Hi friends! Popping in with a super cute Christmas card today! Happy Sunday! I got some much needed relaxation time in the craft room last night and I made this card. And you know what? It made me happy the entire time!
I used awesome new supplies from Pixi Dust Designs! Sandra is the kindest and most talented designer behind the brand and she was nice enough to mail me Santa and Mrs. Claus to play with! When I tell you these dies are a dream to work with…. They come pre-separated, and they cut like butter! I always love working with their products. I had fun mixing and matching red and white with little accents. Like their glasses! Oh My! So adorable. I even gave Mrs. Claus some bling Christmas earrings, and she has a candy cane in her pocket.
I made my card front into a custom size since I wanted the couple next to each other. So it ended up being about 5.5″ x 6.5″ in size and I made it from a sheet of Neenah cardstock. I layered vivid red cardstock and then some candy cane striped paper from my stash and then a white layer. The sentiment and the little snow at the top are from Concord & 9th. Everything else is from Pixi Dust!! I think they look like me and my husband!! Hee hee.
I love how she has a tiny bow in her hair! I used a Copic C1 marker to add a bit of grey to her hair. The way the dies are set up is that there are very shallow indents where the pieces go – like the brows and the eyes and the mouth. So you get it lined up just right!! Her apron has slits in the pockets to tuck in the candy cane or her whisk that comes with the set.
For Santa I made his hat and his fur trim out of sparkly glitter paper! I added some hearts to the sweet couple. I am loving the detail in their eyes. Looks so cartoony and sweet.
I put the couple onto the card front using foam tape so they are raised up a bit. They are READY for Christmas and cheer!
That’s it for today! Hope you had a great weekend! I will be back on Wednesday with Part Five of The Greetery Christmas release! It’s sooooo gooooood! Just you wait! Wishing you a fun week ahead. I am going to a fun event Tuesday night! Melissa King from Top Chef is having a book signing at our beautiful downtown Sacramento Library! You get to meet her and get a free signed book! That will be a cool event for sure. I have never missed an episode of Top Chef! Take care, happy crafting! XOXO

Hi everyone! It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Time to continue with the Christmas 2026 Collection from The Greetery! This year’s collection is called District Twelve/25 and it’s MAGIC! There are so many new products! They are, as you would expect, classy and beautiful! It’s a huge release and this year Betsy decided to do something a little different with the release! We are week four now! And there are even more to come!
Today is the first day of the FOURTH week of the festivities! This week’s release is called Christmas Confectionery! A new sweet SUITE of products with a Christmas cookie theme! Stamps, dies, stencils and an embossing folder. It’s so perfect! The entire design team and Betsy are sharing projects today. Then, this part of the new release will be available for shopping TOMORROW 11/5! Next week, we’ll do it all again. WOOHOOO! This has been so fun to show you!
Today I’m sharing a card I made with the new products! Think pink and pastels and all the wonderfully cute Christmas themes – oh, and lots of sparkly glitter too!
My finished card is a white A2 card base. I die cut a soft pink A2 scallop die as my background for the pretty images. This card features all the parts of the Confectionery collection along with the brand new Laid Back Holiday stamps! I chose pink, soft green and aqua for my colors!
I started by stenciling the gorgeous images and both small and large blending brushes (with Distress Inks)…. Then I embossed the stenciled panel, and then die cut the images out (All with one die!!). Love love love it! I splattered on a generous amount of white paint snow….
I wanted my images to be very shimmery, but also I wanted to use chunky glitter. I ended up making my own custom glitter mix and it came out so great! I took an old container and mixed Rock Candy chunky glitter and some super fine glitter and some other random glitter from my stash. SO fun!! I generously glued the glitter on all the pieces.
The sentiment was heat embossed in festive gold embossing powder into the center of the pink panel. Then I arranged the ‘cookies’ around the sentiment using foam tape. I added a few clear gems at the end.
That’s it for today’s post, but there is still more to come – exploring all the new products in the District Twelve/25 collection. The products in today’s post will be available tomorrow for shopping! Oh Yeah!
Each week’s products will be available as an easy-to-shop bundle, but the products will also be available individually! Orders will ship immediately (within Greetery’s typical processing times) and will not be held/combined with subsequent releases. These are not limited edition products. Just like the other releases, if items sell out Greetery will restock them as quickly as possible!

