The Greetery - District Twelve25 Shop Hop Week 4

Hello crafty friends! Welcome to Week 4 of the District Twelve25 Shop Hop at The Greetery!

Today I'm sharing a sweet little Christmas card featuring products from The Greetery's Christmas Confectionary Collection! I just love all the adorable holiday images in this set, and they are so much fun to mix and match to create a festive little arrangement!

I started with a white card base and added some scored lines to add some subtle texture to the background. I love how those simple embossed lines add just the right amount of detail without taking away from the colorful images.

Next, I added a bright red Cozy Cup Coaster behind a cream-colored Crimped Circle Die to create a fun little cookie plate. The red adds such a festive pop of color!

For the focal point, I used the Christmas Confections Stamp + Stencil along with the coordinating Christmas Confections Die to create all those sweet little holiday images. I chose a traditional Christmas color combination of red, pink, and mint green, with touches of darker green for contrast.

I arranged the pieces together on the circle, overlapping the pieces to create lots of dimension. I love how all these little images work together to make such a yummy plate!

To finish off the card, I added the sentiment "From Our Home to Yours" along the bottom using the Christmas Confections Sentiment Additions Stamp Set and also added some sugar to the cookies, paint splatter and a spritz of glitter.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope this inspires you to pull out your favorite Christmas supplies and create something sweet!

You can find all these products and more in The Greetery's Holiday 2026 Collection!

The other issue seems to be whether or not you need a Google account to comment. I have my settings set to “Anyone,” so technically you should be able to leave a comment using any type of login…but Blogger is a pain.

I’m sorry for the extra hassle. I’ve Googled, changed settings, switched things around, and tried all the things. I have no idea why it doesn’t work the way it should.

The Greetery | Novelties and Nativites Release Day!

Hello Greetery friends! It’s Laurie Willison here!

It's release day over at The Greetery, and I am so excited that the Novelties & Nativities collection is finally here!  One of my favorite projects was the sweet little light-up nativity I created using the Capsule Nativity Scene Die. I just love how this tiny scene came together! Adding a little battery-operated light inside made it even more special. It's such a fun way to create a handmade Christmas decoration or a thoughtful little gift!

There are so many creative possibilities with this release, and I hope you've enjoyed seeing all the fun new products in action!

The Novelties & Nativities collection is available to shop today at 10 AM Eastern over at The Greetery!

The Greetery - District Twelve25 Shop Hop Week 3

Welcome to Week 3 of the Holiday Releases over at The Greetery!  This week we have some new dies to share that I had SO much fun using!

To see Week 1 and 2, click HERE to check the full releases.

I love finding creative ways to use my favorite dies beyond traditional cardmaking, and these projects are perfect examples. From a beautiful light-up Nativity scene to adorable handmade gift packaging, both projects are perfect for adding a little handmade charm to the Christmas season!

A Glowing Christmas Nativity

For my first project, I created a sweet little Christmas decoration using the Capsule Nativity Scene Die. I love how this die creates such a beautiful scene using cardstock!

After assembling the back 2 Nativity scene dies with a thick foam tape between layers, I die cut the first layer into the Stationery Box Die  base. After assembling the box,  I tucked a tiny LED light inside to give it a soft, warm glow. The light brings the entire scene to life and makes such a pretty little decoration for the Christmas season!

This would be a lovely addition to a mantel, shelf, or holiday tablescape. It would also make a thoughtful handmade gift!

A Sweet Handmade Gift

For my second project, I use the Market Tote Die and Market Tote Mini Die to create the cutest little gift packaging!

After assembling the Tote and Mini tote in white cardstock and yellow cardstock, I used the Capsule Quilt Shop Embossing Folder, Capsule Quilt Shop Stencil, and Capsule Quilt Shop Die to add beautiful quilted details on the front of each tote. I just love the texture and dimension these products create! They give the totes such a cozy, handmade feel that is perfect for a homemade sweet treat.

