The Greetery - Sweet and Sunny New Release - Day 2!

I HAVE TWO BLOG POSTS TODAY! PLEASE BE SURE TO READ THEM BOTH! THANK YOU!

Hello creative and crafty friends! Welcome to Day Two of The Greetery Sweet and Sunny new release! Welcome - so glad to have you here today! Yesterday and today, the design team is sharing product reveals and projects made with all the new items from the Sweet and Sunny stamp/die/stencil release. All of the new products will be available for shopping tomorrow, Wednesday June 29th at 10am EST! Are you as excited as I am? Squeeee! I have three more cards to share with you today - so let's get started!

First up is a card featuring the brand new Botanicuts Hollyhocks Dies....swoooooooon. My finished card is a 5.25" x 5.25" square card made from white cardstock. I used layers of woodgrain paper, white, gingham, kraft and yellow to create a bright and happy feeling.

 

I googled "hollyhocks" to see some flower photos and I quickly discovered that Hollyhocks come in almost every color! I chose a pretty, bright, magenta pink.... I popped it with bits of yellow and yellowish green tones. It is so cheerful in person! This side view shows all my paper layers...

 

I die cut out the Hollyhocks dies from three shades of pink cardstock. I added accents with Copic Markers before gluing all the pieces together. You die set will come with a guide for putting them together - and it was very easy. Tip: I always cut out these kinds of dies from plain scratch paper and put them together first to feel comfortable with how it's all going to fit together. 

 

The sentiment is from the Opposites Attract set and I stamped it in brown ink - and die cut it from the matching die.

 

I added a pretty bow up in the corner because I felt like I wanted to add a darker color on the card. 

 

 

 

My second card for today features the brand new Jumbo Curiosity Die - Dragonfly! There is also a Jumbo Butterfly and a Jumbo Moth. These are amazing!! My finished card is an A2 white card base. My blue layer was made by ink blending Distress Inks to look like water in my Lotus garden....

 

 

There are some inspiration photos a bit farther down in my post... Basically I was inspired by a beautiful Lotus garden we have here in Sacramento! There are giant lily pads and pink lotus flowers...and tons of bright orange dragonflies! So I tried to create that feeling here. 

 

The Dragonfly Die comes with matching stencils which is very cool. It's hard to see in the photo, but the dragonflies were stenciled with three shades of orange. Then I coated them with glitter as if they're glistening in the sun...

 

Have you guessed which Greetery stamps and dies I used to make the lily pads and flowers??? The lily pads are the Botanicuts Geraniums dies and the flowers are from the Lemon Blossom set!

 

Everything was attached to the card with foam tape for dimension. I added some clear embellishments to mimic the water....

 

There are so many beautiful ways to color these dragonflies, and so many color combinations! I can't wait to explore this some more with more projects. I have some ideas already!

 

 

 

Here are my inspiration photos!! (If you want to see more pictures you can read my blog post about the Lotus Bloom from last year! Here's the link!)

 

 

 

 

 

My final card for the new release features the brand new Leaves All Around Dies and Stencils. It makes the most gorgeous simple green frame... I know I'm going to use this one a lot. (I also used it on my Honey Jar card from yesterday!). My finished card is an A2 white card base covered in gingham paper. I added a simple vellum layer, then that pretty new die....

 

Here is a close up of the image. Simple flowers and leaves - so good for many styles of cards.

 

I stamped the sentiment using Stazon black ink directly onto the vellum layer underneath. This card is very clean and simple and flat for mailing... Also great for mass production!! I added a few sweet pearls.

 

I added a few small accents to the leaves using Copic Markers. The die cut cut out the stenciled image perfectly!

 

 

Okay friends! That's it for all my projects for the new release! What do you think? What is your favorite item?? I have thoroughly enjoyed showing you all the new goodies!  Remember the new release is live for sale tomorrow - Wednesday, June 29th at 10am EST! I am so excited for you to create with these pretty supplies! I know they will bring you joy as they did me.

Taylored Expressions - Bee's Knees Card Kit Launch Day!

