I’ve been having such fun today playing with the gorgeous Springtime Impressions Thinlit dies and lots of lovely Spring/Summer colours. This fab die set is available as a bundle with the Abstract Impressions stamp set at a 10% discount in my online shop. For the cards today I have only used the Springtime Impressions Thinlit Dies.
Card 1
I began by taking the large, detailed floral corner die and running it through my Big Shot. I used Whisper White cardstock and following Stampin’ Up’s! latest advice I ran it through the Big Shot with the cutting side facing up and It cut like a dream and was so much easier to get out of the die.

I then took a panel of Whisper White 5⅜” by 3⅝” and laid the intricate die cut on top and slightly overlapping the bottom left corner. I then opened up my Berry Burst, Flirty Flamingo, Powder Pink, Highland Heather, So Saffron and Granny Apple Green ink pads and using a Sponge Dauber for each colour I coloured in the flowers and leaves making sure to tap the ink on and not to rub at all. I held the die cut firmly in place with a finger as I didn’t want it to move. When I lifted the die cut piece away it revealed a gorgeous stencilled image. I just love these colours together. I then rounded the upper right corner with the Detailed Trio Punch.
I added a strip of Flirty Flamingo ruched ribbon which has retired and adhered it to the back using Sellotape. The sentiment comes from the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set and was stamped on scrap Whisper White cardstock in Granny Apple Green ink and I die cut using one of the sweet labels from the Lakeside Framelits. I die cut one end then the other to give a shorter banner. I repeated this technique with a scrap of Granny Apple Green cardstock and adhered the 2 together with Tombow Liquid Adhesive and adhered over the ribbon with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
This panel was then added to a layer of Granny Apple Green cardstock 5½” by 3¾” after rounding the upper right corner and added to a Thick Whisper White card base with Tombow having again rounded the upper right corner.
Card 2
For the second card I took the coloured in die cut and added it to a Whisper White panel 5⅜” by 3⅝” using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. As the die cut is so detailed I like to add the glue to the back with a small piece Stampin’ Sponge. I add a blob of glue to my Silicon Craft Sheet and pick it up with the sponge then dab the glue all over.

I stamped the same sentiment in Flirty Flamingo ink and rounded the lower right corner with the Detailed Trio Punch. I added this layer to a panel of Flirty Flamingo cardstock 5½” by 3¾” with a rounded lower right corner using Tombow. The whole panel was then added to a So Saffron card base, also with rounded lower right corners, using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I love these pretty feminine cards, hope you like them.
