The Greetery - District Twelve25 Shop Hop Week 5

__________________________________

Welcome to Week 5 of this fabulous Holiday Release!  I'm so excited to share two fun projects using the new District Twelve25 Window Shopping Collection from The Greetery! I had the best time creating these sweet little storefronts, and I love how many possibilities with all the store fronts in this collection. Today I'm sharing a festive Christmas bookshop Card along with a coffee shop-inspired card set, complete with its own coordinating A2 stationery box!

Dickens & Co. Bookshop

For my first project, I created a sweet little Christmas bookshop using the Atelier Die, Atelier Embossing Folder, and Window Shopping Die.

I started with a pretty aqua storefront, adding all that beautiful architectural detail with the embossing folder. I love how the raised details give the building so much character!

Next, I added the windows and the bright red and white striped awning. Using the Atelier Signage Stamp Set, I turned my little storefront into Dickens & Co. Bookshop. I tucked colorful books into the window displays and added a tiny teddy bear die peeking out of an upstairs window.

To finish off the Christmas look, I added greenery with little red bows from Bow-tique Holiday Stamp Set and a wreath above the windows. I love how those bright red accents pop against the aqua storefront!

I layered everything onto a Rainforest background, and I just love how this little Christmas shop turned out!

Coffee Shop Cards and A2 Stationery Box

For my second project, I created a fun coffee shop storefront along with four coordinating clean and simple cards, all tucked inside a handmade A2-sized stationery box!

I used The Greetery's Stationery Box Die to create an A2-sized card box using woodgrain cardstock. I started with the coffee shop storefront, using the Atelier Die and Atelier Embossing Folder again. This time I added a dark teal sign with gold lettering, along with another fun red and white striped awning.

I used the Window Shopping Dies to create the colorful stack of coffee cups and the sweet little cake stand in the window. I finished the storefront with an OPEN sign and a tiny coffee cup on the door.

For the coordinating cards, I kept everything super clean and simple!

Each card features a little stack of colorful coffee cups and a covered cake stand sitting on a woodgrain shelf, all from the Window Shopping Dies. I added a tiny red heart to each cake cover for the sweetest finishing touch!

For the sentiments, I used the Hearts at Home Sentiments Stamp Set. These cards all coordinate while still having their own coffee sentiment. 

They were so easy to put together with a little die cutting, layering, and stamping!  I do love quick and simple!

I used a combination of Juniper, Sea Glass, Poppy, and Buttercup cardstocks. These colors look so fun together, and I love how the bright card bases really make the tiny die cuts stand out. The color combo worked great for the holiday bookshop and an everyday Coffee shop set. 

The back of the box has a rounded flap closure, and I added a tiny Juniper coffee cup to the front for a simple finishing touch.

All four coordinating coffee cards fit perfectly inside the box!

This would make such a sweet handmade gift for a coffee-loving friend, teacher, or anyone who enjoys sending cards. I love being able to create a complete gift set using coordinating products!

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. 😂
