Spring has sprung! Thank goodness – and fingers crossed that the weather stays spring-like. This is a card we did this month in class – a spring thank you card!
This card features the Abstract Impressions discounted bundle – which includes the Abstract Impressions Photopolymer Stamp Set (the clear stamps) and the Springtime Impressions Thinlits Dies. While we wait to see what will be carried over into the next Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue (coming out in June 2019), one thing that usually happens is that current bundles are discontinued. The individual products may appear in the next catalogue, but the discounted bundle option is no longer available. So – if you like these products, you may want to consider grabbing this bundle soon!
For this card, we played with the Big Shot Embossing Mat – which allows you to emboss with the metal dies, rather than cut. This means you can use these tools in more ways and get more value! (Maybe I should have saved this card for a Frugal Friday feature?!). For this card, the corner flower die was used to emboss the Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock. I love the texture it gives without drawing too much attention away from the die cut butterfly. These colours and images were just perfect for a spring thank you card, in my opinion!
The sentiment is stamped onto a strip of Vellum Cardstock, and then adhered in place with Mini Glue Dots, which are then hidden by the Rhinestone Basic Jewels on the strip. A bit of Silver Metallic Thread and Silver 3/8″ Metallic-Edge Ribbon are the other accents.
