Hi friends! Today is an exciting day! I am very happy to share with you that it's new release week at The Greetery! YEAH!! The new release is called "Handiwork" and it has a beautiful sewing/floral theme! The collection is super feminine and pretty, with gorgeous new florals and even an antique sewing machine! I had a great time making my projects for release week to share with you. We have to reveal days this release – today and tomorrow. The design team will be sharing our projects on our blogs and revealing all the new products for you. I have six cards to share with you over the next two days and they are all so different from each other. I got to make some vintage cards this time around, which I love! It's hard to choose a favorite thing from the new release….. Are you excited too?? Let's gooooo!!
THE NEW RELEASE DAY IS FRIDAY JULY 28TH AT 10AM EST!
My first card for Day one is an embroidery hoop with a honey bee inside. You guys know I love to stitch, and one of my favorite themes is bees, so this was a perfect match. My card features the brand new Hoopla Round Die and Inserts Die, and also the brand new Aida Cloth Texture Plate. I used previously released Honey Bees and Buzzworthy sets to complete my project. The finished card is an A2 card base. I layered on striped paper, then a cream panel, then my hoop and bee.
Here's a side view of my layers…. The Hoopla Round Dies come in two sizes in the set – this is the smaller size. I die cut the hoop from woodgrain cardstock. I layered three of the hoops together to make it a bit thicker. I used the new Aida Texture Plate for the inside to look like emroidered cloth…

The Hoopla die sets (there is an oval also that I will show you tomorrow) have the perfect hardware to put on top! Here I die cut the hardware from matte silver cardstock.
I attached the bee using foam squares…. She pops off the page! I also popped up the sentiment. I had stamped it first (flat) and then thought I would like it better with the die cut. You can see the other sentiment underneath. Sometimes you gotta adjust on the fly!
I stamped the yellow honeycombs using my MISTI and two shades of yellow inks. I also ink blended over the honeycombs for a soft effect!!

For the bee, I used black and yellow cardstocks and then some white paint splatters. I also shaded the body using a dark yellow Copic Marker. The wings were die cut from vellum… Then I used a shimmer pen over the top to make the wings look real! These hoops are awesome – and there is no end to what you can put inside!!
Next up is a set of pretty notecards I made with the brand new Stitched Scallops Notecard Die and the brand new Embroidered Blooms Dies!! I am going to be using this notecard die A LOT! I can already tell. It cuts out so nice and crisp and perfect! The folded notes measure 3.75" x 3.75" which I feel is a perfect size! It will fit into an A2 envelope, or be perfect as a gift tie on….
The Embroidered Blooms florals are big and bold, and classic! I used red as my main color and then green, yellow and aqua. Look at the details in the leaves! Oh my. The possibilities are endless….

I used splatters for an artsy feeling and I like the vivid colors here… I think it'd be so pretty in pinks too…
The sentiments are from the Hearts at Home stamp set (which I looooove).

My last card for today features the brand new Floral Sampler Stamps and Dies with a pretty postage theme. My finished card is a horizontal A2 white card base. I layered white, yellow, and gray gingham for a soft look. Instead of stamping the florals, I used the die cuts and cut the outlines from colored cardstock… Then I used the stamps and gold embossed the details. It's kind of cool looking!
Here's a side view of how I layered everything. I accented the florals with stamps and dies from the Pretty Postmarks suite. I attached the flowers and leaves using foam squares for dimension…

I used gray ink to stamp the accent images – to match the subtle gray gingham.
I'm always so very happy for a new release!! That's it for day one of the new release reveals! Be sure to come back tomorrow and I will be sharing three more cards featuring the new items! Yippeeeeeee! What's your favorite thing so far? If you are a seamstress, you are going to LOVE tomorrow's reveals! Can't wait. The new release will be for sale on Friday July 28th at 10am EST!

Adore that you used several older sets to compliment the new one. One of the best things about the release is when we get to see all the designers projects for inspiration. You provided a sewing basket full!
I love it when you (and the other designers) show us ways to stretch our inventory by combining it with new. I would never have thought to incorporate the bee with this collection but it works.
These are amazing!
