Curio from the Greetery

11 Comments

Hello, Happy Friday! I am back today with a Birthday card using a mix of products but mostly 3 fabulous sets by the Greetery. These sets were gifted to me by a dear friend and fellow cardmaker and I finally took on the task of making a card with them. Now I wish I hadn’t waited so long to use them as I had a ball putting this together. I mixed a bit of Spellbinders Autumn Wonder in there as well, as I wanted the Birthday card to have a Fall vibe.

Details: There is not much to tell you about putting this card together. Basically cut out all the die cuts and added inks with blending brushes to make the images pop. Then I started with a black card base and built each window one at a time. Then when it came time to build the frame and acetate, I used another piece of 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 cardstock to guide me to keep it squared up and then adhered the acetate on the back. Added the closure and the hinges in gold mat cardstock along with my signature gold paper embellishments. The Happy Birthday fit perfectly on the tag that comes with the set. The front doesn’t open to touch the pieces inside but the cardbase opens normally.

Here is an angle shot so you can see that there is in fact acetate on the front.

I appreciate you stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day and a great weekend too. Take care, Nanc’

  1. That is amazing!

  2. Oh, I love, love LOVE this. Aren’t those sets fun, and so charming. Glad you have fun with it, your design is just awesome. You have used those sets perfectly!!!

  3. It totally looked like a brilliant autumn curio cabinet to me, Nanc’, and then I saw the bottom photo with the acetate and now I see that it REALLY looks like a curio cabinet! Oh, the fun you will have filling those shelves as the seasons change! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell

  4. You’ve done a marvelous job with this gift, Nancy! I like that you added the acetate to the front and those autumn colors are so lush. Beautiful card!

  5. This is just fabulous, Nancy! The Curio Cabinet sets from The Greetery are some of my favorites, although I don’t own all of the pieces you’ve used. Your colors just pop, and the arrangement of the items couldn’t be more perfect.

  6. That’s just glorious! Loving all the dies cuts – fab layout!

  7. I’m such a big fan of the Greetery Nancy and I love the way you’ve used these dies to create this gorgeously autumnal card! Vicky x

  8. What an amazing birthday card. I love the dimension and shading you achieved by inking up the die cuts. Great job. The acetate is the perfect finishing touch to your window. Thanks for joining us at Happy Little Stampers ~ Anything Goes With Dies Challenge.
