    January 13, 2025 / No Comments

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of simple and elegant cards made with the new Vivid Expressions Collection.  The gorgeous BetterPress designs, pretty sentiments, and ornate die sets in this collection all work together beautifully to create stunning cards with ease.   Here I chose a pretty purple palette to work with the collection and create three cards for different occasions. Gilded Anniversary Card I loved the gorgeous border patterns from the Pressed Lace Borders Press Plate & Die Set and thought they would look beautiful foiled and flanking the center panel of an anniversary card.
