Well, howdy hello hi friends! It's a VERY exciting day around here! It's time for a brand new wonderful release from The Greetery! Yep! It's Greetery Release Week! YAY! The design team will be sharing products and products today and tomorrow and then the new release will be available for shopping on Thursday the 29th at 10am EST! I bet you are as happy as I am! The new release is called Spring Fling! I'm absolutely ready for Spring crafting – flowers, and baskets and pretty fonts, and of course Easter! Colors are turning to pastels and pinks and yellows and themes are turning towards renewal. Nothing better than that after a long winter. So glad you're here to join me today!
SHOP THE NEW RELEASE THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 29TH AT 10AM EST!
I will be sharing three cards today, and three cards tomorrow. Lots of inspiration from the entire team. My supplies, prize information, and links to everyone's blogs are all at the bottom of this post. Let's get started!
My first card today features the brand new, fabulous, Seagrass Basket Dies! This card also features A LOT of my past favorites from The Greetery – all to make a pretty and festive Easter Basket. The new Seagrass Basket is perfect for holding anything – and any theme! Flowers fit inside, and Easter goodies, and maybe some leaves at Autumn…the possibilities are endless. My finished card is an A2 white card base, layered with gingham and then my focal elements.
The Seagrass Die is very creative and innovative! There are four pieces – two parts of the basket, the handle, and the label. To put the two parts of the basket together you can just glue them together, or you can weave them together first. I chose to weave the basket parts together. Here's a close up! I inked the edges and splattered on white paint to look like an antique basket.
After I made my basket, I went through my Greetery stash looking for all the Easter things to put inside! Some carrots, sugared eggs, Easter grass, and of course a chocolate bunny! (Supplies are all listed at the bottom of my post!) To make the chocolate bunny, I die cut the bunny from brown cardstock and then used UTEE clear embossing to make him look like chocolate – nice and shiny!!
I made a big pink loopy bow and die cut out eggs from pastel colors and coated them in glitter…. All the Easter colors!!
I stamped one of the new sentiments from the brand new Easter Morning Sentiments set onto the label. See that sweet little curve detail on it? Love.
My next card features the brand new Botanicuts Lilacs dies! OOOOHHHHH MYYYYYY GOODNESS! These are awesome! I love Lilacs, don't you? Now we can make our own! This card also features the brand new All Occasion Script stamp set and some Greetery favorites too. My finished card is an A2 kraft card base layered with lots of layers of watercolor paper. More of a vintage vibe….
I die cut the Lilacs dies from watercolor paper and then colored them using Distress Inks and water. I used lots of different shades of greens and purples to make a softer effect. Once it was all dry, I glued on the extra flowers and then added pretty purple pearls (say that three times fast!)
Just a note! This is the perfect all occasion card…
I stamped pretty writing and postmarks onto my die cut panels for interest. I used waterproof deep black ink for a good contrast.
My final card for today features the brand new Spring Snowdrops Dies!! Gosh, just when I think Betsy can't invent more gorgeous florals….She makes Snowdrops! SO fresh and pretty! This set is unique in that it comes with stamps and stencils! The white and green portion is a stencil!! Then you stamp the green accent and the floral accent parts. LOVE. My finished card is an A2 kraft card base…
I used the Woven Cane background die in kraft over white as my background. I used the beautiful A2 Arches dies to make the green and kraft layers on which to place my Snowdrops.
To make the Snowdrops I stenciled the greens and then used white pigment ink to stencil the flowers. I love the look of white ink over kraft paper – it's a favorite technique. I die cut out the flowers using the matching die. I added white splatters and also some Diamond Stickles to look like they were fresh from the morning dew….
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! XOXO

The woven background really makes the flowers pop. Cannot wait for this release.
Oh my goodness, so gorgeous!
Your cards are beautiful. I too love the lilac die. It looks so real.
Fun cards! Thank you!
Great cards and great ideas! I love how you pull from past releases and add them into new products!
Beautiful cards Wanda! I too love me some lilac! Your card made me want to sniff to smell them. 🤣
Oh I love that you made that woven seagrass basket into an Easter one–how clever–it’s lovely! Your Postage Lilac creation is so striking–love the layers too! And your sweet Snowdrops card–looooooove the colors! This is a fabulous Spring Post!
As ever, I just love your cards, they are all beautiful
What a brilliant idea for the Easter basket card! And your snow drops card made my jaw drop and hit the floor!
Wanda, you knocked it out of the park today! Love each of your cards, but the Easter basket card is simply perfect. Enjoy seeing the mix of older products with the new ones.
Wanda, these are little works of art!
I liked your Easter basket…and the lilac card is lovely.
Oh my gosh!!! I love the Easter basket!! So cute!! All of your cards are works of art!!
These cards are so, so beautiful, Wanda! I’m loving this basket and your theme of Easter with the eggs is fabulous! This basket is a MUST HAVE!!!! I’m loving those lilacs, as well. Beautiful, Beautiful floral cards.
Such a sweet collection. You’ve done it justice!!
Love to use the basket in a different way. I thought you’d moved onto another stamped initially. He really showed its versatility. Those lilacs are outstanding. The color makes me think you can reach out and touch them because they look so real. The last card is simply beautiful too. The water drops on the card. Great idea. Such, such beautiful cards.
Fun and beautiful cards, Wanda, thanks for sharing your wonderful creations!
Wanda, These cards are beautiful! The Easter basket is so sweet!

