Handcrafted Spring Cards: Creating with BetterPress and Vivid Blooms

#handmadecards #springcrafts #luvinstampin
Spring brings fresh inspiration for cardmaking, and today, I'm excited to share three handcrafted spring cards created using the innovative Spellbinders BetterPress Letterpress System and the stunning Vivid Blooms collection.
There's something almost magical about crafting spring cards - it's like hosting a tiny garden party right on your craft desk. While winter is still trying to make up its mind about leaving, we crafters are already coaxing paper flowers to bloom and setting paper butterflies free to flutter across our cards. And let's be honest, unlike real gardening, there's no dirt under our fingernails (though we might end up with a bit of ink here and there), and these blooms never need watering!
The combination of letterpress techniques with spring motifs creates cards that aren't just messages - they're little celebrations of the season. Each impression in the paper feels like planting a seed of joy, and when you add those bright spring colors, it's like watching your garden come to life, minus the pesky weeds and overeager squirrels trying to "rearrange" your design.
Want to create stunning spring cards? I'll show you how to craft three beautiful designs using the Spellbinders BetterPress Letterpress System and Vivid Blooms collection. You'll learn essential techniques like partial die cutting, coloring on dry embossing, and achieving perfect letterpress impressions.

Wendy, your watercoloring is beautiful. Please don't disparage your work. You are doing really creative and unique cards which I really love. Here's a tip for using Zig markers: always use Bristol Smooth Cardstock (or watercolor paper). The markers glide over the Bristol so well and I use the blender pen to blend. Just give it a try and I think you'll be pleased. Thanks for all your hard work and no more apologies!!

Beautiful card. I have two mugs on my craft desk. One my grandson made and the other one is wrapped in an apron with many pockets to hold more tools with the scissors and such that are in the mug. My friend is a quilter and she made it for me. Would love to have a story time video soon. How is sister? I have been sick with headaches so I missed sending her a birthday card.

I have an adorable container with a sunflower on top that my "secret sister" at church bought me. I still have no idea who my secret sister is, but I've used the container for about 15 years for candy.
