hello, anemone!
This month’s Craft-a-Flower has two blooms and a leaf stem. As usual, it’s pretty easy to put together! I find it very similar in style to the Craft-a-Flower Tulip set.
There’s three ways to get this stamp & die set!
- Buy it as a one-off on any order
- Get it as a bundle with two coordinating Gradient Cardstock packs (5% off)
- Join the Craft-A-Flower Monthly Subscription Plan and get the set at a discount, with a guarantee you’ll get the set when it releases, even if it sells out!
watercolored dies
For my sample, I wanted to show a cool way to use these layering die sets. Instead of using gradient cardstock, I chose to diecut all the pieces in watercolor cardstock and then ink smoosh them using Watercolor Brush Markers.

Purple is one of my favourite colours & the Anemone is one of my favourite flowers that start blooming as autumn wings its way toward us. I have some light pink & dark pink, almost purple anemones blooming on the east side of our house & they are so pretty.
Your card & video are inspiring & I enjoy watching your creative process Nicole.
These cards where you guys watercolor on paper and then cut the flowers out just kill me! They have such color and texture and pop. I love this!!!

I enjoyed your video. I didn’t see it live but it’s great to watch it when I can! I love videos because 1) It’s fun to really “meet” you! I feel like I am in an art class! 2) It’s great to see your techniques especially when it’s different from the skills I have – I’m a beginner. 3) It really does help to see how those layers are put together. So thank you for all the work you did in creating the cards and video.
I love your card! You’ve inspired me to do some ink smooshing on the CAF dies that I have! Great video!
So pretty. I like your ink smooshing with watercolors.
Hi Nicole 🙂 Wowza!!! Great card! I really love the dreamy quality that the watercolor ink smooshing gives this new CAF: Anemone! Vibrant color palette and lovely composition! Thanks for inspiring me 🙂
