This first card was super quick and easy to make.  Here are my supplies:


The Greetery - Fete & Fiesta May 2026 Release


3 simple products to make this quick card.   After die cutting the arched panel, I added it to a white card base with fun foam for some dimension.  Next, I stamped the sentiment from Laid Back Basics.  I absolutley love this font!  I die cut all the little pieces for the bike and balloons from the new Market Place Celebration Street Die set.   Super easy!!

Next up is the new Pretty Picado Suite.  Here are the new products I used for this card:


And the supplies for the box:



The Greetery - Fete & Fiesta May 2026 Release


To create this 5"x7" card, I first die cut the large scalloped die and the largest capsule die using orange and white card stock.  I added the color to the capsule using the Pretty Picado Stencils.  I just love the design that was so easy to make with a little ink blending!  Next, I placed the stenciled panel into the embossing folder and lined it up with the embossing lines.  I ran it through my die cut machine and out came the perfectly embossed panel! I attached it to the large scalloped panel and then added in the sentiment from the Pretty Picado Stamp Set.  I heat embossed the Hello with some glittery embossing powder and added it to the card front to finish it off. 


The Greetery - Fete & Fiesta May 2026 Release


After stamping a piece of orange cardstock with the Pretty Picado Background Stamp and some Versamark Ink, I die cut the Arched Mini Box to coordinate with the card.  I used the Pretty Picado Cut-Away Sentiment Die to add a fun detail to the box and then lined it with white cardstock.  I finished off the box with a coordinated green bow to tie in the treat!

My comments are moderated because I get a ton of spam.  The kind of spam that tells me about cholesterol medication, among others, and just weird bot comments so I filter those out.  If you leave a comment and don't see it, thats ok!  I will see it and I will get it posted for you.  

The other issue is wether or not you need a google account.  I have my comments set to "anyone" so technically you should be able to leave a comment with any type of login, but Blogger is a pain.  If you can't leave a comment and are not sure if you your name is posting along with your comment, 

please add your name and email address to the end of your comment. 

This way we can see who you are if your comment gets chosen as a winner!  I am sorry for the annoyance.  I have no idea why it doesn't work like it should.  I have googled and switched settings around and tried all the things but again... 

Blogger is a pain.

This spring release is amazing!  The Greetery always has the most beautiful stamps and stencils and I love how I can use these details images to create Clean and Simple Cards. 

This first card was super quick and easy to make.  Here are my supplies:



The Greetery - Spring Jardin March 2026

I die cut and paper pieced this adorable little silly goose and added him to a striped card front.  I gave him the balloon and a fun sentiment from the Silly Goose Stamp Set.  

  __________________________________


This month, there are a new group of dies called Bigger Botanicals.  There are 8 new die sets to add the most beautiful paper blooms to your projects!  


The Greetery - Spring Jardin March 2026


For this clean and simple card, I added a cream color card front to a white card base after using the scalloped die from the new Golden Egg Set.  I die cut and layered up the Soapwort dies and then added it to the frame.  The sentiment finished off the card!

 __________________________________


One last card today using the new Golden Egg products. 



The Greetery - Spring Jardin March 2026





To create this card, I stenciled that adorable egg on pink cardstock with some gold ink.  I die cut the egg and the center to create the egg frame.  I did a little background embossing with the Aida Cloth Texture Plate on the white card base and then layered the egg and the blue tinted panel behind it.  I added that cute patoote little bunny from Bunny Kisses Die and then added in the sentiment from Shortbread Shapes: Scalloped Hearts Die.

The Greetery - Spring Jardin Collection - Day 1

  



The Greetery's newest Collection, Spring Jardin, will be available Monday, March 15th at 10am EST over at TheGreetery.com.  Click HERE to see the full collection!

  __________________________________


I have 3 cards to share today so lets get started! First let me share a new favorite, Tangled Tulips Stamp and Stencil set.  

