The Greetery – Fireside Collection New Release – Day One!

Hello, my creative, talented and crafty friends! It's a gooooood day today! It's time for a warm, wonderful, classy and  amazing new release from The Greetery! The new release is just in time for us to to get ready for the holidays! I look forward to Betsy's holiday vision every year, don't you!?  It's very beautiful with all the classic themes of the holidays – Ribbons and bows, and greenery, and Christmas cards…and even a cozy fireplace! It's very lovely! I think you're going to love it! 

The new release is called Fireside Collection! I used mostly traditional colors of Christmas and lots of gold accents.  The design team will be sharing products and projects today and tomorrow and then the new release will be available for shopping on Wednesday, October 2nd, at 10am EST! Just two more days to wait. I had a really fun time with this release – as always though!!  I'm excited to share it with you.

SHOP THE NEW RELEASE WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2ND, AT 10AM EST!

I will be sharing three cards today, and four cards and projects tomorrow! The cards for today all have a theme of cozy Christmas… Loads of beautiful inspiration from the entire design 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! YEAH! Are you ready for Christmas?!

My first card today features the brand new Fireside Dies and the brand new Warm and Cozy Stamps AND the brand new Hung with Care dies! Lots of NEW on this card! My finished card is a horizontal A2 card base, layered with pretty red patterned paper (inspired to look like wallpaper)… All those pretty dies are the star of the show! I created a warm living room scene with a fireplace and a big beautiful Christmas tree. The mantle is all decorated for Christmas Eve with stockings hung and greenery. I even added a couple of deer decorations! My home decor for this card is classic and clean – white and grey… The floor is made using the Herringbone Die and the tree was made using the Frosty Pines Dies. I have fun mixing and matching new and old Greetery supplies to create the perfect scene. I really enjoy this type of crafting cards!

My second card for today features the brand new Have A Spine Book Dies, the brand new Bookish Holiday Frames and the brand new Christmas Story! These dies all work together to make beautiful books! Genius! My inspiration for my book came from a church hymnal! I used the previously released Heaven and Nature Sing suite of products to decoration the cover of my book/hymn book! I used pretty blue and kraft, with touches of gold to create the look. The background under the arch is a new stamp/die combo that is meant for this book! I used clear embossing ink on kraft paper to create this tone on tone look. Isn't it cool that the sentiments fit perfectly along the spine of the book? Betsy thought of everything. My finished card is an A2 card base, layered with kraft and rich blue cardstocks. My design elements include gold paint splatter and bright blue pearls.

My third card for today features the brand new Winter Crest stamps, dies and stencils. A new addition to the Crest series – it's so lovely! My finished card is a cream A2 card base layered with green and striped papers… Arches in cream and vellum serve as a backdrop for the pretty crest and greenery…. I ink blended the top of the crest and added splatters… I finished with pearls, twine and a perfect gold star. This card is clean and simple – and relatively flat for mailing. A good one for mass production too!
