Impressions Abloom for As You See It 345

 It's colour week here at As You See It Challenge. I'm especially excited for it as this colour combination was my choice! I hope you are keen to pick up the colours and make something for the new challenge. 

It's been quite hard trying to keep my New Year crafting resolution in sight -which was to play more challenges just for fun. This week, I kind of kept at it by combining my Design Team card with the latest challenge at Freshly Made Sketches.


Still on my desk was the pre-order bundle from the May Online Exclusive drop, Impressions Abloom.
The dies in the bundle are fabulous, with not only dies that match the stamped images but with a lot of extra bits and pieces too. It's some of those that I've enlisted for this card.


The sentiment is from the set and I've used one of the rounded rectangle dies from Nested Essentials to cut it with. 


The Pressed Flowers embossing folder is part of this new suite and I'm loving it. I think it works with many sets and not just this one. 

To give subtle emphasis to the centre panel, I edged it with a Gorgeous Grape Stampin' Write marker and popped it up on dimensionals. 

The embellishments are Fine Purple Shimmer Gems, which are carrying over into the new catalogue.

The 2025-26 Annual Catalogue and associated On line Exclusives Drop will be available to view and order from on 6 May. 

The whole team would love to see what you do with these colours. You can see what the rest of the team have done, and link up your entry, at the As You See It Challenge page.

If you live in New Zealand and don't have a Stampin' Up Demonstrator, I'd love to be yours. I can help you with ideas, get you catalogues and provide you with Stampin' Up products. You can leave a message in the comments or contact me using any of the methods listed in the Contact Me tab at the top of the page. 

You can stamp with me, and shop with me, from anywhere in New Zealand. Click here.

  2. I was glad to see this bundle being used, as it is on my "maybe" list! Your colors are bold and bright and you used them perfectly. As always, you have the best embossed backgrounds too!

  3. I didn't really notice this set in the online essentials, but you'd better guess that I'm sitting up and taking notice now! This is a perfect illustration, both for our challenge colours and the FMS sketch! Love the background embossing, too!

  5. These flowers are so beautiful - can't wait to play with mine! I didn't get the EF, but now I'm wondering if I should have - it looks great behind those bright structured flowers for sure.
