The Greetery

Bunny Kisses

Happy Sunday everyone!

It’s been a while since I played along with the Can You Handle the Pressure challenge, but as I was able to craft a lot this weekend, I decided to join in with the current challenge which has the optional twist of Easter

I’ve been excited to play with the cute Bunny Kisses die set by The Greetery and today was the day! I coloured the images with distress ink and added a little mini pompom to the bunny. I embossed some light pink cardstock with a Spellbinders embossing folder and assembled my little scene on a panel cut from an older My Favorite Things Die-Namics set. The grass is cut with a Lawn Fawn die.

The sentiment is by Clearly Besotted.

Blue, rust and brown bouquet

 

Happy Saturday  everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the Color Throwdown which has a fabulous combo of blue, rust and brown. It’s all change at my favourite colour challenge this week as the team welcome the talented Kelly! The team is always pretty stable but somehow I missed the farewell to Barbara, I loved her amazing takes on the colours. Many congrats Kelly on joining the amazing DT!

Last week I received and played with the amazing Spring Meadow stencil set by The Greetery. I enjoyed playing with it so much, I was determined to play with it again, although I surprised myself by reaching for it again so soon! I thought it might work well with this combo? What do you think? I used three shades of blue and added rust/brown to the flower centres, although I did use black for the darkest flowers.

The background embossing folder is by Spellbinders and the sentiment is by Clearly Besotted.

Happy Mother’s Day 2023!

Hi everyone!

Next up is one of the cards I gave to my lovely mum today!

I used the amazing Spring Meadow stencil set and matching die by The Greetery for this card. I have to say the stencil set works perfectly and meant this was a very quick and easy make! I’m looking forward to using this with different colour combos!

Colourful crocus card

Happy Monday everyone!

Today I’m playing along the Color Throwdown which has a fabulous palette of mustard, pink and green! Perfect for a flowery card.

After playing around with daisies, I landed on The Greetery’s crocus die set which I coloured with regular distress inks. I cut a circle from a panel using a die by Penny Black adhered it to a card base that I’d inked up. To complete my card I added a Pretty Pink Posh sentiment and a few Memory Box butterflies.

Wrens say hello

Hello everyone and Happy New Year!

And also, welcome to Lucieg’s Adventures with a Light Tent! Today, I played around with the white balance on my DSLR and also the backdrops. I’m happier with the photos I took today, but I think I still have a way to go…. it will be a process.

Anyway, on to my card…. today I’m playing along in the Freshly Made Sketches AND using up a few unused new purchases from 2022!

Last year, I bought the beautiful Robin and Wren layered stamp set by The Greetery – which I planned to use a lot in the run up to Christmas, but life got in the way! However, I finally got to play with the set between Christmas and the New Year – I’m so grateful that Betsy, The Greetery’s owner, shared some tips about how to set up the images – once they were all set up in my Misti, I could just play with various different colour combos. So. Much. Fun!

I chose a couple of the birds for my take on the sketch plus some die cut Greetery Nordic Circles and a fun Honey Bee branch. I adhered all my die cuts to a panel that I had embossed with the Simon Says Stamp Delicate Pine folder and added a Sugar Pea Designs sentiment to complete my card.

Thanks for stopping by!
