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!
