Good morning! Welcome to Day 1 of The Greetery’s Handiwork Collection release! This collection, quite simply, has my heart. It is enchanting, endearing, cozy, homespun, and so inspiring.
My first card uses the new Hoopla Mini dies and Hoopla Mini Inserts dies. Aren’t they the cutest? I love their varied shapes and the scale they were designed on. They are the perfect size for little, bitty flowers, and sentiments.
I used the new Embroidered Blooms dies over the top of each of my hoops, and a sentiment from the new Sew Vintage stamp set. Behind my hoops I have used the new Embroidered Background stamp and the Hoopla Oval Inserts die.
My next card uses the Embroidered Background stamp once again, but I stamped it on a die cut Stitched Scallops Notecard die…sweet, huh?
You’ll notice I used the Embroidered Blooms and Hoopla Mini dies again. My sentiment is from the new Stitched Sentiments stamp set and Stitched Sentiments dies…I adore these!
One of my favorite, new products this release is the Aida Cloth Texture Plate, which is so realistic and adds the most beautiful texture to cardstock.
Lastly, and perhaps my most favorite card, uses the new Floral Sampler stamp set and dies. Aren’t these blooms delightful!
You can see my use of the Aida Cloth Texture Plate behind my Hoopla Oval die. These dies also come in a circle shape and come complete with all of the tiny, intricate elements you’d find on a wooden embroidery hoop.
My sentiments comes from the Stitched Sentiments stamp set and coordinating Stitched Sentiments dies.
Betsy is giving away two $50 gift cards to The Greetery. All you have to do is leave comments on the blogs below. Enjoy the gorgeous inspiration the designers have ready to share with you!
