Hiiii, friends! Welcome back for day 2 of new product introductions for the new Breath of Spring Collection releasing tomorrow at The Greetery!
Remember that color combo I told you about yesterday? Yep, used it again for these cards, with the addition of some pinks/purples here and there! I had so much fun with these colors!
Be sure to follow me over on Instagram, for more short card making process videos! I'll be sharing some fun Reels videos!
For this card, I used the new Alleluia dies and the Amen & Alleluia stamp set, to create the sentiment. I love that big Alleluia and the best part is that the companion stamp set can be used for several occasions like Easter and even Christmas!
I paired the sentiment with the new BotaniCuts: Crocus dies! Gosh, these are fun to make and easy peasy besides! (You'll see how easy in my Reel!) I die cut all of the layers from five different colors of card stock and then just glued them together in a variety of color combinations.

For this card, I simply stamped the sentiment elements -- both from Amen & Alleluia. I paired it with a pretty cluster of branches. The floral is from the previously released Blooming Branch and I paired it with the new BotaniCuts: Pussy Willow dies! How striking are those?! I love how they just pop against those soft florals!
I feel like the Pussy Willow dies would make a lovely addition to nearly any floral cluster. Just think how pretty they'll be tucked into winter florals, too!

One more for today! This one features the newest in the Curio Collection: Spring Findings.
I watercolored all of the little bits and bobs with my Zig markers and a water brush. (I have a timelapse Instagram Reel that shows you how I did this today.)
PRO TIP: When blending colors such as you see on the feathers, be sure to wipe your brush off a bit between colors, before blending entirely on to the next color. This will keep your colors a bit more vibrant and less muddy!
PRO TIP: Note the nest at the top. That's actually a wreath die cut! I simply cut away part of the circle to make it fit where I wanted it to on my card. Don't be afraid to cut your die cuts apart as needed! You can use even just a bit of one, if that's what your card design calls for! Reimagining your dies in this way, really gives you more bang for your creative buck!
I couldn't resist adding that darling scalloped Frosted Frames die cut around the border. It just POPS against all those greens!
