Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some fun plans in the works. It’s going to be a warm one here in NJ. I heard it’s supposed to be in the 80’s today and back to the 50’s tomorrow. I’ll be at work all day today and after work I’m going to a school fund raiser tomorrow night. I don’t have any kids in school any longer, but I still support our schools.

Today’s card is one that I made at OnStage After Hours. I didn’t follow the directions they gave us; I did what I wanted to do. I challenged myself to use my least favorite colors and to put the panel on an angle. When I got home, I felt it was too plain, so I made some changes. Here’s my card for today.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Impressions Abloom Bundle for my card today. This bundle will be available along with the new In-Colors that I used, on May 6.

Start by stamping the stem and detailed leaf images from the Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom Stamp Set on a panel of Basic White in Garden Green Ink. Stamp the solid leaf image from the Impressions Abloom stamp set in garden Green Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the detailed leaf images.

Stamp the daisy image from Impressions Abloom stamp set in Timid Tiger Ink on the stems. Stamp the detailed daisy image on a separate panel of Basic White also. I have to admit, I’m really liking this Timid Tiger In-Color, it’s a pretty orange. Stamp the solid daisy image from Impressions Abloom stamp set in Timid tiger Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the detailed images. Stamp the detailed flower center image from Impressions Abloom stamp set in Darling Duckling Ink in the center of the flowers. Stamp the solid flower center image in Darling Duckling Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the detailed images. Cut the one daisy that is stamped on a separate panel of Basic White out using the Impressions Abloom Dies.

Stamp the sentiments from Impressions Abloom stamp set in Garden Green Ink on the top of the panel. Adhere a panel of Darling Duckling to the front of a Timid Tiger card base using Stampin’ Seal on an angle. Adhere the artwork panel over the Darling Duckling panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the die cut daisy to the center daisy using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add 2025 – 2027 In-Color Flat Pearls to the flower centers.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from Impressions Abloom stamp set in Garden Green Ink. Stamp the stem and leaf images from the Impressions Abloom stamp set in Garden Green Ink on the bottom of the panel. Stamp the detailed daisy image in Timid Tiger Ink on the stem. Stamp the solid daisy image in Timid Tiger Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the detailed image. Stamp the flower center image in Darling Duckling Ink in the center of the flower. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Darling Duckling mat then to the inside of the Timid Tiger card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish the card. Stamp the stem and leaf images from Impressions Abloom stamp set in Garden Green Ink on the envelope front and flap. Stamp the detailed daisy image from Impressions Abloom stamp set in Timid Tiger Ink on the stems. Stamp the solid daisy image in Timid Tiger Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the detailed images. Stamp the flower centers in Darling Duckling Ink.
