The Greetery - Spring Fling Collection Day 2…

Hello, friends!  Welcome to Day 2 of the Spring Fling Collection from The Greetery.  There is so much for love about his delightful release…Mother’s Day, Easter, florals, greenery, etc.  Let’s get started!

My first card uses the beautiful, new To Mom With Love stamp set and dies.  From the minute I saw the sweet “With Love” stamp, I knew I wanted to use it on my card, and the bottom “Happy Mother’s Day” stamp just finishes off my sentiment perfectly.  

I love mixing old products with new and so I pulled out my Jumbo Curiosity Nest Die and made it my focal point.  I added a butterfly from the Curio:  Summer Findings die set.  Behind my nest, I used the beautiful, Elegant Arches Stamp and sponged ink in the arched window to add shading and softness.  

I’ve used the new Easter Morning Sentiments on my second card.  I just love the size and fonts used in the large “Happy Easter” Sentiment.  It’s gorgeous and makes a perfect focal point.

I added a secondary sentiment using another stamp and die from Easter Morning.  I framed everything in using the beautiful , new Spring Frame stamp and die.

The BotaniCuts Lavender die was used to create a bundle of lavender down the left side of my card.  

Lastly, I have used the new Print Shop:  Modern Botanical stamp + stencil and die.  What a gorgeous group of products these are!

I used the new Simply Bold:  For You die to create my sentiment, followed by a secondary sentiment from the To Mom With Love stamp set.

The flowers in Modern Botanicals have my heart!  They are stunning and bold, and full of so many beautiful details.

The Greetery - Spring Fling Collection Day 1…

Welcome to Day 1 of The Greetery’s Spring Fling Collection debut.  This release is full of all things Springtime, floral, and fresh…just what we need after a long winter, right?

My first card uses the gorgeous BotaniCuts Lilacs dies.  They are irresistibly sweet and so easy to assemble.  I can almost smell these lovely florals!  They come in a set of two with a variety of leaves and stems to add as you assemble your lilacs.  I love that they’re just the right size to grace the entire front of my card.

The lovely, All Occasion Script Sentiments stamp set and dies were used for my sentiment.  I love the simplicity of this beautiful font.  This set comes with a huge variety of sentiments…you’ll be sure to find just the right thing to say with this sentiment set.

My second card uses the gorgeous, new Spring Snowdrops stamp + stencil, and die.  I didn’t know too much about Snowdrops living here in the desert, but have decided that they are just as sweet and charming as can be!

I love the combination sentiments with their playful fonts used in the Snowdrops set…really cute and perfectly playful.  

Behind my Snowdrops, I have used the new Spring Frame Rubber stamp.  I love the beautiful way it frames in my focal point.  I’ll be using this delightful backdrop on so many of my future projects, for sure!

Lastly, I have used the amazing and unique Seagrass Basket die.  Betsy’s concept for this basket is truly inspiring…I love it’s woven effect and how easily it comes together, although it may look complex.

I die cut my basket pieces from Kraft cardstock, added a woodgrain stamp across the front, and distressed the handle in a dark bronze ink.  I attached my handle using tiny copper brads.  I love the label that is an option to add to the front…too cute and of course, so perfectly thought out.  I added a sentiment from the All Occasion Script Sentiments stamp set and die once again.

Behind my basket, I have used the Spring Frame die and then filled my basket with Graceful Stems, two of which I colored, and two of which I left white in order to add filler and dimension.  Such a fun card to create!
