Happy Friday everyone! Dana is here today with some more inspiration for you using some of the products from our latest release. I love the bright, summery colors she used on these birthday cards and her addition of the little bees is just the sweetest!
Hello and Happy Friday! It’s Dana here today and I am so excited to be back on The Greetery’s Blog for TGIF! Today I am sharing two birthday cards that use a few of the sets from the latest release.
For my first card I used the Floral Arches stencil and stamp set. I started my card by using the stencils and creating my design directly on my card panel. Next, I used the coordinating stamp set to add the details to the florals and greenery. The detail is amazing on this set, it brings everything together and creates the most beautiful floral frame.
Next, I used the Floral Arches stamps and dies to stamp the red flowers on my panel. I wanted the flowers to have a little dimension, though this step is definitely optional. For my sentiment, I used the Arched Sentiments set. These sets coordinate perfectly together! Lastly, I used the Honey Jar set to add a few bees to my card.
For my next card I used the Sketched Wildflower set. I stamped my floral bouquet in black ink and used the coordinating stencils to add color to the florals and foliage. So quick and easy, and I love how you have a beautiful bouquet without a lot of work.
During the release I used this set to make a wedding card and the colors were softer and muted. I couldn’t wait to use the set again and create a fun summer themed birthday card. I love how by just changing the colors you can get a completely different look with this set.
Next, I used the Square Dance die to create my card panel. I ran the die through my machine two times, and then offset the panels so you see a little bit of the blue from behind. Using the same blue cardstock I created a frame with the A2 Arches dies. I placed the frame directly onto the panel and then added my bouquet and a few bees with foam adhesive to finish my card.
Thanks for joining me today and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!

Beautiful cards, Dana!
A SUPER JOB, Dana! I LOVE those little added bees to your first card & the lattice & touches of blue on your second! 😉
Dana, your cards are fabulous! This was such a lovely release – love the addition of those sweet little bees!
Both of your cards are beautiful. Love the use of the square dance die behind the second card – thank you for the inspiration!
Love the bright colors
Both cards are lovely, Dana. Great inspiration for me!!!1
Lovely, lovely cards Dana!! :0)
Lovely cards! I like your use of the blue ink on the arch sentiment (instead of black) and your pretty colors choices made for a very cheery card. And the pretty blue arch on your second card really makes the floral image pop from the background.
Wow Dana, what a beautiful post! I especially love the square dance die used in 2 colors for a background, super idea! 😎
I can’t wait to get started! These are beautiful! And for the first time ever I bought the FULL release!! A big splurge but I found a way to justify it haha. The Greetery remains my favorite (by a mile!) stamp company EVER!!!
Dana they are both gorgeous. I missed this release as we were doing a construction project, but now that’s is finished, I am going to go back and do some studying. Love the arches stamp/stencil set. What an outstanding card. TFS
So colorful and cheerful and those wee bees!
The cards are beautiful Dana! 💗
