Anemone Blooms, a Trio of Cards
Hello crafty friends! It’s Jung here, and today, I’m sharing 3 cards that I made using the new Anemone Blooms collection by Yana Smakula. Yellow Foiled Anemones For my first card, I used the Anemone Glimmer Blooms as the focal point. First, I foiled the Anemone Glimmer Blooms hot foil plate on smooth white cardstock with polished brass foil. While my Glimmer machine was hot, I foiled all the sentiments from the Hello, Friend Sentiments as well as the Inside Card Glimmer Sentiments on smooth white cardstock with satin gold foil. Next, I used the coordinating die to die-cut the Anemone Blooms image, and then colored the image with Copic…

Color with Cardstock – Anemone Blooms Cardmaking Ideas with Joan Bardee
I am delighted to share 3 ways (plus 2 bonus cards) to use the Anemone Blooms Collection, designed by the amazing Yana Smakula. Is it intimidating to use Yana’s products on a Spellbinders blog post? You bet it is, but here it goes anyway! I love big bold anything, so these flowers stole my heart. I wasn’t familiar with anemones and a quick online search revealed that they come in a huge variety of colors. So, use whatever colors you love; for me – pink is my first love. Hot Foiled Anemone Blooms If you are looking for maximum impact with minimal effort, just hot foil the Anemone Glimmer Blooms…

Introducing Anemone Blooms Collection by Yana Smakula
I’m very excited to introduce you to my new collection with Spellbinders called Anemone Blooms. Similar to the collection I did last year, Yana’s Blooms, I designed Anemone Blooms with elegant floral card-making in mind. The theme for this collection is Birthday and Friendships and all of the sentiments in this line center around that. This is a smaller collection featuring just 5 products, some of which are dies and some glimmer plates. All of these work with my previously released products, especially Yana’s Blooms collection.
