TGIF – Daisy Days Birthday Card Set with Dawn

by Betsy July 1, 2022

written by Betsy

Happy TGIF! And it’s an especially good one since it’s a holiday weekend! I hope all of you here in the US have a safe and happy holiday! In case you’re planning to squeeze in some crafty time over the weekend, Dawn is here with some inspiration and a gorgeous card set!

Hi Friends! It’s my turn to share for TGIF at The Greetery, and today I’ve got a fun birthday card set to share with you, featuring the Print Shop: Daisy Days collection of printed paper templates, stencils, stamps, and dies!

My goal with this collection is to remind you that once you’ve stenciled and stamped your patterns on the pre-printed papers, you don’t have to keep them in tact and use the entire thing on your card front! It can maybe be hard to cut those, after going to the effort to add all the color and detail, but they can be used in SO many different ways BESIDES just as an over-all background on your card! I’ve got four different cards here, that all started out with the same exact piece of black daisy paper. I added all the stenciling and stamping assembly-line-style and then had fun using those panels in four different ways! I die cut some of them and simply trimmed up or cut apart some of them, giving me a totally different design for each card, and yet, they all coordinate with each other perfectly!

I also had some fun using an ombré effect on each of the sentiments! I used the All Kinds of Happy die and Shadow die, Scripty Hello, Sentiments Squared, and Simply Wonderful sets for the sentiments.

These types of card sets are fun to make because color coordinated sets are so pretty, plus they make really great gifts, and even if you’re keeping them to use yourself, they’re quicker to make because you can assembly-line the production a bit. No need to reinvent the wheel with your color palette, if you’ve got one you love!

I hope you’ll give a set like this a try! It’s also super fun to actually USE those printed papers!!”

Sweet & Sunny Collection Day 2

by Betsy June 28, 2022

written by Betsy

It’s Day 2 of product reveals for our Sweet & Sunny collection! So much summery color in today’s post, I just love it! And just wait until you see what the Inspiration Team has created. They knocked my socks off (good thing it’s summer!) 🙂

(**Please Note: although you can preview the new products in the shop, they will not be available to purchase until 10am EDT on Wednesday, June 29).

Jumbo Curiosity Butterfly, Moth, and Dragonfly die + stencil combos

As usual, we’ll have the complete bundle available on release day, for quick and easy shopping.

*please note the collection bundle does not include the Buzzy Bits sprinkle mix

Let’s get to the projects! First up I have a trio of cards using the new Jumbo Curiosity die and stencil combos paired with that pretty Leaves All Around frame. I had so much fun inking up these pretty insects and frames! If you saw the sneak peek image, you’ll see I created a whole rainbow of them. Now it’s time to put them to use on some cards.

The stencils make it easy to add lots of color and shading. When I was finished stenciling I also used black and white pens to add lots of dots and details to make them even more interesting. Really easy to do – for the most part I just followed the details built into the dies with the detail cuts and pierce-points.

I used various shades of greens, and even a little blue, to stencil the Leaves All Around design onto the coordinating die. I embellished the frames with some BotaniCuts Hollyhocks blooms. I love this set for the versatility…you can omit the stem and use just the blooms for a completely different look. I used one bloom at the top and a cluster of two at the bottom, done in the same colors as the insect inside each frame. I was loving the simplicity of these, and opted not to add sentiments. That way I can use them for any occasion. They would make a gorgeous gift as well if you created a boxed set using our Stationery Box die!

I just love the dragonfly in jumbo form! I used my favorite Blueprint Sketch ink to stencil some color onto the wings. He’s hovering in a garden of Honeysuckle Stems, which are from the set we introduced yesterday. I finished it off with a happy birthday sentiment, which is from our Print Shop: Spring Mix set.

For my next card, I was completely inspired by this gorgeous Pottery Barn bedding. I recreated a similar look using lots of different elements, including our new Jumbo Curiosity Butterfly and BotaniCuts Hollyhocks. Here’s a test as to how big of a Greetery fan you are…can you identify all of the other elements? I’ll name them below this photo!

