    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.

  • The Greetery – District Twelve/25 Collection – Week 2! The Evergreen Collective!

    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 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….

    (I WILL UPDATE WITH THE NEW ITEMS TOMORROW!)

    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!

    My second card today features the brand new Brimming Baskets dies and embossing folder, and the brand new Berry Bouquet Builder dies…Oh, and those teeny tags/stamps too! My finished card is an A2 kraft card base. I layered on plaid and two different A2 arches. I stamped snowflakes onto the top layer and gently inked both layers…

    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!

    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!

    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!

  • Hey Boo! Time for some Halloween cards!

    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!!

  • The Greetery – Spooky Greetings! Happy October!

    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.

  • Pretty Pink Posh – Beautiful Fall 2026 new release! Scarecrows and leaves and pumpkins!

    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!

    I added a few little orange hearts to just add a little more orange to the project. Most of the elements are affixed to the card using foam squares.

    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.

  • The Greetery – Life is Beautiful – Fall Rose Tapestry Card!

    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.
