The Greetery - Winter Wanderer Collection - Day 1!

Hi there everybody! Happy Thanksgiving Week! Hope you're doing great! Something else is happening this week that is also very exciting! A brand new beautiful release from The Greetery! Can I get a WOOHOOOO? It's the last release of the year. And, boy, what a year this has been for The Greetery. I am so blessed to be part of this team! So much inspiration and beauty to share throughout the year. This latest release is called the Winter Wanderer Collection. It's dreamy and pretty and boho chic!! Again, Betsy has done it by creating something totally new and creative to keep us busy crafting. The collection is full of flowers and gorgeous sentiments, and macrame!! It's delightful. We will be sharing cards and projects today and tomorrow. Then the new release will be available for purchase on The Greetery Website Friday morning at 10am EST. 

I have two cards to share today... One is a boho chic floral creation, and the other is an icy blue snowy creation! Let's get started!

The first card is an A2 card base made from aqua paper. I used the Crimped Frame dies for the top, cream layer of cardstock. This set a nice frame for those gorgeous florals. The new products used for this card are: Hoop Wreath and Hoop and Fringe Dies. 

 

Here is a close up of the florals!!! ACK!!! So pretty!!! Two step florals with matching dies... Oh, and that gorgeous greenery spray that fits perfectly around the new Hoop Dies!! The sentiments in the floral set all have matching dies - so I used the stamps and dies to make the "hello" sentiment.

 

I made a bow from the previously released Fit To Be Tied dies....

 

I used Copic Markers on some of the flowers for a bit more color depth. I also splashed gold watercolor paint over the entire card - generously! I love a good gold paint splatter (as you know!) I layered everything with lots of foam tape. The hoops are from the new Hoop and Fringe Die set - it's round circles and then different sizes of fringe to put on the bottom. Genius!!

 

 

 

 

Next up is an icy blue Winter Wishes Snowflake card! (I'm suddenly singing Let it Go!)... I used the new suite of products called Catching Snowflakes. Stamps and matching dies... These also work together with the same Hoop and Fringe Die set I used in the card above. This card is a finished white A2 card base. I used only blue, white and silver as my color palette.

 

I made a pretty snowflake dream catcher! So easy to use the gorgeous die cuts.... The snowflakes come with the stamp set... Oh and look at the perfectly curved sentiment!! 

 

My background panel was made with three shades of blue Distress Inks, Bristol cardstock and my blender brushes. After I inked the background, I went back with the same colors of ink and stamped snowflakes over the blended ink... Subtle yet pretty! I also splashed some white snow, I mean paint, over the background.
