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!

Stampin’ Up! With You In Mind Thank You Card

Good Morning! Here is a quick layered thank you card made with the Stampin’ Up! With You In Mind stamp set and the Floral Impressions designer series paper. I’m not going to go into the details of the construction of the card as it’s fairly straightforward. But you can still find the card stock cuts for this card along with the supplies at the bottom of my post.

I’m going to take a break from blogging for the summer so this is my last card for a while. I want to say thank you to all my followers for the support over the last six years. It’s been a fun and enjoyable creative journey and I’ve learned so much.

Take care of yourselves, God Bless You, Have a great summer and Happy Stamping!

Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts Congratulations Card

Good Morning! It’s Graduation season and I always like to make feminine Congratulations cards for the young ladies getting diplomas and degrees. With all the pretty new floral designer series papers that have just come out, there are so many fresh options to use with the Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts stamp set and dies for a quick card or gift card holder. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I folded the 1-1/4″ end of the Darling Duckling card base to the inside and adhered the ends with Tear-N-Tape to make a pocket for a standard gift card.

I adhered a panel of the Floral Impressions DSP to the dark side of a Garden Green two tone mat and adhered it to the front of the card with liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts stamp set using Pecan Pie ink on Basic White and cut it out with the coordinating die. I cut the large background die from the light side of the Garden Green two tone card stock and adhered the word to the background. I adhered Darling Duckling ribbon to the card with Stampin’ Seal and popped the layered label on top with dimensionals. I finished with three pearls.

For the inside of the card, I adhered a panel of Garden Green Floral Impressions DSP to the bottom of a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts stamp set using Pecan Pie ink and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love how the inside panel DSP trim peeks out when the card is closed. The coordinating word stamps and dies in the Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts stamps and dies make the gift card holder both easy and fancy. And the wonderful floral and coordinating geometric patterns in the Floral impressions DSP makes it pretty!

Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom Book Fold Card

Good Morning! Here is a Book Fold card made with the new Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom bundle and the pretty Floral Impressions designer series paper. These are from the latest Online Exclusives release a few weeks ago. I also used new In Colors – Strawberry Slush and Darling Duckling. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

After scoring my Darling Duckling card base, I adhered the ‘book’ section on the left side together using liquid glue. I adhered the pretty Floral Impressions DSP to light Garden Green mats and adhered the panels to the card front with liquid glue.

The Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom stamps are designed for two-step stamping with a detailed stamp and a background stamp for each image. I stamped the detailed stamps first and lined up the background stamps afterward. For the large flower, I used Strawberry Slush for the detailed stamp and stamped off Pretty In Pink for the background. I used Pecan Pie and Crushed Curry for the flower center and Garden Green and stamped off Granny Apple Green for the leaves. After stamping, I cut each image with the coordinating dies and used a ball stylus and a foam pad to make little circles on the back of the die cuts to make domes on the petals, leaves and flower center. This gives each piece dimension. I adhered the flower center using dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom stamp set using Versamark ink on Strawberry Slush. I sprinkled it with white embossing powder, shook off the excess and heated it with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny. I cut it out with a rectangle from the Nesting Essentials dies and adhered it to the card with glue dots. I adhered the layered flower to the card with glue dots and tucked the leaves underneath, adhering them with more glue dots. I wrapped the side with Strawberry Slush ribbon, tying a know and securing it with another glue dot. I finished with beautiful Darling Duckling iridescent dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flower, flower center and leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom stamp set using the same colors as the front in the corner of a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom bundle is so versatile with stamped floral images, die cuts and pretty sentiments. All the pretty new designer series papers and stamps are so inspiring and really motivate me for Spring card making.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom Card

Good Morning! Welcome the new Stampin’ Up! 2025-2026 Annual Catalog! Today is the first day that the catalog is open for orders! It’s full of new products and returning favorites. Click on the picture below to download a copy or view it online.

In addition to the new catalog, a new release of Online Exclusive products is available today and I used one of the new bundles, the Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom bundle to make a quick card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I used the Basic White Note cards and envelopes for my card base – the card size is 3-1/2″ x 5″ and they are also good for mailing. I adhered a panel of Pool Party Floral Impressions designer series paper to a Pool Party mat.

I used the large and small flower dies from the Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom dies with the inserts to cut a Strawberry Slush panel. Strawberry Slush is one of the new 2025-2027 In Colors. I used a sponge dauber to apply Strawberry Slush ink to the center of the large die cut flower and the edges of both flowers. I curved the petals of the large flower downward and the petals of the small flower upwards with my fingers to give it dimension and adhered the flowers together with a glue dot. I cut the small flower center with the two sets of dies from Timid Tiger, another new 2025-2027 In Color, and adhered the flower center with a dimensional.

I cut the single stem and two leaf dies from the Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom dies from Mossy Meadow card stock and adhered the stem to the back of the flower with a glue dot. I adhered the flower and leaves to the DSP panel with glue dots. I wrapped the panel with white ribbon tying a knot over the stem and adhered the panel to the front of a Basic White note card with dimensionals. I finished the card with Pool Party dots. The stamp set has pretty sentiments, but I didn’t use one for this card and I also left the inside blank.

The Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom stamps have pretty two step stamping florals and sentiments. And the dies are unique in that they can cut stamped images or be used with the inserts for textured flowers like I made for today’s card. And it’s finally available today!!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
