We had Christmas galore here on the blog for the last few weeks, but in reality, the air is just starting to get a twinge of that autumn crispness! The summer heat just wants to hang on this year! So today I wanted to share an Insta-Inspiration post with you featuring our Bountiful Wreath set. This amazing project by Caly Person is just gorgeous!
I love how she added shading to the stamped images using colored pencils. It’s one of my favorite techniques of late, and Caly did such an amzing job with it.. I also love how she used the Halfsies: Diamond die along the bottom of the wreath as well. Caly posted this card on Instagram a few weeks back, and I wanted to share it with you here (thanks for letting me share, Caly!)
Occasionally I’ll be sharing projects here that I come across on Instagram. Be sure to tag us with #thegreetery so we can see what you’re up to! If we feature your project in an Insta-Inspiration post you’ll receive a $20 gift certificate to the shop!
Now for a shipping update for the release orders. We are working our tails off picking and packing! With past releases, we’ve been able to get all of the release weekend orders out by Monday, but I’m afraid that was not the case this time. Due to the large number of orders, and also the size of the individual orders, it is taking us quite a bit longer to get through them this time around. We are making good progress, and *hope* to have all Friday orders picked and packed by the end of the day today (Tuesday), although they won’t all make the mail pick-up cut off. We should be able to finish picking and packing the remaining orders on Wednesday. I know the wait is not fun, so we are doing our absolute best to get them out as quickly as possible.
Thank you so much everyone! I hope your week is off to a great start!

I can’t wait to receive my “VW bus” stamp set. I got my shipping confirmation yesterday. I have started to stalk my mailman, yikes! LOL
Thanks Betsy for the shipping update… really appreciate the communication! This was a fantastic release, can’t wait to start creating with all of my treasures!
Beautiful card!
Beautiful card! Thank you for keeping us updated!! This release is definitely worth the wait!! Tfs!!;)
What a nice idea to share your customers creativity and reward them! Also, I am very happy that you are keeping us in the loop about releases, orders, picking and restocking. Makes us know we are valued as customers!! Thank You and keep up the great work!
Thank you for the shipping update. I think we all knew it was going to be massive. Your honesty without excuses is much appreciated. One of the many reasons your customers adore you and your new business.
Thanks for the terrific communication. I got my release date stuff amazingly fast. Your stamps are so unique and evocative. Now I am waiting for the tree stamps from your last release to be back in stock. I have never fallen so hard, so fast for a stamp company. Thank you for your vision.
Debbie’s earlier comment said it well! Pretty wreath card Caly!
SO EXCITING to have a package on the way! I’m SO HAPPY that EVERYONE ELSE is as excited as I am to have a package coming! The above wreath is BEAUTIFUL, Betsy!!! SO SORRY I don’t do Instagram & HOPE I’m visited too on my blog! AND don’t forget about SCS! There are others who post there also! Maybe, you need an emissary on SCS???
Thanks for sharing my card, Betsy! So glad to hear your release is doing well-I had no doubts!
Your card is just gorgeous. The pencil addition is HUGE. The colors are beautiful.
I appreciate the shipping update, a little communication goes a long way!
I ordered at 03 seconds after the site went live (I swear) and my order WAS large. I live in a small town in Florida that’s usually a day behind because of the mail-hops, but I received my package yesterday and I’ve been fondling everything, since I haven’t had a chance to actually pull the inks out yet. I’m trying VERY hard to get Autumn (halloween, thanksgiving) done before I use these. It’s going to be a struggle. Thanks Betsy for the wonderful product and the amazing customer service.
I am glad you posted, wee were worries something had happened to you. Glad it is just a blessing of lots of big orders ! We will just drool over those who have gotten theirs already and patiently wait in ours! You have such speedy customer service !!! We are spoiled by you.
Beautiful, love the colors!
Thank you for sharing the beautiful card. I appreciate your update on shipping. I ordered later so I know I will have to wait a bit longer and thats ok.
All I can say is that it’s worth the wait for your stamps and dies.
Heartfelt thanks for letting us know, Betsy!💕 It will be SO worth the wait!! I spent the whole day on WCMD playing with stamps, dies, and stencils from The Greetery. What a joy! It feels like Autumn has finally arrived in my little studio space. Today I’m writing notes in the cards before mailing them off.
Caly’s card is truly lovely! So happy that you shared it with us here. Thank you inspiring us in so many wonderful ways, Betsy!💗
Beautiful! I wish there was a Christmas theme stamp like this one.
That’s a lovely fall card that Caly Person made! Thank you for sharing it with us. I’m creating Halloween cards while I wait for this most beautiful Christmas release. Well worth the wait in my estimation. I expect I’ll be ordering again in awhile since there were so many things I wanted (old and new) but I was over budget at the time. Love your creations, Betsy!
I’m so happy you had a large number of orders and also large orders! I don’t mind waiting a bit on my order.
Love seeing how other people use your wonderful products. I’ll be excited to receive my order whenever it arrives. Definitely worth the wait. Thanks for the shipping update and congratulations on a wonderful release!
My first order is going to be delivered tomorrow and my other 2 orders on Friday that’s fast delivery gorgeous card also, I also want to comment that your product held out so everyone can enjoy in your inspiration and get started with the Christmas season that’s important to us as customers Thanks
I would really like to see more projects made with your stamps and dies from your team.
Betsy, I was out of town on Release Day but just wanted to say how wonderful it is that you’re communicating with your customers. Another very impressive release and thrilled you’re getting lots of orders and BIG ones, too. It’s very hard to resist your designs. 😊 Caly’s card is beautiful.
I got my order on Tuesday, I was out of town, but couldn’t wait to get home and play! Betsy, you think of everything and you are a first class company!!!
Beautiful, beautiful card Caly. Thank you Betsy for sharing and for all your hard work. 😊💝
