Welcome to Day 1 of The Greetery’s Calico Fields Collection! You’re going to feel all of the delightful “Fall Feels” with this amazing collection of creativeness. Let’s get started.
My first card today uses the sweet new Autumn Bliss Stamp + Cut Combo, the Patchwork die (in the background), and the gorgeous Jumbo Curiosity Buckeye Leaf die. I adore the Patshwork die and the grid feel of it. I stamped my Autumn Bliss images in each square and topped it with my sentiment, heat embossed in gold on vellum.
The Jumbo Curiosity Buckeye Leaf die is irresistible! I cut one from vellum and layered it under my top leaf. This leaf, I sponged with autumn colors, spritzed with water, then Distress spray, and lastly, coated it with Crackle Paste and let it dry, so the crackle magic could happen. I then topped it with torn trimmings and a wooden button.
This next card uses the delightful, new Warm & Wonderful stamp set and dies. This set has me dreaming of steaming hot cocoa and apple cider with cinnamon. I can almost smell them now!
I carried the berries and pine sprigs theme through from my cup of apple cider, to the corners of my card, and into the inside of my card. These images are so much fun to use as embellishments and create such beauty in an instant!
The sentiment on my card can be found on the inside, and is such a sweet one, don’t you think? I love this time of year, and this sentiment expresses it in such a creative way.
Lastly, I used the new Bushel Basket Die, the BotaniCuts Apple Die, and adorable Print Shop: Calico stamp and stencil combo. You’ll adore this darling background combination for sure! Such a fun way to create custom patterned paper that resembles fabric.
I combined the older Bountiful Wreath stamp set and dies behind my bushel and for my sentiments. I love how Betsy’s sets work so well together. Here you can see a bit of the Calico stamp…I used ink and my colored pencils to create my stamped and stenciled background.
The sweet Bushel Basket die comes with everything you need to create the cutest bushel you’ll ever see. I love the slats, metal rings that hold it together, the tiny handles, and the wooden bracket/plate you can attach to the front with a sentiment, images, or die cut. I sponged my BotaniCuts Apple dies with ink, spritzed them with water to create a soft, watercolor look, and nestled them inside my bushel with blossoms and leaves.
All of these new products will be available on September 8th, at 10AM EST at The Greetery.
