Hi crafty friends! Welcome to Day TWO of our three day new release party for The Greetery! The new collection is called Christmas Time! Be sure to look at my post from yesterday if you haven't already! We're doing three days of previews and projects and then the new release will be available for shopping on Thursday at 10am EST! I have two more cards to share with you today! I am over the moon with excitement about all the good things in this product release. It's amazing and I had the most fun crafting with the new stamps, dies, stencils and more!!
Today's cards feature the new Curio Collection additions and the new Christmas Time product suite (genius).... Let's get started!!
My first card today showcases the new Curio Ornaments Dies (YAY for more Curio items), the Ornament Box Tops stamps and dies, and the new Curio Divider/Details Dies! My finished card is A2 size and the Ornament Box Top fills the entire card front! I made my card to look like a box of vintage 60's ornaments. Can I even tell you how much fun it was to make this???
I started by stamping my ornament box in aqua ink. I stamped the accent pieces in red ink. And then die cut out everything. Note: There are two ornament box stamp/die sets: One is vertical (I used that one) and one is horizontal. The stamp is a giant red rubber stamp and the dies cut out the banner and the smaller pieces you see in red. Again, this is genius! I like this side view because you can see all the different elements. I wracked my brain on how to make it look old... Came up with the idea of stenciling a gingham background in Antique Linen Distress Ink and also I wrinkled up a piece of vellum and glued it around the opening to look like old tissue paper!!
The Curio Ornaments die set has so many wonderful Christmas elements. In addition to ornaments there is a Holly, Wreath and a little deer.
The new Divider Die is mounted inside the opening to make it look like a box of goodies. I used a 60's color palette of pink, red, green, aqua and gold. I also used lots of glitter and some gems. The more sparkle the better!
All the tiny details are what make these ornaments so pretty!!
The background was done using the Square Dance Stencils all in one color ink. It looks old and funky!! I splattered on a bunch of white paint on the box also.
Okay, kids, hold onto your hats.... Introducing the new Christmas Time (In the City and In the Country)!!! An hourglass concept that you can fill with stamps and dies to create a little Winter Wonderland scene! OMG do you love it??? My finished card is an A2 card base out of gray cardstock. The hourglass fills up the entire front. There are several pieces you can use to mix and match and create your own specific scene. Really lovely idea!! I used the City dies and the pretty die cut snowflakes at the top of my piece.
All the dies are separate so you can mix and match your papers. I used woodgrain paper, silver paper and white paper to make my hourglass. I ink blended the background and the little lake at the bottom using aqua/blue Distress Inks.
The matching stamp set has these pretty sentiments that fit onto a gorgeous banner. Here's a close up of the die cut snowflakes background too.
I generously applied clear glitter to everything and my usual snow splatters.
I'm definitely a Christmas-in-the-city type of girl. Are you a city girl or a country girl? I stamped some snowflakes onto my card base to keep the theme going. I wanted it simple so no layers here. Just that big beautiful hourglass.
That's it for day TWO of our three day extravaganza!! Be sure to come back by tomorrow - you won't be disappointed my friends! I'm loving it alllll! Hope you are too!
