It’s time to announce the two winners of the sticker giveaway! Each release brings some fun new packaging to The Greetery, including a cute sticker that wraps up your goodies. I offered to give away 10 stickers to two random comments that guessed this month’s sticker. Those of you that have gotten your orders probably already know that it’s the adorable bus from Christmas Care-A-Van!
Our two winners are Renee and Carrie K! If you could send an email with your address info to customerservice@thegreetery.com we’ll get your stickers out to you!
Just a quick update on shipping and out of stock items before I share a project with you. All release orders have shipped and as of yesterday (Thursday) we are back to our usual same day/next day after 2:00pm EDT shipping schedule. woohoo!
As for out of stock items, no worries, everything will be restocked. Dies will be back in a couple of weeks, and any out of stock stamps will be back in about 4 weeks. Many have asked about the clear bubbles. We actually have a bit of stock left, we just need to get a chance to get them packaged up and then we’ll add them to the shop. Hopefully by early next week. This will not be a huge stock of them, but we have more coming.
Now for a quick project. After the busyness of the last few months I got to enjoy an annual day out with some friends yesterday! One of our stops was Bath & Body Works to pick up a few fall scents and check out what’s new for the holidays. I always find their packaging inspiring! Do you ever find yourself out and about and see something that makes you want to go stamp a card? 🙂 I love the new labels on these soaps…
I thought I could totally make a card like that! I pulled out my With Love at Christmas set and started by heat embossing the frame from the set in the center of a panel of cardstock. I then masked it off and stamped some of the individual flowers and greenery sprigs from the set around the frame. I also heat embossed a few of them with gold powder. I finished by stamping a sentiment from the Sentiment Suite: Thank You set inside the frame. I created some matching envelopes using the Flappable stencil set, and this time I sponged the striped stencil with Versamark and heat embossed it with gold powder. That turned out really fun!
Inspiration is every where, I hope you find some today that gets your creative juices flowing! Thanks for stopping by today!

Your cards are beautiful! I’ll have to try some cards like this; I really love how you masked off the center and stamped florals and greenery around it. 🙂 Congratulations to the winners!
I love it when you have more posts with the new products. I keep hoping to get more inspiration from your team. I love the cards and envelopes. I am excited to get my order and start creating.
Betsy I love your inspiration cards. They are beautiful. I Can’t wait to get my “With Love at Christmas “ stamp set, which is arriving today! (Love the updates on arrival messages we get.) thanks for the inspiration.
Congrats to the winners. Love your cards and your inspiration.
I totally understand about finding inspiration everywhere. Two years ago, we took a trip along Route 66. We stayed in an odd motel because we were lost. The wallpaper in that room as ugly as it was, there was one part of it I thought would make a lovely stencil that I could manipulate around a page. I couldn’t wait till I got home to try it out. The design came out, just the way I thought.
Yesterday, I received my order. I now have my Christmas card idea. I’m using the van, and placing pictures of my kids when they were little, (they’re between 41 – 35 ). What a blast it will be. Also, my oldest daughter owns a VW Van!
Hi Betsy! This release has been so much fun!! Congratulations to the winners! You created some beautiful cards and envelope from your inspiration. ( the gold is so beautiful on rose.} Sometimes I’ll take a photo on my phone when I see a design I like. It comes in handy! I’ve been so excited to get started on my Christmas cards that I took time to get my craft room in good order. I’m getting in the holiday spirit I think. Thank you for a wonderful release and for all of the special touches & effort. You and your family are a blessing. 😊
Yes, I did find some inspiration today, thank you – right on The Greetery Blog! 🙂 Betsy, your cards are so lovely!
Sigh. So glad I bought this set – and some envelopes – and the stencils.
Just received my release day order! We’ve been without power for two full days and it was a delight to have your package in my po box! Can’t wait to dive in….spoiled food to toss first :)!
I hope everything works out ok Jan. I’ve gone through that with Hurricanes too. Best wishes.
Love these cards! But what is the Gold frame? Help me out, I’m totally lost!
Hi Kathy! The gold frame is from the With Love at Christmas set. I stamped it with Versamark and heat embossed it with gold. I hope that makes sense! 🙂
YASSS! What an honor to win such fun stickers! I loved seeing that sweet hippie van adorning my goodies this month! Betsy, you are a true talent and such a blessing to the crafty-loving world! Thank you!
Congratulations to the winners! The stickers are so cute. Yes, I’ve totally been inspired by clothing tags and other labels before. Your lotion inspired cards are beautiful!!
Gorgeous cards Betsy. Spot on for the inspiration.
Congratulations Renee and Carrie.
