The Greetery-Icing Collection

November 26, 2024

Hi there! Today I’m excited to share several projects showcasing the gorgeous new Icing Collection by The Greetery.
First up is a project featuring the Nordic Tree. For the background I used the Ribbon Frame and for the sentiment I used the Scripted Holiday Sentiments.

I also created a tag using the Nordic Tree die. It’s a perfect fit for a tall tag.

This card features the Nordic Birds. The detail is incredible! Of course I had to stack them in rainbow order. I used the Ribbon Maker: Crystal Strand Die to emboss the snowflake texture along the sides of the card. For the sentiment I used the Winter Crest set.

Next is the Inside & Out Holiday Tags. This is such a fun stamp that allows you to create eight tags at once. Here I embossed in gold, stamped tone on tone and black on cream for three different variations.

The Greetery-Inside & Out Holiday Tags

I used the new Ornamental Tags Die Set to create these individual tags. I also added some shading using the Inside & Out Tags Stencil. I felt pretty good about myself when my daughter walked in, saw these tags and said, “Mom, these are giving Anthropology!” I’ll take it!

Here is a tag on a small gift box. I used the Ribbon Maker: Crystal Strand Die with vellum to create a wrap for the box. I added the leaves using the Large Leaves: Magnolia Die.

Next up is the Frost Buds Die Set. This is so pretty in vellum. I used the Crystal Sequin mix to add some sparkly embellishments. For the sentiment I used the Scripted Holiday Sentiments embossed in silver and the tiny banner sentiment is white embossed on vellum.

This next card uses the Frost Buds again along with the Scripted Holiday Sentiments. I love the subtle Nectar background for this.

And lastly, but probably my favorite are these adorable Hey Honeycomb dies along with the colorful Honeycomb Balls Party Mix. I created these tags using some pattern paper and the Hey Honeycomb Holiday Stamp Set for the sentiments.

Manger Scene

November 12, 2024

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a cute little holiday card using the adorable Manger Scene Die Set by Erin Lee Creative. I created a circle frame using a nested circle die with white cardstock onto a cream base. For the sentiment I used the Vintage Christmas Stamp Set with black ink. I curved the sentiment using my MISTI so that it followed the curve of the design.
