Happy Veteran’s Day today! If you or your family have served our country – thank you. I honor and support you and thank you for your service. My hubs and I are both children of veterans and we know how important it is to remember. (I was actually born on a Navy base too!). So today I am mindful of the sacrifice so many have made for me. Bless you.
Hi everyone! It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Time to continue with the more of 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 five now! And there is one more week to come! It’s been a fun ride! Thanks for all the support and thanks for sharing the fun and enthusiasm with me!
Today is the first day of the FIFTH week of the festivities! This week’s release is called Window Shopping! A new set of products that make the most gorgeous storefronts! I can see that Betsy was INSPIRED when she made this fun collection!! Stamps, dies, stencils and an embossing folder all combine together to make adorable stores/ateliers. It’s literally perfect. The entire design team and Betsy are sharing projects today. Then, this part of the new release will be available for shopping TOMORROW 11/12! Next week, we’ll do it all again one final time. WOOHOOO! This has been so fun to show you!
Today I’m sharing two cards I made with the new products! The products are called Atelier Signage and Embossing Folder, Atelier Accessories, and the Window Shopping die! You can make both A7 cards and A2 cards!! Today, to show you, I made one large card and one small card. Also I made one Christmas card and one non-Christmas card. These items are so utterly versatile. I know you’re going to be obsessed like I am!!

(I WILL UPDATE WITH THE NEW ITEMS TOMORROW!)
My first card to share is the larger card (5×7) and it is the non-Christmas card! OH! I had so so much fun creating this card! If you know me at all, you could probably guess that I would make a coffee shop! Ha. I love a coffee shop! One of my fav things to do is get a coffee and a treat and just visit with my friends. Here is the inspiration for today’s card! Ralph’s Coffee Shop! I hope you see my vision!! I started out with that gorgeous hunter green with accents of black and white and kraft! I used doilies for curtains and little enamel dots for accents….
I started by using the extra thick embossing folder with the green paper to make the building’s embossed accents. Then I used the matching die to cut out the windows and the door. It is so cool how it all lines up! I die cut a second window section out of woodgrain paper and hand cut around them to frame the windows up top. There are little matching dies for all the accent pieces so you can use whatever color combo you like.

I used both of the awning dies and I used the matching stencil with black ink to make my perfectly striped awnings! One fits up top and one fits on the storefront window. Love this!!
I used acetate sheets to line the storefront windows and the door. Just makes it look a bit more realistic and professional. Like at Ralph’s Coffee Shop I used a bear and green cups!! There are all kinds of stamps to make all kinds of stores!

And OF COURSE Betty thought to give us a die set to make a little folding sign to put out front! Like of course she did!! I used white pigment ink on black cardstock to make the perfect little sign. I cut small pieces out of a doily to make the tiny curtains!
My card is a 5×7 kraft card base and I put tiny green gingham paper on the card front and then I used foam tape (lines) to attach the storefront to the card. I like that there’s a bit of depth for the windows especially.

My second are is an A2 kraft card base and I used only part of the big storefront die to make it! It’s basically the same exact die/embossing folder combo, but without the top row of windows! So clever! I used pink for my Frosty Pines Flower Shop! I seriously love all the little accent stamps! An open sign, an address, the store names…so many fun things to mix and match.
I love pink and red together for Christmas! I used the previously released Holiday Festoons Dies to make a little gold Christmas banner for the top.

The door is open – come on in! I made the little wreaths and added some pearls. And a heart for a door handle. Lots of pretty white fluffy snow too!

I used tiny gingham from my (very old) stash to make the awning and added more snow on top of it! Can’t you feel the chill in the air? Brrrr.
