The Greetery - Confetti Encore Collection Day 2…

Are you ready for some fun today?  It’s The Greetery’s 5th Anniversary and today we’ve got more, irresistible, new products to celebrate!  I began this card by using the new Flourished Phrases Birthday stencils to create a subtle background.  I then layered on my die cut and stenciled Party Hat….this hat is the cutest!

At the top of my hat, I used the die cut Pom poms from the Party Hat die and added in a delightful surprise, using a Honeycomb Ball and the coordinating Hey Honeycomb stamp and die.

Once you open up the surprise, you’ll find a honeycomb to top your party hat!  So much fun and interactive!  What a creative idea, right?

I added die cut flowers down the front of my party hat using the Hey Honeycomb die.  You can also die cut these from a foam adhesive sheet and use them to help adhere the honeycomb ball open.  Betsy has thought of everything!

My next card uses the Hey Honeycomb Ice Cream Cone and just to show how cute it can be without a honeycomb ball, I didn’t add one to this card.  So the Hey Honeycomb suite can be used with our without the dimensional honeycomb balls. 

My sentiments come from the new What’s the Scoop stamp set.  This set is so creative, playful, and fun.

I used the same Hey Honeycomb Ice Cream Cone on this card, but added a honeycomb ball to the top…isn’t it cute?

I love how plump and realistic these embellishments are…truly delightful!  The What’s the Scoop die and stamp set were used to create the sentiment for this card.  Isn’t “Scoop” adorable, complete with chocolate sauce and sprinkles on top?

What a fun card to send to someone special, young or old, for their birthday…they’ll never forget it!

My last card uses the new Award Winning die.  This die set creates the cutest prize ribbon…I will be using this a bunch!

I hot foiled my background using the new Ticker Tape Hot Foil Plate, foiling in red…fun, isn’t it?  I used the Scripty Hello die and added it across the center of my prize ribbon.

My sentiment, once again, comes from the new What’s the Scoop stamp set.  The tiny, die cut stars are from the Hey Honeycomb die and look so cute die cut from felt, patterned paper, glitter cardstock, etc.

The Greetery - Confetti Encore Collection Day 1…

Welcome to The Greetery’s Confetti Encore Collection, Day 1!  The Greetery is celebrating their 5th Anniversary, so products are all geared around parties, celebrations, and birthdays!

My first card today uses the new and oh, so delightful, Celebration Streamers stamp + stencil to create my background.  I heat embossed my streamers and then added stenciling to the sides of each.  

My focal point/main sentiment  is from the new Four Square Birthday stamp set and die and is so playful and sweet.  

I added die cut and stenciled Celebration Streamers as a final, top layer and added felt cut stars as embellishments.  The secondary sentiment across the bottom is also from the new Four Square Birthday stamp set.

The lovely Flourished Phrases Birthday stencil + die were used on my second card and I love it just as much as the original Flourished Phrases products.  What a treat to have one for birthday, huh?

I added gloss over the top of my stenciled flourishes to bring in some dimension and shine.  I also added die cut letters from different colors of cardstock and patterned paper to create a fun, playful effect.

You can see that I used the Celebration Stamp + Stencil on my card base and added in flowers from a darling, new set of products you’ll be hearing more about tomorrow…must haves!

My last card uses the Four Square Birthday stamp set and dies once again to create a slimline card.  I created a background using this stamp set and topped it with jumbo balloons that you’ll be hearing more about tomorrow as well. 

This sentiment is one of my favorites from the release…it is irresistibly cute and happy!

Lots more to share tomorrow, but for today, don’t forget to leave comments on each of the blogs listed below in order to be eligible to win 1 of 2 $50 gift certificates to The Greetery!

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.

Be sure to visit the blogs listed below and leave comments on each in order to be eligible to win 1 of 2 $50 gift card to The Greetery!

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