International Shipping Update
For our International customers (with the exception of Canada), please visit our Shipping Policy page and take note of some changes to our international shipping policies. Due to the recent issues and delays (and also considering we’re approaching the holiday months which will further exacerbate the issue), we’ve made the difficult decision to stop using USPS for the time being. All international orders (except Canada) will ship via UPS. For our friends in the EU, also take note of the new order minimums due to the recent change in EU tax laws.
Domestic and Canadian shipping remain the same, although we should note that USPS has made some changes to First Class transit times, effective October 1. Your order may take an extra day or two to arrive, so please take that into consideration when calculating when your order will arrive.
Before I sign off on all of the events of the week, I want to share a special Give & Make announcement. Our hobby is inherently giving…we spend time creating cards and gifts that are meant to be given away. When establishing The Greetery, we wanted to incorporate giving into what we do, beyond the crafting aspect!
This is our 3rd Christmas here at The Greetery, and each year we have selected a product from our holiday release from which to donate a portion of the sales to Operation Christmas Child. Thanks to you, we have been able to grow our giving. Last year we were able to pack and fund the shipping for 60 shoeboxes, chock full of goodies!
This year, we’ve chosen both our Christmas Time in the City AND Country stamps and dies as our Operation Christmas Child sets. We want everyone, everywhere, all around the world to have Christmas, so what could be more fitting? ❤️ 10% of the sales of these sets will go towards packing and shipping shoeboxes.
The collection date for the shoeboxes is November 15-22. After this time, we will continue to donate the same 10% for the lifetime of the sets, putting it towards either shoeboxes in the coming years, or the broader Samaritan’s Purse charity, which is instrumental in providing emergency relief during hurricanes and other natural disasters (and is also the parent charity of Operation Christmas Child). I know this is a cause that is near and dear to many of your hearts as well – thank you for partnering with us on this project! ❤️
That’s a wrap! Thank you so much for joining us as we celebrate the start of my favorite crafting season! 😊 We’ll be back tomorrow…Norine has the most gorgeous TGIF project for you!

That’s awesome Betsy, I love that you donate like this to Samaritan’s Purse charity. 🙂
Love Operation Christmas Child. We did that with our church a few years back, and the kids and I loved being able to bring joy to others. Thanks for sharing and caring. Wishing you a great holiday season.
This was a stellar release. So much beautiful inspiration. Thank you.
So excited!!!!!
Thank you for the joy you’ve given me the past three days…you have been gifted with a terrific talent and we are so blessed that you are sharing it with the crafting family.
Betsy, I can’t imagine the time and creative effort it takes to bring these Beautiful & Fun releases to all of us. I just want to thank you so much because I can’t imagine this hobby without you. Also to the design team for their inspiration and those behind the scene. We also do Operation Shoebox at our church and knowing that The Greetery gives back is one more reason I love and believe in your company!
As always—a great release! I admire your talent and creativity. Thanks for sharing with all of us crafters!
Everything is so wonderful and I love sameritans purse! Such a great organization
Wow, 60 boxes!! That’s incredible! Thanks for all you do and for being YOU. What a wonderful, hope-filled, creative release! 🙂
Such a wonderful, generous idea!
Delighted that part of my order money goes to such a worthy cause! Just ordered all of these!
Paper Hugs,

Bless your sweet heart, Betsy! I hope everything sells out. . . twice!
Congrats to all the lucky winners! Wish I could have purchased this whole release, but I’m happy to get my order in and excited to receive my goodies soon. Thank you, The Greetery, for providing inspiration and getting me excited to work on holiday cards. How very sweet that you’re supporting such a great cause with your sales – kudos to you!
Yes! We head up our Operation Christmas Child in our church and nothing makes my heart song more than to see your participation! Blessings! Now I love The Greetery even more, if that’s even possible!🤣
Great release and I like your charity choice. Congrats to all the winners.
