Spellbinders has just released a fun new Better Press collection called Florals Throughout the Years and they were gracious enough to send me a few. These floral plates are actually part of a calendar set appropriately named 2025 DIY Calendar Press Plates. The complete collection allows you to create beautiful desk calendars showcasing a different floral for each month. As you will see from my examples, the florals make stunning cards in addition to calendar pages.
I created three cards featuring the April's Sweet Pea Better Press Plate along with additional sentiments.
In my first two examples I utilized the floral name plate in my card design, adding in a stamped Happy Birthday to complete the sentiment. I opted to create a sympathy/thinking of you card in my third design.
For those wondering about inks. All of my designs were created using different shades of Distress Oxide inks onto white linen cardstock. I love the shading I can get with multiple colors of ink.
I used different mat shapes to set off each design just a bit differently. I also used three different embossing folders on the front of the card bases. In this way I have three unique cards using just one focal Better Press set.
Supplies:
Spellbinders - April Sweet Pea Better Press plate set
Spellbinders - Essential Modern Oval die set
Spellbinders - Notched Corner Frame die set
Spellbinders - Intertwined embossing folder
Spellbinders - Tiled Motif embossing folder
Spellbinders - Leafy Helix embossing folder
Ellen Hutson - You're a Treasure stamp set
I hope you enjoyed my first set of floral cards. I will be back in a couple of days to showcase another of my favorite florals from this set.
Thanks so much for stopping by!!! Always appreciated!
Jules
