Hi everyone! A cheery Spring peony clean and simple card to share with you today! NEW from Spellbinders and designed by Yana Smakula….so pretty! It can be made with so many techniques!
I started by die cutting both dies in the set from white Hammermill cardstock.
Next I placed the floral die face down on the larger plain white die cut, taped the die in place and ran it through my die cutting machine with the tan mat so the design is impressed (you don’t want it to cut) into the die cut.
I inked up this impressed piece with Distress Oxide Kitsch Flamingo ink and a small ink blending brush.
Then on the floral outline white die cut, Inked the peony buds and leaves with Distress oxide inks and small brushes.
It’s a fast way to color die cuts for sure! It’s really pretty in real life too… softer looking than in the photos.
The sentiment is from a wonderful NEW Press Plates set also from Yana. I don’t have the Press Plate system so I used Spellbinders black foil and foiled the Happy Birthday Wishes directly to the card front! It looks so professional!
My card is 4 in. x 7 in. so it will need an A7 envelope but will still mail for one forever postage stamp.

Oh Pam, that is beautiful! I love how you used the plate to impress the image. Your coloring is gorgeous! 55 shower invitations! Oh my you have been busy! I’ve been busy re-doing my photos. Ugh! I was using Lightroom Classic and my computer froze. I had to re-install Windows and unfortunately, it deleted my catalog. My backups were also gone. Ugh. I’ve switched to Lightroom and am using the web version, but now I have to re-organize all of my photos…..all 35,000 of them! I hope to get back to creating shortly!
Oh this is beautiful Pam!! Love how you did the sentiment too, and loving your colors and that pink!! That is a lot of invites = fun times ahead!!!!!

Gorgeous Pam!
Ahhh, this is so pretty, Pam! I love the card size and the simplicity, and I know how nice it is to use this method for coloring dies. The oxides work especially well. I was going to say I can’t imagine doing 55 invitations, but then I remembered I did 75 for a coworker years ago. Never again!
Beautiful card, dear friend!!! 55 though??? Yikes!!! Wedding, baby? What was the shower occasion? And…which kiddo? I’m so nosy!!!
