Hi friends! Welcome back to Day Two of festivities for the new release from The Greetery! The Winter Wanderer Collection will be available to purchase on Friday the 27th! But…we have one more day today filled with inspiration from the design team. How did you like yesterday's reveals?? Well, if you liked yesterday, you're gonna love today! LOTS more new stamps and dies sure to spark your creativity. Today really hits hard on the Boho Chic theme – and pretty, feminine designs with just the right amount of trendiness!! Oh, and as a person of a certain age (ahem) I am truly loving the 70's vibe of it all!! I am sharing three more cards today, so grab a cuppa and let's go through them!
This first card is an odd size – I trimmed it to fit my design. The final card is 6.25" x 4" and is a kraft card base with rounded corners. I used the following new products for this card: Hoop Wreath Stamp Set, Macrame Borders, Boho Banner, and Opposites Attract! I created a pretty 'wall' hanging in boho shades of aqua, cream and pink…
The background leaves/spray is the stamp from yesterday's reveal of the Hoop Wreath set! I used Versamark Ink and stamped directly onto the kraft card base to add just a little bit of a subtle design behind my boho banner. I used a brad from my stash to act as the nail for the wall hanging!
The Boho Banner die set has all these pretty pieces! The banner, the stick, the fringe, the feathers…and MORE! The creative possibilities are endless!! I wanted two feathers at the bottom of my banner so I used a jump ring to attach them there in the center. I used gold paint to paint on top of the teal feather and also splashed gold paint everywhere on my card.
I used the Macrame Borders to add some interest to the top of the banner! Everything is cream cardstock for more of a jute/cord feeling and color. The awesome sentiment is from the Opposites Attract stamp/die set. I loooooove it.
Next up is the card I had the most fun creating! I really went outside the box with this one. The finished card is a green A2 card base. I am very partial to green and kraft together. I then did a cream layer, and on top a kraft layer. I used the previously released small Terrarium Die to make my idea come to life…
I learned to macramé with my mom in the 70's and it was so much fun. The main thing we made were those pretty plant hangers!! Then, of course, we put Spider Plants in all of them! Do you remember that?? Well, that was the first thing that popped in my mind. And I thought….hmmm…. How can I make a Spider Plant?? The idea came to me! I used the second layer of the flowers stamps from the Hoop Wreath and Bigger Blooms sets! I stamped just those parts, in green, and then cut them out by hand. Voila! Spider Plants! Are you feeling me with this idea?? After I cut them out I layered them in staggered sizes. I also mixed in some greens from the Caring Cross stamp set.
This sentiment is the most perfect thing for this card! I used my MISTI to get a nice deep brown impression and then die cut it out with the matching die. So fabulous. Here's a side view so you can see the layers.
I die cut the terrarium out of gold paper. I used a bit of twine at the top to add a bit of softness.
Here's a close up of that pretty border…
And my final card for release week features the gorgeous Bigger Blooms stamps and dies along with the Simply Wonderful stamps and dies. The finished card is an A2 white card base.
I heat embossed the sentiment with gold embossing powder and die cut it out with that precise matching die. I set that aside… I stamped lots of blooms and leaves in bright, happy colors…
To put the card together, I first attached the Wonderful word and then stamped the "have a" and "birthday" in black ink on the top and bottom. Then I attached the flowers in a frame around the words. I used scissors to trim off the extra parts of the flowers that were hanging over the edge. I really love this look.
I talked about the new Speed Tagging papers in my post last week, but here's a reminder of something extra that's part of this release! Pens and papers! OOOH LA LA!!
