Hey there!! Welcome back to Day Two of release week for The Greetery's new Calico Fields Release for Fall 2022! Yesterday and today, the design team is sharing all of our projects and revealing the products from the new release! And, release day is tomorrow, September 8th at 10am EST! Be sure to look at all the design team's cards from both days! Prize information, supplies and design team links are at the bottom of my post! I have three more cards to show you today showcasing all the new goodies! Are you as excited as I am?? Can't wait to show you more today!!
First up is this FALL card featuring the brand new Stencilscapes - Autumn, and the new Thankful Heart stamps and dies!! My finished card is a woodgrain A2 card base. Then the one layer of stenciling! You guys!! OH MY GOSH - these stencils are so cool!!! It's eight stencils to create this amazing countryside scene. I loved making this!! I've never seen anything like this!! You're going to love it too.
The stencils have an opening near the bottom for your sentiment. Genius. I used the Thankful Heart stamps with matching dies to place my sentiment perfectly in that open space. Betsy really does think of everything.
I mixed and matched all kinds of ink pads and used my small and large blender brushes. I love that small touch of blue in there along with all the warm tones. This card makes me happy.
Even when stenciling, I like to add some shading by going over the pieces with more ink, or a darker color ink. Gives it a bit more life I think.
My next card features the brand new Time For Gratitude stamps, stencils and dies. This new suite works perfectly with the previously released Hourglass dies. My finished card is an A2 white card base, layered with some pretty gingham. Then those dies and stamps are the star of the show. I used a vellum background in the hourglass also.
I decided to go with a pretty lilac and yellow color palette and I like how it came out!! So soft and pretty. In this photo you can see the amazing detail that you get with the matching die. I mean really...could it be more perfect??
I added pearls to my hourglass frame. The frame was die cut from woodgrain paper and the inside of the frame from purple paper.
There's always time for gratitude - indeed!!
And my final card for release week - features the brand new Rolling Hills stencils and dies, the brand new Countryside Dies, and the brand new Warm and Wonderful stamps and dies. Lots of new new new!! Again, another set of super innovative stencils and dies that work together. Here, you can create a rolling countryside of your own!! Use the dies and stencils, or just one or the other... Mix and match in houses and barns and trees... There is no limit!! My finished card is 5" x 5" square card made with cream cardstock and woodgrain cardstock...oh and lots of ink pads!!
I started by die cutting the entire die from cream cardstock. I used Distress inks to color in all the hills using yellows and different shades of greens. I splattered on some gold paint and set it aside to dry. I die cut out all the houses, barn, fences and trees from cream cardstock. I also used distress inks to color these elements.
For the sentiment I used the stamps from the Warm and Wonderful (coffee) set. I stamped onto an oval and inked the edges of the oval to antique it a bit. I added some enamel dots too....
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 - Thursday, September 8th 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. Happy Autumn indeed!! Happy Calico Fields!!

Ohhh, Wanda! Your cheery, bright coloring always makes me smile. These cards are so so lovely ~ and your shading over the stenciled images is fabulous!
Posted by: Helen F. | 09/07/2022 at 01:55 PM
I'm with you Wanda. I think there is so much innovation in this release. I think the Rolling Hills stencils potentially have a little more versatility but I don't think I'll be able to pass up the Stencilscapes: Autumn set. I love everything about that. Your cards are beautiful.
Posted by: see mary stamp | 09/07/2022 at 01:51 PM
I think your last card is my all time favorite of yours. Hmm, I think I say that a lot, lol. Your cards are always spectacular.
