    First up today is I think my favorite card I made with the new release! It has everything…sparkle, pastels, a giant egg, a bow, and a bunny! Hee hee. This card features the brand new Golden Egg Dies, the brand new Chocolate Bunnies dies, some items from Tangled Tulips, and more of the gorgeous new Bigger Botanicals! My finished card is an A2 cream card base. I layered and layered with shades of teal and turquoise!

    I started by die cutting the largest egg first and coating it with chunky glitter – I set that aside to dry and made the rest of the elements. I die cut out the bow (more glitter) and the flowers and the bunny. This is such a traditional Easter color palette. I definitely had fun making this card, smiling the whole time!

    So you might notice that today’s chocolate bunny is facing the opposite direction of yesterday’s chocolate bunny! The die set comes with two – one facing each direction! That way you can put them together like they are rubbing noses! EEP.

    My next card is also an Easter card, but goes in a completely different direction! This card is more bright and vivid and modern! This next card features more of the Bigger Botanicals (Hawthorne) and also the Silly Goose Sentiments (we’ll get to that more in a moment!)… I used an old paper pad and die cut all the pieces from the solids in the pack. Lord, I have SO much patterned paper – need to start using it more! My finished card is an A2 white card base. I layered a postage panel and one of the tags from Tag Team Duo (I used scalloped scissors to trim the bottom of the tag).

    This card came together pretty simply. To me it feels fresh! I splattered on some black ink and used black heart accents to ground all that color. I used lots of foam tape to pop up all the layers. In the centers of the flowers I used a white gel pen to add dots.

    Okay….now Let’s Get Silly!! Final card of the new release! It’s sooooo dang fun and cute!! This card features the brand new Silly Goose Dies and Stamps and lots of vivid colors! Gosh, if this isn’t the cutest thing ever! My finished card is a bright white A2 card base layered with some blue gingham. I die cut a postage layer and inked the top with soft yellow at the top only. I die cut out all the pieces of the geese and put them together so easily! Then I stamped and die cut the sentiment. I LOVE their cute boots! I’m imagining me and my bff out for a shopping trip in our cute outfits (with a stop for coffee of course)!

  • The Greetery – Spring Jardin Collection – Showcase Day One!

    Hello hello hello my sweet friends! Something beautiful starts today! It is getting very close to Easter – which is my favorite holiday! And with that comes Easter and Spring crafting! Awesome. The Greetery has a brand new release this week, and it’s called the Spring Jardin Collection! As you would expect, it’s lovely, soft, spring-y and so pretty! Think eggs, and bunnies, and tulips and….geese! It’s so good. The design team will be showcasing our projects today and tomorrow, and then release day will be on Monday March 16th at 10am EST. I am so excited to show you everything! Three cards today, and three more tomorrow. I’m hoping to inspire you and get you looking forward to Spring! Let’s get started!

    For those of you (and me) that love the Rosemal Reflections stamps/dies/embossing folders, have I got a treat for you! This new suite is the same concept, but for Spring! It’s called Tangled Tulips! There is a gorgeous embossing folder, stamps and dies. It pairs perfectly with the Capsule Collection dies and makes larger, 5×7 cards. I went all out with my project – and chose a peach/apricot, soft green and gold color palette to make an Easter card. This card features the new Tangled Tulips stamps, dies and embossing folder. My card also features the Amen die and the cross from the Easter Morning Sentiments.

    I love all the color and texture in this card… The smaller dies match the embossing folder perfectly. I gently shaded the flower/leaf pieces using matching Copic markers. I added pearls because they fit the vintage vibe I was going for.

    You can never have enough little details! I used some green crinkly ribbon as an accent. Here you can see up close the embossed tulips… Also my gold splatters and gentle ink blending…

    Next up is this cuuuuuuuute Easter card with lovely purple accents! (I have always loved purple and yellow together) This card features lots of new products! First up – Chocolate Bunnies! Are you serious!? ADORABLE! And the new Shortbread Shapes Easter! And also new Bigger Botanicals – Soapwart. (There are several new botanicals this release!) So much good stuff. My finished card is slightly larger than an A2 – I cut it from kraft cardstock to allow a layer of gingham. I embossed and die cut the pretty new Shortbread Shapes background first.

    Then I die cut the flowers and the chocolate bunny! I gave everything a good coating of chunky glitter to look sparkly and pretty. I am already super smitten with that rabbit.

    I used a little white pom pom for his tail and sat him upon the sentiment. I wrapped a bit of natural twine through the ends of the sentiment by using a small hole punch. You can see there is an arch of vellum underneath too! All the tiny details!

