Hi there! Today I’m excited to join my incredibly talented friend, Betsy Veldman, as she launches her brand new company, The Greetery. Today is Launch Week Day 3 and we are featuring the BotiniCuts Succulents, Terrarium dies, Sentiment Suite: Thinking of You + Basics dies.
For my succulents I used Distress Oxides and flicked on some liquid watercolors for added texture. I used the Terrarium die with gold foil cardstock. For the sentiment I used the Sentiment Suite: Thinking of You.
The Greetery shop will go live at 10am ET on Friday, April 26, which is when the products will go up for sale.
Check out these talented designers to see more inspiration with these new products from The Greetery.
