The Greetery (Love Letters P.S. Collection} Day 1

Hello friends and welcome to day 1 of full reveals fo rhte Love Letters P.S. Collection from The Greetery! I'm absolutely smitten with this release and I hope you all love it as much as I do. I have three projects to share with you today, but first a few items of business; you can head to The Greetery Blog for the official "meet and greet" for each of the new products. Also, make sure to leave a comment here, and on each of the designers' blogs, for a chance to win one of two $50 gift certificates to the shop!

My first card for today features the fabulous new Sent with Love product suite and the new Airmail Border stencil. I can't tell you how much fun I had putting these tiny envelopes and notes together! 

To begin, I took some time to work on all of the little floral clusters you see on this card, and peppered throughout other projects for this release. I used the Winter Medley Die to die cut all of the pieces out of white cardstock (three times each) and then used Distress Oxide inks and finger daubers to color them. I used my foam mat and fine-tip stylus to give them realistic shape. I also used a fine-tip Sharpie pen to add a dot of black to the centers of each flower for dimension and detail.

Once I had all of my floral clusters and leaves, I die cut all of the pieces from the Sent With Love die collection; so many fun bits and bobs! I used gold cardstock for the scissors, stamp handle, sealing wax,  and the nib of the fountain pen and lid detail. I used the cute Screw-top Mini Brads to put the scissors together. Because only one side is glued down, you can actually open and close the scissors, although I don't know if the recipient will know that! ha ha!

One of my favorite details, besides the scissors, is the envelop liner you can add to the open envelope. I chose to die cut it from pattern paper to give it a bit more detail. That being said, the Sent With Love sentiment set has a stamped liner so you can stamp it if you choose. 

For the background, I used the Airmail Border Stencil, the previously released Spring Meadow Background Stamp and then a layer using the Postal Frames Die to layer all of the cute envelopes and notes on! I added glitter to the floral clusters and leaves for added detail!

My second project for today is a box using the new Four Square Valentine Tags stamp set and die! This coordinates with the previously released Four Square Tags Die + Guide.

To begin, I assembled the box, first die cutting the pieces using the Stationery Box Die. I also added a contrasting strip to the front using the Ribbon Maker: Scalloped Hearts die

Once that was done, I had fun making the tag. As you can see, I snuck in a few of the sweet details from the Sent With Love die set AND a few more floral clusters. 

The stamp image and post card image are from the new Postal Modern stamp and die set and you will be seeing A LOT more of that between today and tomorrow! ha ha! 

I love all of the different fonts and sentiments included in the new tag set!

My third and final card for today uses the new Flourished Phrases Hello product suite. There is also a Flourished Phrases Love suite as well, and I'll be sharing another project tomorrow using that, but some of the other designers have used it today, so make sure to stop at their blogs as well! 

This suite of products works like the Plaid Tidings products that were released this past Christmas. I absolutely LOVE the results and can't wait to make all kinds of cards using the stencils and dies!

I used the Airmail Border stencil again AND more elements from both the Postal Modern stamp set and the Sent With Love die set.

I tucked a few floral clusters and leaves here and there for added detail! Of course a sprinkle of glitter was in order!

Well, that finishes up day 1, but join me again tomorrow for day 2; you won't want to miss it! Head to the other designers' blogs to leave a comment to be eligible to win one of the two gift certificates!

Kelly (you are here)
