Hello there! You are in for a treat with all the new products we're introducing today for The Greetery! So many beautiful new things to work with! Take this first card for instance......it features the new Elegant Entrance: Arches Die!
I die cut it and layered it on a piece of lighter card stock, before tucking some florals from the new Wildwood stamp set inside the doors.
I die cut the door handles from gold card stock....so fancy looking in real life!
Just look at the pretty detail on those doors!
On the outside of the door, I added some die cuts from the new Autumn Harvest Die set, along with a couple more Wildwood blooms.
I did a bit of ink blending on all of the solid color die cut elements.
The sentiment is from the previously released Little Labels stamp set.
PRO TIP: For giving a card like this, I would typically give it with a gift that's in a gift bag. I would simply nestle the card into the tissue sticking out of the bag. That way, I could keep the doors "open" on the card and wouldn't need to bother with stuffing it into an envelope. It makes a lovely accent sticking up out of the gift bag/tissue!

Ok, well you know I love the colors on this one!
I added a piece of Herringbone Parquet die cut card stock to the card base. Look at that woodgrain texture! I just cut it from kraft card stock and that's it. No ink blending or anything!
Then used the new Round About Fall Foliage Die to cut out two layers of card stock....one in the pinky color and one in orange. I layered them together, topped them with some die cuts from the new Wildwood and then added a sentiment from the new Thanks All Ways!
PRO TIP: Remember to play with the intensity of your ink colors, to get more "colors" out of your ink pads! In this case, I used the Orchid color at full strength in some cases, and stamped off first to lighten it up in other cases! That way, it looks like I used two different (perfectly coordinated purples), but really it's just the same color!
This card is so simple, but so striking in real life! And I love that while the card has a decidedly Fall feel, it's a bit of an unexpected color combo!

So this one is a bit softer, but still features a pink and orange color palette.
This time, even though I layered everything on a Herringbone Parquet Die cut, I did blend some brown ink on the herringbone, to give it some added depth.
Then, I used one of the Hoopla dies from last month, to cut out the scalloped circle and hoop, and then topped it with stamped elements from the new Wildwood. SUCH a pretty stamp set! I fished out some of the gemstones from the new Apple Spice Bits and added those here and there to the florals for an added bit of bling!
The sentiment is one of the three included in the Wildwood set.

One more for today....for this one, I used the new Fall Folk stencil to create the colorful background panel.
I created my own little banner for the sentiment (from Wildwood) by cutting a notch on one end with paper snips.
The pumpkins were cut with the new Plump Pumpkins Dies, and I topped them with lots of Wildwood florals and some more of those gems from the Apple Spice Bits. Some of them are a bit orange and some of them are brown.
