__________________________________

This spring release is amazing! The Greetery always has the most beautiful stamps and stencils and I love how I can use these details images to create Clean and Simple Cards.

This first card was super quick and easy to make. Here are my supplies:

Silly Goose Die Set

Silly Goose Stamp Set

I die cut and paper pieced this adorable little silly goose and added him to a striped card front. I gave him the balloon and a fun sentiment from the Silly Goose Stamp Set.

__________________________________

This month, there are a new group of dies called Bigger Botanicals. There are 8 new die sets to add the most beautiful paper blooms to your projects!

Bigger Bontanicals: Soapwort Dies

Golden Egg Die

Simple Spring Sentiments Stamp Set

S hortbread Shapes: Rectangle Labels Die

For this clean and simple card, I added a cream color card front to a white card base after using the scalloped die from the new Golden Egg Set. I die cut and layered up the Soapwort dies and then added it to the frame. The sentiment finished off the card!

__________________________________

One last card today using the new Golden Egg products.

Golden Egg Stencil

Golden Egg Die

Bunny Kisses Die

Shortbread Shapes: Scalloped Hearts Die - BOW

Tangled Tulips Stamp and Stencil Set -SENTIMENT

Tangled Tulips Die Set - BANNER DIE

Aida Cloth Texture Plate

To create this card, I stenciled that adorable egg on pink cardstock with some gold ink. I die cut the egg and the center to create the egg frame. I did a little background embossing with the Aida Cloth Texture Plate on the white card base and then layered the egg and the blue tinted panel behind it. I added that cute patoote little bunny from Bunny Kisses Die and then added in the sentiment from Shortbread Shapes: Scalloped Hearts Die.

A little info about commenting here on my blog....

My comments are moderated because I get a ton of spam. The kind of spam that tells me about cholesterol medication, among others, and just weird bot comments so I filter those out. If you leave a comment and don't see it, thats ok! I will see it and I will get it posted for you.

The other issue is wether or not you need a google account. I have my comments set to "anyone" so technically you should be able to leave a comment with any type of login, but Blogger is a pain. If you can't leave a comment and are not sure if you your name is posting along with your comment, please add your name and email address to the end of your comment. This way we can see who you are if your comment gets chosen as a winner! I am sorry for the annoyance. I have no idea why it doesn't work like it should. I have googled and switched settings around and tried all the things but again...

Blogger is a pain.

The Greetery - Spring Jardin Collection - Day 1

2026-03-12T06:00:00.014-05:00

The Greetery's newest Collection, Spring Jardin, will be available Monday, March 15th at 10am EST over at TheGreetery.com. Click HERE to see the full collection!

__________________________________

I have 3 cards to share today so lets get started! First let me share a new favorite, Tangled Tulips Stamp and Stencil set.

To create this card I used:

Tangled Tulips Stamp and Stencil Set

Tangled Tulips Detail Die

Capsule Basics Die Set

Opposites Attract Stamp Set

Opposites Attract Script Die Set

This Stamp and Stencil combo is so gorgeous and has a couple extras to make it even better! Of course, it pairs with The Capsule Basics Die set, but also comes with a Tangled Tulips Die Set and the Tangled Tulips Embossing Folder.

To create this card, I stamped and Stenciled the Tulip border and then added it to the largest Capsule Die for the background. I stamped the sentiment and then popped up the Tangled Tulips Details die, which was super easy to paper piece together! I layered the whole thing on the Capsule Basics Scalloped die for an extra pop of red!

__________________________________

This next little cutie was made with these supplies:

Shortbread Shapes: Rectangle Easter Embossing Folder

Chocolate Bunnies Die

Simple Spring Sentiments Stamp Set

S hortbread Shapes: Rectangle Labels Die

Shortbread Shapes: Rectangle Die

To create this card, I first used the Shortbread Shapes: Rectangle die to cut out the grid on the cream colored cardstock. Next, I placed the cardstock inside the embossing folder, lining it up with the grid from the die cut lines. I embossed the cardstock after die cutting to give it a nice, crisp look!

