The Greetery - Autumn Air Collection Day 1...

 The latest collection from The Greetery is here!  Thursday, August 29th is the day!  We are showcasing all the latest in fall fashion today and tomorrow.  Don't forget to leave a comment on each stop for your chance to win!

When getting into a post, showing all the things, I want to say....welcome to the clean and simple OR quick and simple side of The Greetery.  I love taking Betsy's gorgeous designs and creating easy and simple cards in hopes that you are inspired to make some too!  Let's get started!


This first card used the new stamp/stencil combo called Autumn Crest.  

The Greetery

To create this card, I stamped and stencil the gorgeous crest.  The stamp set comes with several sentiments and you can also purchase the dies to cut out the full image.  I added some score lines to a green card base and then attached the crest with some some foam tape for dimension. 


This next card was made using the Mums the Word stamp set.  

The Greetery

I love those blooms and the possibilities with this set.  You can create a full frame, or keep it simple but just using a little corner piece.  I added a masked off frame of the same color I stamped the mums in and then added in that gorgeous sentiment from the same set. 


One last new set today called Oakwood....

The Greetery


These were created with a stamp/stencil combo.  The color combos you could use on these leaves are endless!  I love the detail and just how easy it was to create.  I layered this on cardstock that I ran through with the new Pierced Plaid Plate.  Love that subtle detail!

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.

To create this card, I used the Spring Meadow Background with a gray ink on a light gray card base.  I die cut the spiral bound elements in a silver cardstock and created a calendar page.  Using the elements from the Calendar Basics Stamp Set, I created a specific birthday day, birthday card!  I added a pop of color using the flowers from the Birth Month Blooms Cutables and a pen with the Pen Pal Die.

I created a quick and simple birthday calendar with the 2025 Calendar Pages - Full Page.  


Untitled


I used the Spiral Bound Dies on the top of each page and then added the monthly bloom to each of the inside pages.  To create the birthday calendar, I used a ruler and a black pen to add lines.  At the top of each page, I used the "Take Note" sentiment, creating a page to record birthdays. I also used the Calendar Grid Die Stencil to add a little extra color to the pages.

This card was made using these new sets...
  • BotaniCuts Wisteria die
  • A2 Stitched Scallops die
  • Scalloped Gingham stencils

The Greetery - Garden Party June 2024


To create this card, I made a shaped card using the largest of the Scalloped A2 Dies.  I added in some light yellow stenciling with the Gingham stencils and stamped a sentiment from New Day Sentiments Set.  Next, I die and watercolored the new Bontanicuts Wisteria.  these are so easy to create!  I splatter on a little white paint and sparkle and finished the card off with some clear drops.  Yes I am obsessed with clear drops.  :)


The Greetery - Garden Party June 2024


This next card was made using:

  • Atrium die
  • Bird of Paradise Border die
  • Palm Border die


The Greetery - Garden Party June 2024


To create this card, I die cut the Atrium in pink cardstock and added it to a white card.  I cut the Palm Border and Birds of Paradise Border in 2 different green yardsticks and layered them up.  I added a sentiment from the Way To Grow Sentiment Set on the Tear Trip Tag Die and then added in some black splatter and sparkle!


The Greetery - Garden Party June 2024


For this card I used:

  • Sippin’ Summer stamp set and die
  • Trendy Tumbler die
  • Squeeze the Day stamp set and die
  • Char-Cut-erie Board Die



The Greetery - Garden Party June 2024


For this card, I used the lemons for the inside of the tumbler to create a repetitive background.  I layered on the cutting board with the engraved sentiment and then finished it off with the lemonade tumbler and a few extra lemons!


The Greetery - Garden Party June 2024


One last quick and simple card today using:

  • Summer Silly Straws die
  • Large Lemon stencil and die


The Greetery - Garden Party June 2024


This card was SO easy to make.  I ink blended up that gorgeous lemon and its blooms and then die cut the hello summer from the Summer Silly Straws.  I layered each one with a die cut of fun foam to make them dimensional.  After they were glued down, I covered them in a layer of glossy accents for some shine!

The Greetery - Garden Party Day 1

Our theme is Garden Party! Tons of fun and summery goodies...everything you need for a garden tea party...teacups, teapots, vintage china, lemonade, flowers, gingham, and cute finger foods.  We have lots to share in these next 2 days so lets get started!

__________________________________

  • Fine China stamp set, die + stencil
  • Brew-Tea-ful stamp set and coordinating sentiments and bouquet die
  • A2 Stitched Scallops die
  • Scalloped Gingham stencils




The Greetery


To create this card, I stencil the gingham background with a light yellow and coral color.  I used the A2 Stitched Scallop Die to cut out the largest of the 3 stencils.  Next, I stamped up that adorable plate and cut it out with the coordinating die.  I added in the cutie little Tea Cup and tea bag from Sips Tea.  The sentiment is from Brew-Tea-ful Day Sentiments and the card is finished off with a few clear drops. 


The Greetery

The Greetery - Garden Party June 2024


To create this card, I ink blended up the middle sized Scalloped Gingham Stencil and cut it out with the coordinating A2 Scalloped die.  I cut the piece in half diagonally so I could make 2 coordinating cards.  This card shows off one of the adorable tea pots in Pours Tea Die Set and colored up with the adorable coordinating stencil.  I used the bouquet from Brew-Tea-ful Day Sentiments to add in the cute little flowers and sentiment.  


The Greetery - Garden Party June 2024