I HAVE TWO BLOG POSTS TODAY! BE SURE TO READ THEM BOTH! THANK YOU!

Hi friendddzzzzzz! I'm buzzin' by in this blog post with some cutie pie beeeezzzzz and an awesome new card kit from Taylored Expressions! The new Card Kit is called The Bee's Knees! And it totally is the bee's knees! The kit is live now for purchase, and if I was a bettin' woman, I would bet that this one will sell out. It's perfect for Summer projects and all kinds of sweet things! I have two cards to share with you - made with the kit! CLICK HERE to purchase your kit now! 

First up is a card covered in beeeees! I used the large background stamp/stencil combo to make a whole panel of bees onto kraft cardstock. My finished card is an A2 white card base, layered with blue and then kraft. I love kraft and yellow together!

 

The stamp/stencil combo is super easy to use. You stamp the black portion and then stencil the yellow and the wings. I used sponges and blender brushes. The wings were done with white pigment ink and I like how it looks on the kraft! It's hard to see, but there's also some glitter. Here's a close up of my layers.

 

I heat embossed the sentiment onto a black rectangle and layered that with vellum. I tied some twine around the top layer for a bit more interest and texture. I stamped/stenciled a second panel and used the bee die cuts to cut out some extra bees to pop up on the card. 

 

 

 

I splattered on some white paint and added a few clear droplets as my finishing touches.

 

 

 

My second card features the honeycomb dies from the kit and some of those chubby bees flying by! This finished card is an A2 kraft card base layered with some gingham from my stash and then white paper. I added a blue circle and glued on the yellow honeycombs. 

 

I stamped the sentiment and the bee trails in black ink directly onto the white panel.

 

 

 

 

 

I also stamped/stenciled another panel on white paper this time. I used light aqua ink for the wings. I wanted to show you what it looks like on white paper versus kraft paper. A completely different look!

 

The kit even comes with envelopes and the cutest envelope stickers!!

 

Here is the full kit contents! CLICK HERE to purchase!

 

That's it for this post! Thanks for buzzin' by to check out the new card kit!! XOXO

The Greetery - Sweet and Sunny New Release - Day 1!

I HAVE TWO BLOG POSTS TODAY! PLEASE BE SURE TO READ THEM BOTH! THANK YOU!

Hi friends! Are you ready for another beautiful new release from The Greetery!? I know I am! Yay! The new release is called Sweet and Sunny and it is just that - sweet and sunny! Beautiful florals, Summer insects, honey pots and more! It's delightful, beautiful and inspiring. Today and tomorrow the design team will share product reveals and projects to get your creativity flowing... Then the entire release is available for purchase on Wednesday, June 29th at 10am EST. In my cards for this release I used lots of bright colors...lots of yellow and pinks and greens. It was so much fun to create everything. I think you're gonna love this new release. Today I'm sharing three cards so let's get started!

My first card is a kraft A2 size card base, layered with gingham, vellum and white layers. Nothing says summer like light blue gingham and yellow! I used the brand new Honey Jar stamps and dies, the new Buzzwords stamps and dies and the new Leaves all Around stencils and dies... Lots of new new new here! 

 

All my ink pad colors are linked at the very bottom of my post. I think I found the perfect yellow combo for this adorable honey jar! The jar is stamped in three layers to get the perfect effect. The honey jar is the focus of the card and I placed it in the center of some pretty leaves. I added the honey stirrer and some bees buzzin around.

 

The new Buzzwords stamps and dies are so cute! Fun and witty sayings for honey and bees. Love. 

 

To make the jar topper, I die cut the piece from gingham (once) and white cardstock (twice) and layered the three pieces so it was nice and thick. I wrapped twine around it and added a sweet little blue heart. I matched the blue in the flowers too. So fresh!

 

I stamped some honeycombs up in the corner and splattered on some yellow and white inks. I added small bits of Diamond Stickles to the bee wings.

 

Here's a side view to see how I layered everything. This card was so fun to make! Use your MISTI to line up the honey jar stamps - so easy. 

