Hi everybody! Something exciting is happening this week! It's New Release week at The Greetery! Yippeeeee! The new release is called A Song of Christmas and it's gorgeous! As you would guess, it's the holiday 2022 release and it's chock full of holiday, winter, Christmas goodies for you to create with. The release is HUGE and so we're having three days of product/project reveals for you! Today, Tomorrow and Thursday we will be sharing projects! The new release goes live for shopping on Friday, October 7th at 10am EST. Each day of release week has a different Christmas song as the theme - how fun is that? Today's theme is Heaven and Nature Sing! Let's get started, because I have three cards to show you!
My first card features the brand new Heaven and Nature Sing stamps, dies and stencils!! This suite is so super lovely! This music themed set is genius - and so classy and classic. The stamps line up and you can use different colors for the words and the swirls... Although this is a pretty Christmas set, I feel like you could use the music note dies and stencils to make cards for the music lovers in your life - a music teacher or leader, a worship leader.... So versatile! My finished card is an A2 cream card base, covered in vintage music paper, then layered with some more vintage vibes!
I used a classic color scheme of red and green for this card. I used a few shades of greens for nice tone on tone action!! I inked everything with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.... Here's a close up - you can see the layers - the dies, the stamps, the stencils - that all work together to perfection. I splashed on lots of gold paint too.
I added a couple of gold glitter paper snowflakes for some more vintage goodness. I added red enamel dots....
I stamped a few snowflakes onto the cream background layer.
The stamp set has two gorgeous musical sentiments. I have always loved the Christmas song Joy To The World!
My next card features the brand new Peaceful Olive stamps, dies, stencil combo. My finished card is an A2 purple card base. I used cream cardstock as my base layer and wrapped the card with vellum for a classy look. I used several shades of green and purple Distress Inks to stencil the leaves (colors are listed in the supply list at the bottom of my post).
Here is a close up of the beautiful images!!! These are stenciled and stamped both. The suite of products also has a die that cuts out the entire panel, and a separate die that cuts out one branch and the peace word. After I stenciled it, I just really liked it as a one layer card. This would be a great card to mass produce, and it's flat for mailing!
To make the sentiment I die cut the peace word dies out three times with gold glitter cardstock. I glued the three layers together to make a little stack for a bit of dimension.
I really am smitten with this - it's so pretty!!
My third card for today features the brand new Peaceful Doves stamps and dies.... LOVE this theme for Christmas!!! My finished card is an A2 white card base, layered with a second layer of white cardstock. I used the Cathedral Die and the Amen Die to showcase those pretty peaceful doves. I also used the brand new Pine and Berry Stamp/Dies on this card for the greenery parts.
The Peaceful Doves set has several shapes and sizes of doves and branches. Then you add accents with stamps. I used a light gray ink on my doves, then covered the inked part with Diamond Stickles.
I used the 'rays' from the Firefly Nights stamp set in yellow behind my cathedral window. I used Bristol cardstock and blended Patina Oxide Ink to look like the sky behind the window.
For the sentiment I die cut silver glitter paper and vellum with the Amen Die..... ACK - so pretty!!
Okay friends! That's it for today! And it's only DAY ONE! What do you think so far? It's really nice to share with you! I think you are just going to love this new release as much as I do! Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow! XOXO
Remember the new release is live for sale on Friday October 7th 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.

Wanda your designs are what started my obsession with The Greetery a few years ago and the beautiful cards created for this new release keep it going. They are all beautiful but the first one is definitely my favorite!
Posted by: Kathleen Budd | 10/05/2022 at 04:42 AM
Beautiful cards Wanda, I never thought about using the purple color palette for the olives!
Posted by: Tracy S. | 10/05/2022 at 04:23 AM
I think Betsy’s aim with this release is Beauty with Joy and Peace. And she had achieved it! I love it!

Absolutely beautiful cards Wanda
Posted by: Susan Beauchaine | 10/04/2022 at 07:47 PM
All your cards are so lovely!! I can hardly decide which one I like better. It has to be a tie between the one with the treble clef (which reminds me of a card from the 50's) and the one with the cathedral window and the doves. That was brilliant to put those together!! Such a lovely release!!!
Posted by: Kati Caprara | 10/04/2022 at 07:42 PM
Love the second card color scheme!
Posted by: Charmaine | 10/04/2022 at 07:41 PM
Every single card is a beauty.
Posted by: Danny | 10/04/2022 at 07:11 PM
Those doves are so pretty on the cathedral window.
Posted by: Kim Burckhard | 10/04/2022 at 06:56 PM
These are so beautiful Wanda! I love how elegant these products are for the holidays.
