Hello, dear friends, and welcome to day 1 of full reveals for the fabulous new Recollective Holiday Collection from The Greetery! I have been busy as a little bee creating all kinds of fun things to share with you over the next three days! You'll want to head to The Greetery Blog for the official "Meet and Greet" for each of the featured products today, but make sure to leave a comment here, and on each designers' blog, for a chance to win one of two $50 gift certificates to the shop!
My first card for today uses the cute and clever new Wrapped in Love stamp/die set! I just love how unique this set is and I'm OBSESSED with the sentiments!
I found a super cute Hallmark collection of wrapping paper that was the inspiration for today's card; sage green, white, red.....just fabulous! I absolutely love how Betsy gave us a stamp for the inside of the wrap with the signature "hallmark" grid lines!
The Wrapped in Love die collection comes with all the little bits and bobs that you will need to bring a "wrapping scene" to life! The scissors are the cutest, and the TAPE....so cute! It's all so well thought out, don't you think? I mentioned the sentiments earlier; I opted for one that focuses on the true meaning of Christmas, but there are SO MANY to choose from! This card also features the fabulous new BotaniCuts Juniper dies!
I made a pair of tags that feature the Wrapped In Love Additions Sentiment stamp set; these are the perfect choice for tags and wraps!!!
These tags also feature the new Juniper as well!
The Wrapped in Love sentiment dies allow you to die cut the word "wrapped" and there is also one for the word "wrapping", but I didn't end up using that one for today!
The Wrapped in Love stamp set comes with quite a few different patterns for your wrapping paper rolls; I'm particularly smitten with the plaid! And can we talk about the little die cut gifts? The cutest!!!
This next pair of cards features another unique and well thought out stamp set called Comfort and Joy. Both cards also feature the new Winterland stamp/die set.
The Comfort and Joy stamp set is a collection of sentiments that are tailored to those celebrating without a loved one during the Christmas season, BUT, there are a few that work well for regular Christmas cards as well.
I love the different sprigs and branches included in the Winterland stamp set!
I heat embossed the sentiment in white and then die cut it using the Winterland dies. I love it when sentiments have coordinating dies!
I had a few sprigs and branches left over from my first card, so I decided to showcase a regular Christmas card that isn't necessarily "sympathy".
I do want to note that I used a fine point brown marker to add the details to the berries.
I added glitter and paint splatter for a snowy, holiday look!
I heat embossed the "sending wishes for" and "at Christmas time" sentiments directly onto the Pinefeather panel and then arranged the foliage under the "comfort and Joy sentiment. I love how the white paint splatter almost gives the illusion of pioneer enamel wear!
My final project for today uses the AMAZING new Big Beautiful Bow die set....I'm absolutely smitten! I can't believe I didn't find more projects to stick a bow on! ha ha! But just wait, I can see a whole collection of Christmas cards using the new Wrapped in Love stamp set and this bow!
I opted for something a little more winter-y and something suitable to use as a thank you card for after Christmas or for an accompaniment to a hostess gift!
I was tempted to use pattern paper for the base to mimic the look of actual wrapping paper, but feared it might look too busy, so instead, I chose to use the beautiful Pine and Berry Background Stamp that was released last year!
I added the die cut bow (very easy to assemble) using liquid glue and foam squares. and then stamped the sentiment in white ink. I also added the die cut "wrapped" sentiment for some dimension. I tucked in a few sprigs from the Winterland stamp set and a few Juniper branches!
I absolutely adore this new collection and I hope you've enjoyed today's featured products! Join me again tomorrow for day 2 of full reveals! Don't forget to head to the other designers' blogs and leave comments there for a chance to be eligible to win one of two gift certificates!
Thanks for fluttering by!
