The Greetery - Fireside Collection New Release - Day One!

Hello, my creative, talented and crafty friends! It's a gooooood day today! It's time for a warm, wonderful, classy and  amazing new release from The Greetery! The new release is just in time for us to to get ready for the holidays! I look forward to Betsy's holiday vision every year, don't you!?  It's very beautiful with all the classic themes of the holidays - Ribbons and bows, and greenery, and Christmas cards...and even a cozy fireplace! It's very lovely! I think you're going to love it! 

The new release is called Fireside Collection! I used mostly traditional colors of Christmas and lots of gold accents.  The design team will be sharing products and projects today and tomorrow and then the new release will be available for shopping on Wednesday, October 2nd, at 10am EST! Just two more days to wait. I had a really fun time with this release - as always though!!  I'm excited to share it with you.

SHOP THE NEW RELEASE WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2ND, AT 10AM EST!

I will be sharing three cards today, and four cards and projects tomorrow! The cards for today all have a theme of cozy Christmas... 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! YEAH! Are you ready for Christmas?!

My first card today features the brand new Fireside Dies and the brand new Warm and Cozy Stamps AND the brand new Hung with Care dies! Lots of NEW on this card! My finished card is a horizontal A2 card base, layered with pretty red patterned paper (inspired to look like wallpaper)... All those pretty dies are the star of the show! I created a warm living room scene with a fireplace and a big beautiful Christmas tree. The mantle is all decorated for Christmas Eve with stockings hung and greenery. I even added a couple of deer decorations! My home decor for this card is classic and clean - white and grey... The floor is made using the Herringbone Die and the tree was made using the Frosty Pines Dies. I have fun mixing and matching new and old Greetery supplies to create the perfect scene. I really enjoy this type of crafting cards!

My second card for today features the brand new Have A Spine Book Dies, the brand new Bookish Holiday Frames and the brand new Christmas Story! These dies all work together to make beautiful books! Genius! My inspiration for my book came from a church hymnal! I used the previously released Heaven and Nature Sing suite of products to decoration the cover of my book/hymn book! I used pretty blue and kraft, with touches of gold to create the look. The background under the arch is a new stamp/die combo that is meant for this book! I used clear embossing ink on kraft paper to create this tone on tone look. Isn't it cool that the sentiments fit perfectly along the spine of the book? Betsy thought of everything. My finished card is an A2 card base, layered with kraft and rich blue cardstocks. My design elements include gold paint splatter and bright blue pearls.

My third card for today features the brand new Winter Crest stamps, dies and stencils. A new addition to the Crest series - it's so lovely! My finished card is a cream A2 card base layered with green and striped papers... Arches in cream and vellum serve as a backdrop for the pretty crest and greenery.... I ink blended the top of the crest and added splatters... I finished with pearls, twine and a perfect gold star. This card is clean and simple - and relatively flat for mailing. A good one for mass production too!

Falloween projects with Honey Bee Stamps!

Happy Friday! It's been a fun and crafty week! LOTS to share this week! YEAH! Love it all! So many good new releases to play with and share! Wishing you a great weekend ahead. Sunday is the first day of Fall! So happy! Do you have fun weekend plans? I think we're going to try and go see Beetlejuice movie! But not much else going on this weekend. I have lots of work to get done. Sending some Fall good vibes your way!! Today's post features the brand new Falloween Release from our friends at Honey Bee Stamps. It's a combination release of Fall and Halloween. Gosh, so many great new products to love! I made two cards to show you today - let's get started!

First up is this Halloween card featuring the brand new Scaredy Cat Dies! OMG a cat! So dang cute and fun! I gave him green eyes like my Lucky!! Some adorable bats and a cute spider LOL! I absolutely had the best time making this card!! It's a slightly larger card this time - about 5" x 6" to make more room for that big sentiment up top. For my card, I layered orange gingham and an ink blended panel... I die cut and shaded all the elements and added white gel pen accents. I used Copic markers to shade the smaller pieces. I created a pumpkin patch scene for my kitty cat....

Since all the pieces of the cat are black - I used a small sponge dauber and white ink to add just a hint of an outline around each piece. This makes it all pop!! I layered two pieces of each part to make it a bit thicker.

Next up is this sweet sweet scarecrow just ready for pumpkin picking! He's outstanding in his field! LOLZ! This card has a LOT of pieces but it was really fun to mix and match fall colors and patterns for my fall scene. I used loads of Honey Bee dies for this one. I'm featuring the brand new Scarecrow dies but there are lots of older favorites too!! My finished card is an A2 card base, layered with kraft and then ink blending to look like an Autumn sky.... I put him into a farm cart full of gourds and pumpkins.... Also I added a sweet leaf banner for him to hold.... The scarecrow and his plaid shirt finish the look so nicely!

Halloween Fun with Photoplay Paper!

