Hello my sweet and crafty friends! How did you enjoy yesterday's introduction to the new release from The Greetery?! Are you excited for the new release? I am!! Today is day two of previews and projects and then only one more sleep until the release goes for sale Friday morning! Thank you for all the kind comments on yesterday's post. I love to see your enthusiasm! What is your favorite thing so far?? I'm not even going to try to pick a favorite this time around. The Confections release is pure joy and creative fun!
THE GREETERY NEW RELEASE IS LIVE FOR SHOPPING FRIDAY, JANUARY 20TH AT 10AM EST!!
I have two more cards to share today! Some sweet strawberries and some even sweeter bon bon confections! Let's get to it!
First up is a card featuring the brand new Botanicuts – Strawberries! OOH LA LA! I used the previously release Market Baskets to create a market fresh little scene on a card. The finished card is an A2 card base, layered with red, and then the white postal panel. This card is mostly die cutting, and I really enjoy that type of crafting….
The sentiments are from the All Kinds of Happy set! This is going to be a great addition to my stamp collection – several types of the word happy, and then loads of accompanying sentiments!! The Botanicut – Strawberry is a big spray with berries, flowers and pretty leaves. This is the entire die. I also added some berries separately to the card.
The Market Baskets were made from dark gray cardstock and just a hint of gingham (because you guys know me…) The Picked Fresh sentiment was perfect for the small label on the basket!
I die cut out the berries, leaves and flowers and added accents with distress inks and a small sponge dauber. I also splattered everything with some white paint for good measure. The sentiment was die cut from the same gray cardstock to make everything come together.
I am going to use this die cut a lot – I have so many ideas! This is a favorite motif of mine and it's going to be wonderful going into Summer!
Next up is a card for my friend Forrest….Life is like a box of chocolates! I used the new Curio Confections dies to create a sweet shop card! This finished card is a kraft 5.25" x 5.25" square card. I layered some pretty pastel pink stripes, vellum and white cardstock…. Then my feature elements and that gorgeous SWEET sentiment!
I used the Curio Cabinet Die and cut off part of it to make it smaller. I backed it with light pink cardstock as the bottom of my 'box'. I used my favorite color palette for sweets: pink, aqua, brown, and dark pink…. LOVE. The strawberries are from the Botanicut – and there are add-ons that make chocolate bottoms and frosting!!! Betsy thought of EVERYTHING!
The possibilities are endless for using these new dies. I only used a few of them!!! It was very fun and creative to sit and craft bon bons and chocolates at my table. I only wish they were real so I could eat them!
For my accents, I used some white gel pen, some Diamond Stickles and some pearls. My sentiment is the new Sweet Word Die in aqua, backed in vellum. Then I heat embossed the valentine wishes portion.
The level of detail in these dies is truly amazing! I love how Betsy always thinks of things I would never think of, and yet, makes the project even more special.
Okay, friends, that's it for release week festivities! I hope you've been inspired and that you're excited for shopping! I can't wait to hear what you get and see what you make! Thanks for spending part of your week here with me! XOXO
As usual, Betsy will generously be giving away two $50 gift certificates for the blog hop. The winners will be selected from comments left on all the blog posts! Good Luck!!

Love the strawberries in the market basket. Glad I have that die!
Oh Wanda, these are too cute. Love how you used the baskets. And on your other card, by using the white accents on a couple of the cookies, you had me fooled into thinking there was glossy accents on them until I enlarged picture. Great job.
I’m thinking that everyone is freaking out right now over the strawberry botanicuts. I’m no exception. LOL Love them, and love what you created using them. So striking with the black details.

So beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration.I am very sorry that no one in Sweden sells their products and that the customs duty on imports is very high so I do not dare to order because I will pay more customs duties than the products cost.
The textures and dimension on these cards! 🤩