There are Ginkgo leaves, a Crocus petal, a stem of Bluebells, some Strawberry flowers and berries, and some tiny Wildflower Mix blooms. Did you get them all? The sentiment is from our Signed & Sealed set. All of those bright-colored elements on the black background just pop!

Up next might be my favorite card of the release! I stacked up a whole garden of BotaniCuts Hollyhocks onto a Crimped Slimline diecut. Before adhering them to my panel, I sponged a bit of Tumbled Glass ink for some blue sky.

I also added a couple of butterflies…I used the new Jumbo Curiosity Butterfly as well as the original smaller version from our Curio: Summer Findings set. Using them together works wonderfully so you have a variety of sizes. The sentiment here is again from our Print Shop: Spring Mix set.

Up next I have a pair of cards that uses the new Leaves All Around frame in a little different way…I love how you can easily change it up! For this pair of cards I snipped the frame in half and used half on each of these two cards.

I adhered each of the half-frames to a piece of cardstock that was trimmed by hand before adhering to give the cardstock panel that pretty leafy edge. I used a pencil to lightly trace the outline of the leaves, then trimmed it with a scissors before adhering the leafy half-frame (it doesn’t need to be exact at all, as the leaves cover up the edge). This let me create that pretty edge with a contrasting cardstock panel layered underneath. I used the Jumbo Curiosity Moth and Butterfly, and the sentiment is from the Sentiment Suite: Thank You set.

Lastly, I have a fun window card using the BotaniCuts Hollyhocks set. I used my Deco Frames dies to cut a frame, and also a window from my card base. I sandwiched a panel of acetate between the frame and the card base, giving me a clear surface to which I adhered my hollyhock stems.

I sponged some blue ink on the inside of the card, and also stamped a happy birthday sentiment from the Print Shop: Spring Mix set. I also added the smallest bee from the new Honey Bees set to the front of my card. I was in need of some birthday cards, and my stash is feeling a little better after today’s projects!

I hope you enjoyed taking a look at today’s projects as much as I enjoyed creating them!

Now that you’ve gotten to meet all of today’s new products and see them in action, you can “greet” them for a chance to win a prize! We’ll be giving away TWO $50 gift cards for today’s blog hop.

Now that you’ve gotten a preview of today’s new product introductions, let’s get to some projects so you can see them in action.

My first pair of projects using the new Honey Bees and Honey Jars. I wanted to created something a little more elegant, so I started with a dark navy cardstock, and added all of the elements in warm honey, golds, and soft pink tones.

My first card is on a slimline base and uses our Crimped Slimline die for the background and uses the Honeycomb Corners die to cut some subtle details in the upper corners. I backed it with the same color cardstock – this allows for some texture, but doesn’t distract from my focal point. I built my focal point using the new Honey Jar set and the two smaller bees from the new Honey Bees die set. I added lots of wildflower looking elements around my jar, with a mix of dies…BotaniCuts Bluebells, Inside & Out Berry Branch die, and tiny flowers from BotaniCuts Wildflower Mix.

The honey dipper is also from the new Honey Jar set. I stamped it and added some Nuvo Crystal Drops in Orange Marmalade…it makes the perfect honey! (We tried to stock this for you in the shop, but unfortunately we were not able to get our hands on any.) I also scattered in a few tiny honeycombs from the new Buzzy Bits mix. The sentiment is from the new Buzz-Worthy Sentiments set, and I heat embossed them with gold.

The companion card is a standard A2 card and uses the largest bee from the new Honey Bees die set for a focal point. I put that pretty bee inside a pair of diecut Halfsies Ovals. Inside the oval I hot foiled a branch from the Fall Foliage set using gold foil, and layered the largest Honey Bee over the top.

The wildflowers around the bee were done using the same dies mentioned above, and again the sentiments here are from the new Buzz-Worthy Sentiments set, heat embossed with gold.

