    Combining Foil and BetterPress for Simple and Pretty Encouragement Cards

    June 17, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams, and I’m thrilled to be back on the blog today to share a couple of simple and pretty cards made with the Modern Botanicals Collection by Dina Wakley. The fun new embossing folders and abstract BetterPress plate designs in this collection combine beautifully with her previously-released designs.  I was inspired to mix foiling with letterpress techniques to create three easy encouragement cards. Things Will Work Out Card The fun elements in the Flourishing BetterPress Plate Set can be arranged in limitless ways or you can use the included registration template for easy placement.  Here I used Dina’s arrangement, but combined a little foil with…

    Colorful Floral Cards Created with the Bayfair Card Maker’s Kit

    June 16, 2024 / No Comments

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of pretty floral cards made with the Bayfair Card Maker’s Kit.  The beautiful floral dies, bright patterns, and fun embellishments in the collection inspired me to create three colorful cards perfect for sending a summer hello. Colorful Smile Card I loved the bold patterns in the Bayfair 6×6 Paper Pad and thought they would be beautifully paired with some colorful florals and gold accents for this pretty card to make a friend smile. Trim a piece of the green patterned paper from the Bayfair 6×6 Paper Pad to 4” x…

    Fun Ways to Use Patterned Paper in Your Cardmaking Projects

    March 31, 2024 / 3 Comments

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of easy and fun ways to use patterned paper in your cardmaking projects.  Patterned papers can be a little intimidating to some due to busy patterns or bright colors, but I hope these techniques can help to show how easily they can add texture and color to an otherwise plain card. Pretty Floral Hello Card I love buffalo plaid, but it can be a very bold look and draw too much attention away from your focal point sometimes.  Here I toned this blue plaid pattern down a bit by splitting…
