Hi everybody! How's your week going so far? I hope you're having a great one! I've been busy in the studio a lot this week trying to get some pretty things made to share with you! And, today is a very exciting day! It's new release reveal day for The Greetery! This new release is called Tags & Toasts! Love it! It's a smaller release with two main product suites: Tag Team Duo and Year In Year Out. The new release will be live tomorrow, Friday November 12th at 10am EST! The Tag Team Duo line has stamps, dies, hot foil plates and stencils - everything works together to make gorgeous tags!! (I could have made 100 tags - so many ideas!) The Year In Year Out line has a fantastic 2022 die cut that you can use for New Year's cards and also for 2022 Graduations!! It also has stamps and stencils. I think you're gonna love it all! So happy to be part of the team today!
ALSO - BIG NEWS!! The Greetery will be running a 15% off storewide sale for two days - November 12 & 13! YAY! (Thank you Betsy) The sale will begin when the new release items go live in the shop at 10am EST on Friday, November 12, and ends on Saturday, November 13 at 11:59pm EST.
First up - my tags! I used the Tag Team Duo Dies, Stamps and Stencils to make four Christmas tags. I used the same classic color palette for all four and I think these would make a nice boxed gift for someone. I love kraft, red, and black together. Something cozy and homey about those colors together. And pops of green and gingham too.... I always seem to need a tag for a gift or a bottle of wine.... These came together easily and quickly and what a fun time too!
Here are all four of my tags together. I also used a few previously release stamps and dies - that you probably recognize! All the supplies are listed at the bottom of my post!
The greenery and such is all stamping and the stripes and dots are stencils! LOVE IT. I die cut my tags from kraft cardstock. I die cut two for each tag and glued them together to make my tags nice and sturdy. I did the stamping in red and green first. Then I went over the stamping using the stencils. I inked harder on the edges and softer over the stamped parts. I kinda like how this turned out. For the tops, I used a small stitched circle die cut in red. A few splatters of ink.... The sentiments are all heat embossed in white onto black cardstock.
I used some gingham ribbon from my stash and tied on some buttons and bells to make it pretty!!
One of my tried and true favorite ways to wrap a present is in kraft paper with twine and greenery. I think it's just lovely - and perfect for anyone.
Next up today is my card made using the Year In Year Out supplies! I created a bright and happy New Year Card! Black, gold and teal - oh so pretty!! The finished card is an A2 teal card base. I layered one layer of white cardstock and then the pretty festive supplies. I used the Year In Year Out 2022 Die Cut, the 2022 Stencils and the Year In Year Out stamp set. I also used the wonderful Pinwheel Party Stencils and Dies.
I die cut the large die cut from white cardstock. I used the stencils to brush teal ink onto the numbers. I used my blender brush and yellow ink to fade some yellow onto the shooting stars part of the die.
I die cut the Pinwheel Party Dies from black cardstock and used my favorite gold ink pad to stencil gold over the black. SO CLASSY!!! I used matching teal enamel dots for the centers.
For the sentiment I used the Year In Year Out stamp set. I used the small banner from the Cake Pop Banner Dies to heat emboss the Happy New Year words!
REMEMBER THE SALE STARTS FRIDAY AT 10AM EST!!
As usual, Betsy will generously be giving away two $50 gift certificates for the blog hop. The winners will be selected from comments left on all the blog posts! Good Luck!!

DESIGN TEAM INSPIRATION FOR TODAY'S RELEASE REVEAL:
Hi Wanda ! I'm always glad to see a post from you, because I know I will see a feast for the eyes! That's kind of corny I know :) I love your style, your coloring, I instantly love your makes!! Betsy is fortunate to have you on her team to showcase her wonderful products. I received my "marshmallow" colored Copics. I haven't had time to play with them yet. Thank you for your help in choosing the right colors. I don't suppose there's a "marshmallow coloring" tutorial in the future....hint :) LOL but I know you're busy as a bee, especially this time of year. hugs, Iris Shubert