My next card again uses the new Honey Bees die. This time I used the two larger bees on an A2 card. For the background, I started with some rustic white cardstock and stamped the sketchy floral image from the Sketchbook Roses set in a gold-tone ink. I diecut the Honeycomb Corners die from a scrap of cardstock and used to to create some hexagon outlines using a black pen. I then diecut a few of these with the single hexagon die included in the set, and also added some shimmery gold watercolor to a few of them, just for a fun and interesting mix.

Layered under the bees are some greenery sprigs that were cut using our Curio: Summer die set. The sentiment is from the new Buzz-Worthy Sentiments set. I adhered my finished Crimped Frame onto a kraft cardstock base and added some gold splatters to finish it off.

Next I used the Honey Bees to make a sweet baby card. I watercolored a panel of watercolor paper and diecut the Honeycomb Corners from all four corners of my panel once it was dry. I also diecut the large bee from watercolor paper and watercolored it as well. I added two layers of wings – one cut from watercolor paper and one cut from vellum for a soft effect.

I wanted to create a floral design around my bee, so I pulled out the tiny flower sprigs from our AlphaBuds Bold Floral Details set. I also used some of the tiny flower diecut from our BotaniCuts Strawberries set. Once again, the sentiment I used is from the Buzz-Worthy set.

My next couple of cards use the new Honey Jar. I love all of the different occasion possibilities with this set. For a get well card, I paired it with our BotaniCuts Lavender and our Lemon Blossom set. It’s the perfect combo for sending some well-wishes!

For this card, I started with a watercolor panel cut with our Crimped Frame die and added a bit of loose blue watercolor to make a backdrop for my cluster of elements. I created a surface for my honey jar by adding a “wood” strip cut using our Curio: Cover die. I also added a Cozy Cup Coaster die. The honey dipper on this card was done with the Honey Jar dies – you can choose to stamp the honey dipper, or assemble it with the diecuts, which is what I did here. I again added some Nuvo Drops for the honey. This time I used the optional fabric topper on my jar, along with the twine bow, all from the Honey Jar set.

I thought the honey jar would also make a cute container for some pretty blooms! To create a bouquet in the jar, I started with some greenery sprigs cut using our Boxwood Heart Details die. The sprigs are a great size and have lots of branches in different directions, perfect for building the base of my bouquet. The larger bright-colored flowers were done with a new BotaniCuts set you’ll be seeing more of tomorrow! The small white flowers were cut with the BotaniCuts Strawberries die.

I added my bouquet to a black cardbase which was stamped with one of the script sentiments from our Pretty Postmarks set, just to add a little more interest to the background. The sentiment is done with the new Buzz-Worthy Sentiments set. I added some small stamped bees, which are from the Honey Jar set.

My next three cards use our new Honeysuckle Stems set. I love these big and bold flowers…so fun to stamp in the summeriest colors! For this first one, I had some stamped bees leftover and thought they were perfect with the honeysuckle as well. I stuck to a monochromatic color scheme of yellows and greens for a fresh, summery look.

I started this card with a white card base and positioned a whole bunch of honeysuckle stems around the outer edge of the card front so that they pretty much filled my card. I filled in between the flowers with tiny white diecut flower clusters cut with our BotaniCuts Wildflower Mix die, and lots of cute little stamped bees from the Honey Jar set. The sentiment I used here is a combination of the large script “happy” from our All Kinds of Happy stamp set, and the “bee” from the new Buzz-Worthy set. Such a cheery card with all the yellow and those cute bees!

Next I took a whole bouquet of the Honeysuckle Stems and gathered them up with our It’s a Wrap Posy Pocket die. This bouquet just screams summer to me! I stamped the honeysuckle in all kinds of colors…reds, pinks, orange, and fuchsia. This is a great set to experiment with blending different ink colors onto your images while stamping. I like to use sponge daubers to ink up the stamps (I have a video showing this technique here).

For the background, I started with a panel of white cardstock and stamped it using our Seed Catalog Background and white ink. It’s the perfect backdrop for this bright bouquet — just enough to make it interesting, but not compete with the pretty blooms. The sentiment is from our Sentiment Suite: Thinking of You set stamped onto a tiny tag from our Sentiment Suite Basics die. I also added a few tiny bees from our new Buzzy Bits mix.

