Hello there, friends! The Greetery is turning 5 and of course, they've got a great new collection of products to celebrate! I think you'll find many of these products to be fun and versatile additions to your collection of crafting goodies! Let's dive right in!
This first card features the new Celebration Streamers stamp and stencils! I love that you can layer all sorts of colors to create the streamers of your dreams! Ha! You start out by stamping the base streamer image and then use the stencils to layer colors on top, to create the shading on the front portions of the streamers.
In addition to the streamers, I used the new Ticker Tape stamp to add the confetti to the background.
For the sentiment and focal point, I used a new die set you'll hear more about tomorrow, called Award Winning, to cut out the circle layers. I topped it with the new It's Your Day dies.
PRO TIP: As you'll see tomorrow, those circles have a very specific use for the set they come in, but they're also super versatile to use anywhere you need a cute circle!

Next up is the new Flourished Phrases Birthday. I love how quick it is to create a card that packs a big punch, thanks to these oversized sentiments!
I stenciled all the elements first and then die cut the sentiment.
PRO TIP: These large sentiments provide the perfect opportunity to do some creative ink blending with ombre fades on each letter, or even making them multi-colored!
Next, I used the new Curly Q Steamers dies, to create the streamers up top! I just adhered them along the top edge so that they can be fluffed forward a little for some dimension.
PRO TIP: I die cut three streamers but cut each one in half, so that I could put 6 shorter streamers across the top of the card! Don't ever be afraid to cut your die cuts to fit your design needs, for whatever project you're working on!
A few enamel dots were a sweet finishing touch.

Next up, I used the new Four Square Birthday Tags + Elements stamps and dies, along with the Four Square Tags Die, to create a set of birthday tags.
Notice the pops of gold?....
I also used the new Streamers Hot Foil, as well as the new Ticker Tape Hot Foil to add some gold touches to my tags!
Making tag sets like these are so fun because you can totally coordinate them, while still making each tag unique and special!
The pops of gold really add some fun shine in real life!
These will be so perfect for adding to wrapped gifts or gift bag handles!
