The Greetery Hip Hip Hooray Collection - Day 1




The Hip Hop Hooray Collection is almost here!  The latest Greetery release will be available Wednesday, April 26th at 10am EDT!  We get to share the release ahead of time with projects today and tomorrow.  

This month's release is all about birthdays.  And in pure Betsy fashion, she has thought about every detail!  I have 3 projects to share with you today so lets get started!  Don't forget to read till the end, where you will find details on the giveaways and the full blog hop list.  Don't forget to leave a comment on each stop along the way for more chances to win!



The Greetery


This card was so easy to create using the All Aglow Stencil combined with the All Aglow Die.  I added the stencils directly to the card base after hot foiling that beautiful sentiment at the top of the card.  Next, I die cut and stenciled the other candles, stamped the the sparkles and then popped the candles up with foam strips.  


The Greetery


This next card features the latest Tear Strips....but this time we have banners!  I love this new die set which continues to coordinate with all the Tear Strip stamp sets previously released.  This gives so much more life to an already amazing line!  


The Greetery


I stenciled the candles this time, directly on to the card base.  After adding in all the parts, I scored a 1/2" frame around the front.  


The Greetery


Using small foam squares, I attached the ends of the banners so the centers would pop up!  


The Greetery


Also had to get a quick shot of the little glowing circles.  I used my spray glitter while the stencil was in place to add in some sparkle!


The Greetery


This last card showcases the new Make a Wish Die and the new Sparkler Background Stamp.


The Greetery


This card was so fun to make!  I stamped the Sparkler Background onto a piece of teal cardstock.  Net, I die cut the Hidden Message Die (more on that tomorrow).  Using gold cardstock, I added in the coiled center frame from Frosted Frames.  The Make A Wish die worked perfect to cover the little hidden door!  I love the large sentiment and the font!

(Watch for the hidden message tomorrow on my instagram @laurie_willison)

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.
