Hello friends! It’s time to celebrate The Greetery‘s 1st birthday with a release with all things birthday themed! We’re a little late to the party with all the that’s going around the world, but nevertheless it’s been definitely worth the wait. I have a big post for you filled with tons of inspiration with today’s products filled with birthday blooms, balloons, and confetti!
Let’s think happy! The Think Happy stamp and cut combo is just packed with lots of joy. I used the cut out of various pastel color card stock and gold mirror card stock to assemble this rainbow and floral packed cloud design. It took some time to inlay all the little gold pieces, but the end result made it so worth it!
I used a basic cloud stencil to ink blend my background and heat embossed the sentiment ‘oh happy day’ from the Think Happy stamp set in gold embossing powder. I used my extra gold mirror die cuts to decorate the remainder of the card like sequins!
This next pair of cards features the Birthday Blooms stamp set and die collection. When I work with these layered stamp images, I like to stamp in bulk, so it is very easy to create more than one card at a time! I used Altenew ink pad colors and they are as follows:
Pinks: Pinkalicious, Rubellite
Greens: Frayed Leaf, Forest Glades
Blues: Eastern Sky, Ultramarine
I die cut a piece of bristol board with the Crimed Frame Die and masked off the edges with washi tape. The backgrounds were ink blended from the top down and the bottom up, with the lightest pressure towards the center. I added a gentle ink splatter with the same inks. I then stamped the sentiment from Birthday Blooms in black right in the center.
I used the die cut flourishes around the sentiment, following the direction of the blooms, and adding them to my card with foam tape. It took a little extra effort to cut my foam tape into thin strips, but the dimension adds such a lovely look!
This last card features several products from today’s product reveal, including the Balloon Bouquet stamp set, Big Balloons die collection, and Twisted Crepe die collection. I started by using the stamp set to stamp out my balloon and its floral design. Then, I die cut the stamped image with the balloon using the largest size balloon die found in the Big Ballons die collection and the string out of gold mirror card stock. I heat embossed one of the balloons with a sentiment in gold embossing powder.
I ink blended a background with Chipped Sapphire, Faded Jeans, and Old Paper distress oxide inks. I then die cut some decorative crepe using the Twisted Crepe die collection out of gold mirror card stock and added it to the background. The balloons were added last to complete the card.
We are packed full with inspirations from the team and several stellar guests, so definitely be sure to stop by The Greetery Blog for the full list and also participate in the giveaways by leaving comments on any of the blogs today!
Your cards are so happy and fun!

So pretty. I like the softer colors.
Love all the gold foil diecuts in your rainbow card, really made it special! Thanks for the inspiration!
Ooo, what a pretty pastel rainbow. Most of what I’ve seen has been a little bolder, so I like seeing the softer look and then the gold pieces floating down with it. I also really like how you highlighted those beautiful sentiments with the flowers dancing around them. And what a great combination of colors to blend on your balloon background; I’ve never seen those three together, and it works beautifully for the colors on your balloons.
Beautiful beautiful cards Keeway!!! I love the dark blue that fades into what seems like a lime coloured background. Gorgeous
Wonderful projects. Really love how you showcased the Birthday Blooms set!
So excited for this release!!! Thank you for inspiring us with Betsy’s amazing products!
I feel another great release coming, all these projects are so lovely!
Your cards are so pretty, as usual!
Love your beautiful cards, Keeway!! That Balloon Bouquet stamp set and Twisted Crepe die set are marvelous.
Beautiful cards! Beautiful release from The Greetery! They are quickly becoming my favorite company.
Beautiful. I love the use of gold foil for your balloon strings and banners. It feels so fancy. I shy away from gold and tend to use primarily silver when I bring in metallic papers. Going to try some gold on graduation cards I’m working on.
