Hello again friends! I’m excited to share a few projects today made with the brand new Fresh Picked Collection from Spellbinders (you can check out the rest of the January release here…there is a ton of fun stuff in this release!) This collection is full of fun and kinda funky florals that you can use to fill an entire cardfront or just as a focal point as well as some cute sentiments and a great basic embossing folder. I created three cards using most of the products in the collection, and can’t wait to make more!
BUTTERCUP SYMPATHY CARD
I loved the dainty flowers in the Fresh Picked Buttercups Die Set, so I picked this one up first to work with. I knew I was making a sympathy card, so I chose some muted, but pretty shades of cardstocks to cut all of my flower branches out of – Velvet Rose, Peach Sorbet, and Sage Cardstock. After cutting, I added some shading with coordinating Distress Inks and assembled everything with liquid glue.
For the background, I embossed a piece of Barely Peach Cardstock with the new Flowers & Foliage 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to a top-folding A2-sized white card base. Then I arranged all of the branches and popped them up on top of the card front with foam adhesive. To finish off the card, I foiled a sentiment from the You Are Everything Sentiments BetterPress Plate Set in gold and added some Gold Mix Gems.
ANEMONE THANK YOU CARD
Although all of the main die sets in the collection can be used to create full card fronts, you can also take just a stem or two and use it as a focal point on your card. Here I cut two of the floral stems from the Fresh Picked Anemone Die Set out of Rainforest, Purple Mist, Lilac Blossom, Royal Amethyst, and Plum Cardstocks and assembled them with liquid glue. I placed them in the center of the card front for a bold and pretty focal point.
To create the background, I blended Peacock Feathers and Salvaged Patina Distress Ink over two-thirds of a piece of white cardstock and then embossed it with the Geo Screen Embossing Folder. After adhering the anemones to the card with foam adhesive, I popped a sentiment cut out of Mirror Silver Cardstock using the Fresh Picked Sentiments Die Set right on top with more foam adhesive. To finish off the card, I added a few Crystal Mix Gems.
DAFFODIL HELLO CARD
Lastly, I love daffodils and really love the funky look of the flowers in the Fresh Picked Daffodils Die Set! I cut mine out of Fern, white, Sunkissed, and Persimmon Cardstocks, assembling them with liquid glue. A bold sentiment from the Fresh Picked Sentiments Die Set was cut out of Mirror Gold Cardstock as well.
To assemble the card, I embossed a piece of Cosmic Sky Cardstock with the new Columns Embossing Folder before adhering it to a top-folding A2-sized white card base with tape runner. Then I popped the flowers up on top of the card front and added the bold sentiment in the lower corner. To complete the card, I foiled a secondary greeting in gold using the Mini Sincere Sentiments Glimmer Plate Set, cut it into a small strip, and added it beneath my “hi”.
