The Greetery {Hint of Autumn} Day 1

It's always a good day when you're introducing a new release from The Greetery! This collection is called Hint of Autumn and it is just lovely; full of wonderful basics that will transcend beyond autumn and of course, beautiful stamps and dies that hint of the upcoming season!

Make sure to head to The Greetery Blog for the official "meet and greet" and leave a comment there, and on each of the designers' blogs (mine included} for a chance to win on of two $50 gift certificates to the shop!

My first card is a shaped card using the beautiful new Capsule Basics Die. This coordinating with the new Capsule Borders 1 Hot Foil that I have also used on this card.  Please note: this is  A LARGE card. This will be perfect to layer onto a 5 by 7 card base if you aren't doing a shaped card. My next card shows how it looks.

Of course there are multiple sizes included in this nested dies and hot foil assortment. 

Now, the star of the show on this card is the beautiful new Capsule Cameos: Autumn Stamp Set and Die. I just love how you can layer the two images to create this scene.

The sentiment is heat embossed in gold and then die cut using the Capsule Cameos Sentiments Die.

I was thrilled with how beautifully the Capsule Borders 1 hot foil comes out! This is one of the hot foil collections that I will be using again and again, all year long!

Please note: the Capsule Cameos: Autumn Die only cuts out the middle of the design, so you will need to use it on the center of a card or use one of the Capsule Basics Die to use it like I have here.

For the shaped base, which you actually can't see, I folded a 5 by 7 card and then used the Capsule Basics Die just overlapping the fold. I glued the focal background piece onto the shaped base. 

My next card is the same size, but added to a 5 by 7 card base. This card features the Thankful and Blessed stamp+ Stencil & die. It is so lovely and I just love everything about it!

For this card, I placed a 5 by 7 panel of Vintage Cream cardstock into my MISTI and used the 3 step stencil collection to do add the flowers and leaves. Once that was done, I used the coordinating stamp to add the stems and darker leaves.

 I used the coordinating size of die from the Capsule Basics die to cut it out. I set it aside to do some additional foiling and die cutting.

I used Stormy Sea cardstock for the biggest layer and the sentiment layer. I just love the foiling paired with the scalloped die.

I heat embossed the "gather and give thanks" portion of the sentiment and then cut it out using the Thankful and Blessed die.

The "Let us" and "For the Lord is Good" portion of the sentiment is stamped directly on the panel and then I layered the die cut sentiments using small bits of foam tape. There are a few little stems and sprigs included in the stamp/die set so I added those to frame the sentiment. It is all layered onto a 5 by 7 card base using foam squares.

I also wanted to show you how nicely these basics work with everyday cards as well. This card features the beautiful and versatile new Capsule Collection Floral Borders Stamp Set. This does not include a die because the Capsule Collection Basics Die has the dies that work.

There are also some beautiful all-occasion sentiments included in the stamp set; I chose Thanks so much!

I can't seem to stop with this particular bouquet! ha ha! This one is the Best Bouquet and it truly is, the best!

This almost has a German or Swiss look when it was all said and done!

This photo helps you see some of the gorgeous layers and foiling a little bit better.

I hope you've enjoyed today's post! Join me again tomorrow for day 2 of full reveals! Don't forget to visit and comment on the other designers' blogs for a chance to win one of 2 gift certificates! Thanks for fluttering by!