Hi everyone! It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Time to continue with the Christmas 2026 Collection from The Greetery! This year’s collection is called District Twelve/25 and it’s MAGIC! There are so many new products! They are, as you would expect, classy and beautiful! It’s a huge release and this year Betsy decided to do something a little different with the release! We are week three now! And there are two more to come!
To quote Betsy: “We’re taking more of a bite-sized, slowed-down approach to our holiday release, but one that I am really excited about! We have 30+ new products waiting in the wings. For the past seven years, we have done one large, somewhat overwhelming (for me at least, and maybe for you too) release in October, and a smaller one in November. This year we’re taking a different approach… Beginning next week (today!), we’ll be taking a 6 week “Shop Hop” through District Twelve25…a line-up of quaint and cozy “shops”, filled with holiday goodies. Each “shop” is a themed group of products. Each week we will visit one shop…”
Today is the first day of the THIRD week of the festivities! This week’s release is called Novelties and Nativities Collection! There’s a new duo of Treat Boxes (the Market Totes) and a new Nativity set. The entire design team and Betsy are sharing projects today. Then, this part of the new release will be available for shopping TOMORROW 10/29! Next week, we’ll do it all again. WOOHOOO! Ho ho ho indeed!
Today I’m sharing two projects made with the first set of new products. One Gift Card Holder/Treat Box and one card. The new items this week are more classic Christmas. But the new totes can be used for any occasion (I will have another project with the tote soon!) Betsy added to the Capsule Collection with a Nativity set. Perfect.
My first project for today features the brand new Market Tote Box! There are TWO Market Totes being released. This is the larger of the two. There is a mini one as well! The one I’ve used today is a good size and can hold a gift card, candies or another small present! It is so easy to make and you can use it for anything! I’m thinking birthday favors or shower placecard holders…SO many ideas. I used red and green and gold and made mine a Christmas gift!
You start making the Tote by die cutting two of the same die. Then you glue them together – SO easy! One of my favorite things to do with treat boxes is to “line” the inside of the box with gingham. So to do this I die cut a third piece using the gingham and glued it to the inside/back before I put the box together. Yay! I am also using the Teeny Tags Dies and Stamp set for this adorable tag.
Here is the gift card to match (coffee of course) so you can see the scale of the tote! The inside is vellum, instead of tissue paper, because it’s just a little bit thicker and fancier.
I used the Bold numbers dies in gold to add 25 and then I used the Holly Botanicut and the little bow from the Tote set. I added glitter and snow to the leaves and numbers and also white paint splatters.
My card for today features the brand new Capsule Nativity Scene dies that match up with the Capsule Collection! It’s simple and clean and perfect for the season. The sentiment is from the brand new Laid Back Holiday Stamp set! My finished card is an A2 card base covered in green stripes and then the featured dies. I used the previously released Capsule Holiday Borders to make a greenery border around the nativity scene.
I added some Juniper greenery at the bottom of the scene and then placed the sentiment on top of the greenery. I stamped the sentiment in brown ink and die cut it with the matching die. I used the traditional Christmas colors and woodgrain for the nativity.
That’s it for today’s post, but there are three more weeks to come – exploring all the new products in the District Twelve/25 collection. The products in today’s post will be available tomorrow for shopping! Oh Yeah!
Each week’s products will be available as an easy-to-shop bundle, but the products will also be available individually! Orders will ship immediately (within Greetery’s typical processing times) and will not be held/combined with subsequent releases. These are not limited edition products. Just like the other releases, if items sell out Greetery will restock them as quickly as possible!

Ho Ho Holidays! Dang! So much wintery goodness is happening this week! I hope you enjoyed The Greetery new release! (There is more coming!) and now we have a wonderful new Christmas release from Pretty Pink Posh! As you would think, everything is utterly adorable and happy and fun…and I made it super colorful too! I made five different projects with the new PPP release. I could have made more but I ran out of time! I always run out of time! Ha. I know you will love the new release too. Everything is already available for shopping and crafting. I’ll walk you through my projects with pleasure! And I’m wishing you a great weekend!
