Good morning and happy Friday! Exciting news…our fall collection is coming to the shop next week! Our Autumn Air collection is filled with pretty things for fall, Thanksgiving, and a little Halloween! With an emphasis on great sentiments and thankfulness, many of the new goodies will have year-round applications. We’ll be showcasing everything here on the blog next week, and the new products will be available in the shop on Thursday, August 29.
Confession time…a fall release almost didn’t happen for The Greetery this year. While I should have been knee-deep in design and prep work for our fall and holiday releases, we were surrounded by knee-deep flood waters instead. For a week or so we contemplated skipping a fall release all together as it just felt really daunting..I was way behind schedule, and my heart and mind were elsewhere. But, creating is what we do, and it was therapeutic to dig in and get back to it, and the result is what I hope is a beautiful collection of fall products. And I’m happy to report that we are also on track for having what might be one of my favorite holiday collections to date…releasing in late September or early October (many of you have asked, so there you go!) 🙂 🙂 🙂
Thank you for stopping by, and thank you for being here with us! ❤️

I’m sure the sentiments in this release will be ultra-sincere, too. Photos of the devastation were reminiscent of White Sulfur Springs, WV 2016. Big hugs to all of you!
Looking good, but then I love making fall cards.
Stunning as usual
Can’t wait to see this beautiful collection so far so good. Thanks Janet
Beautiful!!!!
The colors are gorgeous 😍
Betsy, Thank you for the update. I’m glad things are getting back together for you and your business. I was wondering how it was going. I made a contribution to one of the funds in The Greetery’s honor. Lynn
Simply beautiful
This sneak peek looks BEAUTIFUL! Thanks so much for your dedication and hard work. Prayers for strength and courage to you and the whole team!
As always, this too looks like a beautiful release. Can’t wait!
Looks beautiful! I love fall!!! Can’t wait to see the rest!
This one looks like a winner.
This looks to be lovely, as usual. That color palette is beautiful too. I totally agree how cathartic creating can be and you should be so proud and happy on how your hard work has paid off for you in your business. You have added so much to so many people in the crafting world that no other creator has. The designs of The Greetery are beyond compare. So good to hear you’re recovering from all the flooding.
Beautiful sneak peak!!
Halloween! Oh my…I can’t wait to see the collection! 🎃
So happy to hear that your creativeness helped you through a stressful time. This is truly why I create because it is so therapeutic to make beautiful cards! Thank you! Can’t wait to see it all!
So glad you made it through… and we were thinking of you all!!!! Thank you for making the world a more beautiful place!!!! Looking forward to the holiday releases!
I sure hope that your town is recovering from the horrible flooding. I am grateful for all you do, Betsy and crew! ❤️
Thank you for the update! I’m so glad you were able to get back to creating even though everything’s been chaos. I find creativity to be therapeutic. I hope it helped you also. And on a purely selfish note, SO looking forward to your upcoming releases. I pray everyone in your region finds some normality after the flooding and can enjoy a beautiful Autumn and holiday season.
Fall is my favorite season so I’m anxious to see this release. Interesting colors you used on this sneak peak.
Looks beautiful, can’t wait!
I’m so thrilled you were able to create such beauty while in the midst of chaos. I think that’s why I love Card making so much. My chaotic life is overwhelming at times. Card making brings peace to me, which is most needed. I just absolutely love the color scheme shown in the sneak today. I’m anxious for tomorrow’s!
Thanks for taking the time to remember all those who were lost so much or all of their possessions and some even their homes. Fortunately, I had moved! My old house is devastating!
Now, I’m anxious to see this new release!!
Stunning!
Sending you and your community healing wishes! This release looks beautiful already but your releases always are!
This release looks like a doozy. I love what I’ve seen so far. I don’t know how you were able to take care of business and also other’s that needed your help, but you did it. You are a strong woman.
The sneak peak is lovely!
I’m glad that you are dealing with it all. I can’t imagine.
Thank you for your kindness and hard work to get a fall release ready, in the midst of all your other pressing tasks. As always, looking forward to this beautiful fall release, and the holiday collection as well.
These teases! Always super-pretty and so tantalizing!

Gorgeous fall designs! It’s my favorite time of the year, so I know this will have lots of items that will be right up my alley! I’m glad it lifted your spirits to get back to creating, and we anxiously await this release!
Oh wow!! Is just so beautiful and it’s only a sneek peek. Waiting….
It looks lovely! So glad you were able to do it.
Looking forward to The Greetery FALL reveals.
Is that a scripture stamp? Ooh la la! Looking forward to seeing more
So excited my favorite type to stamp and create FALL
I am so excited you are able to have a Fall release. The fear of going through a flood and the cleanup afterwards is exhausting and daunting to say the least. I am happy you will be able to take joy in sharing the new release you have created.
Betsy, my heart goes out to you and everyone in your community, as recovery efforts continue. It is astonishing that you were able to prepare for a fall release, the peek of which is lovely. Looking forward to seeing all the wonderful products you design and create. All best wishes.
I want to echo Betsy’s sentiments about crafting being “therapeutic”. The hardest loss I’ve gone through was met by a VERY thoughtful crafty friend: Betsy Veldman, who sent me the most beautiful card. And crafting with her Beautiful designs really helped me.
I’m so grateful that your town is recovering and for your Fall collection. Your “ Thanks” is gorgeous, I can’t wait for the new release! Thank you Betsy, for your kindness and the hard work you put in, to make The Greetery the very best! 😊👏❤️
So grateful for you Betsy! This release looks SPECTACULAR! I “think” I see mums. :D)
Many glimpses of beutiful elements!
So very sorry to hear of your flooding problems, sweet friend! From your sneak peeks, you have come through that setback with some of the most beautiful projects I have ever seen! I am so very excited to see all the wonderful projects for the fall and also the holiday collections! Can hardly wait! Thank you for all of your hard work. Know you are in my thoughts and prayers!
Looks amazing, so beautiful as usual!
Looks gorgeous. Excited to see the new release.
I’m so glad the flood didn’t get the best of you, or stop the Fall Release. I’m SO looking forward to it all.
How absolutely lovely! The thanks sentiment may have been inspired by the turbulence around you and how thankful you were. I hope those who are struggling to recover know they are in our thoughts.
Beautiful cards…I love the Fall colors!
