The Greetery - District Twelve15 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

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

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!

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. 😂
