the greetery - budding beauties: autumn + sentiment suite: thank you + mason jar filler stencils

Hey everyone! It's the day 3 of the August release countdown at The Greetery and I have two card projects to share with you today using several new products from the release: Budding Beauties: Autumn stamp set & dies, Sentiment Suite: Thank You stamp set, and Mason Jar Filler stencils!

All of the new products that I am sharing today will be available to purchase on Friday, August 23rd, 10AM ET at The Greetery.

On this first card, I used the stems from the Budding Beauties: Autumn stamp set to create a border down the side of my card. I went in and stamped the Bittersweet branches in first because they take up the most room, next I stamped the berry stems, and finally filled in a bit more with the wheat stems stamped in a light tone that matched the cardstock so it would fill in, but sort of fall to the background. 

I added some speckles and spatters with the white and dark brown inks and then added the "thank you" sentiment from the new Sentiment Suite: Thank You stamp set. A bit of twine tied around the card finished things off just right!

Supplies:

• STAMPS: Budding Beauties: Autumn stamp set (The Greetery), Sentiment Suite: Thank You stamp set (The Greetery)
• INK: Chocolate (Fresh Ink), Merlot (Fresh Ink), Fig (Fresh Ink), Papaya (Fresh Ink), Spruce (Fresh Ink), Avocado (Taylored Expressions), Toffee (Taylored Expressions), Sugar Cube (Taylored Expressions), Jet Black Archival (Ranger)
• PAPER: white cardstock, Toffee (Taylored Expressions)
• OTHER: burlap twine (Taylored Expressions), water brush, MISTI

On this second card, I also used the Budding Beauties: Autumn stamp set, but this time stamp the stems onto the coordianting die cuts so I could arrange them into the mason jar from the Just Mason Around set. 

Behind the stems are some more branches that I added using the new Mason Jar Fillers stencils. I stenciled and stamped a few stems onto the mason jar die cut as well to make it look like the stamped and stencils stems were coming out of it.

The "thank you" sentiment is from the new Sentiment Suite: Thank You stamp set and I stamped it onto a mini tag die cut from the Sentiment Suite Basics die collection. It's attached with a jump ring to the bit of twine that I tied around the top of the mason jar.