Hi everyone! It's officially going to be FALL this week! And I am here for it! I hope you had a great weekend and hope you're doing well! I am SO EXCITED about Fall and Halloween crafting! We had a great weekend - we went to a Fall Vintage Show at one of our favorite places and we went for a mini road trip to some crafting places, and out for coffee and church, and the weather has been amazing! I started a HUGE cross stitch project this week (my biggest one ever) and it's a Halloween Sampler. I will definitely not finish in time for this Halloween, but maybe next year's Halloween! It's so cool. Once I get some done, I'll share it with you! 

I saw this quote the other day from the artist Georgia O'Keeffe: “I have done nothing all summer but wait for myself to be myself again.” And this is me totally! I am renewed by the Autumn breezes and the changing light.... 

Today I'm sharing four fun projects I made with the new Halloween collections from Photoplay Paper! Their Halloween stuff is awesome! And everything is such nice quality and easy to work with. Three of my projects today have a vintage theme and one is pastel Halloween (Love this trend)... I have a list a mile long of all the things I want to make in the next six weeks or so. Better get bizzzyyyyyyy.

First up today is a circular card! I always forget how fun it is to create a circle card! I used all papers from Photoplay and mixed and matched papers, stickers, gems and a bit of ribbon from my stash. I die cut the card base from black shimmer paper, then layered polka dots in black and white and orange. Everything is splashed with dark silver ink. I added gems and an epoxy shape too. Bits of glitter glue on each piece add the right amount of sparkle. The card opens at the top and there's plenty of room inside for a message. The collection is called Creepin' It Real! Traditional colors and themes for spooky season!

Next up is a cool witchy poo card! This card is an A2 card base layered with black shimmer paper and orange spider web papers... Then I used ephemera and stickers from the collection, and gems and glitter.....and more papers! It's kind of a mixed media piece! I made the broom myself with a stick from our front bushes! I'll talk more about that in a minute...

Here's a close up of my handmade broom! EEK. So fun to make!! I got a small twig from our front yard.... I cut a strip of the plaid patterned paper about two inches wide. I used scissors to cut into the paper strip about three quarters of the way up. Then I glued the strip onto the twig by carefully wrapping it tightly around the twig. I glued the entire way to keep it nice and tight/compact. After it was dry, I spread the 'bristles' out with my fingers. I wrapped the top with twine and a bow and a gem. And then I added a little bit of glitter glue to it! LOVE this part of my project!

Next up is a little half medallion/rosette decoration! Instead of making a large round rosette, I just made a half one! I added circles to the top and then decorated with stickers and ephemera.... And another epoxy shape.... Aren't those ghosties sill in their florals? So fun!! The whole thing is splashed with gold paint for good measure. Love that bat paper!!

And lastly for today - another cute little ghostie! I again used new stamps and dies and stickers from Photoplay Paper!! I love the trend of using pink in Halloween cards so I used pink and peach here. Clean and simple design with a bit of gingham and lots of white space. Super fun and easy!!

The Greetery - Flourished Thanks-giving Card!

Hi there my creative and crafty friends! Happy Friday! It is FINALLY starting to feel a bit like Fall here in Sacramento! It's my turn up on The Greetery Blog today to share a project with you! And of course I'm sharing here too! I am always so excited and happy to share with you. As you are well aware (LOL) I absolutely love Autumn.... So for my project today, I am continuing the Fall theme from last month's Greetery release, with warm colors and touches of gold. My card features the brand new Flourished Phrases - Thanks - stamps/stencils/dies. And also some of my previously released favorites! I'm getting a jump on Thanksgiving cards!
 
My finished card is a cream A2 card base. I started by stenciling the Airmail Border in yellow and brown inks to make the base layer for my card. Next I die cut a cream postal panel - keeping it clean and elegant. I stenciled the Flourished Phrases "Thanks" word in orange, brown and yellow - because those colors say Thanksgiving to me. I splattered on some gold paint too! I die cut the Thanks out with the matching Flourished Phrases Thanks die. I die cut a second piece using gold cardstock and layered them for just a touch of a gold shadow. 
 
Next I die cut some pumpkins and corn stalks using the Autumn Harvest Dies. I gently inked the edges of those pieces to add a bit of contrast. I stamped Happy and Giving around the Thanks word to spell out Happy Thanksgiving! It's perfect! I assembled the card using foam tape to add layers and depth. I finished by adding just a few dark orange gems. It's all really warm and cheerful!

My card for today features the brand new Apple Shaker Dies and the brand new Fall Icons and Fall Foliage stamps and dies. September to me says "apple picking" and "apple donuts" LOLZ. How do you like them apples? Well, I like them very much! My finished card is a white A2 card base. Layered with classic red and classic gingham.... The kraft layer was die cut with the gorgeous Leafy Vines die. (love)  I used the Apple Shaker Dies - but not as a shaker! I heat embossed that pretty new sentiment right on the front of the apple... It's SO cute. I stamped, colored and die cut out the little apple from the Fall Icons set and used that as an accent. A bit of twine and some paint splatters make it complete.