For the larger tote, I added a sentiment from the Simple Holiday Sentiments Stamp Set set to the front. And what better way to finish off a handmade gift than with a homemade chocolate chip cookie tucked inside?

The combination of the quilted design, sweet sentiment, and homemade treat makes this such a fun little gift! These totes would be perfect for neighbors, teachers, friends, or anyone who could use a little handmade gift.

I hope these projects inspire you to look at your dies in a whole new way! Sometimes the smallest handmade details make the sweetest gifts, and I love that these projects can be enjoyed throughout the Christmas season.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, and happy crafting!

The Greetery | Evergreen Collective Release Day!

Happy Wednesday, friends!

 It's time for another fun week at The Greetery's District Twelve25 Holiday Shop Hop, and this week's collection is all about the beautiful Evergreen Collective and will be available today, October 21st at 10am eastern!

I have loved sharing a little holiday inspiration with you this week! There is just something about Christmas greenery that makes my heart happy. From beautiful evergreens and festive details to all those little touches that make handmade cards so special, this collection is filled with so many possibilities!  I also used the Ornament Box Top Vertical Rubber Stamp to create today's card along with the Bow-Tique Holday Stamp Set and coordinating die. 

One of my favorite things about The Greetery is how beautifully the products work together. I love mixing and matching different elements, adding layers and dimension, and watching a card come together. The Evergreen Collective is perfect for creating those classic Christmas designs that never go out of style!

As we wrap up another week of inspiration, I hope you've found a few ideas to tuck away for your own holiday cardmaking. Whether you're getting a head start on Christmas cards or simply adding a few new goodies to your crafty collection, there is so much to love!

The Greetery - District Twelve25 Shop Hop Week 2

I'm so excited to share two festive Christmas cards featuring some beautiful products from The Greetery! I went with a traditional holiday color palette of bright reds, fresh greens, and touches of gold. Both cards have lots of dimension and detail, but each has its own unique look! Everything you see today will be available for purchase, Thursday, Ocotber 22nd at 10am EDT over at The Greetery!

Merry Christmas with Bow-tique Holiday

Bow-tique Holiday Stamp Set
Bow-tique Holiday Die
A2 Arches Die

For my first card, I started with the A2 Arches Die to create a window in a bright red cardstock panel. I love how the arch frames the Christmas greenery and gives the card such a clean, classic look!

For the focal point, I used the Bow-tique Holiday Stamp Set and coordinating Die to create a beautiful Christmas tree filled with lush green branches, little red bows, and gold ornaments. I love all the tiny details in this set! The red bows really pop against the greenery, while the gold accents add just the right amount of holiday sparkle.

I finished the card with the coordinating Merry Christmas sentiment, following the curve of the arch. I love how it ties everything together and creates such a festive little scene!

Christmas Greenery with Brimming Baskets

Berry Bouquet Builder Die
Teeny Tags Holiday Stamp Set

Cathedral Die

For my second card, I wanted to create something full of beautiful holiday greenery with a little bit of elegance!

I started with a cream linen cardstock panel and used the Cathedral Die to create the pretty architectural detail in the background. I love the subtle interest it adds without taking away from the arrangement.

Next, I used the Brimming Baskets Die and Embossing Folder to create my basket. The embossed texture adds so much realistic detail and gives the basket a beautiful woven appearance!

Then came the fun part—filling it with greenery! I used the Berry Bouquet Builder Die to create layers of leafy branches and bright red berries. I mixed several shades of green cardstock to give the arrangement extra depth and a more natural look. I tucked the different branches together, allowing some of the greenery and berries to spill over the edges of the basket.

To finish things off, I added a gorgeous gold bow, from the Fit to be Tied Die, to the center of the arrangement. I love how the metallic gold catches the light and adds a little elegance! The tiny Merry Christmas tag was created with the Teeny Tags Holiday Stamp Set and Teeny Tags Die and tucked right into the bow.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope these projects inspire you to for some Christmas card making!  Shop the full releases on the 22nd by clicking HERE!
