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!
Thanks so much for visiting!

These are so beautiful that you should frame them to enjoy year round.

Melissa your cards are just gorgeous! I'm particularly drawn to the pretty hollyhocks with the gold sketchbook roses behind. And the brown corrugated paper is great with all the new lovelies!