My first card for today features the brand new Christmas Mugs dies! The set includes a reindeer and Santa mug and they are CUTE! My finished card is a white A2 card base layered with stripes, then a rectangle and then another rectangle die cut with snowflakes! Then of course that sweet mug of cocoa! This card also features a brand new sentiment set. I really love PPP sentiments – the font is the perfect amount of classy and cheerful…
This photo shows the reindeer mug from that same set. I used the reindeer mug to make a big gift tag. There is a twine piece at the top to help put it onto a gift or a bottle of wine or whatever you want. They make me smile with their pink cheeks and jolly theme!
This card has lots of layers and all the winter elements: snowflakes, holly, santa…. I do love a pop of aqua mixed in with my red and green for Christmas cards. I used glitter paper for the hat, and added white gel pen accents here and there…
My next card features the brand new Christmas Gingerbread stamps and matching dies. I busted out the bright Copics for this one! PINK! LIME GREEN! Oh yeah! My finished card is a white A2 card base layered with pink gingham and then a white stitched rectangle. I added a couple of trees and snowflakes, but the star of the show is the cute stamps!
I started by stamping and die cutting out all the different elements and coloring everything with Copic Markers. I added white gel pen accents and also bits of sparkling Diamond Stickles… I splattered some snow onto the trees. It’s hard to see them, but there are also some snowy hills at the bottom of the card.
My next project features the brand new Reindeer Holder Dies! I made one of my favorite projects- a treat box! I added a party flag and some snowflakes to make it more festive! I started by die cutting out the pieces of the Birthday Treat Box and the Reindeer. I assembled everything and added some snowy splatter accents!
I purposely adhered his smile at an angle to make him look extra silly and impish! I gave him pink chalk cheeks and a glittery Santa hat!
These party flags dies are so versatile and I use them all the time!
And my final project for today is another Christmas/Holiday card! This card features the brand new Stocking Gift Card Holder dies! I also used some bits and bobs from other Christmas die sets! My finished card is an A2 white card base, layered with one other white layer…then tons of PINK! I wanted this card clean and simple to feature that cute stocking! I added a gingerbread man and some candies too! Yummy!
Woohoo! It was my pleasure to introduce the brand new District Twelve/25 Evergreen Collective Collection! If you scroll back to my last blog post, you can see all my projects from this part of the new release! If you have any questions – reach out!! Thanks for all the love and kind comments! Happy Creating! Can’t wait to see what YOU make!
And because a bunch of you emailed me individually (thank you) trying to figure out the commenting situation…I finally spent some time last night fixing that! Now, a comment box should appear at the bottom of all my posts! Whew. We have a lot more posts coming for The Greetery! I appreciate you guys so much!

Today is the first day of the SECOND week of the festivities! This week’s release is called The Evergreen Collection! In my mind, it’s classic old vintage Christmas…. The entire design team and Betsy are sharing projects today. Then, this part of the new release will be available for shopping TOMORROW 10/22! Next week, we’ll do it all again. WOOHOOO! Ho ho ho indeed!
Today I’m sharing two cards made with the first set of new products. This new set of products is perfect for all the red and green(ery)! The new sets are called Bow-tique Holiday, Brimming Baskets, and Berry Bouquet! Stamps and dies and gorgeous products to make all those Christmas cards. My immediate thought was a Ralph Lauren Christmas. So for my cards I used natural tones, red and green, and a pretty plaid….
Here is a photo of both of my cards together…. Makes me feel all cozy inside!
My first card today is a Christmas card that features the brand new Bow-tique Holiday stamps and dies! That giant gorgeous Christmas tree! Love! My finished card is an A2 kraft card base, layered with plaid paper from my stash…then a woodgrain layer. I stamped the big tree onto cream cardstock with red and green inks. I die cut it out with the matching die. I stamped the sentiment in red and also die cut that out. The bows are all die cut as well. You can leave them stamped and/or add the 3d bows.
For the oval background I die cut the oval from cream cardstock and then stamped the Hymn Sing background using Antique Linen distress ink – for a vintage look!
Here is a side shot of all my layers. I added gold pearls to the center of each red bow – again – so classic! I used foam tape to pop up all my layers. I also added snow paste to the tips of the branches – I love this look – so frosty and wintery!
