Hello everyone! Today is an exciting day! It's time to introduce the brand new, beautiful February release from The Greetery!! It's called Lily and Palm and it's all about Spring and Easter. Gosh, it's really all so beautiful and classic. I feel so lucky to be part of this team! Betsy blows me away each month with her vision and the gorgeous, timeless stamps and dies. I love Easter, so this release is particularly a favorite!! I know you're going to love it too. I'm sharing three projects today - as is the rest of the team. Be sure to pop over to The Greetery Blog today to see allllll the inspiration, and the links to the rest of the design team. All the new products will be for sale tomorrow morning! Yay! I hope you have a blessed and beautiful day! Now, let's look at some projects!!
First up is a gift/candy box and matching mini card. I am thinking this is a lovely idea for place settings at the Easter table. Or small gifts to give your friends and family at church. The pillow box holds a gift card or some candies.... I used the gorgeous new Lily Botanicuts Dies...
I made the pillow box using the Pillow Box Punch Board! I used the Summer Sketches leaves stamp and stamped onto the aqua paper with Versamark ink to add some interest. Then I assembled the box. I wrapped the box with vellum and added a small doily. The focal point of the piece is that gorgeous Stargazer Lily!!! It was SO EASY to assemble!! In all the die sets, there is a graphic sheet included to show you exactly how to put everything together. Love that. I used cardstock and then added accents with Copic Markers and white paint. I love how it came out!!
I made a mini note card from cardstock and did some simple stamping....Sometimes one layer looks so clean and pretty!!
Here's a close up of the flower and the stamping on the pillow box...
Next up is an Easter card in non traditional hues... The finished card is an A2 kraft card base. I layered white and teal and then white again to make my focus on the cross and palms. I used the new Caring Cross stamps and dies along with the Palm Botanicuts... SO pretty!!!!
The palms were die cut from Bristol cardstock and then water colored with distress inks. the cross was die cut with woodgrain cardstock from my stash. The sentiment was stamped onto vellum and wrapped around the cardstock layers. This is one of my favorite looks. In fact the very first stamp class I ever taught was all about how to use vellum!!
I layered the palms in front of and behind the cross. I used liquid glue to glue them down. The cross is popped up with foam dots.
Lastly, is another Easter card made with the new Easter Jubilee Kit!! This kit is made up of dies, stamps and stencils and you're going to love it!! No one makes a kit like Betsy. She is a genius at designing things to work together so perfectly!! The finished card is an A2 white card base, layered with some pretty spring green cardstock and then a Crimped layer.
There are three stencils included in the kit and you use all three to layer down your base colors. In my photo, the first stencil was done with blue hues, the second stencil with green and the third stencil with purple. Then you go back with the stamps and add dimension to the flowers (dark green and dark purple). Like I said - genius!! The Easter letters fit inside the stenciled area.... love it!!
I wanted a watercolor effect so I splattered some more ink onto the panel. I added pearls for accents. And I used the new happy word die in purple and added it on top of the Easter part.
The color combinations for this are ENDLESS! I wanted to try something different so I used pretty purples....

That little pillow box is so cute - I think it would be fun to add some tea bags or little mints inside as party favors or just to take to work for some of the crew. Great idea and beautiful with that dimensional lily.