I love the details on your snowdrop card. Such pretty cards using this release!
Beautiful creations for day 1, Wanda! I especially love the beautiful shades in the lilac die!
Super cute “Easter Basket” card, Wanda – but your Lilac card is over the top gorgeous!
Oh Wanda- so pretty! The vintage in me just adores your lilacs card! Your creations are ALWAYS lovely!!!
One word–gorgeous!
WOW!!! SUPER CREATIVE, Wanda! LOVE the little Easter Basket you’ve done, & the Lilac’s card is a SURE WIN; & the way you did your third card & the colors you used on it is LOVELY! WHAT A SUPER JOB!!! 😉
Wanda, all your cards are stunning. It’s that postage feel with the lilacs that really is special. Love all your cards!

The seagrass basket DOES make a perfect Easter basket!!! So clever!!! Your lilac card is absolutely amazing!!! Total perfection! And the snowdrops stenciled on kraft?!?!!! Wow!!! So fantastic!!
You sold me on the snowdrops card! Using kraft paper to stencil/stamp on and also as backdrop for the flower made the ‘edges’ disappear. It is wonderful and I’ll always keep that trick in my ideas tool box – brilliant.
Great cards and lovely Easter Basket!! That lilac card is a winner!!
I love your Easter basket! So cute! Your other cards are lovely too
Great ideas, love the cane background with the snowdrops. Thanks for the inspiration!
Absolutely gorgeous cards! Makes me think spring is actually coming!

That bunny basket could not be anymore charming! Love it. And your snowdrops are so pretty!
Love how you filled your cute Easter basket and used one of my favorites- the Woven Cane for a background. Lovely work!

SO glad that you are part of Betsy’s team for you create such beauty.
Cute and pretty cards for Spring.
Great use for the basket. I love the woven cane background on your snow drop card.
Wanda, you put a great smile on my face. The bunny with all the Easter goodies is darling. I wasn’t expecting that. Love the flowers too and the fact that you mixed old and new products. Also, like that you used a kraft colored background for all three cards to change up the look and the diamond stickles on the snowdrops to resemble morning dew is genius. Fantastic job!
What an absolutely BEAUTIFUL post Wanda!! You have made this new release SHINE and all 3 of your cards are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! Your Easter basket card with all the goodies in it has me so excited as I have all those stamps and dies, and I love it when I can go back and play with them again with something new…thank you so much for the inspiration! Your Lilac card and the Snowdrop cards are both SOOOOOOO pretty too and I may be drooling a little bit over here! Thank you for celebrating Spring so beautifully today…I’ve loved it all!! Hugs. :0)
Your splatters, stickles, and dew drops on your snowdrops cars are P E R F E C T❣️
WOW… Spring is on it’s way! Loving those lilacs and the new to me snowdrops! Plus the gorgeous sea grass basket. I am trying to be good here. But this release is making me WEAK. Nicely done. TFS
My word, Wanda! Your first image is really cute – love the egg colors! Love the bunny and basket, too. I ADORE your second card – so super-gorgeous! I love lilacs and this one looks realistic. And your snowdrops are stunning, too. WOW – Welcome to the house of Wanda where everything looks like it was shot for Vogue and made by magical sprites!

Wonderful cards as always Wanda! The Easter basket is adorable and I love the way you used the woven cane background with the snowdrops. Lilacs are my favorite flower so, of course, that’s my favorite card. Love all the texture you added with the postage stamps and dies. Postal themes are also a favorite of mine. Thanks for all the amazing inspiration!
Oh my goodness Wanda! Everything you make puts a smile on my face. I so love what you did with this release. The lilacs bring back happy memories from childhood and I love how you layered up that background so subtly but with such impact. The basket is so versatile with all of the different sprigs and blooms that could be added but you went above and beyond with this fun and adorable Easter display of vibrant color. The Snowdrops are so pretty and I love how you did them on Kraft card and that background…perfection!
Wanda, you’re a genius!!! I love all your cards. So beautiful and really showcases this release.
Your cards are so beautiful with all the details, your chocolate bunny is a favorite!
Wow, you and Betsy know how to bring on spring! The flowers are so beautifully done and look so vintage. I want to thank you for using past release dies to show how nicely they can blend with older sets.
What a sweet Easter card.
I’m just in love with the basket and what’s in it! Lovely, all, Wanda!
Wonderful cards! I can’t wait to get the sets! I will try the chocolate bunny look. That is genius!
You never cease to amaze me with your creativity! Beautiful job on all the cards!
