First up today is a birthday card featuring the brand new Celebration Borders, Party Scene Dies, and Party Scene Stencils! I used my favorite birthday color palette and put in pops of gold shimmer… So, funny story, sometimes being the first ones to make something with new products is a bit hard! I’m pretty sure I didn’t use these amazing layering dies exactly correctly! Ha. So I am anxiously awaiting a look at Betsy’s projects to see how she did it! The new dies fit into the capsule collection shapes and layer – balloons, banners, etc. The stencils perfectly match the shapes which makes it easy to color!! This finished card is an A2 card base so you can see how large the dies are…
I heat embossed the new sentiment in gold onto vellum and tucked it in there too. Lots going on…. But I love the feeling of it. I also think this could be a great Happy New Year card! (I hope I remember that idea!)
I splattered on some gold paint to the elements and ink blended a nice background layer. A few gems too… The Celebrate banner is another element from the Marketplace Celebration dies! It fits perfectly!

My next card is a special one, because I used new elements to make a birthday card for one of my friends! Her birthday is next week and I hope she doesn’t see this post! This card features the brand new For The Ages awesome number dies, the new Laid Back Basics stamps and dies (the celebrate word) and the brand new Pretty Picado Flowers dies. LOTS of things on this card! I used another one of my favorite color palette – ocean colors of green, teal and aqua… My finished card is an A2 size. I die cut the numbers from teal with a silver outline. I die cut lots of those beautiful flowers and leaves and put them around an oval shape…. Pearls and silver paint splatters finish off the look! I hope she likes it!

These flowers are so so pretty and delicate!

And last, but not least, my final card for release week! (there’s those pretty flowers again!)… This card features the Capsule Collection and the SO SO SO beautiful new Pretty Picado Cutaway Dies! Yowza – this is stunning in person – those intricate and perfect die cuts! I used a fresh lemon and lime color palette perfect for Summer time. The sentiment is from the new Laid Back Basics stamp set (a must have)! Lots of layers here but it all works. The Pretty Picado stamps/dies/stencils suite is really cool – so many ways to use everything! Oh and I threw a little bow on there for good measure too!

Beautiful! I love the colors you chose and all the layers…
Your cards are just stunning!
Hi, Wanda –
Love all of these. The “27” and the third cards are my picks, but all of them are lovely! Your photography is just phenomenal and I don’t tell you that often enough! The Greetery is ON FIRE.

Beautiful cards! I especially love your Happy 27 card, love your colors & design, then I kept scrolling down and your green Happy Birthday card is stunning too!
Beautiful cards! Stunning creations!!!
Stunning cards, Wanda. I love them all. I need the 27th birthday card in my life. 😂 That one is definitely on the list of things to make.
Oooh, the gold!!
I love your festive cards! Those numbers are such a great design!
Wonderful cards Wanda!
Your cards are beautiful. I love the fresh, clean colors you chose.
Beautiful cards! I love the last one, green and white with a little yellow. Stunning!
Beautiful cards!
Can’t wait to shop tomorrow!
Such a fun and festive collection! Can’t wait for the launch.
Your cards are absolutely gorgeous! I love the color combinations, especially on the last two!
New capsule borders and those lovely, delicate flowers are awesome! I really like the new numbers set too!
Beautiful cards, Wanda! I think the Happy 27 is my favorite. Love the colors, love the layout, love the flowers.
Ohh, your beautiful green and yellow card just has the “wow” factor! So eye catching.
Beautiful cards, Wanda! The Happy 27th is my favorite. Love the colors, love the layout, love the flowers.
(Sorry if this is a duplicate. I wasn’t sure the first time went through……long story)
I am loving all of the birthday card inspiration. I don’t know which one I am going to copy first!
Love your color combos for these – so pretty!
Green and yellow birthday card is my favorite, but they’re all so pretty!
Gorgeous cards! I love all the pretty details in these new products.
I am LOVING the last two cards, Wanda! You’ve used those new flowers differently than anyone else! (I do look for things like that!) 😉 BRAVO! AND NICELY DONE! 😉
BRAVO & BEAUTIFULLY DONE, Wanda! 😉
Every little detail is perfect creating such a beautiful card.
I loved how your color choices on the third card- that bright green paired with white -just made the card pop with cheerfulness. I really enjoyed studying how you put your first card together. It made sense that you would use similar colors for the banner and the balloons. You were able to vary the look of the background inking only one side, and then you placed vellum on the lower half to encourage that feeling of lightness. All of your small decisions created a beautiful look overall, and I liked seeing how those little details added up.(I’m sorry if this is somehow a duplicate message, but I don’t think my first attempt went through.)
Love your green birthday card so much! Today is my birthday and I’d love to receive a card like that, lol.
I thought I loved those flower cut outs. Now I KNOW I love them. Your cards showed them off perfectly.
I love all the beautiful cards! I have “a thing” about your card with the yellow flowers! Thank you for sharing your talent!

I just love how you use patterned paper for your cards. I especially like the last card where you used green gingham with yellow. So striking and beautiful. The For the Ages numbers are wonderful-just the right size with so many options on how to use them. The Capsule Party Scene dies are among my favorites from this release. So many ways to dress up a card with them, no matter what the occasion is.

Such sweet cards Wanda! I love every one of them! Thank you for the inspiration!
Fabulous cards! Thanks for the inspiration.
Wanda, I like your color palette for each of your cards and the use of vellum. This release has so many options and works well with previous releases.
Wanda, your cards are always my favorite. These are no exception. Such fun and festive ideas.
Wow! I just can’t get enough of your color combos and designs!
Hi Wanda. Your cards today are so pretty. I love how you have added gingham papers to two of your cards. That is one of my favorite styles of patterned paper. I love the glittery gold accents on your first card and I like how your celebrate banner is in front of the balloon and is hanging in the air. I love the color and scattered flowers on your second card and the pearl centers are a nice touch. I am in love with the font on the, “HAPPY” sentiment. Your last one is like a breath of spring air. It’s nice you photographed it greenery, because that is what it makes me think of. I appreciate you sharing all of your great ideas on the 2-day hop. Have a great day!
Your cards and the techniques are outstanding! The gold embossed vellum is perfection 💛
Great projects! The party scene birthday card is so eye catching. Thanks for the inspiration!
Fabulous card designs!
Love the 27 card so much…the cool colors and the flowers make the card feel chic and modern, while still being cute!
Beautiful cards Wanda!!
Beautiful cards! I love the green and yellow combo!
Love your cards, especially the floral ones!
I love the colors you used and how you used the new flowers. Thank you for sharing!
Your cards are absolutely gorgeous Wanda! So unique in style, design and details!
Your third card (the green & yellow) is my absolute favorite!!! Love everything about it!
These are so fresh and fun. Bright colors, gingham and flowers… what’s not to love?
Gorgeous cards! Love the fun & festive feel!
Love your use of the new flowers as accents on all your projects. They add so much fun texture and beauty to your cards. 🥰
Question for you, how did you do the happy on the Happy 27 card. Did you cut out the black letters from the cutaway die cut. All I can figure with the letters being cardstock and shadowed by the vellum. Darling and thanks so much
Hi Sheila! For the black “happy” I die cut it out of black cardstock and then used scissors to trim around the word. Then I used the larger Happy die to make the vellum outline!! I hope this makes sense. Thank you for being so kind. XO Wanda
