Happy Valentines Duo

 

Hello, and Happy February, the month for all things LOVE!

Before my hubs and I left for a vacation/visit of our oldest daughter, I ordered The Greetery's

newest release, featuring all things Valentine, called, 'Confections.' Betsy also included a new 

Botanicuts... Strawberries.

I finally got to play with my new order, and created a couple of valentine cards.

The dies have it with these 2 cards. So much fun to assemble, and layer!

With the look of a box of chocolates, and a few dipped strawberries, it's all sweets and

treats for the recipient of these cards. 

The new sentiments dies are Happy on steroids! All different fonts which I doubled die-ed. 

Hope you're doing well. I know it's been a rough couple of months starting this new

year. 3 of my grands and their mom and dad all had covid right after Christmas. 

Thank God, all came through, and all's well now.

Take good care!

The Greetery's Winterberry set

 

Merry Christmas friends!

I'm sharing a set of cards made with The Greetery's Winterberry set, my favorite from

this year!

Very traditional colors on my card, with vintage vibes. Being a lover of all things colorful,

 I kept theberries bright and vibrant. The pink and aqua blue remind me of the 30's 

retro kitchens. I love the sweet happy vibes from all things retro!

I made a total of 5 cards with this design, keeping the layout the same, and changing 

the sentiments from The Greetery's Opposites Attract.

I also made matching envelopes for my cards, using the largest single berry for the

front of the envelope.

Just set your stamps in the Misti and stamp each envelope in the same position.

Such a fun card to make over and over! 

Time to address envelopes. Do you set a day in December to get your cards out?

My day is the 10th. We'll see if that holds true this year. Have a few sets that I just got

calling me, in their packaging, staring at me on my worktable...

Have a wonder filled holiday!

It's a Time of Joy

 

I had some time to play with more of my Greetery order this weekend, and worked with

the Abundant Joy Hot Foil, and it's coordinating die. 

The color possibilities are endless, with so many foil colors, and cardstock too.

My Christmas card has the new Curio Attic Ornaments, which are dies, so you can cut 

them from any paper, glittered or solid.

The ornaments were first cut from a glitter paper, and then sponged with Oxide ink. I was

pleasantly surprised to see how well the cardstock stayed glittery even with the application

of ink.

I loved how Betsy tucked a pine bough in the corner of one of her cards, and played with

that idea on my card.

The scrip from Opposites Attract was stamped, die cut, and then I added a gold pen 

detail on the top edge. (Really wish I hadn't, but it's there, so...)

I did 6 of the hot foil 'JOY' dies, so I'm going to be busy doing some more cards. 

Not complaining... it's what I love!
