Clean & Simple Pastel Floral Cards

Making Extras with the Beads of Friendship Collection
Hello! Jen Kotas is here today with three cards featuring the Beads of Friendship Collection. This collection has tiny press plate or stamped letters to create lots of friendship bracelets to use with or without the die-cut hands. There are also die-cut shapes and bracelets. For these cards I created multiples of everything except the hands and stamped sentiments and letters. I have a lot leftover that I can pull out for future use with other components of this collection or I could even pair them up with the new Shine Bright Collection. I began by impressing the Bestie Alphabet Beads Press Plate and Die Set letters in a rainbow…

Yana’s Poppies with Emily Midgett
Hi friends! Emily Midgett here with you today from Sixth Street Sundries, and I had the distinct pleasure of playing with goodies from Yana Smakula’s new floral collection called Yana’s Poppies. I have been such a fan of Yana’s work for such a long time, so it is always a privilege to play with products that she has curated. I know that poppies are traditionally red, but I am always up for making things fit my own style, and I know that Himalayan Blue poppies do in fact exist, so I decided to make a trio of projects inspired by those unique flowers! For my first project, I decided to…

Beat the Winter Blues with Flowers From the Garden
Hi friends! Emily Midgett here on the Spellbinders Blog today, and I’m super excited to be sharing some soft and elegant inspiration using the stunning new From the Garden collection by Wendy Vecchi. I am a sucker for anything floral, and these beautiful floral images from this collection have stolen my heart! Let’s get started with the details. Whenever I am working with a group of coordinating products, I find it such fun to create a coordinating card set using similar colors but tweaking the layout and products used. Keeping the color scheme the same throughout the set helps keep everything cohesive! Blue is one of my favorite colors, in…

I loved playing with different ways to use this fun new shape in my cardmaking and was inspired to create a couple of pretty cards in three different styles. Sleek and Modern Friendship Card Since we’re working with “gems” here, I pulled out my favorite color of Glimmer Hot Foil to use with the new Hexi-Gem Glimmer Hot Foil Plate. Moondust Hot Foil creates an amazing iridescent finish that reminds me of blue topaz. Here I did some simple foiling for…

Here I used some fun punctuation and a snarky greeting along with my stitched numbers for this cute birthday card for a friend. I…