I spent some time just stamping away these pretty Honeysuckle Stems, so I had a whole pile of them to work with! I used more of them on this card. I created a big, beautiful honeysuckle bouquet onto a panel that was cut with our new Honeycomb Corners die. I stuck to white on white for the background so these pretty blooms could really shine.

Over top of my bouquet I layered a sentiment from the Buzz-Worthy set, and also diecut bees from the new Honey Bees die set. The sentiment makes for a perfect thank you card.

I hope you enjoyed my projects today…I loved creating with these new goodies! There’s just something about summery stamps and all the bright colors that makes me want to just keep creating!

All Sneak Peeks TGIF

TGIF – Sweet & Sunny Peek #2 + Simple Slimline Thanks with Angelica

by Betsy June 24, 2022

written by Betsy

Happy Friday! We have an extra fun Friday post this week with a sneak peek AND a pair of gorgeous cards by Angelica!

First off, one last sneak peek of our new Sweet & Sunny collection before we start the full reveals and project showcases on Monday.

Today’s peek has me all a-flutter! We have some new product combos (dies + ??? 🤔 ) featuring jumbo-sized versions of some of our popular dies. There’s also a new BotaniCuts…can you guess it? I loved creating this rainbow of goodies for your sneak peek enjoyment! The new products we’ll be showcasing will go up in the shop on Wednesday, 6/29 at 10am ET.

It appears Angelica and I were on the same rainbow wavelength! She has a pair of gorgeous cards to share with you for today’s TGIF. Here she is to tell you all about them…

I have been doing a lot of die-cutting lately… which means I have a LOT of paper scraps. I decided a few days ago that I wanted to make a couple slimline cards, utilizing those paper scraps. (I absolutely love making die-cut backgrounds!) I picked a rainbow of colors to work with, and pulled out Inside And Out Berry Branch die to die-cut the paper with.

This die gives you a variety of branches to work with. I picked the two larger branches to make a simple background with. I started with pink at the top, and worked my way down to navy blue.

I attached the branches to white card stock with glue, making sure to be really delicate when adding the glue to the delicate die cuts. Once finished, I trimmed the panels down, and attached them to Sea Salt card bases.

For the sentiments, I picked two from Sentiment Suite: Thank You stamp set. I white heat-embossed the sentiments onto black card stock, and die-cut them with the coordinating die. I used glue to attach them to the cards.

I adore how clean and simple these cards turned out. And I love how versatile this die is. That’s all that I have for today. Thanks so much for stopping by!

TGIF – Print Shop in Dark Mode + Save the Date!

by Betsy June 17, 2022

written by Betsy

Hiya! I hope you had a fabulous week! It’s been a hot one, summer is definitely here! Since I’m not a lover of the heat, that means time to turn on the AC and curl up in the craft room.

I have lots to share with you today including a couple of cards and a super early sneak peek of some new goodies coming to the shop! (shhhhh!)

Speaking of new goodies, mark your calendars! We have a new collection coming to the shop on Wednesday, June 29 called Sweet & Sunny and those two words pretty much sum it up. I’m excited!

We’ll share some official sneak peeks beginning a week from today, but I’m breaking the rules and sharing a super sneaky peek today! I really didn’t intend to when I started working on my projects for today’s TGIF, but they were just lying there on my desk and turned out to be the perfect thing for my projects. I couldn’t resist. I figure when you’re the boss you can get away with it, right? And I didn’t think you’d mind. 😉

For today’s projects, I started out with an idea to create some “dark mode” Print Shop cards. You’ve probably noticed my slight obsession with dark backgrounds lately – well, the obsession continues. I pulled out the latest additions to our Print Shop line-up – Garden Goodness and Daisy Days. I challenged myself to use a slightly different-to-me color combo (no pink allowed!) and wanted to try to create the feeling of a glowing garden.

