Welcome to Day 1 of The Greetery’s Recollective Holiday Collection. This release is so special and reminds me of Christmases gone by.
My first card and tag use the new Wrapped in Love stamp set and coordinating dies. This concept is so much fun and is full of the tiniest details, from the little scissors to the spool of twine used to wrap up bright, paper packages! The beautiful berries and greens are from the new BotaniCuts Juniper die set. I can’t stop using these dies!
You’ll find a wide variety of patterns for your role of wrapping paper and the sweetest of sentiments all centered around “wrapping paper”. To create the background on my card I used the new Fair Isle Stencil, which is completely fabulous!
My coordinating tag uses the dies from this set…the tiny packages all wrapped up in ribbon. They are so realistic looking and look adorable cut from patterned paper. My sentiment comes from the new Wrapped in Love Sentiment Additions stamp set.
I love the berries and sentiments on this next card. I’ve use the gorgeous BotaniCuts Rowan Branch die as well as Comfort & Joy stamps et and dies.
I can see this set being using for so many occasions, not just for Christmas, but times when comfort is indeed what’s needed.
Aren’t those berries delightful? I love the option of using the second layer as snow so it looks like the berries are covered in it!
My last card uses the beautiful, new Winterland Layers stamp set and dies, which is the most amazing set! You can created a variety of different bunches of greens and berries using just one stamp set. It’s genius!
I’ve also used the new Big Beautiful Bow die and as you can see, this is a must have! It created the fluffiest, fullest, most beautiful bow that works not only for cards but also for packages too!
Love it all!
