Hi there, this is
Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of easy cards made with the new
Copperplate Everyday Sentiments Collection by Paul Antonio. The beautiful, oversized sentiment plates in this collection create amazing focal points for simple and elegant cards.
Black & White Thank You Card
Paul Antonio’s gorgeous calligraphy deserves the spotlight on any card and the
Copperplate Thank You Sentiment Plate is one of my favorites. Here I used the classic black, white, and gold color combination for an elegant thank you card.

Ink up the
Copperplate Thank You Sentiment Plate with
BetterPress Black Ink and press the image onto
Porcelain BetterPress Cotton Cardstock. Once pressed, die cut the sentiment out with one of the
Mirrored Arch Dies. Die cut
Mirror Gold and white cardstock using some of the flower dies from the
Garden Wreath Add-Ons Die Set and assemble with liquid glue.

Apply
Gold Hot Foil to
Onyx Cardstock using the Geometric Flower Background Glimmer Plate and the
Glimmer Hot Foil System. Adhere the background panel to a top-folding A2-sized white card base and pop the sentiment panel and flowers up on top with foam adhesive.
Pretty Thinking Of You Card
When I send “thinking of you” cards, I like to keep them soft and pretty to mimic the heartfelt feelings they’re inspired by. Muted tones and butterflies were the perfect touch for this sweet thinking of you card.

Apply
Aura Hot Foil onto white cardstock using the
Copperplate Thinking Of You Sentiment Plate and the
Glimmer Hot Foil System. Die cut the sentiment out using one of the
Essential Four Petal Labels Dies. Die cut
Velvet Rose,
Peach Sorbet,
Forest, and
Mirror Gold Cardstock using the flowers from the
Vintage Florals Die Set and the tiny butterflies from the
Botanical Solarium Die Set.

Emboss a piece of
Sage Cardstock using the
Beautiful Butterflies 3D Embossing Folder and rub a white ink pad over the raised areas to bring them out a bit more. Trim the panel down to 4” x 5.25” and adhere to a top-folding A2-sized white card base with foam adhesive. Adhere the sentiment panel in the center of the card front using foam tape and arrange the layered flowers beneath it. Add a pink and peach butterfly around the sentiment to embellish.
Bright & Cheery Missing You Card
Lastly, I thought bold colors would complement the message I was declaring with the
Copperplate Miss You Sentiment Plate, so I created a bright ombre sentiment and accented it with matching florals.

Apply
Tiger,
Taffy, and
Wild Berry BetterPress Ink down the
Copperplate Miss You Sentiment Plate and press it onto
Porcelain Cotton Cardstock. Once pressed, die cut the sentiment out with one of the
Notched Corner Frames Dies. Die cut
Pink Sand,
Persimmon,
Beeswax, and
Rainforest Cardstock using flower and leaf dies from the
Be Bold Blooms Die Set and assemble with liquid glue.

Apply
Cosmic Sky BetterPress Ink to the
Cosmos Backdrop Press Plate and press it onto
Teal Topaz Cardstock. Trim the panel down to 4” x 5.25” and add it to a top-folding A2-sized white card base using foam adhesive. Pop the sentiment panel and floral bunches up in the center of the card front with more foam adhesive.