    My last card for today features the other brand new Shortbread Shape – Spring! This one is full of beautiful florals on the Embossing Folder! I embossed and die cut the Shortbread Shape from kraft cardstock and gently inked with white pigment ink. My finished card is an A2 cream card base. I used the new Simple Spring Sentiments on this one – such a pretty font! I used the beautiful image sheets from the last release and die cut it out with the crimped rectangle die. I also used the gorgeous Magnolia Wreath Die….. Creating a vintage Spring card! And of course a pretty bow to finish it off. Be sure to use all your old and new supplies together!

  • Have a Beautiful Monday!

    Hi friends! Happy Monday! Just a quick little post today with a super cute card I made yesterday! I used supplies from last month’s release from Concord & 9th! They have the best supplies, don’t they? Easy stamps and dies that go together like a dream…. I used the brand new Scalloped Petals suite. And of course I had to add a little gingham! I hope you have a wonderful week!

    A bit of news: There’s a new Greetery release coming later this week!! YAHOO!! Everything beautiful for Easter!

    My finished card today is a white A2 card base….then a gorgeous blue die cut background and then those gorgeous floral dies.

  • Happy Valentine’s Day 2026! Fun vintage treat boxes full of chocolates!

    Hi friends! Wooooo I am really getting this project made and posted in the nick of time before Valentine’s Day! Yeah! Happy Friday! I am wishing you a weekend full of love and laughter with the ones you love! And, it’s a work holiday weekend too. Lots to be excited about. We don’t really have plans for Valentine’s day so maybe we’ll go to our favorite pizza spot and just enjoy being together. I hardly ever see my lovely husband anymore! I am looking forward to hanging out with him – my best friend. This past week was crazy busy. I’m taking a class at night and we got our taxes done one evening after work…this old girl is tired. But never too tired for crafting!

    For today’s project I made some over the top treat boxes for some of my Galentines at work. Hee hee. The gurls always appreciate a chocolate treat. All the supplies I used today are from Anna Griffin. The paper, the dies, the embellishments – everything. It all mixes and matches together in the best vintage way. I buy my Anna Griffin supplies straight from her website or from HSN! I added ribbon and glitter and gems from my stash. These treat box dies are brand new – they cut like a dream and go together very easily! I already am thinking of ideas to make these boxes for Halloween!

    The boxes hold a fair amount of candy and would definitely hold a small gift – like earrings or a gift card. The dies set has different rectangles to use to cut an opening in the box – like I did here. They you put some acetate behind the opening. You also could leave the box solid without the window – total preference. Okay, enough yapping, I have lots of photos to share!!

  • Pretty Pink Posh – Spring 2025 new release – Spring Smiles and Flowers!

    Hi friends! I’m back today with one more project I made with the beautiful new Pretty Pink Posh Spring 2026 release! I have been so excited to share this card with you! In case you missed my other PPP new release projects, go back one more post to see them!

    Today’s card features the brand new Watering Can Shaker dies, and the Stitched Spring Flowers, AND the new Banner Greetings Easter! Lots of pretty dies combined together in this card. My finished card is a white A2 card base, layered with blue gingham, a bit of vellum, and then an eyelet circle. I die cut the watering can three times and layered them so that it would be a little thicker. Then I die cut a bunch of flowers and leaves to layer into the can.

Today is the day for the beautiful new Spring 2026 release from Pretty Pink Posh! PPP Easter is truly one of my favorite releases each year, and this year is no different! Today is release day, so everything in my post is ready for shopping. I’m sharing two cards today, and then one more card next week, made with the new release! Yay! I hope to inspire you too!

    CLICK HERE FOR THE SUPPLY LIST FOR TODAY’S CARDS

    My first card today features the brand new Chick Shaker Dies, the brand new Large Easter Shadow dies and the brand new Easter Banner Greetings! So many fun new things! Of course I combined the new items with some of my previously released favorites from PPP! I created a pastel scene sure to make you smile!

    My finished card is a white A2 card base, layered with Eyelet Rectangles and then my Easter chick popping out of his egg! I die cut all the pieces and gently shaded them with Distress Inks. I used white gel pen, white splatters and chunky glitter as my accents/details. I wanted the eggs to look like those yummy sugared candy eggs. I gave my chick some pink cheeks and a cute bow tie too!

    Next up today is my second card, which features the brand new Stitched Clouds dies and the brand new Spring Holder Additions dies…. These clouds are PERFECT!! The set has three different sizes of two different clouds. I am going to use these again and again and again. I think they’re a staple for any craft collection!