 

Next up is my card featuring the gorgeous new Honeysuckle Stems Stamps and Dies! My finished card is an A2 white card base layered with orchid, vellum and white layers. I added yellow ink blending to the top white panel to offset that gorgeous orchid color palette!

 

I stamped and die cut all three of the Honeysuckle flowers that come in the set. The stamps are easy to line up - again with a MISTI. They are each slightly different and I put them all together and tied them with some twine and a bow. 

 

I used the Scripty Hello die in white paper and inked it in ombre to match the Honeysuckle flowers....

 

Here is a close up of my paper layers!

 

And a close up of the flowers.... I added some matching tiny hearts - well, because I love tiny hearts! LOL.

 

 

 

 

 

 

For this next card, I went with a completely different style of card! I went very vintage, shabby chic with it! This card features the brand new Honey Bee Die, the new Honeycomb Corners dies, and lots of other Greetery Favorites! My finished card is a cream A2 card base, horizontally oriented. I layered with black, text, cream, vellum and more cream cardstock! It has loads of layers! But the star is that gorgeous Honey Bee Queen!

 

 

 

 

I die cut the Honey Bee from black cardstock, yellow cardstock and vellum for the wings. I layered the bee together and splattered on some white paint. I also added a bit of darker yellow to her body using a Copic Marker. The sentiment is from the Curio words set. LOVE it for this use.

 

Here's a close up of the paper layers. The text cardstock is from a paper pad from Joann's. I die cut the Honeycomb Corners and placed a few around the bee. You know I love some splatters, and I used both black and white paint on this project.

 

I had this cool crown embellishment in my stash and I glued it on top of the bee. I used the Greetery Pretty Postmarks stamps to stamp text and post cancellations onto the layers. I used my Distresser tool to shabby chic the edges up a bit. Everything was giving some Antique Linen Distress Ink too - with a big sponge dauber. 

 

 

Okay, friends, that's it for DAY ONE of The Greetery Sweet and Sunny Release Week! I will have three more projects tomorrow! I am so happy to be sharing these products with you. The new release will be for sale Wednesday, June 29th at 10am EST!  Have a blessed day. XOXO

Pinkfresh Studio New Release Blog Hop - Fancy Roses!

I HAVE TWO BLOG POSTS TODAY! BE SURE TO READ THEM BOTH! THANK YOU!

Yay! So much going on!! This post is for the awesome Pinkfresh Studio June 2022 New Release!! It's a blog hop to celebrate the new release!! Just when you thought Pinkfresh Studio couldn't think of any more beautiful florals....they did! OH MY GOODNESS! I am over the moon about this new stamp/stencil/die set called Fancy Rose Bunch and I couldn't wait to share my card with you today! Full prizes information and the link to the rest of the hop are at the bottom of my post. Welcome! 

My finished card is an A2 woodgrain cardbase, layered with white, pink and a bit of vellum too! I used the gorgeous new Fancy Rose Bunch suite, the new Heart Smiles stamps and dies and the new Floral Backdrop Coverplate to make this perfect Summer fresh floral card. 

 

Here's a side view to see my layers... I started by stamping the large floral spray in black ink onto white cardstock using my MISTI for good coverage. I used pretty shades of pink, green and yellow to stencil in all the colors! (There are six stencils total in this set, and the results are remarkable, down to the perfect shading on each leaf)! It was super easy to color in this huge image. I used both sizes of my blender brushes (supplies are at the bottom of my post) I die cut out the floral spray using the perfectly matching die. 

I stamped the sentiment and die cut it out with the matching die as well. Such a nice sentiment-perfect for a lot of occasions. With a different sentiment, I think this would be a great wedding card idea!

 

 

For the pink background, I used the Floral Backdrop Coverplate! SO feminine and pretty. I wrapped a strip of vellum over my layers before attaching my florals with foal tape.

 

 

 

 

Here's a close up of the Coverplate... I added some shiny pink gemstones to finish off the card. 

