Happy Friday! Melissa is here with a fun project to kick off your weekend, but before we get to it, I wanted to share some info on our first release of 2023!
We have some new products coming to the shop on Tuesday, 1/17. We’ll be showcasing everything from our new Have a Heart collection here on the blog on Monday 1/16, with some sneak peeks to precede. I hope you join us for the fun! 🙂
Now let’s check out Melissa’s beautiful project for today’s TGIF…
I love the mixed media/collage look and The Greetery has so many versatile and creative products that work with this style. I pulled out some of my favorite stencils and stamps and got creating! I began with the Color Spots Stencil, overlapping my squares in soft pastels. I then added a few droplets of water to activate the ink and cause some beautiful pooling of color.
Next came the Pretty Postmarks set, specifically the scripted font that was stamped across the entire front of my card in a lighter shade of ink. I added a postmark from this same stamp set in the upper right of my card, and a diecut from the Postal Frames set. A couple of Hearts from the Signed & Sealed with a Kiss stamp set were placed in the center of my card followed by one tiny flower from the Floral Arches set.
I added a simple sentiment to the bottom of my card using the Mini Boxwood Heart stamp set to finish.
Thank you so much for joining us today!

What a beautiful card!! I love the way the “spots” stencil turned out and the use of vellum. And the collage–SO much to look at! Very, very pretty! I LOVE all my postal themed products from The Greetery, thank you for a very inspiring creation.
