress for years. We love it when the new versions for the upcoming year arrive. Customers who gives these calendars as gifts each year, wait for them to arrive so they can get busy designing. Here's a few ideas for this year using dies and stamps.
