Hey, Friends! It's Release Day at The Greetery! All of this month's new releases will be available at 10am EDT! Until then, I'm hoping these cards will give you a bit of inspiration while you wait for everything to go live in the shop!
First up is this fun birthday card! I started out with the Delightful Digits die -- I told you I love that thing! I layered the red over the purpley-pink and then ran them both through the Vagabond again, with a Crimped Circle die!
Next up, I used the Bold Alpha to spell out the happy on a crimped banner die cut, and then die cut the new Let's Have a Word: Birthday from glitter card stock, and put that on another banner. I trimmed off the ends of the banners and punched holes, so I could thread the twine through. (Remember those little banner bits on the cobalt tulip card yesterday....that's where the ends of these banners ended up!)
A few leftover Always In Bloom die cuts finished this one off.

Aaaaand more Delightful Digits! I'm not kidding, you can use this background die for all sorts of cards!
It's just got the best detail and the prettiest font for those numbers!
I used one of the Nordic Circles dies, to cut out the turquoise layer and stamped sentiments from Digits Sentiments to complete the sentiment, along with a die cut Bold Numbers 1.
A floral die cut from Alphabuds Bold Floral Details finished this one off.

One more for you today! For this one, I created another of those vintage-inspired backgrounds with an orchid ink pad, stamping the Fond of Foliage background off on scratch paper once first, before stamping it on my card here.
I used individual flowers from Flower Market Bouquet to create my own bouquet here, layering them all on a Crimped Circle die cut.
The little label is from the Market Basket dies + sentiments set.
PRO TIP: Use a strip of card stock to ground your focal point. Rather than have the circle just floating on the card front, the simple strip of card stock anchors it in place. It's a simple trick that adds balance, as well as some additional detail and therefore, more interest.
