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!

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

Take care and see you soon

Things with Wings for Allsorts

 I’m delighted to be invited to make a card today as a guest designer for the

Allsorts challenge #845 “Things with Wings”

(Or anything goes)

There’s a wonderful prize on offer.

I recently acquired a new set from Stampin’ Up!  called “Cutest Crew”

It has stamps and dies, featuring little birds, dogs and cats.

I started by stamping the bird group, colouring some parts, then die cutting the teeny dies to go on top…

I’ve been trying to use my embossing folders,

 so here is one of the SU “Heirloom Frames”, which also has dies,

and the background foliage is SU “Greenery”, which has two slim designs.

I placed some tiny foam pads to lift the birds wings, and added some twine.

I debated adding some bling, but nothing seemed to work, so I went with the CAS look.

Have The Best Day, and pop over to the

Allsorts Challenge where the team will inspire you to enter with their lovely designs.
