Good morning! I’m so excited that the time has come to start sneak peeks of our first ever holiday collection here at The Greetery! Christmas crafting is the best crafting, in my opinion. ‘Tis the season to spoil those around you with treats and goodies, and it’s even better when they’re handmade.
Without further ado, here is today’s peek! There is a lot to see in this little peek…Day 1 is going to be packed!
There’s a set in this peek that’s particularly special to me. It’s called Christmas Eve and it’s a stamp replica of the little church I grew up in…where I spent every Christmas Eve of the first 18 years of my life (except that one year when it was -30 and the furnace broke and we had to cancel the Christmas Eve service!). I can’t wait to surprise my family with cards made from this set!
I hope you’ll join me the rest of the week as we peek our holiday collection! The full reveals and countdown begin on Monday, and the products go up in the shop on Friday, October 4!

I love the church and the pretty trees! Anxiously awaiting for what comes next. <3
Betsy, your talent amazes me! This sneak peak is tantalizing. I’m looking at the swirling snow die and the shading on the trees and church. Thank you for making these beautiful things available so we can try to make beautiful cards too.
Oh Betsy! I love your little country church! I also see lots of trees and some skinny garland to use❤️. Can hardly wait to see more
I can see that beautiful little church in the photo and it looks simply wonderful. Your Christmas kits have been something I have always looked forward to and this year with The Greetery will be no exception. Waiting with baited breath…
Also the swirling stitch lines!!! 😍

Oh oh… I’m in trouble already… but it’s “good “ trouble!! Eagerly awaiting every days peeks!
Yay! It’s finally time! I’m so excited! Love day 1’s peek!
I told myself no more Christmas stamps but from what I can see here I will probably be breaking that rule, the church reminds me of a decoration from my childhood that I still have
Betsy, I love everything I’ve seen in this sneak peek. I love churches, trees (and villages) so this set is already speaking to me. And the swirls, garlands and stars….love at first twinkle.
OMG can’t wait to see it all. You help make Christmas in more ways than one, at our house.
Thanks for sharing all your talents Betsy!

I have been waiting for this day! Love the beautiful church and all I see! Snowflake dies and a snowflake stencil too!
Such a beautiful stamp, looking forward to seeing the whole set!
Your little white church reminds me of the church I spent many, many years in too…LOVE it! And the trees! And the swirling snow! Ever since you created The Greetery, I’ve been SO excited to see your Christmas release and this sneak peak does not disappoint!! Thank you Betsy!!
Just Gorgeous ! Love it all and can’t wait to see what’s next. Its going to be an amazing Christmas release !
This is perfection! And I love the feelings it envokes. Very similar experience for our small country church, too!! Can’t wait to see the rest!!
All so beautiful! From the paper, made with lines or lines impressed? To the stencil of snowflakes and die-cut snowflakes. And your church, wow. Plus layered trees and garlands and stars and sentiments and probably more I don’t see yet. I am really looking forward to this release and soaking up all the beauty you and the team share, to be able to create and give to others at Christmas.
I absolutely love this sweet church scene and am beyond excited to see the rest of the Christmas reveals! Is it October 4th yet???
You have such a talent. I’m so thrilled that you’ve launched The Greetery and is has been such a success. Here’s too many more releases of fabulous content!
This little church is pretty much exactly my little country church growing up. So similar I got chills. My cousin, Christy, and I grew up there, got married there and I will be buried there. I found out she passed away last night at 48 years old. I thought a lot about all the time we spent that church while talking to other family members last night. This morning this is the first thing I see. I broke down into tears. I hadn’t seen her in probably 8 years. We both live in separate states and live separate lives. I’m so sad. I’m sure this will be a “buy all” release for me. Thank you Betsy. Little did you know you created a stamp set that will forever be “Christy’s set”. Much love.
Marci, just wanted to say how sorry I am about your cousin Christy.
Marci – thank you for sharing your story with me. I’m so sorry for your loss.
“Silver and gold, silver and gold…” Anyone singing with me as it reminds me of the snowman singing this on Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer. Loving the metallic I’m seeing on these gorgeous designs! Really needing some pretty trees!
Oh MY, so beautiful!
Love the swirl in the snow. MN winters always have wind.
So excited to see the first sneak peek!!!! So many beautiful things! Can’t wait to see more 🙂
Absolutely beautiful! Can’t wait to see it all!
The church looks a lot like the church I grew up in as well. I’m always drawn to that design for Christmas. Beautiful! I can’t wait to see the whole collection. Your collections are so well thought out and coordinated.
Will these be regular items in your store or limited time only purchases? Thanks!
Regular items – there will be no limited editions at this time!
I can tell I’m going to fall in love with this stamp set! Love the cute little church and the swirling snow!
OH BETSY! I was looking at your site last night, & told my hubby, I best wait on ordering anything JUST YET, as you were going to start showing us Christmas things! I KNEW your Christmas things would be WONDERFUL!!!!! I LOOOVE what I see & CAN’T WAIT to see MORE! 😉 BEAUTIFUL SNEAK PEAK!!! ;)<3

Oh how special to use your home church as I call the one I grew up in 🙂 I love the glow in the window!
Gorgeous country scene! Love the church and all the amazing additions–the swirly snow and pretty garlands!
Very beautiful!! I love the texture in the background….hmmm, an embossing folder, impression plate, or special paper? I guess we will find out!!
I spy with my little eye 🙂 An embossing folder? Snowflakes and trees and garland and fabulousness! I can almost see my frosty breath as I ooooh and aaaah at this picture!!!
Gorgeous peeks of this beautiful set! Love the scene with the church, and the Christmas tree looks so pretty! Can’t wait to see more!
