I have a brand new bundle to share with you today. The Impressions Abloom is from the Online Exclusive range from Stampin’ Up and I paired it with the Everyday Arches dies to create an unusual card front.
There is so much to talk about with this card from the die cut detailed flowers, to the beautiful new Secret Sea In colour card and the arched card front, let me share with you in more detail.
Die cut detail flowers
The Impressions Abloom Dies contains a staggering 25 dies, three of which are outline dies for the flowers. But the cool part is that there is a die centre for each of the flower dies which is optional to use. If you use and nest inside the outline flower shape die and run through your die cutting machine, you will die cut beautiful lined detail to give your flowers more depth and dimension. It is super easy to see which die cut centre goes with each flower and there is two flower centre outline dies and two more dies that nestle into the centre to give the centre of the flower amazing dimension too.
New In Colour Secret Sea
Stampin’ Up have launched 5 brand new In Colours which add some more colour options to our range. One of the colour is Secret Sea which is a dark, intense blue/black colour. It is a colour I did not know I needed but since I got my hands on it, I can’t seem to stop using it! I used the Secret Sea to cut my leaves which add a lovely pop to the subtle flowers. I also stamped part of my greeting with the Secret Sea Ink too. Did you notice that the die cut leaves also have the extra die cut detail in the centre too? There is no additional die for the centre of the leaves, it just die cuts the shape and detail with one die.
Arched Card Front
We have a great versatile set of dies called Everyday Arches which are nested arches which are so handy and have so many uses. I wanted to use the largest arch die to make a card front. It wasn’t quite long enough but I partially die cut the arch piece but didn’t take the straight edge through my die cutting machine. That meant I could continue the long side cuts with my trimmer and use a pokey tool to add my own pierced edge. I think it worked well and I am sure you could not tell if I had not shared. The oval die in white on the card front is from the Impressions Abloom die set and echoed the curved edges of the Every Arches dies.
I had to make the inside pretty too….
I am sure you will be seeing lots more inspiration from the Impressions Abloom bundle as it has a great mix of image and sentiments with the fabulous matching die set.
