    Yana’s Blooms Collection – Card Inspiration with Annie Williams

    January 20, 2022 / No Comments

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of projects using the new Yana’s Blooms Collection by Yana Smakula.  The gorgeous florals, versatile backgrounds and borders, and pretty sentiments in this collection inspired me to create three bold cards with tons of gold foiling. Magnolia Blooms Thank You Card Magnolias are one of my favorite early spring flowers and I couldn’t wait to use all of the beautiful versions of them in this collection. Here I’ve cut and colored the Magnolia Blooms design and added it to a pretty foiled background for this bright thank you card. Trim…

    For my first card, I used the stitched ornament etched dies. First, I die-cut the stitched ornament from Poppy Field cardstock.  Then, I used some gold metallic thread to stitch through the die-cut holes.  Once I finished stitching, I die-cut the detail piece for the ornament from brushed gold cardstock two times.  I glued them to the top and bottom of the ornament.