The baskets look so realistic because of the embossing folder!! I love this look! Those greenery dies fit inside the basket so perfectly. I coated the greens with lots of chunky glitter to make it glisten like snow. I used the Regency Bow at the top!
That’s it for today’s post, but there are three more weeks to come – exploring all the new products in the District Twelve/25 collection. The products in today’s post will be available tomorrow for shopping! Oh Yeah!
Each week’s products will be available as an easy-to-shop bundle, but the products will also be available individually!

Today I’m sharing two cards made with the first set of new products. We are featuring the newest addition to the Capsule Collection. This new set of products is all built around quilting! Embossing folder, stencils, dies, stamps – all of it! And there is also a new addition to the Shortbread Shapes – which has a quilting theme as well. If you’re a seamstress or vintage girlie, you’re going to love this!
My first card today is a Christmas card that features the brand new Shortbread Shapes Quilt Blocks Embossing Folder. I combined it the brand new Capsule Quilt Shop Stamp Set, and many other favorite Greetery supplies. I created a classic traditional card with cream, red, and black – with pops of gold and green. My finished card is an A2 kraft card base. I layered the new embossing folder with black cardstock – inked with white ink to give that chalkboard effect!
I used the beautiful Regency 2 Bow in red. I also used the Holly 2 dies to make some Christmas greenery. Here’s a close up of everything! I splattered on some snow and used chunky glitter too. All the good things for Winter!
The musical background is the Hymn Sing Stamp! I stamped it in cream with rich black ink to make my own background paper. LOVE! And a big gold snowflake fits on there perfectly….
The new stamp set has lots of mix and match sentiments – and I chose Merry Christmas! (Of course)
My second card for today is a birthday card with pretty pastel colors and pops of pearls and gold. This card features the brand new Capsule Quilt Shop Stencils and the new Elements stamp set. I also used the new matching dies. My finished card is a 5×7 card made from cream cardstock, covered in pretty teal cardstock – then that big stenciled panel. I used the Filigree dies to make a small gold border. I used the Whole Hearted Dies to create a vellum heart for my sentiment… I love the mix and match sentiments with different fonts!
I absolutely love Greetery stencils – they are PERFECT! They match up so crisp and detailed. I used shades of corals and teals with a little green and yellow. This would also be so pretty in Christmas or Valentine colors!
I used Distress Inks and blending brushes on a cream cardstock panel to create the pretty paper quilt!
That’s it for today’s post, and the beginning of fun weeks to come – exploring all the new products in the District Twelve/25 collection. Some tips about the new program…. The products in today’s post will be available tomorrow for shopping!
Each week’s products will be available as an easy-to-shop bundle, but the products will also be available individually!

Hey Boos! Happy Friday! I hope you’re having a delightful October so far! Today I’m sharing some fun Halloween cards for ya! I LOVE making Halloween cards! I’m running out of time. This month is going by so fast already. I wait all year for my favorite month!! This past Saturday, the 3rd, my hubs and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary! Yay! I am so blessed to have this man in my life! We had a lovely dinner out at our favorite restaurant Saturday night and this week we’ve been doing little adventures and celebrating together. You can see our adventures over on my Instagram!
We were scheduled to go on a good vacation this week, but I was laid off from my job in June – and that was very bad for my mental health and our finances. I’m grateful to report I got a new job a couple of weeks ago so I’m hopeful again that things are back on track. For the first time in my life I found myself without a job when I wanted one. This is no joke. The current job market is no joke either. If you know anyone looking for a job right now, please give them lots of grace and kindness. I’ve been truly humbled by this experience. Crafting and blogging has been my relief and fun.
Today I have Halloween cards from two of my favorite companies – Taylored Expressions and Concord & 9th! Oh yeah. Such cute supplies! There is not enough time to make everything I want to make!! So happy to share with you today.
First up is this adorable ghostie bestie, made with supplies from Taylored Expressions! I used the Ghost Hugs stamps and dies to create this one. My finished card is an A2 white card base. I used a color palette of lime green, teal and orange and it’s so bright and vivid. The lime layer was embossed with a spider web embossing folder…. I die cut out the ghost, the cat (!!), the bat, the banner, and the pumpkin. I added white gel pen accents to everything. I stamped the face and the sentiment, the BOO and the little orange stars. A few colorful gems finished off the card. This one makes me smile!!
