Hello   I can't believe it's almost the end of May already. Where did the month go. We had a fabulous trip to Orlando, Florida, and it was so
great to spend time with my Sister, Lorie. We haven't done that forever. Now, I am excited to share some upcoming stuff in the world of Stampin' Up! You can read all about it below. I hope you have a wonderful weekend, and get some crafty time in too. Â Â

Creative Inspiration with a SketchHere's this month's sketch: And here's the project it inspired: The new Online Exclusive Floral Impressions Suite Collection features pretty florals as layered stamp images, textured die cuts, and paper patterns.  A layer of Fresh Freesia Cardstock was embossed using the Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder, trimmed to measure 3¾" x 5", and adhered directly to a Fresh
Freesia folded card base.Â
The large elongated oval die from the Impressions Abloom Dies was used to cut a solid oval from the floral pattern shown from the Floral Impressions 12" x 12" (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Designer Series Paper. This oval was adhered to the left-hand side of the card front, over the embossed panel, and the overhang trimmed.Â
The sentiment, from the Impressions Abloom Photopolymer Stamp Set, was stamped using Misty Moonlight Classic Stampin' Ink on a ¾" x 3½"
strip of Basic White Cardstock. Using dies from the Impressions Abloom Dies, two textured flower elements were die cut from Blackberry Bliss Cardstock and one from Misty Moonlight Cardstock, and flower centres die cut from Fresh Freesia Cardstock. The centres were adhered to each flower, and then the three adhered to the left edge of the sentiment strip. The sentiment strip was then adhered to the card front, and the excess trimmed from the right-hand side. Two-Tone Sparkle Gems were added as
embellishments.Â
