Vivid Blooms Card #1:  Bold Color

Spellbinders | Vivid Expressions Release
01/11/2025

Hi everyone!

Today and tomorrow, I’ll be featuring the new Vivid Blooms dies and the Sweeping Script BetterPress plates!  I thought it would be fun to do two very different cards with this release because it is super versatile and so much fun to play with.  So be sure to come back tomorrow for card #2!

For today’s card, I decided to nearly fill my card front with bold and cheerful blooms!  

I started out by die cutting all the flowers and leaves in the die set a few times and ink blending them with different colors.  I assembled all the pieces and starting testing out different layouts for my card.  I knew I wanted to use a sentiment from the Sweeping Script BetterPress Plates, so I worked to see how best to arrange my flowers around that.  

Once I decided on the layout, I put the unused blooms off to the side for another day, and I used the BetterPress Plate to add my sentiment to the BetterPress card stock in black BetterPress ink.  I adhered the panel to my card base and began adhering my flowers and leaves to the card front using a combination of liquid glue and foam adhesive.

I love the bold and cheerful feel of this card and I think the scripty sentiment complements the blooms perfectly.  I hope you like it, too!

Don’t forget to stop back tomorrow for a very different card using these same products!

I hope you have a wonderfully creative day!

    I love this scripty sentiment that is going right to the top of my wish list! The bright blooms make this such a bright and happy way to say hello!

I fell in love with card-making many years ago and I’ve been hooked on it ever since. I love trying out new techniques and finding the perfect color combination for whatever I’m creating.

By nature, I am an uber-organizer and a steadfast planner, but as you’ll see, my creations are much more fluid. And while I love color theory, the concept of lights and shadows, and the importance of depth and perspective – these are not things I worry about when it comes to my creations.

I simply find joy in creating and delight in sharing.

I hope that by sharing my cards and other art with you here on my blog I can inspire you to create something you love!