To create this card I used:


This Stamp and Stencil combo is so gorgeous and has a couple extras to make it even better!  Of course, it pairs with The Capsule Basics Die set, but also comes with a Tangled Tulips Die Set and the Tangled Tulips Embossing Folder. 



The Greetery - Spring Jardin March 2026


To create this card, I stamped and Stenciled the Tulip border and then added it to the largest Capsule Die for the background.  I stamped the sentiment and then popped up the Tangled Tulips Details die, which was super easy to paper piece together!  I layered the whole thing on the Capsule Basics Scalloped die for an extra pop of red!

 __________________________________


This next little cutie was made with these supplies:



The Greetery - Spring Jardin March 2026

To create this card, I first used the Shortbread Shapes: Rectangle die to cut out the grid on the cream colored cardstock.  Next, I placed the cardstock inside the embossing folder, lining it up with the grid from the die cut lines.  I embossed the cardstock after die cutting to give it a nice, crisp look!
To finish off the card, I added the embossed panel to a pink, square card base and the die cut the bunny for the font.  Adding the Rectangle Label with the new sentiment from Simple Spring Sentiments was the last step!

Oh and if you can peek the little bow around the bunnies neck, that came from the Silly Goose Die Set!  It words perfectly for the bunnies!

One last card today using another new Shortbread Embossing Folder....



The Greetery - Spring Jardin March 2026


This one was super simple to make and very similar to the bunny card.  This time I paper pieced these adorable Silly Geese and added them to the embossed panel.  I matted it with a pice of 90s blue and then put it on a white card base.  I finished it off with a sentiment!

The Greetery - Amour Market Collection - Day 2

 



The Greetery's newest Colletion, Amour Market, will be available Friday, January 23rd at 10am EST over at TheGreetery.com.  Click HERE to see the full collection on Friday!

  __________________________________


I have 3 quick and simple projects to share today so lets get started! 

This first card is a 5x7 card.  I never make this size but this was so much fun and easy with these new products:

Shortbread Shapes: Scalloped Hearts Embossing Folder

Shortbread Shapes: Scalloped Hearts Die

Capsule Valentine Gallery Prints

Whole Hearted Die

Shortbread Shapes: Rectangle Labels Die

Simple Valentine Sentiments Stamp Set


The Greetery - Amour Release - January 2026


To create this card, I used the Shortbread Shapes: Scalloped Hearts Embossing Folder to create 3 layers.  I used the Shortbread Shapes: Scalloped Hearts Die to cut 2 layers.  I used the first embossed piece for the background panel of the 5x7 card.  Then I cut out the largest die shape for a 2nd layer and the scalloped heart layer for the 3rd.  I added in the pink bow dies on each end. To add in color, I used the heart die to cut a piece out of the Capsule Valentine Gallery Prints.  I attached it all to the card front with a heat embossed sentiment.


  __________________________________

Here is what I used for this next little candy bag....





I used the Shortbread Shapes: Rectangle Hearts Embossing Folder to create this next project.  I added some dark chocolate squares to a glassine bag and layered this amazing embossed detail to the front. I layered the front panel with a heart lined with the Filagree Hearts Die, a little Rosemal detail in there and another sentiment with the Shortbread Shapes: Rectangle Labels Die.


The Greetery - Amour Release - January 2026

Last up, a very quick and easy Valentines Banner using a few new products.  



The Greetery - Amour Release - January 2026


I die cut and embossed 5 of the large Shortbread shapes, 5 scalloped mats from Capsule Basics Die Set, and then die cut 5 of the Capsule Valentine Gallery Prints.  I layered them all up with foam tape for some dimension.  Next, I added the Regency Bow No 1 on 2 of the panels and used the small bow from the Shortbread Shapes: Scalloped Hearts Die in gold cardstock on the other 3.  I added a sentiment to one using the Shortbread Shapes: Rectangle Labels Die and Simple Valentine Sentiments Stamp Set.  I cut 2 holes in the top of each panel and threaded some red and white twine through eacy.  You could add so many more details but the details in these products alone make for a fun little EASY banner!

Here are a few close ups....
