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!

Your lilac card took my breath away. I felt like I could reach them my computer and touch the blooms. It was stunning!! The colors in your snowdrop card were beautiful, but I am also pretty partial to pink. As someone who loves primitives, the distressing on your basket and the third card warmed my heart. I just love your style. Thank you for sharing.
