Impressions Abloom Fun Fold

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month’s theme is “Flowers in Bloom.” The Pals hope to inspire you with card ideas and paper craft creations using Stampin’ Up! products. Links to the Pals’ blogs are at the end of each post to help you “hop” along!

I want to showcase my favorite new flowers from the Floral Impressions Suite Collection. I love this suite because of the beautiful bright color Designer Series Paper (DSP), embossed flowers, the oval dies and more! I’d love to hear what your favorite new products are. Here’s card #1 using only products in the Floral Impressions Suite Collection and the coordinating cardstock. The “flower sets” are floating on a window sheet.

I made the card a second time using different colors and the same DSP. The flowers and flower centers are cut from the DSP on card #2. Which color combination is your favorite?

This is how I first made card #1, without the extra “flower sets” coming out of the “flower box.” In the video I show how to make the card to this point. The next day I decided to add the “flower sets” on window sheets shown below. I adhered one flower set behind both sides of the “flower box.” Do you like the cards better with or without the added “flower sets?”

Here’s what I used to make the flower sets.

  • Window Sheet (2) 3/4″ x 4-1/4″
  • The flowers, stems and leaves are all from the Impressions Abloom dies shown here in Garden Green CS, Fresh Freesia CS and Blackberry Bliss CS.

Here’s a video showing how to make this card. Please join us for our weekly live video on Tuesdays at 7pm CT. You can subscribe to my YouTube channel here so you get notified each week when I’m live.

I enjoy growing flowers in real life too! It’s fun to have something new blooming each week. My Dianthus started blooming this weekend. I love having bright & happy flowers in my garden and on my homemade cards!

We have more inspiration to share, so use the lineup below to visit each team member’s page for fresh ideas, unique styles, and endless inspiration. And get ready—next month, we’re designing with the “New In Colors” to showcase how beautiful and versatile they are for your projects.

Until then, have fun in your craft space.