My second card today was made with supplies from Concord & 9th! Happy Spooky Season! This tiny haunted house and accessories are so fun. My finished card is an A2 white card base, layered with some stripes and then a white panel that I ink blended into a dusk evening sky! I used the Spook Alley dies to create a trick-or-treat scene… A teeny fence, little bats, and a little moon. And don’t get me started on those adorable ghosts!!
That’s it for today! Wishing you a wonderful October weekend! If all goes well, hubs and I are at the ocean today! It’s been over 100 degrees at our house all week (yuck) and we are definitely in need of ocean breezes! I will see you soon! XOXO
Hi creative and crafty friends! It’s my turn on The Greetery Blog today!! Happy Friday and Happy October! Also, tomorrow is my 25 year wedding anniversary! I love October! It’s officially time to make all of our Halloween crafts! The air is crisp (at least in the morning, ha) and the anticipation is here!
I do love everything Vintage and Cheery Halloween. So today I took the opportunity to use a lot of Greetery Supplies to create a fun Halloween card to share with you. My card was inspired by everything spooktacular! My card features that giant and cute Honeycomb Spider and one of the new Botanical Pumpkins, along with small accent dies from the new Eerie Avenue Dies. I mixed and matched all the fun things! Let’s get started!
My finished card is approximately 5×7 and is made using the large Zig Zag oval from the Capsule Star Studded Borders. I used a few of the capsule shapes and layered black, gingham and white for the foundation of the card. I assembled the Honeycomb Spider and used the Halloween Honeycombs to make him black. I splattered on a bit of silver paint. I glued the eyes directly onto the honeycomb portion. Next I die cut out the Botanical Pumpkin and ink shaded it, and also splashed on silver paint.
I die cut the 31 numbers using the Bold Numbers Dies and metallic silver paper. Lastly I die cut out spiderwebs, ghosts and stars to accent the larger pieces. I used the Star Struck Die and the Eerie Avenue Dies. See how the spider is holding that fun banner in his legs!? Ha. The sentiment is from the new Simple Autumn Sentiment Mini stamp set. A few gems complete everything – I had to add more sparkle. I used foam tape to attach everything to the card.
That’s it for my project for today! Boo! Sending Spooky Greetings from my craft room to yours! I hope you have an awesome and creative day today. It’s my pleasure to share with you! I will see you soon…. In the meantime, happy crafting! XOXO
Greetings friends! This week, on Tuesday, was the first official day of Fall 2026! Yeah! My favorite season is here! We’ve been going to college football games already and the leaves are changing in my neighborhood. It’s still pretty hot here though! Longing for sweater weather and getting to wear cute fall clothes! Ha. It’s been a busy few weeks. We went to a great concert last weekend and we are enjoying the new season. There are new stamps arriving almost daily for Christmas (already) but that can wait just a bit.
Today I am sharing three FUN FALL cards I made with the awesome new Pretty Pink Posh release! There was a big Instagram Hop this week and today is my day to join the hop. CLICK HERE to leave a comment on my post for a chance to win a prize. I am so excited to share my projects from the release!! Let’s get to it!
I noticed after the last Greetery Release that I have a lot of new subscribers! Welcome! Thank you!
My first card for today features the brand new Fall Bucket Additions and the new Stitched Leaves (SO gorgeous), and also the new Happy Fall Stamp set! My finished card is an A2 card base covered in bright blue gingham (to offset all the warm tones). Next I layered an Eyelet Rectangle that I ink blended in honey yellows…. The star of the show is that adorable Scarecrow Bucket! I used the Candy Bucket Dies and added the Scarecrow accessories. I filled the bucket with leaves and apples. It’s the perfect Fall situation! The sentiment is from the new stamp set and I die cut it out with the matching dies. I gave him pink cheeks using some old craft chalk from my stash.
I ink blended around all the die cut pieces – I always love how that looks. I added a sunflower to his hat and splattered white paint on everything. I also added white gel pen accents. I made a little band for his hat using the same blue gingham paper. He looks happy I think!
