Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom Daisies

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.

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom Daisies 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

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.

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom Daisies 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

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.

Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom in Strawberry Slush

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. Well, it’s the last Wednesday of March. Another month gone, but that means it’s going to be getting warmer, and the days are longer, YAY!! My tulips are starting to pop up, my crocus are blooming and so are my mini-iris. Last year we had my front yard dug up to plant a new tree. They dug everything up to get most of the roots from the old tree out. I had a large garden in front of my house and since they were digging everything up, I told them to plant grass all around the new tree. I completely forgot about all the flower bulbs I had planted in the garden. Well, they are all blooming in the middle of all my new grass and it looks so pretty.

Today’s card is one that I made at OnStage After Hours. It’s a very CAS card since we had very minimum to work with, meaning stamps, ink, paper and a few embellishments. Here’s the finished card with a sneak peek of a couple of the new 2025-2027 In-Colors for today.

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom in Strawberry Slush 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom Photopolymer Stamp Set (available May 6th) for my card today.

Stamp the large, solid flower image from Impressions Abloom stamp set in Strawberry Slush Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the detailed image. Stamp the large, detailed flower center image from the Impressions Abloom stamp set in Secret Sea Ink in the center of the flower. Stamp the solid flower center image in Secret Sea Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the detailed image.

Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes CAS

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope your weekend is going well. Last night we were invited to a surprise 50th wedding anniversary party. I haven’t seen the couple in quite a few years since they moved to DE. Their daughter messaged me asking for my address. If I remember right Joyce, the one the party was for, trained me many, many years ago when I first started working at the hardware store. Kelly, her daughter that contacted me, was one of my flower girls in my wedding almost 37 years ago. It was a lot of fun seeing everyone again and catching up.

I played with a new Online Exclusive set today. I made is very clean and simple with Stamps, Ink and Paper. I did have to add a couple embellishments though. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Textured Notes CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Textured Notes Cling Stamp Set along with the Linked Together Decorative Masks for my card today.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketched #678.

My colors are from the Color Throwdown Challenge #829

Stampin' Up! Textured Notes CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using Mask #1 from the Linked Together Masks, add Lemon Lime Twist Ink using the Small Blending Brush in just a small area on the Basic White card front. Using Mask #3 from the Linked Together Masks, add more Lemon Lime Twist Ink with the Small Blending Brush in the same small area giving it some definition.

Stampin' Up! Textured Notes CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the large leaf image from the Textured Notes stamp set in Garden Green Ink over the masked area.

Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes CAS

Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Do you have today off for Presidents’ Day? I’ll be in the office all day.

I have a super simple CAS card for you today that’s also quick and easy. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Textured Notes CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Textured Notes Cling Stamp Set for my card today. This set will be available starting March 4th.

My color are from the Color Throwdown Challenge #826.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches #673

Stampin' Up! Textured Notes CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Start by placing a mask with a circle cut out over a Basic White card front. Add Flirty Flamingo Ink using a Blending Brush.

Stampin' Up! Textured Notes CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the large leafy image from the Textured Notes stamp set in Early Espresso Ink over the circle.

Stampin' Up! Textured Notes CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from the Textured Notes stamp set in Early Espresso Ink next to the leafy image. Tie a small bow with the Flirty Flamingo Baker’s Twine and adhere it using a Glue Dot. Add a few Pecan Pie Ribboned Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Textured Notes stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. Stamp the leafy image from the Textured Notes stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Flirty Flamingo mat then to the inside of the Early Espresso card base.
