Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Today I’m using the wonderful Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom bundle with the pretty Floral Impressions designer series paper to make a Z-Fold card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a color challenge this week but I only used four of the colors:

Adhere Floral Impressions designer series paper to a Crushed Curry card base with liquid glue. Cut two Basic White ovals and one Garden Green oval using the Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom dies.

Stamp the sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set using Garden Green ink on one of the Basic White ovals and emboss it with the Pressed Flowers embossing folder. Adhere it to the Garden Green oval. Use the oval frame die to cut a Garden Green frame and adhere it to the front of the stamped and embossed Basic White oval with tiny dots of liquid glue.

Use the inside of the Garden Green frame to cut leaves and stems using the Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom dies. Use the flower dies to cut Strawberry Slush, Darling Duckling, Fresh Freesia and Peach Pie card stock. Assemble the flowers by adhering the Darling Duckling flower centers with dimensionals and adhere the Fresh Freesia petals with glue dots. Adhere the leaf sprig, Fresh Freesia and Peach Pie flowers to the embossed oval with glue dots and the Strawberry Slush flower with dimensionals. Adhere the decorated oval panel to the card with liquid glue and finish with In Color flat pearls.

For the inside, Stamp the flower and leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom stamp set in the corner of the last Basic White oval using Strawberry Slush, Darling Duckling and Garden Green inks. Use full strength ink for the detailed stamps and stamped off inks for the background stamps. Adhere the stamped oval to the inside with liquid glue.

The Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom bundle is such a versatile set with beautiful die cut and stamped flowers. The oval dies are really special, especially with the frame!
