Forever Greenery Card Duo ~ Busy with the Cricky

Hello friends! Today I am back with another of the new catalog bundles to share with you. Today's bundle is FOREVER GREENERY, which is part of the larger suite of products called the Forever Greenery Suite. I used the Forever Fern stamp set and the Forevery Greenery dies to create the elements on today's two cards.

The card above began with a watercolor ink circle on Whisper White cardstock. After making the circle, the rest of the card design just sort of came together. I stamped images from Forever Fern stamp set coming out of the circle. I used a die from the Stitched So Sweetly dies and cut out the white scalloped rectangle. I then stamped two images, the berries, in Pretty Peacock and Seaside Spray ink and cut the images with the Forever Greenery dies. Stamping dimensional pop dots were added to the back of the die cuts. I also used the new Gold Hoop embellishment, adding ribbon. The white rectangle was then placed on top of matting cut with Pretty Peacock cardstock and the Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper. The matting layers were adhered to a card base made with Just Jade (**NEW IN COLOR) cardstcock.

The second card in today's duo was also created using the Forever Greenery suite of products. This card began with a Pretty Peacock base card. I added a strip of designer series paper and I used one of the two Forever Greenery embossing folders on Just Jade cardstock for the front of the card. I used a circle and foliage laser-cut piece from the Forever Greenery Gold Laser-cut paper. I added Peacock and Bermuda Bay die cut pieces around the the edges of the gold foliage. I punch a circle and stamped a sentiment. I added gold twine behind the layers and round the circle to finish the card.

I will be back later this week with another bundle of products to share.
