The Greetery - Hint of Autumn Day 2


Welcome to day 2 of this amazing Greetery Release.  If you have stopped in today, you have hit the Clean and Simple side of the Greetery!  I have 3 quick and easy projects using Betsy's beautiful new stamps, dies and stencils!  Oh...and some amazing hot foil plates!


This first card was created with the new Mushroom Meadow Stencil and Hot Foil Plate.  It is hard to see in the photo but many of the small elements are hot foiled in gold.  I took the coordinating stencils and added in color.

For the sentiment, I used Oblong Octagon Labels Hot Foil and Die set to create the frame.  Using the Capsule Collection Floral Border Stamp set, I added that adorable sentiment!

Next up is a new die set called Wild Wetlands.  This little die cut bouquet was so easy to create.  I layered up all the different colors and added a simple sentiment to finish off the card.  It so hard to see in the photo, but I used the smalled Capsule die and did some dry embossing on the white card base just for another fun little detail. 


The Greetery - Hint of Autumn Release


Last up, an amazing new set called Autumn Herbarium.  This set includes a large red rubber stamp with stencils to create all the leaves at once.  There is a large die that will cut out all the leaves at once along with an embossing folder that works great for backgrounds, but also gives all those leaves a really great 3D look!  For this card, I stamped and stenciled up a variety of leaves and added them to a Capsule die, along with a sentiment and some gold pearls for some bling.  Super simple!

The other issue is wether or not you need a google account.  I have my comments set to "anyone" so technically you should be able to leave a comment with any type of login, but Blogger is a pain.  If you can't leave a comment and are not sure if you your name is posting along with your comment, please add your name and email address to the end of your comment. This way we can see who you are if your comment gets chosen as a winner!  I am sorry for the annoyance.  I have no idea why it doesn't work like it should.  I have googled and switched settings around and tried all the things but again...

The Greetery - Hint of Autumn

 



I don't know about you but I am ready for this summer heat to hit the road!  I love fall and the temps and the colors and the football....and all the things!  We can also include in that list, an amazing new release from The Greetery called Hint of Autumn.  There will be 2 days where we will be sharing all the new products and then release day is Wednesday, August 27th at 10am EDT.  If you are reading this on that day, you can click HERE for the full release!


This first card was made using the new set called Capsule Cameos: Autumn stamp Set. There is also a coordinating die set and a sentiment set to go along! I kept it super simple today with a light gray ink stamped on white cardstock, cut out with the coordinating die to create a soft window, backed with gray cardstock. I finished if off with a sentiment from the same set.

Next up, another new stamp set called Thankful and Blessed.  I love the big bold sentiments in this set as they work well with a clean and simple card.  I used the Capsule dies to cut out the sentiment and backed it with card base made with the Herringbone Parquet Die.  Super simple!


The Greetery - Hint of Autumn Release


Last up, I made this card using a few new products but showcasing the Capsule Collection Floral Boarders.  I used the capsule die and outlined it with this beautiful fall border.  I layered on some leaves....that you will see more of tomorrow. :)

Star Spangled Summer - The Greetery May 2025

 




Hey there crafty friends!  Welcome to a fun little tour of an AMAZING new release from The Greetery!  I have 3 projects to share using new stamps, stencils and dies from the Star Spangled Summer Release over at The Greetery.  Everything you see today, will be available tomorrow, Friday, May 30th at 10am EDT. 

 __________________________________

Let's get started with today's cards!  This first project was made using 2 new products:

Grand Finale Die and Stencil
Land of Liberty Stamp Set and Die Set
The Greetery - Star Spangled Summer Release May 2025


To create this card, I first used the large background die on a piece of vellum.  I added the red color with a blending brush on top of the stencil that comes in the set.  After laying in the little glittery pinwheels and bottle rockets to the vellum, I layered the full panel on a piece of blue cardstock.  I love how the cutouts add the blue color of the cardstock shing through!  Next up, I stamped an heat embossed the beautiful sentiment from the Land of Liberty Stamp Set and cut it out with the coordinating die.  I popped up the sentiment with some foam tape to give the card a bit of dimension.

This next card was created using these new products:

Land of Liberty Stamp Set and Die Set
Wave the Flag Border Die
Star Stream Die
Star Stream Hot Foil Plate


The Greetery - Star Spangled Summer Release May 2025


First up, I used red hot foil and the Star Stream Hot Foil Plate to create the shiny design on the car base.  Next, I die cut the Star Stream card front die. They line up pefectly so you can see the hot foil right through!  I die cut the flag and added it to the top of the card and then heat embossed the sentiment in gold.  I love the open dies for these intricate sentiments because they cut so perfectly!

The last card for today includes:

Star Stream Embossing Folder
Star Stream Stencils
Star Stream Sentiments Stamp Set and Die Set

The Greetery - Star Spangled Summer Release May 2025


This one was fun to make!  I actually did the stenciling first using just 2 colors.  I did red and blue ink.  A lighter version for the strips and a heavier had with the stars.  I used that panel and put it through my die cut machine with the new embossing folder.  It is so hard to photograph but the dimension is really fun in person!  I added three strips of cardstock to adhere my sentiment and then added in the star dies to finish it off!
