The Greetery Reveal Day 2...

Welcome back, friends!  Today we are showcasing another round of stamps and dies for the August Release over at the Greetery.  Today's stamps are Bountiful Wreath stamps & dies and Harvest Home stamps & dies.

This first card is super clean and simple using the new Bountiful Wreath Stamps....

First, I stamped the wreath and all its layers.  I wanted it to have a little more detail so I went in with Copics and added in shading all around. 

I cut the wreath in heal and added it to the bottom of the card with foam tape and then stamped the sentiment in the middle.  To add a little extra detail, I corner rounded the top corners of the card.

The next card features Harvest Home....

Keeping with the clean and simple theme of this post, I kept the image all to the leaf dies that coordinate with the Harvest Home stamp set.  I die cut the leaf in 2 different colors of card stock and then added the strips from the stamp set. 

First, I stamped the starry sky on the card base.  Next, I stamped the barn and windmill and then die cut those pieces and tucked them into the leaf.  The top part of the leaf is glued to the card base and the bottom part of the leaf is popped up on foam tape so I could tuck the barn down inside.  I finished the card off with the give thanks sentiment. 

Check out more info on today's reveal.  Remember that release day at The Greetery is Friday August 23 at 9am CST.  Check out more of Day 2 reveals by stopping by each of these amazing stops.....

Spellbinders 2019 Holiday Blog Hop...

Hello Spellbinder Fans!  Today is a super fun day for all things Spellbinders and all things Holiday!  The hop is on today with tons of inspiration and some prizes!  Keep scrolling to see 2 projects, the giveaway details and a full list of stops on today's hop.

CARDS

One of the new die sets from Spellbinders is called Shapeabilites Joy Etched Dies.  I just love this die and how much fun it is to put together.

To create this card, I first cut the large die with green card stock.  Next, I layered up the holly, leaves, poinsettia and holly berries with different colors of green and red glitter.

I also cut the JOY in red glitter and again in fun foam to pop up the sentiment.  Using liquid glue, I added in all the details and leaves to create this colorful Christmas sentiment.  I attached the die cut to a white scored card base to finish it off. 

The next card showcases the Holiday Sentiments Hot Foil Glimmer Plates....

I used Gold Foil and foiled up 3 of the sentiments on red and green card stock.  Next, I used the strip die that comes with the sentiments to cut out 3 sentiments.

I popped up the three strips with foam tape so they just pop off the card.  Last, I grasped the Santa D-Lites Dies to make this adorable face.  He fits right on those sentiments for a fun clean and simple card.

MFT August Card Kit Countdown....

Good morning!  Today is day 2 of the countdown for the Say it in a Starburst Card Kit.  MFT's latest card kit will be available tomorrow for purchase over at the MFT Shop.

I have a quick and clean and simple card today using the Burst image and a sentiment from the kit...

This was super easy to make.  I stamped the Burst in Gold Delicata Ink and then added a little blend of the same ink.  

I heat embossed the sentiment from the set with Gold Embossing Powder and then die the sentiment out with the banner die included in the kit.  I popped up the banner on foam tape and then added some gold discs to finish off the card.

The rest of the team will have more to see over on the MFT Blog today.  Stop back by for tomorrows release day for one last project!

Thanks so much for coming by today!  Have a great day!

The Greetery Full Reveal Day 1...

Hello friends!  Welcome to Day 1 of the Full Reveal's for The Greetery's August Release.  For the next four days, the Inspiration Team will be here sharing the new stamps and dies.  Today I am showcasing the new sets, Cotton Comforts stamps & dies, Autumn Sketches stamps & dies.

_____________________________________

CARDS

For this first card, I am using the set called Cotton Comforts...

These new stamps took my breath away when I first say them.  I am in awe of how these images come together to create the softest looking cotton.  I stamped the cotton stem on light gray card stock and then stamped on the sentiment included in the set. 

I scored 3 small lines below the sentiment and then popped the card front up on a white card base.

This next card was so fun to make!  

I used one of the images in Autumn Sketches to create this simple look.  I stamped the leafy image in Versamark and then heat embossed with white embossing powder.

Next, I used The Crimped Frame Die to cut the center of the card out.  I adhered the frame on a white card stock and the popped up the center with fun foam.  Last, I heat embossed one of the sentiments included in the Autumn Sketches cards, along the bottom of the frame.

Check out more info on today's reveal.  Remember that release day at The Greetery is Friday August 23 at 9am CST.  Check out more of Day 1 reveals by stopping by each of these amazing stops.....

MFT August Card Kit Countdown....

It's time for a new card kit countdown over at MFT.  This month's card kit is called Say it in a Starburst.  This kit has lots of possibilities for sure!

Today, I am using just the Starburst die from the kit.  Everything else on my card is available in the MFT store.  

First I used the Starburst Die on some yellow cardstock and then cut that out with a Stitched Circle Die.  I added the burst to a card base that I stenciled in clouds and grass.

I used the Sweet Hello die to add the big sentiment and then finished the card off with some clear drops. 

Stay turned for more countdown days before Tuesday's Kit Release day.  The MFT blog will have lots more inspiration to see today so head on over there!

Have a great day!

Laurie
