The Greetery Spring Jardin Collection Introduction Day 1

March 12, 2026

Hi there! Today I’m joining The Greetery to introduce the beautiful Spring Jardin Collection.
The new collection will be available on Monday, March 16 at 10am EDT.

My first two cards featuring the Tangled Tulips product suite. For the card above I used the Tangled Tulips Stamp & Stencil set for the border and the Tangled Tulips Details die for the die cut blooms in the center.

The card below features the Tangled Tulips Details die as well with a sentiment from the Rosemal Reflections stamp set. I also used the Capsule Basics dies for both cards as well.

Here is a video showing how I created these cards.

This next card showcases the Shortbread Shapes: Rectangle Spring embossing folder as well as the Bigger Botanical Mallow die. For the background panel I used the Herringbone Parquet die with Stardust cardstock and blended stardust ink on the edges. I used the Capsule Basics dies with vellum and Juniper. I embossed a sentiment from Rosemal Reflections in white onto Rainforest cardstock.

Pretty Pink Posh-February Release

February 10, 2026

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple of cards featuring the Pretty Pink Posh February Release. My first card features the Decorative Easter Egg Die, which I die cut out of Buttercream cardstock. For the sentiment I used the Large Easter Shadow Die with Matte Gold cardstock. I embossed one of the Easter Banner Greetings in gold onto a vellum banner using the Banner Greetings 3 Dies. The background cardstock is Nectar and Sorbet along with a few Dew Drops for embellishment. I love this clean and simple look for an Easter card.
