Facebook Live Replay - Impressions Abloom

 Stampin' Up! is getting ready to release new Online Exclusive sets on May 5th, I thought we could use a "Sneak Peak" of the Impressions Abloom Suite. It's a gorgeous stamp set, great dies and specialty designer series paper; and it was a great set to show off a Fun Fold called the Accordian Fold.

Here is a close up of the card:


It turned out great, and I just love this suite. 

Project Recipe:

STAMP SET: Impressions Abloom (Online Exclusive)

INK: Early Espresso, Darling Duckling, Garden Green, Old Olive, Crushed Curry

PAPER: Darling Duckling Base, Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper (Online Exclusive) layer, White

CUTTING & SCORING:

  • Darling Duckling Base 5 1/2" x 11" Score at 1 3/4", 3 1/2", 5 1/4" & 7"
  • Darling Duckling Little Card 3" x 6" Score at 3"

So Sorry for Your Loss

 Sometimes you just need a certain stamp set to make a card for someone who has lost their pet. For that reason I keep certain stamp sets, even though they are now retired. This is a classic stamp set in my opinion, especially if you love dogs.

Here is a close up of the card that I created.


Project Recipe:

STAMP SET: Happy Tails

INK: Memento Black

PAPER: Crumb Cake Base, White Layer, Timeless Plaid, Real Red Scraps

ACCESSORIES: Dog Punch 

Even though the stamp set and punch is retired, this is a classic in my book.  Is there a set that you have hung onto just because?

Thanks for tuning in, take care.

Cindy
