The Greetery Love Letters P.S. Collection - Day 2…

Are you ready for Day 2 of The Greetery’s Love Letters P.S. Collection?  It’s full of the prettiest, postal images, scripts, fonts, feathers, flowers, and more!

I’ve used the gorgeous, new Airmail Border Stencils on two of my cards today.  They are that much fun to use!  You’ll want to have them in your crafty stash!  I also used the lovely Inked Well stamp set and dies.  The feathered pens included in this set are stunning!

I stamped and heat embossed two of my feathers on a block of white cardstock, embossing with white powder.  I then sponged ink over my images using the emboss-resist technique. I spritzed on water and Lindy’s Gang Spray and let my cardstock dry before stamping my sentiment.  I added a heat embossed vellum feather and flowers from the new Graceful Stems die collection.

Next up is the oh, so irresistible new Vintage Type Stamp + Cut Combo and Just My Type Sentiments stamps.  

I have never owned a pink typewriter…yet, just a lovely aqua one, so I had to try my hand at pink and love how it turned out.  The sweet embossed flourishes really take this stamp/die combo up a notch!  I used a postage stamp from the Postal Modern stamp set in the upper right corner.

Once again, I used the beautiful Graceful Stems dies to add some sweet flowers to my card front.  I adore this die set!

Lastly, I’ve used the classic and timeless, new Scripted Sentiments stamp set to create my card background.  Isn’t this font lovely?

I then added a die cut heart from the new Four Square Valentine Tags Elements die set.  My secondary sentiment is from the new Sign Off Sentiments stamps and coordinating die sets.

The Graceful Stems dies truly are a must-have…I can’t create without them!

The Greetery Love Letters P.S. Collection - Day 1…

Welcome to Day 1 of The Greetery’s Love Letters P.S. Collection.  My first card uses the new Sent With Love Dies and Sent With Love Sentiments stamp set as my focal point.

 You’ll find all you need in this die set to wrap up little bitty envelopes and pockets, including string, bows, scissors, stamps, notepaper, etc.

I’ve also used the new Airmail Border Stencils and Postal Modern stamps on dies.  You’ll love the sweet postage stamps, flourishes, images, corners, sentiments and more included in this lovely collection of stamps.

I’ve used the Airmail Border Stencils once again on this card as well as the new Postcard Details die, which creates lovely embossing of the intricate postcard details.

The new Four Square Valentine Tags stamp set and Four Square Valentine Tags Elements dies were used for the darling sentiments and shapes.

Once again, the Postal Modern stamps and dies were used to embellish and create added personality.  My tiny flowers and leaves came from the Curio:  Confections die collection.

My last card uses the gorgeous, new Flourished Phrases:  Love Stencil and coordinating die.  I adore the oversized script with intricate flourishes surrounding it.

I used gold paste to stencil the flourishes to give dimension and texture to the stencil.  The Flourished Phrases:  Love Additions stamp set was used to complete my sentiment.  You can see that I used the Airmail Border Stencils around the top and bottom edges of my card.

Flowers and dies used on this card are from the Takes the Cake collection…sweet, aren’t they?  Wait til you see flowers on tomorrow’s creations!  LOVE!

The Greetery is giving away two $50 gift cards today and two tomorrow.  All you need to do to in order to be eligible, is leave a comment here and on the blogs listed below.  Enjoy your day!

The Greetery…Have a Heart Collection:

The Greetery has a beautiful, new collection called Have a Heart that will be available tomorrow!  The designers are celebrating the new collection by sharing projects using all of the new goodies.  My first tag and card use the darling, new Hearts at Home:  Clock die and coordinating sentiments stamps.

I adore the sweet, punny sentiments associated with all of the new Hearts at Home dies.  You’ll find a toaster, mugs, lightbulb, sweater, and clock with coordinating sentiments.

I created a card using the same clock image, just in different patterned paper prints.  I added in some flowers from the Signed & Sealed With a Kiss stamp and dies set and my postage image from the Pretty Postmarks stamps and dies.

I added chrome accents to my clock using metallic cardstock from Your Paper Insider.  Isn’t this tiny alarm clock the sweetest?  I love the heart shaped of it and tiny numbers and hands.  “Time to be mine” is one of my favorite sentiments from the new Hearts at Home Sentiments stamp set.

I created a gift wrap for my next project, using the new Round About Hearts die as my tag base.  I sponged color over the outer hearts, added water, and then a bit of Distress ink to create a soft, watercolor look.

I added a sentiment to the center of my tag using the new Hot Stuff Sentiments stamps and dies.  My secondary sentiment on the Tear Strip Tag uses the new Tear Strip Tags Valentine stamp set.  These are so fun!  Assorted flowers were used at the base of my tag using BotaniCuts Hollyhocks dies and the Print Shop:  Garden Goodness stamp, stencil, and dies.

The new Ribbon Maker:  Scalloped Hearts die and Paper Ribbon:  Lilac were used as a wrap around my Lindt chocolate truffles.  LOVE the Ribbon Maker dies so much!

Lastly, I created a card using a beautiful variety of new and old products.  I began with the new Falling Hearts Background die, layered over my pink card base.

I then used pink foil and the new Heart Arrow Hot Foil Plate and Heart Arrow Die to create my focal point.  I added in sentiments from the new Hot Stuff Sentiments stamps and dies and Hearts and Home Sentiments.

I used a BotaniCuts Rose die and once again, the Pretty Postmarks stamps and Postal Frames dies.  Such a fun card to create!
