Hello friends! OH BOY! Are you in for a treat this week! It's a brand new, beautiful, amazing, sweet, creative, unique and awesome release from The Greetery! The Greetery is celebrating their one year anniversary this week! And, the products are all about celebrating! The collection is called The Confetti Collection. Think parties, birthdays, celebrations, festivities!! For the next two days the Design Team will be doing project and product reveals. And then everything will be for sale on Friday 5/29 at 10am EST! I am hard pressed to think of another stamp/die release that is as perfect as this one. Everything is golden. I had the best time creating with all the supplies. I made six projects!! Today I'm sharing four cards. Tomorrow, another card, and some pretty party favors. Can't wait to show you! Lots of pictures today! Hope you are doing well this week. Thanks for coming by. XO
First up is a birthday card made with the creative Balloon Bouquet stamps and dies, along with the Big Balloons Die Set. Only Betsy would think to make a giant balloon stamp with FLOWERS inside of it! OMG. I made a "celebrate" card using the word stamps (in the prettiest font). I also used the Ticker Tape Background stamp. This could be a birthday card, a shower card, a retirement card, anything that calls for a celebration.
For size and scale, this finished card is an A2 card size. The balloon is big!! I lined up the florals and leaves using my MISTI – two shades of pink and two shades of green. I heat embossed the word on the top with white embossing powder. The blue background is also stamped. I stamped it three times with the MISTI to get even ink coverage.
I colored the background with blenders and Distress Inks. Then I stamped the Background stamp over the blended background with the same color! Makes such a pretty background for the balloons. I used the balloon die set and cut out two more balloons from vellum to use as accents on the card. The strings were die cut from silver cardstock. I love a bit of sparkle!!
Next up is a very graphic birthday card using the Big Balloons Dies and another sentiment from the Balloon Bouquet stamp set!! I love how this came out. You could use any colors to match the celebration or the person's favorite colors! I could even see this being used as an invitation to a birthday party. The finished card is A2 and I covered the card front with some gingham from my stash.
The big balloon die set comes with the string and the little pieces to use as highlights. (Again Betsy thinks of everything!) I die cut a bunch of balloons out and attached them to the card. Then I used my paper trimmer to get a clean edge. The main balloon is mounted on the card with foam tape. It is also heat embossed with white embossing powder. Looks so nice against that vivid red. (This is one of my favorite Summer color combinations)
This third card was made using the brand new Think Happy stamps and dies!! I also used the previously released Silver Linings Dies…. They are perfect together! This stamp/die set is a beautiful half rainbow with a cloud filled with flowers! Oh so sweet and cheerful. The sentiments have a cool, modern retro feeling. It's alllll nice! The finished card is an A2 card base in gray, layered with silver and then white.
I die cut the rainbow and the flowers from the same colors of cardstock. Pretty bright Summer colors. I splattered some white ink all over everything too. It is very easy to assemble everything. The color combos are endless!!!
I die cut the clouds dies from white cardstock to fit along the bottom of the card. I used the new Moon Dust Stickles gel to make the clouds sparkly. I easily applied it with my finger!! It dries pretty fast – so fun. I added a few raindrops embellishments too. (Supplies are at the bottom of my post)
And, lastly, an elegant and classy birthday card made with the Birthday Blooms stamps and dies!! This stamp set has pretty floral sprays that you stamp and mount around beautiful words. Another super versatile set!! This finished card is an A2 purple card base. I layered white and then kraft. The kraft layer was stamped in Versamark Ink with the beautiful Windowpane background stamp. Then I splattered it with gold paint.
I stamped and die cut the floral sprays. Then I die cut an oval and mounted the sprays around the oval. I heat embossed the words in gold embossing powder. The birthday was embossed onto vellum (love) and the happy was embossed onto purple cardstock. I added a few pearls as accents on this card.
Thank you for coming by today! Are you as excited as I am!? It was really hard to keep this secret! And….wait until tomorrow!!!! EEK! More projects tomorrow from the team (and guests) and then the release will be for sale on Friday 5/29 at 10am EST.
