The Greetery Capturing Summer Reveals Day 1...

Hi friends!  It's day 1 of the Capturing Summer Reveals for The Greeterys latest release!  I have 2 cards to share using a few of the new products.  The new stamps and dies....you are going to love them!

This first card showcases the new Sitting Pretty Die along with the Sitting Pretty Accessories.  First, I grabbed the best little grass stamp from the Pot-Pourri Stamp Set to create a little grass border on the side of the deck.  I did a little ink blending to create an evening sky.  The white paint splatter works for a light starry sky.  I die cut the porch and chair and all those fun little pieces, did some watercolors, made a stripped rug and bam....a fun little porch scene!

I carried over the same grass and sky from the first card to make a coordinating background.  I added in the sentient from Firefly Nights.  I love this new set and all the sentiments included.  I die cut several little lightening bugs and used gold cardstock to add some shine.  I finished it off with a little red heart die cut for another pop of color.

Gold Foil Fantasticness....

 Have I told you how much I love hot foiling?  I do.  Its the easiest detail that adds so much to a card front!  The new July Glimmer Hot Foil Kit is amazing and these plates are so perfect to add to your stash.  Just a good basic detail for slimline cards....and for any other size really.

I taped down 2 of frames on a piece of cardstock and then added the gold foil.  After running it through my Glimmer System it revealed the most gorgeous shine!  I added in the big blooms from The Greetery and then added the front panel to a mini slim line card base.  So easy!

Are you new to hot foiling?

Spellbinders has a platform called Glimmer Hot Foil System.  This platform heats up metal plates called Glimmer Plates.  These glimmer plates come in ALL different types....sentiments, florals, backgrounds, graphic details etc....and add the most gorgeous foiling detail to your cards.  And the foils?  There are LOTS of different colors to chose from!

Here are some links to help point you in the right direction....

Glimmer Hot Foil System

Glimmer Hot Foil Rolls

Glimmer Hot Foil Plates

The Glimmer Hot Foil System works great with a Platinum 6 Die Cut machine from Spellbinders but also works with other die cut machines. You can click HERE to see a compatibility chart.  

So once the platform and your glimmer plate heat up, you add in the foil and the cardstock and run in thorough your die cut machine.  Once you pull off the foil negative, the magic happens!  That foil that is set on your cardstock is just gorgeous!

Mini Slim Essentials Release {Taylored Expressions}...

 Good morning!  Taylored Expressions is having a super fun release today!  It's all about the Mini Slim Card making supplies.  I have a couple cards to share but to start, if you would like to see the full release, click HERE!

The first stamp set I want to share is called Toucan Do It!  It is the most fun Toucan image that comes with stencils that do the coloring for you!  You know I like that!  :)

I added a little Slimline Sunray Stencil in the background and then cut it out with the Stitched Mini Stacklets.  And, of course, I had to add those adorable clouds!  

On this next card, I used the new Mini Slim Wonky Dots Stencil to dry emboss the card base.  I love the little strawberry seed look it gives.  I added a little piece of miscellaneous patterned paper to the front, cut out with the Stitched Mini Slim Stacklets.  Using the new Circle Window Frames, I added the sentiment along with a little berry from the new set called Tutti Frutti.  When you open up the precut Trip-Fold Card you can see I created a "berry" special scene.  (I had to....LOL!)

Using the Cloud Stencils and the Grass Stencils, I blended out the background.  I went in with the Modern Tree Stamp and Stencil set to add that adorable tree! I felt like I needed to add in a few more berries as well!  Now the inside is ready for a personal message!

Right now through Sunday, July 4th (or while supplies last), You can get the Tickled Pink Card Making Bundle for 15% off! The bundle includes the Tickled Pink Stamp & Stencil Combo set, Tickled Pink die, and Mini Slim Tropical Leaves stencil. The discounted bundle price is only available through Sunday, July 4th.

Check out today's full release by clicking HERE!

Thanks so much for coming by today!