Thank you so much for joining me today! Nice to have you here for a visit! XO

Pinkfresh Studio will be giving away the full release on the Pinkfresh blog & YouTube channel! They will also be giving away a total of TEN $25  gift cards along the hop.

Pretty Pink Posh - June New Release - You are DINO-Mite!!

Hi there! Nice to see ya today! Hope your first week of Summer is going great! We are in another 100+ heat wave all week so we are staying inside and crafting! Ha! We went to the Farmer's Market last weekend and the fridge is chock full of yummy summer fruits and veggies so we are all set! The one good thing about summer?? FALL is next! Lol. I'm not a summer person at all.... How about you?? What are you up to? Hope you are doing great!

Today I'm sharing my second card I made for the new Pretty Pink Posh release for June!! There is a big Instagram Hop going on this week and I'm in that hop today. Head over to Instagram to see all the cards and enter to win some prizes! So you remember last week I made a card with trucks??? Today I made a card with Dinosaurs! I channeled my inner child to make a super fun scene with these oh so adorable stamps!! 

My finished card is a 5.25" x 5.25" square kraft card base. I layered white circles, and some kraft hills, and the sentiment on a vellum strip...

 

How cute is that sentiment?? I stamped it in black Stazon ink onto vellum and added some brown hearts - you know - keeping it masculine but still cute! All I can think of is JJ Walker saying DINO-MITE and I am transported back to the 70's! My color palette was inspired by the 70's actually!

 

I stamped and die cut out all the pieces: trees, dinos, volcano... I colored everything with Copic Markers and added white gel pen accents for good measure. The leafy border was die cut from green paper and then inked with a sponge dauber and distress ink.

 

 

Here is a close up of the layers....

 

All the elements were affixed to the card using foam tape!! 

 

 

That's it for the fun for today!! Make sure to head to Instagram to check out the hop today!! The new release is perfect for all the 'boy' cards you need to make. Such a good addition of things to create with. PPP does it again!

Doodlebug - My Happy Place - Cards!

Hellllooooooo! Happy Monday! It's my turn over on the Doodlebug Blog today and of course sharing here too! Hope you had a wonderful weekend! We had perfect weather and we enjoyed dinner out one day and a great sermon at church. It's all good!! I am loving the newest collection from Doodlebug - My Happy Place Collection - and the infinite combinations of colors and themes!! I especially love that everything is grounded with graphic black and white... This collection really has something for everyone! I made two cards using lots of elements from My Happy Place....

Here are my bright, bold and fun cards! Both cards are sized A2 and have the same design sketch and card layout. I like this layout because I can feature three different papers on each card. I like to mix and match patterned papers! And Doodlebug makes it so easy!

 

I used elements and pieces from all the collection packs: Chit Chat, Odds and Ends... And I also used some black Mini Doilies and lots of Heart Sprinkles!

 

I love coffee and loved making this coffee-themed card! Black and pink accents of Sprinkles and Hearts make it perfect. I splattered on some black paint to make it look a little more artsy.

 

I gently crinkled the flowers and the word banner with my fingers before attaching them to the card. A little shabby chic never hurts! I added some hearts as the centers of the bike tires.

 

 

 

 

 

The sentiment on this card is one of the Stickers from the 12x12 My Happy Place Sticker sheet. LOVE!

 

I added a big pink heart to the front of the coffee pot....

 

 

Thank you for spending part of your day here with me! Are you making something fun lately? What are you working on? Summer is gonna go by fast I feel, so I'm trying to squeeze in all the projects! Have a great week and I'll see you soon! XOXO

New from Spellbinders - Flea Market Finds Collection!

Hi everyone! How are you? Things are good here in Sacramento and we've had the most perfect weather the past few days! We had a good weekend and we've been out in the front yard planting more flowers. Life is good and it's full on Summer now! I'm enjoying some iced coffee as I type this out. Lucky is passed out in a sunbeam on the floor.... I hope things are going great for you too. I have something very exciting and fun to share today. It's one of those posts that have tons of pictures (so grab some coffee or tea) and lots of information. My friend Cathe has her own brand new paper collection from Spellbinders! It's called Flea Market Finds!

