Three Easy Cards with the Every Occasion Floral Alphabet Collection

Happy Monday friends!  Today I'm sharing three cards featuring the so beautiful Every Occasion Floral Alphabet Collection by Spellbinders.  These are designed to be used with their BetterPress Letterpress System.

Next up are the details for these three beautiful cards!

For my first card I used the Floral F and Sentiment Press Plate set.  I arranged the press plates, inked them up with BetterPress black ink and passed it through my Platinum die cutting machine to press the image onto a piece of  Porcelain Cotton Card.

For each card I used a variety of coloring mediums that are linked below.  I painted the flowers with a teal metallic watercolor.  Then I die cut the image with a Notched Corner Frame die.  I die cut teal cardstock with another Notched Corner die then embossed it with the Flower Frenzy 3D embossing folder.

For a little extra, I added a bit of splatters with the teal metallic watercolor.

This next card is perfect to have on hand or to make very quickly when needed.  I pressed the Floral W and Sentiment Press Plate with Cosmic Sky ink.  I did some simple coloring of the flowers with yellow and green Prismacolor pencils.

I used the A2 Matting Basics B die to cut out the image.  The blue layer is die cut with an A2 Matting Basics A die.  I adhered the layers together with glue and then to an A2 card base.

I could send this next card to each of you that stop by to take a look at my blog: A zillion thanks! 💖

This final card is the Z Floral and Sentiment Press Plate inked up with Wild Berry BetterPress ink.  As you can see in the photo, the sentiment is pressed with BetterPress Black ink.

After some simple watercoloring of the flowers, I added Ripe Pumpkin Nuvo Crystal drops.  LOL, yes I still have these and store them upside down to prevent any problems of clogging up.

I should have waited to add the Nuvo drops so that I could use those Matting Basic dies to cut the layers.  Since I did not, I just used my trimmer to cut down the black and pink cardstock for layers.  

I still continue to be amazed at being able to create three cards so quickly with the BetterPress Letterpress system.  I love the crisp impressions too.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I hope you have a wonderful week!
