Hello! I’m enjoying the sunshine today! It really warms up the house…thankful for that in this below zero weather we’ve been having!
Meanwhile flowers are growing in my stamp room!
Two cards to share with you today…NEW dies and NEW papers!
I inked up the NEW Blooming Anemone and NEW Elegant Anemone dies with Distress Ink and the mini blending tools. I die cut the florals from Bristol cardstock and used Peacock Feathers and Pine Needles Distress Inks.
Two NEW 6×6 paper pads from Memory Box, Anemone Plaid and Anemone Grove.
I made this card base a mini slimline size. I do love this size…just something charming about it with the florals, inking and plaid. Wish I could show it to you in person!
The florals are so easy to put together. I love that. I just follow the pattern on the envelope by laying the pieces on top of the picture!
Oh, the greens I used for the stems and leaves…Shabby Shutters, Peeled Paint and Forest Moss Distress Ink.
I used a poppystamps sentiment from the Modest Greetings 1 hot foil and cut die set. Spellbinders gold hot foil.
Taylored Expressions Cardstock… I’ll link below.
The ribbon rolls in my photos are HERE…
Linking this card to some challenges…
Triple B January 2024 Challenge – Blooms
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge – Let’s Have Some Fun!
NBUS Challenge #58 – Never Before Used Stuff!
Next card…
A NEW hot foild plate, Rectangle Dot Border. I love how it looks like a faux spotlight!
I used the NEW Happy Birthday Debut Script die cut from the NEW Anemone Grove 6×6 paper pad, tone on tone piece that I used for the background panel. For the Happy Birthday Debut Script backer, I used plaid from the NEW Anemone Plaid 6×6 paper pad.
I die cut a rectangle of vellum to fit inside the hot foil frame using the Rectangle Basics die set.
Everything is layered on an A2 White cardbase.
Three Doodlebug Design enamel dots for a little something!
I mounted the sentiment with the thin mounting tape I love, to the vellum panel first so I’d know where I could put glue on the back of the vellum to adhere it to the purple pattern paper.
Linking my Happy Birthday card to a new challenge! Check it out!
Word Power #1 – a challenge using sentiments as the focus
That’s pretty much it! Holler if you have any questions! Thank you so much for stopping by!
Links to what I used to make these two cards… I added some sentiment stamp sets to the end because I’m always looking for sentiments for the inside so I figure you might be too!

WOWZERS this card with the flower is soooo gorgeous! You have an eye for using the perfect paper and the perfect colours!
Love your color choices, especially that gorgeous flower!
Absolutely Beautiful!!
The first card is gorgeous and beautifully colored, the second is very striking, especially in purple!
My favorite dark green plaid with the flowers. Really stands out! I better start looking for plaid paper in my stash!!! I really need to be making cards-but hard to find the energy most days!!
Those are gorgeous flowers!
Gorgeous colors and designs on both cards — very pretty!
Wowie, you sure made these anemones gorgeous! Beautiful color for them, and I love the plaid. Well, I just love it all, including your photo set up. I’m tired of my props and need new, so lately I mostly use none. Kinda boring. I should have waited for this release… where is my self control? Pretty purple paper on your second card with the vellum. The sentiment font has kind of a retro look to it. You always do amazing things with Memory Box!
Both are beautiful cards, I have had my eye on those new MB dies myself, so love seeing them used! Your happy birthday card fits out NEW Word Power challenge perfectly if you want to enter it there!!
Thank you for joining our challenge at Triple B!

I do love a plaid and am swooning at both designs, Pam, but that first one in those amazing colors really took my breath away! Everything about it from the composition to the littlest bit of shading is perfect! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Happy New Year! Hugs, Darnell
Both cards are gorgeous! I love that background paper! Thanks for sharing!