I consider Cathe a friend, and she's part of our Northern California Crafty Girl Posse. She is so talented! I love everything she makes. I was really happy to be one of the first artists to work with her new paper crafting products! CLICK HERE to read a post from a while back when I visited her amazing studio.

The new collection is shabby-chic, vintage, retro, feminine, mixed media, stamping, goodness!! You know I love a good vintage inspired project!! The entire collection is available now for shopping. Also, further down in my post you'll see information about a current promotion that can save you money on your order! I have two cards and a rosette to share with you - all made with elements from Flea Market Finds! There are stamps, stencils, paper packs, sticker packs and printed die cuts. Everything is really nice quality and the colors are clear and vivid. It was a joy to work with everything. The collection launched this week - CLICK HERE to see the entire collection now. 

 

Here is the first card! It's an A2 cards base made from Woodgrain cardstock for a bit (more) of texture. I mixed and matched papers, die cuts, tags, ribbons, a key, and all that good stuff! The focal elements were the roses and the butterfly/moth. The roses were fussy cut from one of the patterned papers. Everything was splashed with lots of DIstress inks and paints... I'll talk more about the details further down in my post. 

 

And here is the second card I made! It's an A2 cream card base. I used some vintage music sheets from my stash, along with pretty elements from the new collection. Can you tell I really love the floral elements?? I have a big bin in my craft room with bits and bobs of vintage-y things for cards and I used some of those items for my projects. 

 

And here is my decorative rosette! You know I love a good rosette! I made the base using vintage music sheets. I cut the music into 1.5" strips and scored them with my Scor-pal at 1/4" increments.... The center of the rosette is one of the Flea Market Finds Stickers that I turned into a button using my fave tool - my Button Press! LOVE MY BUTTON PRESS!! I added a bit of ribbon and a little pink birdie. I stamped the banners onto flags made from cream cardstock.

 

SO MANY BEAUTIFUL STAMP SETS!!! I love the Circle Label Icons the best! I'm going to use them a ton!

 

For my 'friend' card I started with a background paper and inked it and distressed the edges. I used the green shutters and one of the new stamps - to stamp that pretty vine onto them. I fussy cut out the roses... I stamped onto the tag and the background layer. I used a generous amount of splashed on Vintage Photo Ink... I made some vellum leaves... And added the friend die cut.... You see...I just kept adding more pretty things!

 

Here is a close up so you can see all the layers and stamping!

 

For the 'ribbons' coming off the rosette, I gently crumpled them in my fingers to make them wrinkly... I love that 'vintage' word stamp. 

 

 

 

For this card I used a few different papers from the collection, and featured that pretty floral panel. I hand died some ribbon using Distress Inks and added a pretty glass button. I crinkled and crumbled everything and splashed it all with ink and water. 

 

I did some stamping in brown ink onto the bottom layer.

 

 

 

I used Staz-on ink and stamped on that pretty postmark on top of the flowers. I also really distressed the edges with my DIstressing Tool (see supplies). 

 

 

 

 

 

Right now Spellbinders is having a giant sale to celebrate their anniversary! Be sure to pop over to the website to see all the new things and to take advantage of the sale items and discounts!! There are so many pretty things - the new birthday collection is jaw dropping...

Thank you so much for hanging out with me today! I appreciate all of you, and your kindness and love! I hope I've inspired you to make something cool and vintage today. Take care! Love you! XOXO

Doodlebug My Happy Place - Circle Mini Album!

Hi everyone!! How are you this fine Monday?! I hope you had a delightful weekend! Did you get in some crafting time? Or maybe some time outside in the sun? We had a good weekend and it's hard to believe it's already Monday again! I have something really fun to share with you today! After a very long wait, there is a beautiful new collection from Doodlebug! Yay! It's called My Happy Place and I am obsessed with the color palette!! For my first project, I made something I hardly ever make - a mini album scrapbook!! Oh, what a super fun project and a joy to create! I had fun mixing and matching papers and all the adorable embellishments....I hope you like it! There are tons of pictures in this post. The project was super easy too - I hope you try it!

