Hi friends!! What do you think of The Greetery New Release so far?? Did you see my post from yesterday?? If not, take a look, because you don't want to miss anything!! This week we are introducing the new Capturing Summer stamp and die release from The Greetery. It's the perfect way to finish up Summer crafting and I have three more cards to share today, and tons of pictures. I hope you can feel my enthusiasm for this product release… If I had more time last week I would have made twenty more cards!! LOL.
Everything will be available for shopping in The Greetery store on July 14th at 10am EST! Yay!
First up today is a cheerful vintage inspired card made with cream, brown and lots of RED!! I used the new Pretty Pot Dies and the newest Botanicuts star – the Geranium! I looooove geraniums – they are so cheerful and happy. I have a little pot just like this!! The finished card is a Cream A2 card base layered with red paper and then gingham from my stash. The die cuts are the star of the show for sure. So vivid.
I started by getting my pot of flowers all set up. I die cut the die set from three different colors of red paper. The die set has the main parts of the flowers and then smaller accent flowers that pop up off the page. I mixed and matched the reds to look like real flowers. I used dark red Copic Markers to add a bit of depth to the flower petals. I used two different shades of green to make the leaves.
I added Copic Marker accents to the leaves also. And splashed everything with a bit of white paint!
Once my flower pot was assembled, I die cut a Crimped Circle from Cream Cardstock. I stamped some words from the Pretty Postmarks Set onto the circle and then inked it all around with Distress ink. The 'Flowers' sign on the front of the pot was made with the Market Basket Dies and Stamps!! It's the perfect size!
Here's a good close up of those Geranium Dies!
Next up today is a card made with the brand new Curio Collection!! OMG it's sooooooo cool! Everything you need to make your own curio box!!! There is the divider die, the accessories, a frame for the cover…..it's wonderful!!! My finished card is an A2 card base made from woodgrain cardstock (supplies are listed at the bottom of my post – click the link) The Curio Collection is: Curio Cover, Curio Divider and Details, Curio Summer Findings, and Curio Labels!
I die cut the frame from dark brown woodgrain cardstock. I layered it over some cool patterned paper from my stash. I did a bit of paint splashing with brown and gold paint onto that bottom paper layer. I wanted it to look old and worn. I decided to go with a woodland/forest theme, so I chose the elements to match that theme. I got out the previously release Toadstools die set for the mushroom. Everything else is from the new die set.
The Summer curio items include ferns, a dragonfly, a moth, butterfly, stamp….and some seashells! I love this concept so much. Can't wait to make more things with it. I used some Tim Holtz metal accents from my stash and some word stickers too. So many ways to create.
Everything was die cut from cardstock, accented with Copic Markers and then accented again with gold paint on a small paintbrush. I really wanted everything to have a bit of shimmer on it.
The curio frame die lets you turn your card into an interactive card! The die set has hinges and a handle!!! SO COOL – am I right????
I'm crossing my fingers that Betsy is going to keep adding sets of dies to go into the curio frame!!!
And my final card for release week!!! I made this card using the new Container Garden Stamp Set and Dies – and the Jumbo Jar Die. The Container Garden stamps are meant to fit perfectly inside the jar!! It's a layered stamp set that was super easy to line up. The color palettes are endlessssss. I decided to go with a country theme… The finished card is a white A2 card base, layered with woodgrain and then the pretty jar filled with flowers.
To make the lid look like an old jar, I die cut it from silver glitter cardstock – and then colored over it with a dark gray Copic Marker. I tied on some twine around the top and a tiny tag… So sweet.
I stamped and die cut the big flower bouquet and added a few accents with markers. I stamped the bee directly onto the jar die cut.
Doesn't this look like the prettiest bunch of summer flowers? I'm just amazed at how this all came together. It's beautiful – that big stamp!!!

I think my grandsons would love cards made with the Curio Collection. So much fun!
Gorgeous, my favorite are your geraniums, such pretty layering, coloring and like the white highlights!
These cards are wonderful!! Love your geraniums and what you did with jar lid!
Loved all three cards. The geraniums were so perfect looked like summer to me. The curio card has so many possibilities. I wonder if the Summer travel sets will work great with this set. Plus I could see it with some family pictures and a few trinkets that represent our family. A very fun set. Also who doesn’t love a jar with a lid. I love your idea pulling together the new release. It reminds me of being little and punching wholes in the top, capturing butterflies or lady bugs… of the whole collection I love it all but the porch with the rocking chair wins my heart…
Wow your cards are simply gorgeous!
I’m speechless! You do geraniums like no one else!
Very pretty cards!
Wonderful cards, Wanda!
Wanda, you never disappoint. Those gorgeous red geraniums are fabulous!
Wanda your geraniums are so beautiful!
I really appreciate how detailed your curio photos are—and your beautiful handiwork—wow! You’re right—I hope the curio theme carries on for all four seasons—my mind is full of ideas!
I am in LOVE with the jar die….its large enough to be a shaped card, shaker or on a front panel! Amazing !
Once again, Wanda, your projects are fabulous. Thank you.
Wanda! These turned out so pretty! Every element is perfect! The colors and unique layouts! You have the best ideas!
Beautiful cards; Wanda! I adore those Geraniums!
Oh my! I just LOVE the Geraniums, too! Your card is perfect. I love all other new stuff, too. 😀 Thanks for the inspiration.