My next card features the brand new Fall Scarecrows Stamp Set along with lots of other PPP favorites… The fence, the grass, the cloud stencil, and the pumpkins! My finished card is a white A2 card base layered with yellow gingham, then a white Pinking Rectangle panel. I stenciled a bright blue sky for the background and it makes me smile! I stamped and die cut out all the pieces and colored them using my Copic Markers. I used white pen accents too and just a little bit of glitter. Isn’t this the happiest scene? I die cut some grass and combined it with the white fence and just kind of tucked the other elements into the fence. The sentiment is perfect!
My last card for today is FAAAALLLLLL! hahaha. This card features the brand new Fall Word Shaker Dies, the new Stitched Leaves, the new Fall Holder Additions and the new Happy Fall Stamp Set! So much color!! My finished card is an A2 kraft card base, layered with orange gingham and then a Rounded Rectangle panel. I inked the rectangle with light teal to ‘ground’ the warm colors. I started by die cutting the FALL using woodgrain cardstock. I layered three of them to make it thicker and more substantial on the card. Next I die cut a bunch of leaves, sunflowers and an acorn from fall colors and inked everything with Distress inks. I splattered gold paint onto the woodgrain…. I heat embossed the sentiment in gold embossing to match the splatters. I attached the FALL word to the card and then layered the leaves in behind the word die. A few brown hearts finish off the card.
It is always always always my pleasure to share a new PPP release with you! I just love the happy stamps and dies that Paulina makes for us to play with. This particular release speaks to me since I love Autumn so much. I hope you’ve found some inspiration today and that you get out your supplies and craft!
Happy officially Fall! Take care and stay crafty! I’ll see you back here on Friday! XOXO
Hi creative and crafty friends! Happy Friday! It’s officially fully fall! We’ve been going to football games, and the mornings are cooler… I’m so excited! And, it’s my turn today on The Greetery Blog! I feel like it’s time to get ready for everything Autumn! I’m ready ready ready! My favorite season will go by so fast, so I have to get creating! Ha. I hope you are doing well and making some fun things in your craft room too. Today’s card was inspired by my love of cross stitch and my love of fall. I used the gorgeous Rose Tapestry Stencils in warm orange tones and combined it with a lot of other Greetery favorites. Let’s get started!
My finished card is a kraft A2 card base. I layered a cream panel that I embossed with the gorgeous Autumn Herbarium Embossing Folder. Then I layered a touch of gingham and then my hoop and ‘stitching.’
I started by stenciling the Rose Tapestry Stencils onto a cream panel. I used Distress Inks and blending brushes to get a nice even layer of colors. I then splattered warm gold paint over the top. I used the Hoopla Ovals Dies and the Hoopla Ovals Inserts Dies to create my embroidery hoop. I absolutely love how this looks – such creative products!!
I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment using the Rolling Hills Bella Terra stamp set and matching dies. So elegant! I used the Autumn Harvest and the Curio Autumn dies to add some pumpkins and leaves. I ink shaded my die cut pieces to add a bit of depth. I used a strip of green gingham paper to add a bit more color. The hoop is mounted onto the card using foam tape to make it pop. Finished up with a few orange gems.
That’s it for my project for today! I hope you are feeling the Autumn vibes with me! I loved using these stencils in pink tones when they were first released, and now I am loving them with orange. I hope you have an awesome and creative day today. Cheers to Fall Y’all! It’s my pleasure to share with you every month. I will see you soon…. In the meantime, happy crafting! XO Wanda

My first card for today is big and bold, and full of all the favorite colors of Fall! This card features the brand new Hand Picked Harvest Stencils! OH MY GOURD! This is SO pretty in person! Seriously, I had the most fun mixing and matching colors to stencil for this card! This is the entire panel…but there is also a matching embossing folder and a big die that cuts out all the different elements. (I can’t wait to see what everyone made with this one!)…. To me it ended up looking like an old vintage seed packet, so I left it as is, and made my entire card from that panel.
My finished card here is just slightly smaller than 5×7 and I mounted the cream stenciled panel onto a kraft card base. The sentiment is from the new Simple Autumn Sentiments Mini stamp set. I used just a few simple embellishments in order to feature those pretty, colorful images. LOVE this!!
