Impressions Abloom for Stampin’ Through the Catalogue

Impressions Abloom for Stampin’ Through the Catalogue. A quick post from me today. Back when I was working Stampin’ Up! as a Business, I would enter the Stampin’ Through the Catalogue challenges pretty much all the time. Now that I am simply enjoying being part of the amazing Stampin’ Up! community, I don’t have as much current product. Over the weekend I spotted that they are featuring Impressions Abloom, which I have!

Time for a quick card, using some of the products from this Online Exclusive Suite. I decided to use one of the papers for the framed piece and the flowers.

I added some Shy Shamrock stalks and foliage. The foliage is actually vellum coloured with Stampin’ Blends. This adds a lighter touch and can help from making the project too overwhelming. The frame and card base are both Azure Afternoon, with the frame having 3 layers.

I hope you can see that both the flowers and the flower centres are cut from the paper, not card. This adds extra depth from the patterns.

I wanted to add a sentiment, but didn’t want that to take over the project. In these situations I often opt for heat embossing on vellum. I used a sentiment from Impressions Abloom. I took care not to overheat the image and then fussy cut around it with small scissors. Adding vellum to a project can be tricky. You don’t want the adhesive to show. But, a couple of dots of ‘green glue’ worked well.

Thank you for visiting today, I hope you enjoyed your time here
