Hello, my creative, talented and crafty friends! It's a gooooood day today! It's time for a fun, happy, awesome, party themed new release from The Greetery! The Greetery is celebrating their FIVE year anniversary this month! How amazing is that? Feels like yesterday when I got the email from Betsy telling me of her new business and asking me to join the fun! So honored to have been on this journey! So I feel like that calls for a party! The new release is called Confetti Encore Collection!! It's everything for celebrations – birthdays, graduations, parties, or any other fun occasion. You're gonna be in the mood to shake it and dance, and eat cake and ice cream after you see everything!! The design team will be sharing products and projects today and tomorrow, and then the new release will be available for shopping on Friday, April 26th at 10am EST. So glad you're here to join me in the fun today.
SHOP THE NEW RELEASE FRIDAY, APRIL 26TH, AT 10AM EST!
I will be sharing three cards today, and four cards tomorrow. All seven cards are birthday cards! We can never have enough birthday cards on hand, right? Two of my cards are interactive too! I used tons of colors, and fun papers to make it a par-tay. Lots of inspiration from the entire team for the next two days!! My supplies, prize information, and links to everyone's blogs are all at the bottom of this post. Let's get started!
Each of my cards this time has a completely different vibe and style. I love it. I really got into the colors this time around and had fun with all the new stamps, stencils and dies. My first card for today features the brand new addition to the Four Square Tags series – Birthday! I used the new stamps along with the Four Square Dies, and some other Greetery favorites. My finished card is an A2 kraft card base. I layered paper from my stash with a vintage color palette and gold….
As you can see, this time around, I didn't make FOUR Four Square tags…. I made ONE! So this is cool – I didn't cut my paper into a square first, so I could make a longer tag from the die! I made one cream tag with the criss cross top for the focus point of my card. I used cream cardstock for that vintage look. I inked the edges with Distress Ink…. I used the gorgeous Ticker Tape Stamp to stamp the confetti on the tag and then generously splattered gold paint. My sentiment is from the brand new Four Square Tags Birthday set and I heat embossed in gold….
I used the Loopy Bow Die to make the pretty bow for the top of my tag. I had some paper flowers in my stash that fit the theme…. And lovely pink pearls to complete the look. This card is very girlie!
I attached the tag to the card using foam tape and also attached the sentiment with foam tape! I do love that dimension!
Now….for a totally different look! For my second card I used the brand new Celebration Streamers Stencils and Stamp combo and the brand new It's Your Day die! I made a rainbow! This new set is very cool! My finished card is an A2 white card base, with just one more layer of white featuring the design. The stamp/stencil combo is neat – you stencil the streamers on first and then use the matching stamps to add the darker shaded portion so it looks so realistic! To make it a rainbow, I carefully used small blending brushes to change colors for each streamer! (My ink colors and fav blending brushes are linked at the bottom of my post).
This is a cool one layer card – perfect for mailing! I used the new dies for the sentiment in gold and vellum. Super sparkly and festive!!
Lots and lots of gold paint splatters here!! And a few gems and stars too!!
And my last card for today features the brand new Flourished Phrases – Birthday!! If you loved the LOVE and HELLO versions, you're going to love the birthday version! My finished card is a white A2 card base, layered with a new gingham paper pad I just got (You need it) and then my focus layer with the design. The matching die for this stencil is perfection and so detailed. Fantastic!! I used pretty shades of aqua and yellow.
Here's my tip for getting the die cutting perfect on this one – because of the swirls…. I inked the words first in shades of aqua and teal (LOVE)! Then I die cut it out. After it was die cut, I went back and stenciled the yellow swirls onto the already die cut part!! I added glitter to the words for sparkle!!
For the background, I stamped some starbursts from the Make a Wish stamp set in yellow and then added gems. This card could be stamped in annnnny colors to make it feminine, masculine, mod, vintage, whatever the mood!!
That's all for today, but I'll be back tomorrow with the rest of the new release! Thank you for your support and kind comments – and for sharing my enthusiasm for The Greetery. We all love The Greetery! Have a blessed and happy day! See you tomorrow for the rest of the party! XOXO

