The Greetery - Garden Party Collection - Day One! Let's Have Tea!

Hello, my creative, talented and crafty friends! It's a gooooood day today! It's time for a fun, happy, awesome, pretty, and amazing new release from The Greetery! The new release is just in time for Summer and it's VERY pretty!! The release is called Garden Party! Think tea parties, flowers, lemonade, pretty backgrounds, and more! You're gonna love it. It's fresh and bright and you know me, I used LOTS of color!! The design team will be sharing products and projects today and tomorrow and then the new release will be available for shopping on Friday, June 14th at 10am EST! Just two more days to wait. I had a really fun time with this release - it's right up my alley! I'm excited to share it with you.

SHOP THE NEW RELEASE FRIDAY, JUNE 14TH, AT 10AM EST!

I will be sharing three cards today, and four more cards tomorrow. The cards for today all have a tea party theme - tea pots, and tea cups and pretty fine china too! Great for birthdays and invitations and encouragement cards. My cards have lots of gingham, well, because it's me! Loads of beautiful inspiration from the entire design team for the next two days. My supplies, prize information, and links to everyone's blogs are all at the bottom of this post. Let's get started!

My first card today features the brand new Pours Tea Dies, and the brand new Brew-tea-ful Stamps and Dies! The sentiments are SO cute! I also used some of my favorite Greetery supplies with the new items. The center of my tea pot features the gorgeous Botanicuts Strawberries dies.... Shades of pink and red - so feminine!! My finished card is an A2 white card base, layered with gingham and then accented with white and kraft.

 

Here's a close up of all my layers and elements. I used the Cozy Coaster to make a little tablecloth for my tea pot.... I die cut out all the pieces and inked the edges of everything using Distress Inks and blending brushes. I used a bit of gold just on the lid of the pot. These dies have scrumptious pierced dot details. Love it so much.

 

The sentiments have matching dies - looks so professional and polished!! I added a few little hearts for good measure....

 

Those pretty little strawberries were attached to the tea pot with foam squares.

 

My second card features LOTS of new products! The new items are the Sips Tea Dies and Stencils, the Brew-tea-ful Stamps and Dies, and the Flourished Frame Die!! Everything works together so nicely. This card was Bridgerton inspired!! Pretty pastels and touches of gold!! My finished card is a cream A2 card base layered with the new frame (in gold) and then the focus elements of the tea cup and floral spray. 

 

This gorgeous flower spray can fit into either the tea cup or the tea pot - genius! It's multi step stamping and it comes out like a dream. The tea cup has matching stencils so I stenciled a darker shade of aqua. I used a gold leafing pen to add gold accents onto the cup.

 

I stamped the sentiment onto a strip of vellum using Stazon in and wrapped it around the card. In the background, I stamped words and added paint splatters. Just look at that tiny tea bag tag!!!! SO sweet.

 

 

Here's a close up of all the detail on the gorgeous new frame die.....

My third card today features the brand new Fine China stamps, dies and hot foil plates! Reeeeeallly elegant and classy and so very pretty! Gorgeous layers of dies and hot foil and then petite floral elements. I used shades of blues with gold for my finished plate. My finished card is a white A2 card base layered with blue cardstock, vellum and then a Greetery Arch. The star of the show is the fine china for sure.

 

This close up shows all my paper layers....so scrumptious! I ink blended just the top portion of my arch to ground the white of the plate. The foiling comes out PERFECTLY. I used a gold pen to add small accents to the blue floral spray.

 

The included sentiments in the stamp set are classy!!!!!

 

 

That's all for today, but I'll be back tomorrow with the rest of the new release! Thank you for your support and kind comments - and for sharing my enthusiasm for The Greetery. We all love The Greetery! Have a blessed and happy day! See you tomorrow bright and early! XOXO
