Tomato Tomato Card

To create this card I used:


The Greetery - La Dolce Vida Collection July 2026


These tomatoes are just adorable!  I die cut and layered up the piece to create this cute little stem.  I added them to a striped card base and a panel made with the Postal Frames dies.  To finish it off, I added the adorable sentiment from Tomato Tomato Stamp Set and added in a few dew drops.

A Note To Say Hello Card

To create this card I used:



The Greetery - La Dolce Vida Collection July 2026

This one was super easy as i wanted to draw all the attention to this gorgeous embossing folder called Shortbread Shapes: Rectangle Tiles Embossing Folder.  I first use the Shortbread Shapes Rectangle Die and cut out the white cardstock.  Using that die cut, I embossed it with the folder.  Doing this part 2nd gives you a much crisper embossed image.  I layered it with some dark blue cardstock and added it to the card base with a sentiment from the Simple Everyday Sentiment Stamp Set



The Greetery - La Dolce Vida Collection July 2026

This last card was a fun little scene to create.  First up was the blue card base.  I needed clouds so I went way back to a must have set called Sunset Skies Stamp Set and added in white puffy clouds in the background. I used the Rolling Hills Die along with the Rolling Hills Stencil to create the hills.  I added in the sweet little Countryside Mini Villa Die for the house and trees.  I stamped and die cut the Rolling Hills Bella Terra Addition Stamp Set flowers for the hill top and then added in the sentiment from Simple Everyday Sentiments on the Shortbread Shapes: Rectangle Labels die cut.

A little info about commenting here on my blog....


My comments are moderated because I get a ton of spam.  The kind of spam that tells me about cholesterol medication, among others, and just weird bot comments so I filter those out.  If you leave a comment and don't see it, thats ok!  I will see it and I will get it posted for you.  

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... 

Blogger is a pain.

Birthday Fishes Gift Box

To create this project I used:


The Greetery - La Dolce Vida Collection July 2026

This was a fun project to create.  I never thought I would ever build a sardine can LOL!  I used the canned dies to layer up the box with the base using 3 of the large can die cuts.  The first layer is kraft, then red and then the top is the silver cardstock.  

The fun part about the scored die included in the Canned die set is that the red flap on this 2nd layer becomes a door.  It is attached at the top but can easily be opened to reveal a gift card or cash inside.  So this little gift box will be hiding a an extra surprise!

After I attached the cash with some low tack removable adhesive, I glued the red panel onto the kraft panel to enclose the gift.  

After having the base complete, I attached the can front to the Arched Box Large Die.  It fits perfectly behind the large Canned die.  I layered the front with the silver panel, the little fish dies and the sentiments on the front to finish off the can part of the project.   

AND then you can fit one more surprise inside!

The Greetery - La Dolce Vida Collection July 2026

I added a little bag of Swedish Fish with a label made using the Ciao Bella Border Stamp Set and the Something Fishy Sentiment Stamp Set.

The Greetery - La Dolce Vida Collection July 2026

One last detail was a tag from Something Fishy Sentiment Stamp Set on the back of the die to finish it all off!

Coastal Cuttings Thank You Card

To create this card I used:


The Greetery - La Dolce Vida Collection July 2026

For this card, I used a yellow card base layered with the Cottage Tile Background Die. It is a large die but very easy to cut down to an A2 sized card front.  Coastal Cuttings Die Set was so easy to die cut and piece together.  I popped it up on foam tape and added in the Loopy Bow Builder Die in gold cardstock.  Adding in the sentiment from Simple Everyday Sentiment Stamp Set was last on that perfect little banner die from Sentiment Suite Basics Die Set.

The Greetery - La Dolce Vida Collection July 2026

I had so much fun creating today's projects!  Remember everything you see here will be available on Friday, July 10th at 10am eastern.

  __________________________________


This first quick and simple card uses these new products:


I used the Embossing folder all by itself for this A2 sized card.  I love the dimension in the white card stock.  The seahorse really pops off the card this way.  I used the Basics Dies to create the centerpiece.  So easy and fun!


The Greetery - Hey Honey It's Summer!


For this 5x7 card I used the following new supplies....


To create this background, I die cut first, stenciled and then embossed all for some fun detail and dimension.  I added that cutie little crab for a fun birthday card!

The Greetery - Hey Honey It's Summer!

One last card....


For this backround, I used the stencil and the die cut only.  I love how it looks die cut on a white backround.  I added in the Fish die cut with coordinating colors on the fins.

So this first project is actually a card holder. Let's start with a supply list:



The Greetery - Fete & Fiesta May 2026 Release


I die cut all the pieces for the Stationary Box Die and then die cut one of them with the Capsule Party Scene Balloon Die.  I cut out 2 extra panels using the box die and then cut the banners in each one.  Before putting the box together, I used the Capsule Party Scene Stencils to add in colors to each of the 3 layers.  I used 1/4" foam squares to attach the 1st banner panel behind the ballon panel and again with the 2nd banner panel.  I was able to close up the Stationary box and still have room for a couple cards behind.  I slide in the blue cardstock with the sentiment to show through the party dies.  To finish it up, I added some Stickles to the stars on the front of the box. 


The Greetery - Fete & Fiesta May 2026 Release


Just to add a coordinating card (although hard to see that with this photo...it really does coordinate in real life!), I made up this quick capsule banner card to go in the stationary box behind the party scene!


The Greetery - Fete & Fiesta May 2026 Release

This next card uses some old and some new:


The Greetery - Fete & Fiesta May 2026 Release


This one was a fun and simple card to create.  I layered up the cake, candles and the sentiment and then added in the 2.  The 2 was so easy to create.  I first used the For the Ages Die to cut the base number, then I placed it in the embossing folder with a little removeable tape.  You can obviously cut the whole sheet of numbers but its super easy to just cut one out.  Then I ran it through to emboss.  This keeps that crisp embossing from getting flatted after die cutting.  I used the For the Ages Detail Die to add in the yellow outline for a little extra color.  And, of course, to finish this one off, I added more stickles!  Stickles make everything better!


The Greetery - Fete & Fiesta May 2026 Release

One last Pretty Picado Card....


To create this card, I die cut the Star Studded Capsule in yellow cardstock and layered it with the Pretty Picado border die in white.  I added the most adorable Picado Blooms to the center and finished it off wtih a sentiment from Pretty the Picado Sentiment Set.
