Impressions Abloom die cuts

 Hi everyone, I hope you’ve had some time to relax.

I’ve been busy making some birthday cards for January, 

and recently acquired this new SU set Impressions Abloom.

There’s stamps and dies, so for speed I opted to use lots of cardstock snippets to die cut.

I’m hoping some spring flowers will cheer the recipients up!

First up, an SU embossed background, and an oval die cut from the set,

with an array of flowers.

I’ll take this card to can you handle the pressure (cyhtp) (AG)

Next up, I made a “basket” using the oval die cut with Woven Textures DSP,

then filled it with flowers and foliage.

Unfortunately I completely covered the “basket handle”, and you can hardly see/read the greeting,

so after I’d taken this photo I die cut a white one to go over the top.

Lastly another “basket”, less full, using some punched flower centres….

Using old punches, an idea recently sparked by Sarn of Stamping for pleasure.

I’m taking this over to the Allsorts challenge #839 (AG)….  (I did create a scene for my last entry)

I’ll also visit the Snippets Playground #522

and here are some of my snippets of cardstock used…

I’ll hopefully see you here tomorrow, to share a card that rocks a tune or two….

Thanks for taking the time to visit, and I really appreciate your comments

Take care and see you soon

Lesley
