Welcome back to day two of the new Recollective Holiday Collection for The Greetery! Thanks again for joining me today! The new winter collection continues today with the design team featuring more new products! (And we'll have even more tomorrow too!) I hope you've been enjoying the release so far. Thank you for all the love and nice comments. This is such a fun time of year to share with all of you!! I hope you're in the mood today for some bright and sparkly projects! Yesterday's projects were classically Christmas and today's projects are fun, retro, colorful Christmas!! A little something for every style and even more gorgeous new stamps and dies.... Hope you're having a good day so far. Let's get started!!
THE NEW RELEASE DAY IS FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6TH AT 10AM EST!
My first card for today features the brand new Bright and Bubbly stamps, sentiments and dies! Everyone remembers those cool ornaments from the 60's...well Betsy brought them back to life for us to craft with! My finished card is a white A2 card base layered with aqua, vellum, and more white... All to serve as a background for those bright colorful ornaments. My sentiment is sparkly silver and the whole card makes me smile!
Here's a side view of my card and die cut layers.... I used the new Juniper Dies as my 'tree' part of the card. All the die cut pieces were generously splattered with silver metallic watercolor ink.
I shaded each ornament with Copic Markers and I also used some Stickles for the candle portion. I added clear gemstones to look like the old liquid ornaments. This card has a lot of details and I love it all!
The sentiment was heat embossing with very sparkly silver embossing powder!
My second card for today's reveals features the brand new Christmas Sampler stencils and stamps!! It's homespun, warm, cozy Christmas! My finished card is an A2 card base covered in black woodgrain... This card is all about those stencils!! A perfectly put together set of stencils to easily make this pretty background. The sentiment was stamped on last and the stamp set has several options that fit into those spaces.
After I was done stenciling, I added white paint splatters as 'snow' to the card. Just felt right!
I rounded the corners and added a gem there at the top...
I am excited to see the color combinations everyone else came up with for this stencil set! The possibilities are endless!
Last up for today is another cheerful card with a festive plaid! This card features the brand new Plaid Tidings Suite of stamps, stencils, and dies. I mean, c'mon! Plaid words?? YES!!! My finished card is an A2 white card base layered again with aqua and white. I used the 'glow' stamp from the Bright and Bubbly set to make some details in the background.
The stencils are so easy to do!! Pick your colors and make it festive! I stenciled and then die cut out the words using the matching die. I added the rounded sentiment from the accompanying/matching stamps. Simple and pretty.
These two step holly sprigs are also part of this set and I tucked some in there for good measure.
The big words are attached to the card using foam tape and then I added a few blue pearls...
Alright my friends, that's it for day two! But, guess what? Tomorrow is day THREE! More projects and more products for you to see! Cannot wait to see you again tomorrow morning!! Isn't this fun?!

I just LOVE the bubble lights card! I have a large box of Christmas stamps and dies, and I tell myself I have enough. But I don't have bubble lights, so those are definitely on my shopping list. I've loved them since I was a kid, and I have some originals from a yard sale. Wonderful new product!
