Hello and happy release day! Thank you so much for joining in the fun, we’re so glad you’re here!
We’ve been working behind the scenes for months, getting our holiday collection designed, produced, and ready to stock on our virtual shelves! Today is the big day. All of the new products we’ve been showcasing on the blog over the last few days will be available in the shop at 10am EDT.
One thing I wanted to mention before we get to our blog hop winners…I left off one new product intro! Yesterday’s blog post was revised to include it, but I thought I’d share it here on today’s post as well, just in case lots of you missed it…
Tagged Elegance Die
We’ve had a lot of requests for a matching die for the Tagged Elegance stamp set which was released back in 2022. We’re happy to oblige, and the coordinating Tagged Elegance die will be added to the shop with all of the other new goodies this morning when the new release goes live. **Note: The Tagged Elegance die will be included in the full Fireside Holiday bundle, but the coordinating stamp set will not be included, as it was a previous release that many of you probably already have in your stash!

Give & Make – Mercy Chefs
Each year when we release our holiday collection, we choose a new set in which a portion of the sales goes to charity. In the past we have typically designated the funds for packing shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child. This year, in light of the tragedy of hurricane Helene, we’ll be supporting a group called Mercy Chefs. I wasn’t familiar with this organization until their mobile kitchens pulled into our small town this summer after it was devastated by flooding. They fed our community (and the many clean-up volunteers) hot, home-cooked meals, twice a day for a week plus. They were truly a blessing to our community. Visit Mercy Chefs website to learn more about them and their mission.
Mercy Chefs is currently deploying to Newberry, FL and Asheville, NC to supply meals for these communities which have been devastated by Helene. We’d love to support Mercy Chefs’ food supply efforts by donating 15% of the sales of The Christmas Story stamp set and Christmas Story die.
And finally, if you need a little something to keep you busy until the new products go live at 10am EDT, grab a cup of something warm and peruse the Lookbooks…
Thank you so much for joining us for all the release fun this week! We will be back to sharing some projects from the team here on the blog next week!

I’m so excited to see the full release reveal. Also, thank you for your generosity and for paying it forward.
So great for supporting Mercy Chefs. Thank you. The collection is just so beautiful.
I can’t say enough about how much I appreciate your beautiful thoughtful products, the way you do business, and the way you care for others and give back! It is a pleasure to spend my crafting dollars with you all. Thank you for being the best in the business.
Thank you Betsy and the design team for a beautiful release! Living in Florida with our share of Natural Disasters and the rest of the country too, charities make all the difference, when we’re in need the most. My gratitude for those who have helped, including Mercy Chefs. Blessings for a Merry Christmas!
Thank you for your generous spirit, Betsy!❤️
Helping Mercy Chefs with our purchase of stamps & dies is so GREAT! Thank you for giving us this opportunity to help a little. God bless them all going through this tragedy!
There is so much to love in this beautiful release. I had definitely planned to order the Christmas Story products. Thrilled to see the proceeds benefitting Mercy Chefs.
Got my Christmas Story stamps and die set and the book spine dies. Can’t wait to get them. So glad to see 15percent of Christmas Story is going to charity. Blessings.
I was already excited about the Christmas Story set and here you go making it even more wonderful. I ♥ your generous heart and this is such a worthy cause. Thank you for opening my eyes to this amazing charity.
Betsy, I truly admire your dedication and generosity to important charitable causes every year!
I just heard on the news, about the Mercy Chefs organization supplying food to the victims and responders of Helene’s devastated areas. Wishing you and The Greetery family many Blessings!
Thank you for this beautiful Fireside Collection release!
Congrats to the giveaway winners! Thank you for donating part of your sales. What a thoughtful thing to do! I was going to donate to the Red Cross but I think I will donate to Mercy Chefs instead. I am sure everyone donates to the Red Cross and the smaller charity could probably use the extra cash.
I am in awe of entire collection! Even though I want everything, my budget will not allow it. But, I plan to buy a little at a time until I have everything I want and have already placed my first order! 💕
Congratulations to all the winners. Thank you for so generously helping out my state of NC. I live in the center of NC. Thankfully lots of supplies are being diverted to the area now.
Wow – Mercy Chefs! Thank you for letting us know about them and also for your generosity in donating to them!