Beautiful cards! I especially love the rainbow streamers card. Happy birthday.
What wonderful projects!! I love the colorful streamers! Thanks for sharing!
Love all your projects today but the rainbow streamers is definitely my favorite!
OK! Wanda, you need to explain, HOW you did ONE tag from the Four Square Tags Die. (My brain just can’t get around it! LOL) Since the top of the die is in the center! :/ Anyway, you did a FABULOUS JOB on your cards! From Vintage, to Streamers (which I LOVE), to the BD Flourished Phrases (LOVE that one too!) “HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE GREETERY!!!”
These are gorgeous Wanda! They are so happy and just pop!
Going to be an expensive week. Love the new release. Thanks for sharing
Such gorgeous cards from a wonderful release!
Beautiful cards Wanda!!!! Love them all!!
Great cards. Especially love the way you’ve used the four square tags die and the new birthday set…with these new products and so many others of my Greetery stash I don’t think there is a Celebration I can’t handle.
I love your make a wish card. What a great idea for the bigger tag size!
Wonderful cards! I’m especially loving the festive look with the colorful streamers!

I found your blog a little while back and I subscribed. I reallly like your style and your cards are awesome. The Greetery is one of my top two companies because I love their products.
I like the different options to make the streamers and they look awesome on a dark background. The shading possibility on this collection is great as well.
Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful cards but I especially love the Make A Wish card!
Your streamer card is so bright and cheerful. Thanks for the inspiration from all your cards.
Fabulous cards! Love each & every one of them, but especially the one with the streamers.
Your cards are very pretty. I like the “tag” idea to make it longer – clever! Using the colors of God’s rainbow is awesome. Thank you!
All 3 of your cards are very pretty… and each is quite different. I liked the sparkle you added to the words on the last card.
Fabulous cards Wanda!! Your first card is gorgeous! Thank you for all the inspiration! I have convinced myself that I need those streamers!
Love your cards especially the one with the patterned paper, so fun!
Great projects shared! I like the contrasting patterns on the first card.
Wow!! All your cards are really exciting and beautiful but the one I am most drawn to is the one with the flourish sentiment birthday is my favorite of all.

Love them all. What a fun way to jazz up some cards! The streamers and confetti are just too fun. Home from vacation and ready to hit the ground running. I have a ton of cards to make for May… nicely done.
Another wonderful post with your gorgeous cards, Wanda! You always inspire me to want it all from Betsy’s amazing releases, if my budget allowed me. Congrats on 5 years with The Greetery!
Hard to choose a favorite! Love them all!

So in love with the streamers and 4 square birthday sentiments!
I love how you used patterned paper on you first card!
Loving these Birthday celebration products in the new release! Great cards! Thanks for sharing!
Wow!!! What beautiful creations!! I can’t wait for this release.
Love your details (like the sparkles behind the Happy Birthday) and the way you were able to create such impact centering on the “Make a wish” Lovely!
Your Make a Wish tag card is so sweet, love the bow and paper choices, just beautiful.
I always love your use of previously released products with the new ones! Except I usually have to order more things that previously I didn’t think I needed. 😜
Love all the glitter and gold. Gold paint spatter, huh? I will have to check that out.
My 1st thought for using the Foursquare set was to use them as card sentiments, so your card gave me a great idea how to do it. Lovely cards!
It’s hard to believe how everyone’s projects look completely different just based on the colors chosen. That’s so neat.
Wonderful cards, Wanda!
Fabulous cards! Beautiful use of color and dimension!
Such festive cards!!
Beautiful cards, especially the one using the Streamers. Love this release
Beautiful birthday cards-love the streamers!
Such inspiring projects as always!
Fabulous cards, as always, Wanda!
Did I read that right? You stencil and then stamp? How on earth do line them up? I love the look, but I am confused.
Always gravitate to your beautiful cards, so inspiring!
Fantastic birthday cards! I love them all. Thanks for the great inspiration!
Wanda, you are amazing! I love these!
Lucky is so very “lucky” to be able to admire these cards up close!
Oh, Wanda! I adore how uniqueness of each card. They are fabulous!
Such great cards! Always unique and fun!
Great card designs!
Hi Wanda. It’s great to see you here. I love all your unique cards. Like you said I’m in a party mood and I need to shake, dance, eat cake and ice cream. This release and your cards completely fit the bill to make that happen. Your first card is so sweet, and I love the loopy bow on top. On your “It’s Your Day” card, I love the cool sparkle of gold embossed on vellum. Your gold starbursts with gems in the center you added to your HB card is a nice festive touch. I can’t wait to see what you show tomorrow.
Love that streamer card and as always your cards are fabulous!
Beautiful projects–I especially love the it’s your day card!
SWOON!! I LOVE EVERYTHING about this Release and your AMAZING Creations!! THANKS so MUCH for sharing and have a FABULOUS Release Week!! ❤️
My favorite of these is the “make a wish” card, but I love all of your makes!