For the Daisy Days card, I started out with the black panel from our matching Fill in the Blank papers. I stenciled the Daisy Days design using Oxide Inks in shades of blue, yellow, and green. I used Tumbled Glass, Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire, Mowed Lawn, and Mustard Seed. I left the daisies white so my design would have some lightness to it, and stamped the daisy petal details using Tumbled Glass. The focal point is a pretty butterfly, which is one of my sneaky sneak peeks of what’s coming to the shop as part of our latest collection, and I’ll share more details about that soon!

For my second card I used the Print Shop: Garden Goodness stamps and stencils. I created the design on white cardstock, then used the matching die to cut an overlay from black cardstock. The dragonfly is another sneak peek (although it might look a little familiar *wink*). I used the same ink colors for my Garden Goodness panel that I listed above for the Daisy Days version.

The sentiments on both cards were stamped using the Curio: Labels set, stamped onto diecut labels from the Curio: Divider & Details die. For both of my cards I added some additional colored pencil shading to my stenciling/stamping as well as some white pen details to really make things pop on the black!

Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope you enjoyed my “dark mode” projects and they’ve inspired you to keep cool and keep crafting this weekend!

TGIF – Garden Goodness Birthday with Dana

by Betsy June 10, 2022

written by Betsy

Happy Friday! I hope your June is off to a great start! Dana is here to take us into the weekend with a bright and summery birthday card!

Hi friends! I am so happy to be joining you here today on The Greetery’s Blog for TGIF! I am sure you have all received your new products from the new Garden Variety Collection. There are so many wonderful new products, perfect for so many occasions. I decided to use the new Print Shop: Garden Goodness set again and create a summertime birthday card with fun bright colors.

I started my card by using the Print Shop: Garden Goodness stencil and stamp set to make my card panel. The stencil set is designed to fill an A2 card panel and the stamps add the perfect amount of detail. Next, I used the Print Shop: Garden Goodness die to die cut all of the individual pieces. The possibilities are endless with this set. You can leave your card panel whole or use the individual pieces to create lots of different floral designs, clusters and accents.

For my card design, I used the Frosted Frame die to create my border around my card panel. Next, I attached all of the individual floral pieces to my card panel, leaving a space for my sentiment. Lastly, I used the All Kinds of Happy stamp and dies for my sentiment. I ink blended the Happy die cut with bright pink ink and attached it to the shadow die cut. I then used the All Kinds of Happy stamp set to stamp the word Birthday onto a banner that was die cut with the PreText Banner die.

That is all for today… Thanks for joining me and I hope you find some time to be creative this weekend.

Enjoy your day,

Dana

TGIF – Garden Gear Hello with Wanda

by Betsy June 3, 2022

written by Betsy

Happy Friday, dear friends! Wanda is here today to treat us to some summery Friday inspiration. I always love all the details she incorporates into her projects, and today’s is awesome as usual! It’s the perfect excuse to crack open your new release goodies. 🙂

Hi crafty friends! I’m so happy to be joining you here today on The Greetery Blog for TGIF! It’s always my pleasure to share a project with you! By now, your goodies from the new release should be arriving – yay! So I thought I would share a card made with items from the new release. I was very inspired by the garden theme! I have so many ideas.

My finished card is an A2 card base covered in pretty lime green cardstock, then white cardstock, then woodgrain cardstock. I used a strip of gingham to add a splash of whimsy, and a bit of twine too. This is a great go-to card layout and will work with any colors, patterned papers and themes!

I started by stenciling the gorgeous Print Shop Daisy Days in fresh shades of yellow, green and blue. Perfectly Summer colors… Once my panel was stenciled, I used the Garden Gear – Gloves dies to cut out the two gloves. The pattern looks great on the gloves!

I used a matching shade of blue cardstock to make the accents for the gloves. I also used a Copic marker to shade the blue. I die cut out the Scripty Hello Die from black cardstock for contrast against all the colors.

I attached the gloves to the card using foam tape for dimension. I added tiny yellow hearts too. I am a sucker for tiny details!! I can’t believe it’s June! So I’ll wish you a happy Summer, and of course, happy crafting!
