The Greetery – These are the Days Collection – Day One!

Hello, my creative, talented and crafty friends! It's going to be a great day today, because I'm here to tell you about a NEW RELEASE from The Greetery! The new release is called These are the Days! It's calendar/planner themed – which is so perfect and fun. Are you a planner girlie? I am! And Betsy has created a suite of products for us the use to make our own calendars and also calendar themed cards and planners. I love this idea so much and I know you will too. One of the best parts of the new release is a collection of florals called Birth Month Blooms. There are flowers for every month of the year and corresponding words that make gorgeous botanical projects! SO much good stuff. 

This month only has one release day – today – and the entire team will be sharing our projects and the new products on our blogs. TOMORROW is release day and the release will be available for shopping at 10am – July 30th! 

SHOP THE NEW RELEASE TUESDAY JULY 30TH AT 10AM EST! 

I will be sharing three projects today – two cards, and a calendar!! Loads of beautiful inspiration from the entire design team today. 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 is a special birthday card – and I used the calendar items to show the recipients birthday! This card features the brand new Calendar Basics stamp set, and the brand new Birth Month Q2 stamps and dies. My finished card is an A2 cream card base, layered with some pretty rose gingham. I wanted a bit of a vintage feel to this card – with the roses and the gold….

I started by stamping two gorgeous rose clusters using pink and green inks. (THESE ARE MY FAVORITE INK PADS FOR 2/3 STEP STAMPING) I die cut the roses using the matching dies. I stamped the vertical calendar grid in black.

Here's a close up of the beautiful roses stamps! I splattered gold paint on them too!

The roses were affixed to the calendar using foam tape. I heat embossed happy birthday in gold, and circled my friend's birthday date!  This is a GREAT way to mark a special date – birthday, wedding, anniversary, Christmas….by circling it on the grid! Love this!

My next project is a lovely 2025 calendar! Gosh I really really like this concept! There are new Pre-Printed calendars that you can decorate as gifts or for your own desk. I used the 2025 calendar and decorated each page using the new preprinted monthly flowers!!! This is awesome. The Spiral die cut cuts out holes at the top of the calendar and then you use the binding to wind it through the holes to make it able to flip!! Betsy thought of everything. I'm going to show you a few of the pages….

For each page, I die cut a kraft rectangle and stamped the name of the flower onto it. I then die cut out the preprinted flowers for each month… My first thought for this project was mass production as friend gifts – so I went with the preprinted florals instead of stamping them – much faster!!

On each page I used Stickles glitter glue to add little bits of shimmer and shine. I also splattered white paint onto each rectangle.

My final project for today is a card made using the brand new Birth Month Q3 stamps and dies, and the new Spiral Bound Die…. The sentiment is from the brand new One Fine Day stamp set.  I used pretty shades of yellow and magenta and a bit of ink blending. My finished card is an A2 white card base….

I stamped and die cut out the Aster florals – soooo pretty! Here is a side view of my card layers. (THESE ARE MY FAVORITE INK PADS FOR 2/3 STEP STAMPING)

I die cut a scalloped rectangle and ink blended just the top part using bright yellow ink… The lovely sentiment is heat embossed with gold and then die cut with the matching die.
