Good morning my dear crafty friends! Something fabulous starts today! There’s a NEW release from The Greetery this week! Summer 2026 is happening! The new release is called La Dolce Vita – the sweet life! Think of an Italian Summer in a gorgeous villa….Think lemons, and pretty tiles, and flowers and and and tomatoes! Oh and sardines! This Italian motif/theme is really in right now, and of course, Betsy knocked it out of the park with new supplies for us. Totally on trend and modern! Stamps, Stencils, Dies, and MORE! Everything is evocative of a beautiful country life. I think you’re going to love it too! The design team will be showcasing our projects today and tomorrow and then release day will be Friday, July 10th at 10am EST. I have been so anxious to share everything with you! Three projects today, and three more tomorrow! WOOT! I’m hoping to inspire you and make you smile! Let’s get started, shall we! Ciao!

My first card for today features the brand new Citrus Fields Stamps, dies, stencils and embossing folder!! You can combine the elements however it suits you. I used the embossing folder (gorgeous) and the stencils for the background and then the dies for my accent. This card also features a brand new sentiment set!! My finished card is an A7 card (5×7) made from white cardstock. I stenciled that big background image and then embossed it after. I trimmed it down to fit the card front. I didn’t want too much over the top of it – wanted the embossing to show! I used a vellum strip, a lemon, and a sentiment to finish it off. One word comes to mind – FRESH! You can see all my supplies and ink shades listed in the supplies for today!

In this side view you can see that beautiful detail in the embossing. Dang, this is pretty!! It matches up so perfectly with the images… And I adore that beautiful lemon color palette. Now I am craving a Limoncello!

Okay, so this next card has a weird? FUN theme – sardines! Hee hee. Sardines are ON TREND so much right now – those cute beaded purses, and tshirts, and home decor. Who thought we would be making sardine cards?? Well, lemme tell ya – it’s SUPER cute! I had the most fun making this card! So many colors and pieces.

This card features the brand new Canned Dies, the brand new Ciao Bella Borders, and MORE! I even threw in some lemons. LOL. So this card opens and I made the card in the shape of the largest sardine tin die. It will fit into an A2 envelope. I chose all the fun happy Summer colors for this card. You could use a totally different color palette and make it super masculine too. So many different options here! I die cut out all the pieces and laid my card design out, then I inked and shaded everything and added enamel dots and splatters and glitter (oh my)…. The matching sentiments are SO perfect for this set!!

Here’s a side view – I attached two of the same background pieces to make it open – but you could definitely attach it to front of an A2 card as well. I used lots of foam tape to pop everything off the page…

The little fishies were so fun to make. I die cut them from blue cardstock and then inked blue ink on the top of their bodies and I inked white pigment ink onto the bottom of their bodies! Turned out cute! A little bit of glitter to make them look wet and shiny! The lemons and the flowers are from the new Citrus Fields Die set.

My final card for today features the brand new Coastal Cuttings floral dies and the brand new Checks out Dies! A brand new lovely floral to add to our Greetery collection – awesome! My finished card is an A2 white card base, layered with aqua and then the Checks Out die over the top in white. I also added a layer of vellum to make it pretty! I again used those fresh Summer colors and enjoyed the process of gluing the pretty flowers together… And another gorgeous sentiment too! Looks like you could just pick the wildflowers in the Italian countryside….

    Hi, Wanda –
    You are at the top of your game. The use of vellum is exceptional, the colors you chose are brilliant and show a real understanding of color and its effects. I love the lemon card – it is a stunner – and I also think the other two cards are fantastic. The fish one made me smile and I love the blue checkerboard background on the floral card. Wow, you have left me breathless for a bit!

    Hello Wanda. Your Coastal Cuttings card is beautiful. The checkered background die is perfect for it. Your Citrus Fields card is absolutely gorgeous. I love the blue and yellow shades you used. The embossing folder gives so much detail. Your Sardine card is just too cute. I feel like I should be sitting by the blue waters of the Amalfi Coast.

    Vellum and white splatter – I saw these used and made a note to myself that I need to use these more on cards! Then I saw the lemons with sardines. I had to stop a minute to ponder that mixture, but visually it works so well! I think that card challenged and inspired me the most with the unexpected. Thank you for sharing!

    Those sardines and the cans are such fun! Love how the can is opened, etc.

    I love your use of bold color and high contrast combinations. The sardines shades of blue are so appealing, and combining the sunny yellow of the lemons with a pink bloom is so perfect.