To finish off the card, I added the embossed panel to a pink, square card base and the die cut the bunny for the font. Adding the Rectangle Label with the new sentiment from Simple Spring Sentiments was the last step!

Oh and if you can peek the little bow around the bunnies neck, that came from the Silly Goose Die Set! It words perfectly for the bunnies!

__________________________________

One last card today using another new Shortbread Embossing Folder....

Shortbread Shapes: Rectangle Spring Embossing Folder

Silly Goose Die Set

Shortbread Shapes: Rectangle Die

Simple Spring Sentiments Stamp Set

This one was super simple to make and very similar to the bunny card. This time I paper pieced these adorable Silly Geese and added them to the embossed panel. I matted it with a pice of 90s blue and then put it on a white card base. I finished it off with a sentiment!

The Greetery's newest Colletion, Amour Market, will be available Friday, January 23rd at 10am EST over at TheGreetery.com. Click HERE to see the full collection on Friday!

__________________________________

I have 3 quick and simple projects to share today so lets get started!

This first card is a 5x7 card. I never make this size but this was so much fun and easy with these new products:

Shortbread Shapes: Scalloped Hearts Embossing Folder

Shortbread Shapes: Scalloped Hearts Die

Capsule Valentine Gallery Prints

Whole Hearted Die

Shortbread Shapes: Rectangle Labels Die

Simple Valentine Sentiments Stamp Set

To create this card, I used the Shortbread Shapes: Scalloped Hearts Embossing Folder to create 3 layers. I used the Shortbread Shapes: Scalloped Hearts Die to cut 2 layers. I used the first embossed piece for the background panel of the 5x7 card. Then I cut out the largest die shape for a 2nd layer and the scalloped heart layer for the 3rd. I added in the pink bow dies on each end. To add in color, I used the heart die to cut a piece out of the Capsule Valentine Gallery Prints. I attached it all to the card front with a heat embossed sentiment.

__________________________________

Here is what I used for this next little candy bag....

Shortbread Shapes: Rectangle Hearts Embossing Folder

Filagree Hearts Die

Shortbread Shapes: Rectangle Labels Die

Rosemal Reflections Detail Die

I used the Shortbread Shapes: Rectangle Hearts Embossing Folder to create this next project. I added some dark chocolate squares to a glassine bag and layered this amazing embossed detail to the front. I layered the front panel with a heart lined with the Filagree Hearts Die, a little Rosemal detail in there and another sentiment with the Shortbread Shapes: Rectangle Labels Die.

__________________________________

Last up, a very quick and easy Valentines Banner using a few new products.

Shortbread Shapes: Scalloped Hearts Embossing Folder

Shortbread Shapes: Scalloped Hearts Die

Capsule Valentine Gallery Prints

Shortbread Shapes: Rectangle Labels Die

Simple Valentine Sentiments Stamp Set

Regency Bow No 1 Die

Capsule Basics Die Set

Simple Valentine Sentiments Stamp Set

I die cut and embossed 5 of the large Shortbread shapes, 5 scalloped mats from Capsule Basics Die Set, and then die cut 5 of the Capsule Valentine Gallery Prints. I layered them all up with foam tape for some dimension. Next, I added the Regency Bow No 1 on 2 of the panels and used the small bow from the Shortbread Shapes: Scalloped Hearts Die in gold cardstock on the other 3. I added a sentiment to one using the Shortbread Shapes: Rectangle Labels Die and Simple Valentine Sentiments Stamp Set. I cut 2 holes in the top of each panel and threaded some red and white twine through eacy. You could add so many more details but the details in these products alone make for a fun little EASY banner!

Here are a few close ups....