My second card for today is the only card that doesn’t have orange! Ha! One of my other favorite fall color palettes is golden yellow and purple…. This card features the brand new Wildwood Suite. There are Stencils, an embossing folder, and dies! I used the stencils and dies to create a pretty, cozy floral. I used the Capsule Basics as my layering pieces to create a sweet oval card.
I started this card by stenciling the gorgeous Wildwood Stencils onto a cream cardstock and then die cutting it out with the largest Capsule Basic die. I splattered on gold ink for a classy look. I die cut a purple bow using the Regency Bow 2 for a bit more color! For the sentiment I used the Simple Autumn Sentiments and gold embossed onto vellum. I die cut one pretty yellow flower as an accent. This card is perfect for any occasion! And I can’t wait to stencil these gorgeous florals in different colors.
Okay, friends! One more final project for release week! Yeah! You know that I love Halloween and I love making treat boxes and bags…. Well, have I got a fun one for you today! This project features the brand new, latest addition to the Market Place series! This one is called Market Place Eerie Avenue! And it makes a (semi) haunted house! Gosh, it’s the best!
I used the Market Place 1 House along with the Large Arch Box and the new Eerie Avenue stamps and dies to create a spooky treat box. I just adore all the tiny little details and I know you will too – ghosts and bats and a tree and a little tiny fence, and pumpkins! Here is my treat box…..
Here’s a close up of some of the elements…. Little ghosties flying out of the windows. Boo! And the tiny banners… Of course my little house is a COFFEE shop! LOL.
Here is the back of my Arch Box – I used some Halloween paper from my stash. The spiderwebs are part of the new die set. I tied the top using black and orange ribbons and twine…. Feels more festive that way!
I used a new stamp from the Simple Autumn Sentiments and a bat and pumpkin from the new dies to make a little circle hang tag for the top. You’ve been BOO’ed! Hee hee.
There are just too many details to list! That spook tree, and the boarded up windows, the fence, more pumpkins….It’s all fun and you can truly make it your own.
That’s it for today – and day two of our showcase of projects for the Autumn Edit Collection! Thanks for stopping by to share with me yesterday and today! It’s my pleasure to introduce the new release. TOMORROW is release day! YEAH!! Get your shopping list ready! Enjoy this new release and happy crafting!

My first card for today features a few of the new Bigger Autumn Botanicals Dies – the corn, the pumpkin and the mums… SO pretty and so easy to mix and match into your Fall projects. I combined the new items with some previously released favs – like that pretty Cottage Tile Background… My finished card is an A2 kraft card base layered with cream and kraft and then a fall tag! The sentiment is from the brand new Simple Autumn Sentiments stamp set!
I die cut out all the pretty elements: the corn, mums, pumpkin and bow and inked the edges of everything with matching Distress Inks. I die cut out a tag using the Tag Team dies and this is the Regency Bow 2. It all goes together so beautifully! I arranged everything onto the tag using foam squares and created a fall arrangement….
My second card for today is another Autumn bonanza! This card features the brand new Shortbread Shapes Autumn embossing folder and the new Bigger Autumn Botanical Pumpkin and the new Simple Autumn Sentiments stamp set. More fall colors and delicious textures from the gorgeous embossing folder! My card is a kraft card base layered with a bit of orange gingham and then the shortbread panel die cut from cream cardstock….
Here’s a close up of the elements…. I started by embossing and die cutting the backgound panel. Then I die cut out all the shakes and inked them. I coated them with pretty warm gold splatters too! I wanted this card to look vintage so I used some crinkle ribbon and warm brown ink blending in the background. I used foam squares to mount the elements onto the card.
A beautiful gold bow makes this card look complete! And a few pearls too! I am obsessed with all these warm hues and all that gorgeous orange!!
My final card for today features the newest addition to the Bitty Botanicals lineup! This card features the brand new Bitty Autumn Botanicals stamps and stencils. My finished card is a cream A2 card base layered with brown gingham. I stamped and stenciled the Bitty Botanicals and then die cut my panel into an arch! This card is clean and simple…. I used the previously released Diamond Ribbons stencil for the teal portions. (I love a pop of teal with fall colors!)
That’s it for today – day one of the showcase of projects for the The Autumn Edit Collection! Thanks for stopping by to share with me today! It’s my pleasure to introduce the new release. I will be back tomorrow with three more projects!! YEAH!! Don’t miss it!! Happy Fall Y’all!

