The Greetery - The Autumn Edit Collection Day 1





It’s almost fall…even though here in Kansas, it still feels a little like the surface of the sun! ☀️ Thankfully, the new Autumn Edit Collection has arrived at The Greetery just in time, and it definitely has me dreaming of crisp air and cooler temperatures.

__________________________________

To create this card, I used these supplies:


For this card, I started with a cream cardstock base and embossed a kraft panel using the Shortbread Shapes: Rectangle Autumn Embossing Folder. I love all of the subtle autumn images in the background—it adds so much texture without taking away from the focal point.

For the centerpiece, I used the Bigger Autumn Botanicals Corn Die and die cut the pieces in a mix of warm fall colors. I layered the corn and leaves together, then added the sweet little bow created with the Diamond Ribbons Die. I popped the whole bundle up on the embossed panel for some extra dimension.

To finish it off, I stamped the “autumn BLESSINGS” sentiment from the Simple Autumn Sentiments Stamp Set along the bottom of the card. I love the simple, rustic feel of this one—the kraft, cream, and those little pops of fall color work so well together!

For card #2 I used:


As soon as I spotted the oak leaf in the embossing folder, I knew I had to pull out the BotaniCuts Mighty Oak Die! I started by embossing the cream cardstock, then used the Shortbread Shapes Rectangle Die to cut the embossed pieces into squares. I arranged the squares into strips and added them to the card base with foam tape for a little extra dimension.

Next, I die cut the oak leaves in several different fall colors and arranged them on the card front. To finish it off, I added a Tear Strip Banner with a sentiment using the Simple Autumn Mini Sentiment Stamp Set. I love how all of these different elements came together for such a warm, fall-inspired card!

On today's last card, I used:


For this card, I went with another cream cardstock base. I used the Postal Frames Die to add a little extra detail, cutting a panel from vellum and layering it with a stamped and stenciled panel created with the Bitty Autumn Botanicals. I just love all of those sweet little pumpkins and gourds!

To carry that theme through, I grabbed the Gooseneck Gourd Die, paper pieced it together, and popped it up on the card front for some added dimension. I finished everything off with another Tear Strip Banner and sentiment. Such a fun fall card with lots of little details!

A little info about commenting here on my blog....


A quick note about comments! My comments are moderated because, unfortunately, I get a TON of spam—the kind telling me about cholesterol medication and all sorts of other weird bot things. 😂 So, if you leave a comment and don’t see it right away, don’t worry! I’ll see it and get it posted for you.

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.

If you’re having trouble leaving a comment, or you’re not sure whether your name is showing up with your comment, please do me one little favor:

Add your name and email address to the end of your comment.

That way, if your comment is chosen as a winner, we’ll know exactly who you are and how to reach you!

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.

But, again…

Blogger is a pain. 😂

Tomato Tomato Card

To create this card I used:


The Greetery - La Dolce Vida Collection July 2026


These tomatoes are just adorable!  I die cut and layered up the piece to create this cute little stem.  I added them to a striped card base and a panel made with the Postal Frames dies.  To finish it off, I added the adorable sentiment from Tomato Tomato Stamp Set and added in a few dew drops.

A Note To Say Hello Card

To create this card I used:



The Greetery - La Dolce Vida Collection July 2026

This one was super easy as i wanted to draw all the attention to this gorgeous embossing folder called Shortbread Shapes: Rectangle Tiles Embossing Folder.  I first use the Shortbread Shapes Rectangle Die and cut out the white cardstock.  Using that die cut, I embossed it with the folder.  Doing this part 2nd gives you a much crisper embossed image.  I layered it with some dark blue cardstock and added it to the card base with a sentiment from the Simple Everyday Sentiment Stamp Set



The Greetery - La Dolce Vida Collection July 2026

This last card was a fun little scene to create.  First up was the blue card base.  I needed clouds so I went way back to a must have set called Sunset Skies Stamp Set and added in white puffy clouds in the background. I used the Rolling Hills Die along with the Rolling Hills Stencil to create the hills.  I added in the sweet little Countryside Mini Villa Die for the house and trees.  I stamped and die cut the Rolling Hills Bella Terra Addition Stamp Set flowers for the hill top and then added in the sentiment from Simple Everyday Sentiments on the Shortbread Shapes: Rectangle Labels die cut.

Birthday Fishes Gift Box

To create this project I used:


The Greetery - La Dolce Vida Collection July 2026

This was a fun project to create.  I never thought I would ever build a sardine can LOL!  I used the canned dies to layer up the box with the base using 3 of the large can die cuts.  The first layer is kraft, then red and then the top is the silver cardstock.  

The fun part about the scored die included in the Canned die set is that the red flap on this 2nd layer becomes a door.  It is attached at the top but can easily be opened to reveal a gift card or cash inside.  So this little gift box will be hiding a an extra surprise!

After I attached the cash with some low tack removable adhesive, I glued the red panel onto the kraft panel to enclose the gift.  

After having the base complete, I attached the can front to the Arched Box Large Die.  It fits perfectly behind the large Canned die.  I layered the front with the silver panel, the little fish dies and the sentiments on the front to finish off the can part of the project.   

AND then you can fit one more surprise inside!

The Greetery - La Dolce Vida Collection July 2026

I added a little bag of Swedish Fish with a label made using the Ciao Bella Border Stamp Set and the Something Fishy Sentiment Stamp Set.

The Greetery - La Dolce Vida Collection July 2026

One last detail was a tag from Something Fishy Sentiment Stamp Set on the back of the die to finish it all off!

Coastal Cuttings Thank You Card

To create this card I used:


The Greetery - La Dolce Vida Collection July 2026

For this card, I used a yellow card base layered with the Cottage Tile Background Die. It is a large die but very easy to cut down to an A2 sized card front.  Coastal Cuttings Die Set was so easy to die cut and piece together.  I popped it up on foam tape and added in the Loopy Bow Builder Die in gold cardstock.  Adding in the sentiment from Simple Everyday Sentiment Stamp Set was last on that perfect little banner die from Sentiment Suite Basics Die Set.

The Greetery - La Dolce Vida Collection July 2026

I had so much fun creating today's projects!  Remember everything you see here will be available on Friday, July 10th at 10am eastern.

The Greetery - Hey Honey It's Summer!