__________________________________

I have 3 cards to share today so lets get started! First let me share what I used to make this quick and simple little card:

Market Place Mini Dies

Market Place Lover’s Lane die and stamp set

I wanted to use the Market Place Mini Dies but also wanted to try a more simple version. I decided to turn my card on its side and use just a portion of 2 of the buildings. I added all the hearts and swag and the sentiment using the new Markey Place Lovers Lane Dies. I kept it clean with a white card base and an off white background so all those Valentines colors would pop!

__________________________________

This next card showcases these products:

Diamond Hearts Die (LOVEEEEE)

Capsule Fixed Border Large Die

French Kiss Sentiments Stamp Set

Capsule Basics Die Set

To create this card, I cut a large scalloped background and card base out of the Capsule Basics Die set. I cut out the Diamond Hearts Die in pink and then the little heart middles out of a darker pinkish coral. I layered that on the back of the Capsule Fixed Large Die and popped it up on the scalloped card base. I used a small block and added in the XOXO sentiment. To finish the card, I added Glossy Accents to the center scored hearts for a little shine!

__________________________________

This last card was made using these new products:

Filagree Hearts Die

Coquette Hearts Embossing Folder

Bitty Blooming Hearts stamp + stencil and matching die

French Kiss Sentiment Stamp Set

__________________________________

When making this first little card, I realized that I have not had new family pics taken recently....*added to do do list.* So I found this older pic of my cute babies and made a little personalized card using these products:

Capsule Basics

Capsule Filagree Borders *NEW*

Rosemal Reflections Embossing Folder

Regency Bow #1 *NEW*

Hang it Up Dies. *NEW*

Capsule Holiday Borders Stamp Set *NEW*

To create this card, I die cut our family pic out with the Capsule die and then added the Capsule Filagree Border in gold cardstock. I added to the Rosemal Embossed card front. I used the same size Capsule die to create the card. To finish off the card, I used the Hang it Up dies on the top and the Regency Bow #1 for some color!

I stamped a simple sentiment and holly on the inside of the cared. Super quick and easy!

__________________________________

This next quick and simple card uses:

Shortbread Shapes Snowflake Embossing Folder *NEW*

Shortbread Shapes Snowflake Die *NEW*

Regency Bow #2 *NEW*

Large Linked Labels Embossing Folder *NEW*

Large Linked Labels Die *NEW*

Bigger Holiday Botanicals: Holly 2 *NEW*

Capsule Quick Tags Stamp Set *NEW*

I embossed the Shortbread onto an off white cardstock and cut it in half. Using the Shortbread Shapes large die, I made a card by folding it in half and then added the embossed half to the front. It makes a fun unquie shaped card. I added in the Large Linked Tag, stamped with a sentiment and then decorated with the Regency Bow and the Holly. I added in some gold drops just for a little shine!

__________________________________

Next up is a set of tags. I used these supplies to create them:

Capsule Basics Dies

Capsule Filagree Border Dies *NEW*

Bigger Holiday Botanicals Dies *NEW*

Tear Strip Tags Stamp Set

Tear Strip Tags Dies

Capsule Quick Tags Stamp Set *NEW*

After creating a 2 sided capsule tag, one navy, one off white, I added the Bigger Botanicals to each of the fronts and framed them with the Capsule Filagree Dies. I stamped the back with the Capsule Quick Tags and then added in the twine loop with the Tear Strip sentiment on each.

Last up is a super simple little set of 4 quick cards. I used the Capsule dies to create 4 cards, 2 red, 2 kraft. I used the Capsule Christmas Gallery Prints on each card.

The tree card was foiled using the Capsule Boarders 1 Foil Plates. The addition of gold foiling make it pop!

I tied them up with a ribbon to make an easy little card gift.

2025-10-07T06:00:00.041-05:00

Welcome to Day 2 of the latest Greetery Release called Christmas Marketplace. This new release is PACKED with some amazing holiday dies, stencils and stamps. We have more projects to share today and then release day, where everything you see here, will be available tomorrow, Wednesday, October 8th at The Greetery!

