The Greetery - Garden Variety Release - Day 2!

Hi friends! Welcome to Day Two of ideas, projects and product reveals for the gorgeous new "Garden Variety" release from The Greetery! The anniversary celebrations are continuing! What did you think of yesterday?? Do you have a favorite item yet? I love this release!! The only word I keep thinking is FRESH! Guess what?  I have three more 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 May 26th at 10am EST! Start making your list now! And there will be a big surprise when the new release goes live - so set your alarm for early shopping!! Yay!!

My first card for today features the brand new Garden Gear - Gloves suite of products! Pretty, perfect gardening gloves! LOVE! (Maybe my favorite thing from the new release). My finished card is an A2 card base layered with kraft and white and gingham... 

 

The gloves are a set of dies that has two gloves, two little tabs with the hearts and two longer little tabs for the top of the gloves. The stencils set makes a beautiful floral pattern in the right size and scale! In this photo you can see a close up of all the die pieces and my layers. I used the stencils, and stenciled white, pink and green inks onto kraft paper. Then I die cut out the gloves and the accompanying pieces. 

 

I used the Market Fresh words to make my sentiment. I added some twine and buttons to the gloves also. If you look closely you can see I added accents to the stenciling with Copics. I used the same ink pads as for my projects yesterday! (Supplies are listed at the bottom of my post).

 

 

 

As a finishing touch, I die cut a pretty butterfly from the Summer Curio die set. 

 

We all have that one friend or family member who loves to garden! The possibilities of fun cards is endless!!

 

My next card is a floral explosion!!! I think you're going to love these new dies and stamps!!! I am featuring the new Posy Pocket Dies with the new Seed Catalog Stamp on it, and the new Botanicuts Bluebells! I mixed in the previously released Wildflower Mix Dies and the new Plucked Dies. Oh gosh!! The perfect bouquet! And, of course, because Betsy is a genius, there are TWO sizes of Pocket Posy Dies! I used the large one on this card. My finished card is an A2 card base. Layered with cream and vellum, and lots of vintagey watercolory goodness!

 

Here is a close up of my bouquet. All kinds of flowers! The Bluebells are brand new with this release!! I die cut everything from cream cardstock and water colored with my Mini Distress ink pads and a water brush. Super easy.

 

And a close up of the Posy Pocket!!!! I stamped it in brown ink onto cream cardstock using the new Seed Catalog Background Stamp. The way Betsy designed the Posy Pocket, if you stamp a large image, it will remain in the right orientation after you put it together. I'm sure Betsy will do a video of this - it's so well designed and simple to put together.

 

My sentiment is a tiny little banner up in the corner with a heart... The layer on top is cream cardstock. I wrinkled it in my hands gently and then splashed on some Vintage Photo Distress Ink and water. I also used a distressed tool to make the edges frayed. (Supplies are listed at the bottom of my post) and made it look old and worn...

 

 

 

It was easy to tuck my flowers inside the wrap and attach the whole piece to my card. 

 

 

 

My third and final card for the new release features the new Garden Gear - Tools dies and stencils/stamps!! CUTE gardening tools?? Are you kidding??? Such a great idea!! My finished card is an A2 white card base. I layered some gingham and some pretty scallops too.... The sentiments are so adorable - I dig you!!

 

Here is a close up of the layers I used for the handles. I die cut the entire spade out of white cardstock and then layered another set of each part on top. I die cut silver, white, woodgrain and teal cardstock and glued the pieces onto the main piece. The top was made using the stencils and stamps that match up so perfectly!!! I used the SSS ink pads for my pretty colors....

 

For my sentiment I did cut a circle and stamped some flowers and the sentiment onto it! EEP. I assembled some white cardstock, teal, and gingham along with a row of scallops to create my card layout. This card is so happy and cheerful!

 

I used one of the small accent stamps to add little bits of color all over the white layer!
