Last Anemone card!

Last card with Fresh Picked Anemones... at least for a little while.  I had two of the blooms leftover from my previous card, and couldn't let them sit on my craft desk.

I chose a yellow background, and used the Diagonal Stitched Plaid coverplate on it, then added a brushed gold Stitched Scalloped Rectangle frame die (double thickness) - both from Pinkfresh Studio.

I glued down the two flowers, adding their blooms with 3D foam adhesive.  Then I added some spatter with gold paint.  *I think I'll add a sentiment to the front of this one before I mail it out, and maybe a gold pearl or two.

More Fresh Picked Anemones

 While I had this colour palette still out on my craft desk, I decided to try it with the Fresh Picked Anemones dies from Spellbinders.

I've always used this set with bold colours!  So I'm kind of loving the softness of this.  I did a plain white background that I used Altenew's Dotted Tile piercing plate on, and I spattered some gold paint to pick up on the touches of gold on my card.

The sentiment is from the It's Your Day press plate set, that I glimmer hot foiled in gold.  Happy to have two of these on hand!

Colourful Anemone

I have a bright card today, which was inspired by the Fresh Picked Anemone die cut (Spellbinders) that I'd already cut out...  It's a bit of a funky colour combo, so I decided to go with it, and pulled out a bunch of Concord & 9th cardstock colours to create my card.

I placed it over my new favourite Arch Punch & Pierce Plate die, which I mounted on a larger arch created with the Essential Arches dies (both Spellbinders).

The background was created with Altenew's Dotted Tile debossing plate, and I used a gold foiled sentiment and gold paint splatters to finish it off.

Inkspired Wishes

The April Betterpress Society plate set is called 'Inkspired Wishes' - a great set of background accents and five sentiments.  I see them as great images to pair up with other products in my craftroom, this time as a background to some floral dies: 

I pressed the large splatter plate in Lisa Horton Crafts Solid Gold metallic ink onto some teal cardstock. 

Using one of my favourite die sets - Fresh Picked Anemones from Spellbinders, I cut out two of the flowers from the set, in the new cardstock colours for 2025 from Concord & 9th.

I kept it simple by just adding a sentiment from the You Are Everything Sentiments press plates, that was gold embossed.

Fresh Picked Anemones

I recently purchased the pretty Concord & 9th 2024 Colour Collection papers, so I pulled them out to create 3 cards using the Freshed Picked Anemones dies from Spellbinders.

I love making multiples when I'm cardmaking, so this was the perfect opportunity to try out a few colour combinations:

I also tried doing some Betterpress sentiments on the Spellbinders Treasured Cardstock, using the brushed gold paper, and I thought it worked out really well.  I used the Betterpress black ink, and would maybe try a different ink next time to get a darker black impression.  Still happy with the look it gave!

More Fresh Picked!

 I have another colourway using two of the Fresh Picked die sets from Spellbinders.

These are the Fresh Picked Anemones and Fresh Picked Buttercups dies

Love this colour combo of two warm blush pink shades, with an icy blue/green on a navy base.  And a little silver glitter cardstock for some sparkle.

All sentiments are Betterpress on Porcelain cotton card panels.

Fresh Picked Anemones

I'm over the moon to have this die set in my hands!  I really love the Fresh Picked collection by Spellbinders, and have two cards today - made with the Fresh Picked Anemones dies:

Spellbinders dies are just so well thought out - the hardest part was picking my colour combo.  I've reached for my Concord & 9th Navy, which I seem to love for everything these days, along with some warm hues to create both of my cards.

Both sentiments are from Pinkfresh Studio.
