Floral Impressions: A Blooming Good Time

The brand new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog has officially launched, and it’s chock full of creative goodies! Also released is a fresh batch of Online Exclusives you won’t find in the catalog.

One of my absolute favorites from the Online Exclusives is the Floral Impressions Suite Collection—a vibrant, flower-filled bundle of inspiration. Since it’s not included in the catalog, be sure to head over to my ONLINE STORE to explore this beauty, all the new exclusives, and of course, everything from the fabulous new annual catalog!

The Floral Impressions Suite Collection is a vibrant blooming bundle of creativity you won’t want to miss. Imagine all your favorite flowers coming together for the ultimate garden party—that’s exactly the bold, beautiful energy this collection brings. It’s bursting with color, texture, and serious flower power to brighten up your craft room!

This suite is like that determined creeping vine in your garden—always reaching for more sunshine, popping up where you least expect it, and somehow managing to be effortlessly gorgeous. From the vibrant Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper to the intricately detailed Impressions Abloom Stamp Set and coordinating Impressions Abloom Dies, every element works together like a perfectly arranged bouquet. And unlike your real flower beds (no judgment—we’ve all forgotten to water a petunia), these paper blossoms stay fabulous all year long.

Looking to add some texture? The Pressed Flowers Embossing Folder captures the delicate beauty of real pressed blooms, stems and all, giving your projects a natural, handcrafted feel. And when your projects are calling for a little sparkle, the Strawberry Slush & Pretty in Pink Gems add just the right pop of shimmer!

So grab your favorite adhesive, a stack of coordinating cardstock, and maybe a vase of real flowers for inspiration. With the Floral Impressions Suite Collection, every project becomes a fresh-cut celebration of color, creativity, and floral fun. Now go forth and bloom, paper gardener!


Floral Impressions Greeting Cards

TIP: Add texture to your background with an embossing folder! Here, I used the Impressions of Abloom Dies to cut the oval shape, then embossed it with the Pressed Flowers Embossing Folder. To add detail, I lightly colored the die-cut flowers with a Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blend, then layered the sentiment right on top.

TIP: Create your own Designer Series Paper by stamping repetitive or random patterns! For this one, I used the Impressions of Abloom Stamps. The leaves are stamped with Old Olive Ink, while the flowers are stamped with Secret Sea Ink, one of the stunning new 2025-2027 In Colors featured in the 2025 Annual Catalog.

TIP: Get creative with your dies by using them in unexpected ways! For this design, I cut the oval from the Impressions Abloom Dies in half to create a mirrored layout and layered die-cut florals and a sentiment in the center. I also reused the outer edge from a previous Secret Sea cardstock die-cut to frame the center oval of DSP, adding a subtle pop of color and extra detail.

TIP: I absolutely love the design of the Pressed Flowers Embossing Folder and wanted to create something that really lets it shine. The simplicity of a monochromatic design—just the embossed texture paired with a clean “Thanks” sentiment—keeps the focus right where it belongs.

TIP: Add extra detail by using the small pieces from the Impressions Abloom Dies as embellishments in a coordinating color.


Floral Impressions Scrapbooking

TIP: Add depth and dimension to your scrapbook pages with layered die cuts! The Impressions of Abloom Dies are perfect for building soft, floral layers—try mixing solid and patterned DSP in coordinating colors for a dynamic look. Tuck elements behind photos or journaling blocks to create a cohesive, flowing design that draws the eye across the page.
