----> NOTE: I HAVE TWO BLOG POSTS TODAY! FOR THE PRETTY PINK POSH BLOG HOP POST CLICK HERE! THANK YOU!
Hi friends! Welcome to Day Two of ideas, projects and product reveals for the gorgeous new "Breath of Spring" release from The Greetery! What did you think of yesterday?? Do you have a favorite item yet? The other designers are blowing me away with their cards!! I have three cards to show you today! I am SO excited! Today is day two, the final day, of reveals. All of the new items will be available for shopping tomorrow, Thursday March 17th at 10am EST! Start making your list!
First up today is a French Vintage inspired card featuring the brand new Botanicuts-Crocus Dies, and lots of other Greetery goodies! The finished card is an A2 kraft card base, layered with purple gingham and cream cardstock. This card is definitely a 'more is more' card and it brought me a lot of joy to sit and create it! I was inspired by a French country market, where you can gather up a bouquet of flowers (fleurs) in brown paper wrapping and smile on down the street!
Here is a close up of the pretty new Crocus dies! My favorite Crocus color is violet/purple/dark blue. In fact, we have some popping out in our front yard right now! It was very easy to assemble these florals, and Betsy will include a guide in the package to help you. I used purple and lavender cardstock and used Distress Inks around the edges of the petals for a bit more detail and dimension. If you look closely, you can see the Botanicuts-Carrots carrot tops as filler greenery.
I went really vintage with this card. The flower wrap die is a discontinued die from another company, but I think you could craft one by folding a square of cardstock!! I inked and splattered and stamped the wrap part.
Here's another close up of the Crocus and greenery. I generously splattered on some white paint as well. The "Fresh Picked" words are from the Mason Jar set from The Greetery!
I used the beautiful Bold Alphabet Dies to die cut the French word for Flowers! I die cut the Spring Word Die in a pretty olive green.
In this photo you can see my paper layers and my stamping layers. I die cut a little tag for the flowers and tied it with natural twine. One little heart does the trick! I inked the edges of the tag with Distress Ink.
My next card features the whimsical and wonderful Curio Spring elements! Oh man. LOVE LOVE LOVE these! A little snail, a fern, a bird nest....all so pretty! My finished card is an A2 Woodgrain card base, layered with white and then inked all up in shades of Spring green and sky blue. I used the Curio II dies to make my card grid. Instead of using the frame from the Curio set, I used the other pieces to create my own grid! I wanted each item to have it's own little area.
The bird nest has three little eggs that fit inside!! The nest is two layered pieces. The leaves are separate and the eggs are separate so it's easy to die cut everything out!!
The butterfly is from the Summer Curio set! I chose to used just two main colors to make my card. I inked each small square with Distress inks, just at the top. I die cut everything from colored cardstock and then used Distress Inks and Copic Markers over the cardstock to add emphasis.
I glued on the big Spring word die! I added white and clear droplets to look like Spring morning dew.
And my final card for today features the brand new Botanicuts-Pussy Willows and the new Amen Dies! A big burst of yellow! I always love to craft with yellow in the Spring time! My finished card is an A2 kraft card base, layered with gingham and yellow cardstock. My big circle element and the Pussy Willows are cream cardstock. The Amen and Alleluia stamp set has smaller accompanying sentiments so my card says "can I get an...AMEN!"
Here's a close up of the beautiful Amen word die...I layered dark brown paper and vellum.... Love. I die cut the Fit to be Tied bow die in yellow and inked over it with Copics in a darker yellow shade.
Here's a close up of the Botanicuts-Pussy Willow dies. I used green, kraft and cream paper and then added accents with Copic Markers. These are such a great addition to the floral Botanicuts series!
Okay, friends, that's it for day two! I have thoroughly enjoyed showing you all the new goodies! I would LOVE to know what your favorite thing is?!! Remember the new release is live for sale tomorrow - Thursday March 17th at 10am EST!
