Novelties & Nativities

Hi there! Today I’m joining The Greetery to introduce the new Novelties & Nativities Collection.

All of these new products with be available to shop at The Greetery on Thursday, October 29th.
I will update this post with the new product links when they become available!

The Greetery-Capsule Nativity Scene, Laid Back Holiday

This first set of cards uses the new Capsule Nativity Scene die.
Clearly I couldn’t stop. I kept wanting to try another color combination.
This first card uses (background to for front)Almond, Sand, Peanut, Pistachio, Artichoke & Evergreen. I also used white glitter cardstock behind the rays and Rose Gold for the star.
I added some sprigs from the Berry Bouquet Builder die & a red bow from the Regency Bow No. 2 die.
All of these cards are shape cards using the Capsule Basics dies and the outer layer was embossed using the Rosemal Reflections Embossing Folder.

This next card has a more teal color combination using (background to for front): Sea Glass, Juniper, Rainforest.
I blended Rainforest ink onto the silhouette images to make them slightly darker as well as a big of ink along the outer scalloped edge.
All of these cards have embossed sentiments from the Laid Back Holiday stamp & die set.

This last card uses yet another color combo: Bluebell, Capri, Midnight and Peanut.
I blended Midnight ink onto the silhouette images to make them slightly darker. I also blended Peanut ink on the Peanut border to enhance the embossed texture form the Pretty Picado embossing folder.

Next up are a few cute, little favor bags using the new Market Tote & Market Tote Mini dies.

The Greetery-Market Tote & Market Tote Mini

This first little one uses Poppy cardstock and the Market Tote Mini die. I embellished it using the Berry Bouquet Builder die using Lemongrass & Evergreen cardstock and added a Rose Gold bow that is included in the Market Tote die set.

    Laura — you gave us quite a few samples to choose from regarding the nativity cards — like how you brought in an embossing folder, too. Your totes are adorable — love the print paper — and that red box really is the icing on the cake
