I'm so glad you've stopped by today! Today is day 1 of the AMAZING new Fresh Air collection from The Greetery! I've had so much fun with this entire collection, and each day you will find something more to love! Up first is a fun collection of products that you're sure to love. I made quite a few cards for today's countdown because these little cars, flowers, balloons, etc. are just so much fun to create with! I'm also wanting to send out even more cards with the world the way it is right now; how about you? I sent out about 20-30 cards last week and I sure hope they brought cheer to the recipients! Before I dive into each card, you'll want to make sure to head to each of the designers' blogs to see how they've used these fun new products! Don't forget to leave a comment here for a chance to win a $50 gift certificate to The Greetery shop!
Betsy has made this fun new set so versatile; you can stamp the outline around the card, leave it solid, or just use the outline and color it with your medium of choice. For my cards today, I used the solid images paired with the outline and just the solid image by itself on one further down. I also used the new Painterly Stripes background stamp to create all of the fun backgrounds for today's cards.
Another thing that I love about this new stamp set is that each of the sentiments has a coordinating die so you can die cut them to add anywhere on your design. The new Silver Lining die makes creating clouds a cinch as well!
For this card, I used both the flower image and the balloon image to really make the card fun!
I'm late to the party, but I've added some color penciled details to the flowers and the balloons on the pink card. I love the extra bit of dimension that it gives!
To begin, I just sat down and started stamping the bugs in an assortment of cheery colors! It is so fun to watch them come to life as each image is added!
I added some ink blending around the clouds on this design and only used diagonal stripes from the background stamp rather than turning it again to get the cross hatch design.
I just used black cardstock and pattern paper to give the look of the road.
You can see the difference between the stripes above and the plaid on this card.
This card just uses the solid images and I popped the cute little driver inside as well. Isn't she just the cutest?
I layered the clouds and card onto a pink piece that was die cut using the Postal Frames dies. You will see in the coming days that these have been my "go-t0" frame! LOL!
I added some Crystal Glaze and Wink of Stella over the top of the balloons for some extra detail and shine. I had so much fun working on all of these cards for today's countdown! I can't wait to pop them in the mail soon! Join me again tomorrow for day 2 of the countdown!
You are so talented! Thank you for brightening my day.