The front and back of my album were made with super thick cardstock and die cut with a Scalloped Circle Die. The inside pages are slightly smaller, and various sized circles decorated with papers and embellishments. For the cover, decoration, I used two of the 12x12 papers and then went to town with stickers and Sprinkles and shapes. These colors are so beautiful together!! I splashed on some white paint and added hearts too! You know I always add some hearts. Here is the link to the super thick cardstock - it's the best for album covers or nice thick tags and swatches! I use it a lot!

 

The "love grows here" embellishment is a cardstock sticker - so beautiful!! I added flowers, hearts, splatters...all the good things! Look at that pretty scalloped edge on those circles!

 

I used some ribbons from my stash to tie around the pink binder ring. It just adds some more color and texture.

 

 

 

Here's the first page! Washi tapes, and stickers, and chunky twine...oh my!

 

 

 

Here's the second page.... There's no place like home....and a kitty cat!

 

 

 

And the next page...A slightly smaller circle with stickers, flowers and gingham....

 

Next up, butterflies and flowers Pretty in PInk! (and black...) LOVE!

 

 

 

The next page is a patterned vellum circle...adorned with a pretty sticker and a mix/match of Sprinkles and Jewels!

 

And the next page....

 

And the last page, and inside back cover. I added some pretty pom pom trim!! 

 

 

 

And this is the very back! 

 

One of the brand new things in this collection is this gorgeous key ring!!! Oh GOSH! It's lovely! I hope Doodlebug makes more of these! You can clip it onto your handbag, or tote or even on your scrapbooking bag (or scrapbook!) 

 

 

Thanks friends, for spending part of your day here with me! I hope you will go out and create and have a fun week! See you soon! XOXOXO

TGIF - The Greetery Inspiration Friday - Garden Gloves!

Hi friends! Happy Friday! And it's definitely TGIF - which means The Greetery Inspiration Friday! I am sharing this card over on The Greetery Blog today and of course I had to post it here too! How are you my friends? How was your week? The first official week of Summer!! I had a very busy week but that's okay with me. I am enjoying being busy. Our weather has been perfection here and I'm so grateful it's not been super hot yet. We are celebrating 29 years together tomorrow for my husband and I (wow)! We met on a blind date! Yeah! Almost 30 years? Unbelievable! We will go out for a nice dinner to celebrate but that's about it. I am still very much longing for some time by the ocean but it hasn't happened yet. Gas here is about $6.50 a gallon and that has put the kabash on a lot of road trippin.

Anyhoooo I am happy to be here today sharing a garden theme card made from the latest The Greetery Release! I absolutely loved the Garden Variety Release! I couldn't resist making one more project with it! I thought maybe your goodies are arriving at your house too and you might like to see another card. My fav things from the release are the Daisy Days Suite and the Garden Gloves. I combined those two things into a pair of pretty gardening gloves. Mix in some gingham and twine..... My finished card is an A2 card base, layered with citrus green, white and woodgrain...

 

That new Scripty Hello Die is absolutely the best! It works on everything!!!

 

I started by stenciling the entire panel of the Daisy Days image. I used pretty summer shades of greens, yellows and blues.... On crisp white cardstock. Then I used the Garden Gloves Dies and die cut out the gloves. They cut out perfectly from the panel. EEP. I was so excited how they turned out.

 

I added my accent pieces in blue and added yellow hearts....And some white splatters....

 

 

Before I put the gloves on and assembled the final card, I wrapped some twine and tied a bow off to the side. The gloves are attached with foam tape.

 

 

 

Wouldn't this be the best card for that friend we all have who looooooves gardening??!! 

Thanks for popping in to spend some time with me today!! I am wishing you the happiest and loveliest weekend! I will see you on Monday with a super cute Doodlebug mini album!! XOXO