This first card uses the Rosemal Reflections Product Suite. I love how it was so quick and easy to make this card using the Rosemal Reflections Embossing Folder. I layered it on a large scallop die from last months Capsule Basics Die set. I added the Rosemal Reflections Details Die on the embossed portion of the center of the card. They line up perfectly so its so easy to add in the details. I added a sentiment banner across the middle with the Rosemal Reflections Sentiments. I didn't take a photo but using the Capsule Basics die, I create an oval card base behind this. It was so easy to make!

This next card uses the Diamond Foliage die along with the Bitty Holiday Botanicals Stamp and Stencil set. I added a sentiment with the Shortbread Shapes Rectangle Labels and the Simple Holiday Sentiments Stamp Set.

This last card is a quick and simple way to use the fun little details in the Lovely Linocuts: Nativity Stamp Set. I just stamped and die cut the little details to create an easy scene. There are LOTS of possibilities with this stamp and die set!

The Greetery - Christmas Marketplace Collection Day 1...

2025-10-06T06:00:00.033-05:00

Welcome to Day 1 of the latest Greetery Release called Christmas Marketplace. This new release is PACKED with some amazing holiday dies, stencils and stamps. We have projects to share today with another day of peeks tomorrow and then release day, where everything you see here, will be available on Wednesday, October 8th at The Greetery!

First up is a new set called Cocoa Cozy Product Suite. This inclused a stamp set and a coordinating die set, an embossing folder, along with a few other things to add in so many details. Today card was made using the embossing folder for the card base, the stamp set for the gloves and cocoa cup and then the sentiment popped up on the card base. Its so hard to see in the photo but each snowflake is lined with glitter! Love that sparkle!

Next up is a new product suite called Shortbread. The embossing folder and dies make for the most beautiful cards and tags! And they are great for a quick and simple card!

The last set to share is called Christmas Marketplace. If you know me, you may fall over after seeing this card. I am typically the quick and simple or clean and simple side of the Greetery but I made this.....

This is a dimensional trifold card using all 6 of the little buildings in the marketplace suite. I had so much fun putting this together and building the little Christmas scene!

The coordinating stamp set called Market Place Holiday Sentiments goes perfectly with each of the buildings.

Using the die set called Market Place Holiday Festoons, I decorated each of the windows with their own little wreath and bow. So many fun details in each building!

The Greetery - Hint of Autumn Day 2

2025-08-26T06:00:00.036-05:00

Welcome to day 2 of this amazing Greetery Release. If you have stopped in today, you have hit the Clean and Simple side of the Greetery! I have 3 quick and easy projects using Betsy's beautiful new stamps, dies and stencils! Oh...and some amazing hot foil plates!

This first card was created with the new Mushroom Meadow Stencil and Hot Foil Plate. It is hard to see in the photo but many of the small elements are hot foiled in gold. I took the coordinating stencils and added in color.

For the sentiment, I used Oblong Octagon Labels Hot Foil and Die set to create the frame. Using the Capsule Collection Floral Border Stamp set, I added that adorable sentiment!

Next up is a new die set called Wild Wetlands. This little die cut bouquet was so easy to create. I layered up all the different colors and added a simple sentiment to finish off the card. It so hard to see in the photo, but I used the smalled Capsule die and did some dry embossing on the white card base just for another fun little detail.

Last up, an amazing new set called Autumn Herbarium. This set includes a large red rubber stamp with stencils to create all the leaves at once. There is a large die that will cut out all the leaves at once along with an embossing folder that works great for backgrounds, but also gives all those leaves a really great 3D look! For this card, I stamped and stenciled up a variety of leaves and added them to a Capsule die, along with a sentiment and some gold pearls for some bling. Super simple!

The Greetery - Hint of Autumn

2025-08-25T06:00:00.055-05:00

I don't know about you but I am ready for this summer heat to hit the road! I love fall and the temps and the colors and the football....and all the things! We can also include in that list, an amazing new release from The Greetery called Hint of Autumn. There will be 2 days where we will be sharing all the new products and then release day is Wednesday, August 27th at 10am EDT. If you are reading this on that day, you can click HERE for the full release!

