Hot Foil Pretty Poinsettia Card 3

This is the third card of three in Christmas card color them of Hydrangea Hue, White and Silver. I'm sure there will be more in the future so stay tuned!

Once again I've used the same elements to create a card each time giving it a different look from the last. This card is 3-1/2" x 5" in a white base. 

This time I used a stamped then hot foiled piece of Hydrangea Hue along the left edge of the card base. I layered a torn piece of white CS then a torn piece of the DSP. 

The sentiment is from the same Ephemera pack as the other cards. This time I used a Blending Brush to soften the white space with a touch of Hydrangea Hue ink. A die cut leaf anchors the popped up sentiment layer. I added some sparkle with Rhinestones to go along with the Hot Foil Swiss Dots background. 

How fun! All three cards in this series share the same colors yet all three had entirely different looks. It's fun to experiment with the same items!

Be on the look out for more ideas in this color theme. I'm sure there will be more coming soon as well as other non-traditional Christmas colors for cards.

Have a great day!

Greenery Lane Card ~ Color Dare #700

Do you know what Friday means? Well, it does mean a lot of things, but here it means a new challenge from our Color Dare Team! This week we're giving you 4 colors and you must use at least 3 of them. There are some Free color you can add if you like. Check the graphic below for that info. DO NOT add any extra colors beyond those in the graphic.

Make any paper craft you like. When you're ready to join our challenge use the direct link below the graphic.

My card uses all 4 of the colors in our challenge. I love the Greenery Lane Washi Tape. the leaves can create a lush look when grouped together. You can also use them alone as an accent. Here I have done both and added a lush accent to the arched layers. I added a few die cut flowers in the dark blue so I could add that color to the palette. Night of Navy Two tone CS was used so there would be a light and dark shade to the flowers.

The white arch layer has embossed lines. I die cut the arch then used my Paper Trimmer and Scoring Blade to emboss the lines every 1/4". It adds such a nice detail don't you think? 

On this layer I also used a die cut circle for the sentiment. Both the Arched layers and the circle are popped up with Dimensionals. This gives a nice depth to the design but also makes it easy to slip the leaves under that layer. 

The flowers and rhinestones are easy to place using the Take Your Pick Tool. There are changeable tips for this tool. Using the putty tip you can pick up the flowers and place them on the dot of glue. With the stylus tip you can lift the gems off the carrier sheet and place them wherever you like on your project. This tool is a must have in my supplies!

Now it's your turn to use the colors in our graphic to create a project. We love seeing how our color inspire you and can't wait to find out what you create! Have fun!

Greenery Lane ~ Color Dare #692

 Friday means a new color challenge from our Team at Color Dare! This challenge gives you three colors but you only have to use 2...or all 3! There are Free colors you can use with your 2 or 3 from the graphic. DO NOT add any other extra colors. If you are combining challenges be careful of your colors!

Make any paper craft you like. When you're ready to join our challenge use the direct link below the graphic.

When I started my card I was thinking of using only 2 of the colors. Plans changed and I ended up using all 3 colors! You need to be flexible, right? I kept the design simple and love how it turned out. The idea for the scored circle came from a reel I saw shared by Kathy's Stamping World. After watching her idea I knew it was a detail I wanted to include in my design. I love what a sharing community we are!

In keeping with a simple design and being inspired by Kathy's idea, I got out my Greenery Lane Washi Tape and picked out the leaves matching the green in the challenge and die cut just those leaves. I also die cut some of the dainty flowers with the dies out of cardstock. Some of the leaf tips are popped up with foam to give some dimension.

Here's where my plan original deviated. I decided the flowers looked too plain without a center so I added a tiny yellow flat pearl.

The inside of the card coordinates with the card front. I had a couple leftover leaves and flowers just begging to be used. the inside is the perfect place for those leftovers. I did include the flat pearls since they are fairly flat. When I use the card I'll write a custom message.

I hope you like this idea and will give it a try yourself! That's what makes sharing so much fun....inspiring others!

Have a crafty day!

Greenery Lane Card ~ Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge 663

 Hello and welcome to our first sketch for 2026 from our team at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. We're looking forward to a year of weekly sketches to inspire us in our crafting! Our sketch goes live on Monday and our blog opens for entries on Wednesday. Do whatever you like with the sketch. We just need to be able to see the sketch in your project.

This sketch is fun and came together quickly. Using new products going live tomorrow, Jan. 6th, it was fun to create! Having a sketch to get me started really helped so all I had to concentrate on were the other details.

Using Nature Walk DSP and the Greenery Lane products (stamps, dies & wash tape) I ate up with this look to share today. The greenery was die cut from the Washi Tape and tucked under the Foiled Frame that id popped up. Keeping with the gold accent of the frame I add a few gold gems to complete the design.

So are you ready to give our sketch a try? We love seeing how our sketch inspires you.  Have fun!