Hi creative and crafty friends! It’s my day today on The Greetery Blog! How has your Summer been? Can you believe it’s August!? Hot Summer nights, and maybe some fishing?! Today’s card was inspired by Summer colors and themes. Maybe one final blast of summer colors and themes? Not sure yet! I combined lots of old and new supplies from the Greetery to create a vibrant and silly birthday card – birthday fishes! My goal for today is to inspire you to look at your stamping supplies in a different way – for example – carrot leaves as seaweed!… Let’s get started!
My finished card is a white A2 card base. I layered some stripey paper from my stash (to evoke a beach umbrella)… I used the largest die from the Canned Dies to create my white background layer. I used the awesome Making Waves stencils to stencil the background waves. (I used only a portion of the stencil and that’s good too!) See, lots of uses for different items!
Here’s a side view of all the different layers! I combined different sentiments and I love the little banner one! I made my crab pink this time instead of red. I think she’s a girl crab. LOL. And that adorable little smile! Hee hee
I die cut the Honeycomb Crab from salmon pink cardstock and die cut the fishies and party hats from the Something Fishy die set. I thought it would be so cute to have the crab holding up the fish! (This card makes me smile) I used the Botaniuts Carrot dies to make my ‘seaweed’ for some added interest. I used two sentiments on this card – from the Honeycomb Summer Sentiments and the Something Fishy Sentiments. I added some aqua colored enamel dots and glitter as my final touches. This will be a fun card for the fisherman/woman in your life!
Don’t you love that pink + aqua color combo? So fresh!
Have fun – get our your supplies and mix and match everything. Look at your dies in a different way – and who knows what you might come up with! That’s it for my project for today! I hope you have an awesome and creative day! Cheers to the end of Summer and all of it’s magic. It’s my pleasure to share with you every month. I will see you soon… In the meantime, happy crafting! XO Wanda
Hello friends! It’s August and that means it’s time to start Fall crafting! In crafty land, Halloween starts in August. I think someone coined the term Augtober! And I’m for it! One of my favorite Halloween releases every year is from Pretty Pink Posh – it never disappoints. We have had a streak of 8 days over 100 degrees so I am yearning for a cool breeze and sweater weather! Hee hee. I know some of you are Fall people too! Today is release day for the Halloween 2026 collection from PPP. I am sharing two cards today and then I’ll share another one on Instagram next week in the giant Instagram Hop! Yeah!
My first card is classic Halloween – pumpkins and ghosties! This card features the brand new Pumpkin Face dies and the brand new Mini Ghosts stamp set – among other wonderful supplies!! My finished card is an A2 white card base, layered with graphic diagonal stripes and then lots of color and cute elements…
This card has a lot of fun parts! I started by ink blending the background with a pretty teal ink – orange and teal look soooo good together! I then die cut out that big pumpkin and ink blended that too. I die cut the fence, the leaves and the spider web and set those aside…
Next I stamped and die cut out those sweet little ghosties! I used Copic Markers to color them and then added some glitter glue to them… They are so tiny and cute!
I assembled all the pieces onto the card using foam squares for dimension. I added white paint splatters and some orange hears for good measure. I like the graphic look of the stripes behind all that color! This card is very cheerful!!
My second card for today uses the new Halloween supplies to make a FALL card! Complete with a yummy caramel apple and some fall foliage. This card features the brand new Halloween Apple Dies, the brand new Halloween Banner Greetings, and the brand new Pinking Ovals. My finished card is a cream A2 card base, layered with kraft and then more cream to feature that delish apple. I do really love kraft and red together, don’t you!?
I started this card by die cutting that pretty argyle background from kraft cardstock. Then I splattered on some gold ink and wrapped it with a strip of red gingham! I die cut the apple and the leaves and ink blended everything…. Those new Pinking Ovals dies are sooooo perfect! I am going to use those a lot! For the sentiment I used the newest addition to the Banner Greetings suite…
And just because…. Here is a sneak peek of my card for next week’s Instagram Hop! You’re going to love this one! (I do!)
I am wishing you a lovely, peaceful, creative day today. Sending lots of love from my craft room to yours. XOXOXO
