Hello there my crafty friends! Today is the start of something big! Something we all look forward to all year! It's time to reveal The Greetery Holiday Collection for 2023! (It's also my wedding anniversary, so a lot to celebrate today!) I know that you know that I know (hahaha) that Betsy goes all out for the Christmas release every year and this year is spectacular! The new release is called the Recollective Holiday Collection! Stamps, Dies, Stencils, and 3d projects, all with a beautiful homespun holiday feeling. I think you're gonna love it! There are THREE reveal days this time around! The design team will be sharing our projects Today, Tomorrow, and Thursday and revealing all the new products for you. I have eight different projects to show you over the next few days. There will be tons of fun, photos, inspiration, prizes, and more! Let's grab a cup of cocoa and have some fun together! Welcome! As always, my full supply list is at the bottom of this post, and I'll update it once the new items are available!
THE NEW RELEASE DAY IS FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6TH AT 10AM EST!
My first card for today features the brand new Big Beautiful Bow Die, along with the new Juniper Dies, and the sentiment from the brand new Wrapped In Love stamp set!! I also used previous products - Ruscus and Pine Wisp! I created a present on a card! My finished card is an A2 card base made from cream cardstock, and then covered in small gingham. That gorgeous bow is the star of the card....
This new sentiment set is awesome! Mix and match different sentiments/fonts with a gift theme! Love it! I used brown ink to stamp my sentiments since this card has a vintage feeling to it. The top layer is cream and then I used shades of green and vivid red.... I splattered my card with gold watercolor ink too.
I mixed in some vellum and two green tones for interest. I also added some snow to make it feel more vintage and wintery! This bow is easy to assemble of course - Betsy thought of everything - and the dies line up easily to create this pretty bow.
I used a dark red/mahogany Copic Marker and inked parts of the bow to look like a shadow/shading...
My second card for today's festivities features the brand new Wrapped In Love suite of stamps and dies!! This is so cute, fun and clever!! A whole line of products set around gift wrapping!! My finished card is a kraft A2 card base. I layered the Nordic dies as my top layer and put red underneath to show through.
Cute scissors, tape, tags, twine....everything you need for gift wrapping!!! And more beautiful, thoughtful, sentiments. Here's a side view of my layers...
I used kraft, white, red, and green for a very classic Christmas palette. The dies are matched up to look like a roll of wrapping paper!! And those tiny tags!! I used a tiny bit of vellum for my 'tape' dispenser! The scissors were die cut with both gold and silver cardstock.
I mean, seriously, can you stand this??!!! It's so great!!
My final card for today features the brand new Winterland Layers stamps and dies and the brand new Comfort and Joy stamps and dies.... My finished card is an A2 card base layered with cream, kraft, and red.... The Winterland layers are pretty foliage meant for the holidays. The Comfort and Joy stamp set has caring messages for people who might be having a difficult holiday season (SO thoughtful and wonderful)....
I kept this card clean and simple by layering the Nordic Dies and inking the edges for a soft look.
I'm always so very happy for a new release!! Especially a holiday release! That's it for day one of the new release reveals! Be sure to come back tomorrow and Thursday and I will be sharing five more cards and projects featuring the new items! What's your favorite thing so far? The new release will be for sale on Friday, October 6th at 10am EST! See you tomorrow with more projects! XOXO

All 3 cards are just beautiful! The snow and gold spatter on the bow, the red peeking through the Nordic cutouts on the wrap, and the simple yet lovely design on the Hope, Peace, Prayers card just add so much. "Oh we need a little Christmas now!"
