Friendship - Right as Rain

Spellbinders | CAS Anemone Blooms

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS friendship card to showcase products in the Spellbinders Anemone Blooms Collection designed by Yana Smakula. I previously shared a card using products from the collection here.

Cut Anemones from Phone Booth cardstock. Tape bloom pieces from the back. (I found that if I only made one pass with the cutting machine and carefully removed the die-cut, I was able to keep the bloom pieces in the frame.)
Cut center pieces from Onyx cardstock with the Anemones die. Insert centers into floral clusters.
Cut outline of Anemones from Snowdrift cardstock and adhere to floral piece.
Glimmer foil sentiment with plate in the Inside Card Glimmer Sentiments set in Opaque Black on a Sea Glass cardstock panel. The messages in the set work on both the front and inside of cards. Trim panel to 4 inches x 5 1/4 inches.
Add assembled anemones to panel and embellish with Silver Mix Gems.

Lawn Fawn | Plant-A-Succulent

Hello! Today I am showcasing the Lawn Fawn Plant-A-Succulent die set, which was part of their Spring 2022 release, on a friendship card.

I colored Soft Finish Cardstock with a variety of Distress Oxide inks which I cut with the dies in the Plant-A-Succulent set for the pots with faces and the plants.
I glued the die-cut pots and plants together. The pieces are designed for easy assembly.
I stamped the Lawn Fawn sentiment (a complimentary stamp included in a Lawn Fawn order) on a panel colored with Distress Oxide inks in shades of yellow and orange. (The panel was something I had in a stash of ink-colored cardstock).
For the base, I added Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink to a Light Brown Woodgrain cardstock strip.
I created a frame from white cardstock by diecutting the largest die in the Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables set within the largest die in the Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables set.