This first card was made using the new set called Capsule Cameos: Autumn stamp Set. There is also a coordinating die set and a sentiment set to go along! I kept it super simple today with a light gray ink stamped on white cardstock, cut out with the coordinating die to create a soft window, backed with gray cardstock. I finished if off with a sentiment from the same set.

Next up, another new stamp set called Thankful and Blessed. I love the big bold sentiments in this set as they work well with a clean and simple card. I used the Capsule dies to cut out the sentiment and backed it with card base made with the Herringbone Parquet Die. Super simple!

Last up, I made this card using a few new products but showcasing the Capsule Collection Floral Boarders. I used the capsule die and outlined it with this beautiful fall border. I layered on some leaves....that you will see more of tomorrow. :)

I added the sentiment from the Capsule Cameos: Autumn Stamp set and then layered it all on a white card boss embossed by......a folder you will learn more about tomorrow! hehe!

Star Spangled Summer - The Greetery May 2025

2025-05-29T06:00:00.090-05:00

Hey there crafty friends! Welcome to a fun little tour of an AMAZING new release from The Greetery! I have 3 projects to share using new stamps, stencils and dies from the Star Spangled Summer Release over at The Greetery. Everything you see today, will be available tomorrow, Friday, May 30th at 10am EDT.

__________________________________

Let's get started with today's cards! This first project was made using 2 new products:

Grand Finale Die and Stencil

Land of Liberty Stamp Set and Die Set

To create this card, I first used the large background die on a piece of vellum. I added the red color with a blending brush on top of the stencil that comes in the set. After laying in the little glittery pinwheels and bottle rockets to the vellum, I layered the full panel on a piece of blue cardstock. I love how the cutouts add the blue color of the cardstock shing through! Next up, I stamped an heat embossed the beautiful sentiment from the Land of Liberty Stamp Set and cut it out with the coordinating die. I popped up the sentiment with some foam tape to give the card a bit of dimension.

__________________________________

This next card was created using these new products:

Land of Liberty Stamp Set and Die Set

Wave the Flag Border Die

Star Stream Die

Star Stream Hot Foil Plate

First up, I used red hot foil and the Star Stream Hot Foil Plate to create the shiny design on the car base. Next, I die cut the Star Stream card front die. They line up pefectly so you can see the hot foil right through! I die cut the flag and added it to the top of the card and then heat embossed the sentiment in gold. I love the open dies for these intricate sentiments because they cut so perfectly!

__________________________________

The last card for today includes:

Star Stream Embossing Folder

Star Stream Stencils

Star Stream Sentiments Stamp Set and Die Set

This one was fun to make! I actually did the stenciling first using just 2 colors. I did red and blue ink. A lighter version for the strips and a heavier had with the stars. I used that panel and put it through my die cut machine with the new embossing folder. It is so hard to photograph but the dimension is really fun in person! I added three strips of cardstock to adhere my sentiment and then added in the star dies to finish it off!

__________________________________

My first project was made using the new Diamond Ribbons Die set. The large ribbon die is an A2 sized die and, for this card, I used it like an embossing plate in the background. I cut the panel out with the small Postal Frames Die and added it to a white card base with foam tape. To finish off the card, I added 4 pink ribbons with a thank you sentiment from Sentiment Suite: Thank You Stamp Set.

Using the previously released Have a Spine: Short Story Dies, I create a cute little book with the new Bunny Tales Stamp Set and dies. I kept the card clean and simple with the the white on white using the Square Dance Die.

The Hey Honeycomb line just got even cuter with the addition of this little chick. I did a simple and light pink background used the stamp only from the Bitty Bontanicals. The greenery on the stamp just gave the perfect light image. I added in the cutie chick and some extra little details, along with the honeycomb belly!

