More flowers from Impressions Abloom…

 Hello again!

I’ve had lots of fun with SU Impressions Abloom, here I’ve used the stamp set, as well as the dies.

I used SU Eyelit Blooms die to produce the lovely background.

This was a special ‘product of the month’. Above it’s in white, below it’s Berry Burst.

I stamped the envelopes to match.

I used lots of snippets for all the cards for this set, die cutting is a chance to use up those scraps!

Here’s one that’s left…

So I’m off to the Snippets Playground #533 with the berry burst one above.

Allsorts are having a bumper birthday bash not to be missed.

I’ll also take it to MyNBUS #86 for the background die.

I’m taking the first one to Little Red Wagon #860, ‘make your own background’.

It’s mighty warm in the southeast of the UK, and our local water company is causing havoc.

Lots of people have had no water for days, despite us having a wet winter, 

and this being the first spell of hot 🥵 temperatures 🙄.

They’ve also been responsible for dumping too much waste into our streams, rivers and seas.

Unfortunately they are extremely slow at fixing the many leaks too!

I dread what’s going to happen in the summer ! 😳🤪

Happy Days!

Impressions Abloom

 Hi there, hope all is well with you….

Today I’m sharing another SU set Impressions Abloom.

The layout was inspired by Kim Fee, “simplyfairies.co.uk”

I’ve used an old SU paper for the colourway, and an SU embossing folder ‘mini corrugated’.

The flowers and leaves are die cut and blended with ink.

The sentiment is white heat embossed on black.

There’s a few challenges I’d like to enter….

Allsorts Challenge #850  , anything goes for their huge birthday celebration!

Creative inspirations, anything goes,

MyNBUS,  May #86, never before used this embossing folder.

I’ll be back tomorrow with a couple more …….

Take care and see you soon

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, Ornate Floral, 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….

Take care and see you soon
