Hello, friends! I’ve got a fun project to share with you today for The Greetery. There were so many pretty things in the last release, that I had to keep playing. Here is a sweet ‘thank you’ card I made with the new Bitty Holiday Botanicals stamp, stencil and die, as well as the new Diamond Foliage die.
I love the amount of detail that Diamond Foliage die adds! I die cut that from green card stock and layered it over a soft blue card stock that I die cut with a couple of the Capsule Basics dies. Those are SO fun to use!
PRO TIP: Glue your Diamond pattern and the botanical die cuts in place, and then trim around the edges of the Capsule die cut. That way your pattern continues right off the edge and looks more professional and polished!
I created the sweet banner with the Rosemal Reflections die and a sentiment from Rosemal Reflections Sentiments.
PRO TIP: To help ground the capsule die cut, I added a strip of green card stock between it and and the card base. This helps add some more interest, and helps to visually connect the background with the focal point.
As for all those little flowers and sprigs, I stamped, stenciled and die cut those using the Bitty Holiday Botanicals collection.
PRO TIP: This is another case where adding some shading with colored pencils, can really help to add some life to those little stamped images. I focused the coloring toward the center of the poinsettias and small flowers, and along the bottoms of the berries where they would naturally be more in shadow.

Hopefully, this has given you a bit of inspiration whether it’s the colors or the layout of maybe even the details! Did you get any of these goodies to play with yourself? What are you loving so far?