This last card was made using the newest crest, called Spring Crest. I added in the sentiments from the new Hymn Sing: Easter Refrain Stamp Set.

This book themed release is full of gorgeous stamps and dies. This first card was made using the new stamps from the Bookish Frames: Romance Stamp and Stencil Set along with the previously released die (the large A2 sized book dies) set called Have a Spine. I made the front page of the book using the Spring Meadow Background Stamp and then layered the crest from the new Bookish Frames: Romance Edition. the crest was so easy to heat emboss with gold embossing powder and then add to the book with foam squares. I added the sentiment in black ink so it would pop from the page.

I used the new Have a Spine Short Story to create the gift tag. I kept it simple with a heart and sentiment from the new Folk Heart Sentiments Stamp Set.

__________________________________

This next card was made using 2 new die sets, Nordic Hearts and Cupids Arrow. After layering the hearts together and adding in the adorable bow and arrow, I stamped a sentiment from the new stamp set called Shelved. Super simple!

__________________________________

This next card was so much fun to make! I loved the sentiment builder options in the new Folk Heart Sentiments so I chose a baby card. I used the new Shelved Stencil Set to create the books and cut them out with their coordinating die. I added in all the details using the Shelved Stamp Set. I stamped and die cut the sentiments and popped them up on fun foam die cuts for dimension. To finish off this simple baby card, I added the bunny from the Bunny Kisses Die Set. and popped her up on top of the books.

__________________________________

Last up, a super quick and easy card using the new Folk Heart Stamp Set and the Love Stories Stamp Set. First, I stamped a sentiment from Love Stories on the white card front panel. I stamped and die cut the Folk Heart and then added some glossy accents on each berry. I heat embossed a sentiment from Folk Heart Sentiments in gold embossing powder and added that to the card. Super quick for this simple Valentines Card!

The Greetery - Icing Collection

Hello crafty friends! I am so excited to be here with the next round of projects from the new Icing Collection at The Greetery. These next stamps and dies are perfect for making your gifts and tags beautiful as always, but today I used them all to make some cards....and some easy little tags! Clean and simple, of course!

__________________________________

The newest quick tag set is called Inside and Out Holiday Tags. This stamp gives you 8 tags instantly with a die to cut them all out and a stencil to add in some color. I used one of the tags and the stencil to create this easy card.....

Next up is a new die set called Frost Buds. I added the snowflake stem to a card panel that I embossed with the new Ribbon Maker: Crystal Strand. I added a Christmas sentiment and some Crystal Sequins to give this card some shine....

To create this easy card, I used the Arches Dies to create a window on my white card base. I die cut the Nordic Tree in vellum and added it to the card. I finished the card with the gold star, the adorable ribbon from the Ornamental Tag Dies and a sentiment from the past set called Comfort and Joy.

To create some super easy tags, I used the new Hey Honeycomb dies...the Penguin, Polar Bell and Snow Man, along with the Hey Honeycomb Holiday Stamp Set. After putting these cuties together, I lined the back with a peel adhesive label to make these super easy to add directly to a gift!

Fa La La La La....

2024-09-13T09:27:00.004-05:00

Happy Friday! I am excited to be a guest over at Concord and 9th this month. I will have several cards to share over the next week, all with the holiday theme! I also chose one color combo to use on all the cards.

This is the 2024 Color Collection and its one of my favorite combos. I thought it would make a really fun, non-traditional color combo for this months card.

Today I am sharing the Fa La La Inlay Die. This die is so much fun for so many reasons. The letters by themselves would be so cute on a card. The cut on top of a solid color card would be a great background. Or in the case of today's card, I die cut 5 colors and a silver cardstock to inlay all the letters.....

The benefit is, now I have 5 other card bases ready to make cards out of! I added some holly, a sentiment and banner die from the Festive Blooms Stamp Set and Festive Blooms Dies.

See the full Concord and 9th release by clicking HERE! Thanks for coming by today!
