Hi everyone! It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Time for the Christmas 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!
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 first week of the festivities! Today’s day is called Noel Needleworks! The entire design team and Betsy are sharing projects today. Then, this part of the new release will be available for shopping TOMORROW 10/15! 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. 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! Orders will ship immediately (within our typical processing times) and will not be held/combined with subsequent releases. These are not limited edition products. Just like our other releases, if items sell out we will do our best to restock them as quickly as possible!

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
