Warm & Wonderful

When I saw this drink set in the latest release from The Greetery, I knew it was going to live at my house. Who doesn't want a warm & wonderful drink in the fall and winter!

I love these kind of stamp sets that allow you to build dimension and are so expertly designed.

Warm & Wonderful Stamps and Dies

I used Distress Oxide ink for all three of these cards.  

The apple cider drink was stamped with Antique Linen, Brushed Corduroy and Gathered Twigs.

  

I used the Shiplap Builder Die for the background.

The sentiment is in the stamp set.

Warm & Wonderful Stamps and Dies

This cute hot chocolate drink with whip cream and sprinkles was stamped in Brushed Corduroy, Gathered Twigs and Ground Espresso.

I used Arched Nested Dies for the shape and Arched Greetings Stamp Set.

Warm & Wonderful Stamps and Dies

One of each drink is on this card and the colors are the same as above. The sentiment is in the stamp set.

Picked Fresh Basket of Flowers

 Sometimes when I'm stamping, I cut extras for mixing and matching later and I'm often pleasantly surprised at what goes together. The Greetery's Lovely Blossoms and Layered Leaves for instance.  Although you could probably make a bouquet from almost any flower and leaf combo, I wouldn't have necessarily pulled both of these out to make a card. 

The baskets are from the Market Basket Dies.  It is a set of three sizes of baskets, handles and liners.  I've used the medium and small here. I've used the basket liners on this card, because my stems were pretty short, but you can use them with or without.  

Aren't those little handles just the cutest!!

The Picked Fresh sentiment is from the itty bitty Market Basket Sentiments.

Thank You So Very Much

Some of my favorite products from The Greetery are in this card. 

 

I love daisy stamps and I seriously love eucalyptus stamps.  Put them in a good farmhouse pitcher and add a most awesome sentiment set! 

If I put this much time into a card, it has to go to someone who appreciates it! Am I right? 😂

A Wreath of Many Colors

Pastel wreaths, daisies and chocolate bunnies - it must be springtime.

These wreath cards are made in different colors and daisies but have that all important chocolate bunny tucked inside. 

The Oopsie Daisy stamps and dies was my first purchase from The Greetery and remains one of my favorite floral sets.

I used the beautiful delicate Rustic Wreath from The Greetery to make these Easter wreaths.  

The flowers are from the Oopsie Daisy Stamps and Dies.  

Each card has a different embossed background.

Curio Cabinet Card

I had so much fun putting this card together!  

I just got the Curio Divider & Details Die after I saw some super cute projects done with the chocolate dies that The Greetery just released.  I was going to do chocolates and then got to digging through my stash and changed my mind.

There is a lot going on but isn't that what curio cabinets are for? 😁

The frame on the outside is a separate die, I've listed them both below.  It comes with the hinges and the key hole thing.  

I cut the pieces from kraft cardstock and them mounted them on foam tape.

Curio: Divider & Details Die

I used some of the pieces that come in this die, the oval and stamp shaped pieces, one of the paper clips (those things are so cute!) and the bottle with the cork - look at the texture in the cork!

Curio: Cover Die

BotaniCuts Forget-Me-Nots Dies

Some of the other dies I used in the cabinet are these darling BotaniCuts Forget-Me-Nots Dies, Curio: Confections Dies, and the love is from the Let's Have A Word: Love Dies.

The background paper is from the absolutely gorgeous Modern Spring paper pack from Honey Bee Stamps.

Hug In A Mug Ornaments

I joined the Bearly Arts ornament exchange this year, did you?  It's open to all crafters.  

They assign you a partner and you exchange gifts. This is my second year, last year we exchanged small handmade gifts, this year ornaments.

Normally, you would gently pull up on the steam to reveal candies or a small gift in the cup, but I left that out and glued the top closed so I could hang them as ornaments.  I didn't want them to be heavy.

The cup, saucer and cookies are all separate dies in the Hug a Mug Collection.

Cup Hug In A Mug Cup Dies

Saucer Hug In A Mug Saucer Dies

Cookies Hug In A Mug Sweet Treats Dies

Stamp set Hug In A Mug Holiday Stamp Set

The napkin under each saucer is the Cozy Cup Coaster Die

I put fake little chocolate shaving on the top. 

What do you think; would you make these for ornaments?  Honestly they are so stinking cute, I'm going to make a few more for me!
