The Greetery Sweet & Sunny Collection - Day 2…

Welcome to Day 2 of The Greetery’s Sweet & Sunny Collection Reveal.  Oh, what beautiful treats you are in for today!  They are all things lovely, sweet, and summery!  Let’s get started, shall we?

I’ve used the gorgeous, new Leaves All Around dies and stencils on my first card, stenciling in warm, earthy tones to tie in with my shabby, corrugated paper background.  This stencil and die are so easy to use and create the most beautiful frame in an instant.

The gorgeous, new Jumbo Curiosity:  Butterfly Die was used in the center of my frame and how I love this beautiful thing!  It’s truly effortless to create shape, form, and color…you’ll love it along with the new Jumbo Curiosity:  Moth and Dragonfly dies and stencils.  I’ll be using those later and will have projects ready to share soon.

On my next card, I’ve used the new Leaves All Around Stencil and Dies once again, this time stenciling in leafy, brilliant greens.  It’s amazing how different it looks based on the colors used, don’t you think? 

Leaves All Around creates the most beautiful frames for your card.  I love it!  I used the Daisy Days stamp set and dies to bring in some florals, adding them above my focal point.  Imagine all of the other Greetery florals you can combine with this lovely frame.   

I used the Mini Boxwood Heart stamps and dies for my focal point, adding in a sentiment also from this set, that is simple and doesn’t detract from the gorgeous greenery surrounding it.  SO much fun!

On my last card, I have used the sweet, new BotaniCuts Hollyhocks die.  I can’t express how beautiful these tiny, little flowers turn out once they’re colored and assembled.  I am smitten with them.

I combined my hollyhocks with lavender from the BotaniCuts Lavender die collection.  I added yellow to them instead of lilac, but love how they turned out.  I so enjoy trying unexpected colors on things…there is no wrong or right way when it comes to being creative. 

For my sentiment and behind my hollyhocks, I used the Sketchbook Roses stamp set and heat embossed the flowers in gold embossing powder.  I love the soft, subtle background it adds to the bold, bright flowers in the forefront.  

I can’t wait to follow the links below to see what the other designers have created…I know we’ll all be in for such a treat!

The Greetery Sweet & Sunny Collection - Day 1…

Good morning!  It’s Day 1 of The Greetery’s Sweet & Sunny Release and it’s as cute as can be!  My first card uses the new Honey Bee die…oh, how I love this sweet little bug :).

In the upper and lower corner of my Honey Bee die, I have used the Honeycomb Corners Die and stamps, dies, and sentiments from the Buzz-worthy set.  Isn’t this sentiment the cutest?  I love the honeycomb stamps too.

Surrounding my Honey Bee, I have used greenery from the Boxwood Heart Details die.  I just used a portion of these greens to highlight the oval shape beneath my bee.  The florals used are from the Pine Blossom stamp and die sets.  

This next card uses the new Buzz-Worthy Sentiment stamp set and dies once again, combined with the new Honey Jar stamp set and dies.  Get ready to fall in love!

The tiny honey jar comes in three different varieties, each showing a different level of honey contained in the jar.  Also, you’ll find a darling fabric topper die, complete with ruffles and twine that wraps around the topper, and ties with a bow.  

You’ll notice I used my cute honeycomb stamps once again and I selected a different sentiment from the Buzz-worthy set.  I could stamp with these all day long!  Aren’t those tiny bees sweet?  I added in some red geraniums from the Botani-Cuts Geranium die collection.  

Lastly, I’ve used the new Honeysuckle Stems stamp set and dies, adding them to my Honey Jar.  Who says you can’t use a honey jar as a vase, right?  Especially when the flowers are sweet honeysuckles like these.

You’ll love these happy honeysuckles.  They look so realistic, I can almost smell their sweet fragrance.  I stamped each stem in different colors in order to create a colorful bouquet.  The golden yellow tied in perfectly with the yellow from my honey jar.

Behind my floral bouquet, I used the Postal Frames die and the Seed Catalog Background stamp.  

You’ll adore all of these brand new sets and enjoy creating with them just as much as I have!  More to come tomorrow.  In the meantime,  sit back and enjoy what the other designers have created:
