It’s time for InKing Royalty’s April 2019 Blog Hop! This year’s Blog Hop themes are inspired by a single word – and this month our projects are centered around SPRING. I used the Abstract Impressions bundle (Abstract Impressions stamp set and Springtime Impressions Thinlits Dies) along with one of my favorite patterns from the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper. Now if that isn’t Springy, I don’t know what is! By the way, the stamp set and dies are carrying over to the new annual catalog, but they won’t be available as a bundle to save 10% – so if you want it, I recommend getting it before June 3, so you can save!
Be sure to hop all the way around to all the stops. This is a very talented group of stampers and you don’t want to miss any of their Spring themed projects.

Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
- Night of Navy card stock (CS) cut to 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, then scored at 2-1/8″ and 6-3/8″, to form a gate fold card base
- Mango Melon CS layers cut to 4″ x 2-1/4″ (2 pieces)
- Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper (DSP) layers cut to 3-3/4″ x 2″ (2 pieces)
- So Saffron CS cut to 2-3/4″ x 1″” for the sentiment
- So Saffron CS cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″ for the inside of the card basex
Stamped with the Abstract Impressions stamp set:
- outside sentiment in Night of Navy ink onto the small So Saffron CS
- inside sentiment in Night of Navy ink onto the large So Saffron CS
Die cut using the Springtime Impressions Thinlits:
- a butterfly from a scrap of So Saffron CS
Assembled the card:
- burnished the folds in the card base with a Bone Folder
- DSP layers glued onto the Mango Melody CS layers
- left half of a Mango Melody CS layer glued onto the left side of the front of the card base
- right have of the other Mango Melody CS layer glued onto the right side of the front of the card base
- butterfly body glued onto the upper DSP layer (left the wings loose and bent them up a bit for a 3D effect)
- sentiment adhered onto the lower DSP layer using Stampin’ Dimensionals
- larger So Saffron CS glued onto the inside of the card basex
