📌 I created this 4.75” x 4.25” card using several charming elements from the Spellbinders Take Note Collection! I used the BetterPress Take Note Press Plate two ways: first, traditionally with ink for the notepaper look, and second, dry embossed into the background for a subtle bit of texture. I built a rainy day scene layered with clouds, raindrops, and a cheerful umbrella — complete with playful touches like a sunshine corner, push pin, and the sweetest sentiment: “Friends make every view brighter.” A bright little reminder that cloudy days don’t last when you’ve got good friends nearby!

This card features the gorgeous gladiolus from Lisa Horton’s Wildflowers Collection at Spellbinders, paired with soft golden tones and elegant layers. I used a BetterPress plate to add delicate script texture to the background, blending in warm ink for a soft, sun-kissed glow ☀️. The stitched oval panel gives the florals a clean focal point, while the sentiment — “You make every moment golden” — brings it all together beautifully. It’s the perfect way to brighten someone’s day with a little handmade sunshine!