    My finished card is a white A2 card base, layered with aqua and then a white layer. I kept my design very clean and simple and graphic. I do love an aqua and red color palette! I die cut out the clouds and the umbrella. I splattered everything with silver ink to look like rain… I added gems here and there and some raining hearts. This is just the right card to cheer up someone!

  • My Punny Valentines!

    Hi friends!! It’s finally February! Gosh, January was 575 days long! I’m glad it’s now the month of LOVE! I have lots of ideas, and as always, I am going to run out of time. Boo. I ordered some cool Anna Griffin dies for Valentine’s Day but they haven’t arrived yet. I’m going to try to make a project with them for this year. If not, they will be Easter projects! LOL. I hope you had a great weekend and that you are not freezing cold! I know so many of you went through that huge storm. I pray and hope you are all doing well.

    Today is my day on The Greetery Blog! Woop! And I’m sharing my cards here too. I made two cards today – Punny Valentines – with a clean and simple card design. My cards feature the fun Hearts at Home Toaster and Clock and the matching sentiments. I used a very basic Valentine color palette – red, white and silver. Both cards are A2 sized white cards….with lots of layers!

    First up is A Toast To Us! Hee hee. That super super cute toaster with poppin up toast! Fun fact about me – I LOOOOOVE toast! Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner or Snack! I started by doing loads of white and vellum layers and then popped in a bit of gingham to make it fresh. I die cut out all the elements and gently shaded the pieces using distress inks and sponge daubers. I added white gel pen accents and some glitter too. Even the little lever on the toaster is a heart! Cheers!

    My second card uses the exact same layout and design. But this card features the Hearts at Home Clock dies! I’m Yours For All Time! So sweet! Again I used red and white with a bit of silver. The fun thing I like to do is add hearts to everything. So here I added some red hearts and a few clear gems. Just a bit of sparkle and visual interest. Everything is popped up with foam tape also. Even though this card is clean and simple – it is THICK! Hee hee.

    Here’s a side view of my clock card. I used the Pretext Banners dies for the sentiments. The sentiments are from the Hearts at Home stamp set. Love the mix of fonts and the sayings!

    My first card for today features (one of) the newest additions to the Shortbread Shapes Collection. For this card I used the Shortbread Shapes Scalloped Hearts! OHHHHH these are gorgeous! And the matching Embossing Folder??? LOVE! My card also features the new Simple Valentine Sentiments…and the beautiful previously released Nordic Hearts! I used a pretty color palette of kraft, cream and bright vivid pink! Perfect for a valentine! This card is an A7 size – 5×7.

    I used woodgrain paper for the background embossing and then gently inked over the embossed parts with a small sponge dauber and white pigment ink. Just makes the raised parts pop!! On the cream embossed portion I used Antique Linen Distress Ink to add a bit of color. I also splattered on white paint and added bits and bobs of chunky glitter. It’s soooo romantical!!

    So I had to make at least one non-valentine!! Hee hee. To show you how versatile everything is. Spring is coming fast so I decided to make a pretty, fresh tulip card! This card features another one of the new Shortbread Shapes. This one is called Shortbread Shapes Rectangle Hearts. My finished card is an A2 kraft card base. I layered that pretty Shortbread background and then added tulips and a bow. The sentiment is from the brand new Simple Valentine Sentiments…but I feel like this might be a nice get well card, or just because card…

    Here’s a close up of everything… I heat embossed the sentiment in gold embossing powder for an elegant touch. I gently inked the top part of the cream panel using yellow ink and a blending brush. It’s very subtle, but picks up just a bit of color.

    I made that pretty Recency Bow out of gingham paper and shaded it just a bit with a yellow Copic Marker. A golden gem in the center!

    And my last card for the new release! I went kind of rogue for me! A big bold graphic color palette! Red, cream, black and silver! Usually I love gold, but I switched it up here! This card features the brand new Small Capsule Fixed Borders dies (the black part), and the new Sweetest Frames Capsule Edition…of course along with other beautiful Capsule Collection elements too! I used the hearts from the Shortbread Shapes dies. They are perfection! This finished card is an A2 cream card base, then allllll the layers!

    I used the Rosemal Reflections embossing folder and inked it with black!! Looks really cool. I splattered silver ink all over everything… In this photo you can see the beautiful details of the new stamp set. I embossed with silver embossing powder onto black. The new dies cut out the border perfectly! (Genius)….

    a bit of vellum to layer, and then my sentiment is stamped into a circle panel. A tiny bow and of course one more heart complete the look!
