It’s Week 3 of our District Twelve25 holiday shop hop! Each week we are visiting a different “shop”. This week’s stop is Novelties & Nativities…

There are five new products in this week’s product suite. These new products will go up in the shop tomorrow, Thursday, October 29 at 10am EDT. Let’s take a closer look at these new goodies!

Laurie Willison will once again be hosting a Craft ‘n Chat tonight on our Youtube channel beginning at 8pm EDT/ 7 pm CDT tonight. Pop in to see the products hands-on and ask any questions you might have!

Below is a look at today’s new product intros from our District Twelve25 Week 3 Shop Hop. Click on the links below each product heading for more details and information (sentiments, measurements, etc.). When this week’s new goodies are added to the shop on Thursday, they’ll be added to our HERE to see all of the new products in the shop. (**Please Note: although you can preview this week’s new products in the shop via the links below, they will not be available to add to cart or purchase until stock is added on Thursday, October 29 at 10am EDT ).

If you’d like to watch a video introduction of today’s product suite, we have a showcase video, linked below…

Capsule Nativity Scene die

Very similar in concept to the Capsule Party Scene die we released earlier this year, these layering dies create a pretty nativity scene that nestles into your Capsule dies. They cut the “negative”, so are designed to be paired with the dies and other products from our Capsule Series, particularly our Capsule Basics die, but can also be cut from just a panel of cardstock. I couldn’t wait to create a tunnel card with this set!

Laid Back Holiday stamp set & die

Earlier this year, we released our Laid Back Basics set, an everyday sentiment set done in a font we’ve been loving (and used in several different sets this year). Well, we’re happy to be brining you a holiday version, filled with classic holiday sentiments. You’ll reach for this one over and over!

Market Tote & Market Tote Mini dies

Quick and easy to assemble with just two diecuts, these fun totes can be dressed up in so many ways and filled with goodies and novelties galore. The larger size is big enough to hold a gift card, and the mini is the perfect size for small treats, chocolates, etc. Each one also includes some fun details…bows, a single teeny tag (the same size as those in our Teeny Tags die), and some optional details that can be added. A fun thing to note…the larger tote is the perfect size for stamping any of the sentiments from our Simple Sentiments sets, and the Mini is the perfect size for stamping with any of our Simple Mini Sentiments sets!

I put together a quick how-to assembly video for the Market Totes…

Today’s new products will be available individually, but they’ll also be available via an easy-shop bundle. The Novelties & Nativities bundle includes the five new products introduced above.

Time for some projects!

Like I mentioned above, I couldn’t wait to create a tunnel card with the new Capsule Nativity Scene die. As soon as I got to test drive this set, it was the very first thing on my list of makes! I pulled out my go-to woodgrain cardstock (from LCI Paper) to create something that’s a little hard to believe is actually just paper! I love how the woodgrain paper mixed with the embossed border done with the Capsule Quilt Shop embossing folder gives it an almost Scandinavian vibe.

I used the largest plain die from the Capsule Basics set to create each of the panels for my tunnel. I’ll be sharing a video tomorrow, so I won’t go into a whole lot of detail on the construction! The little pine sprigs give it just a little bit of color, and were cut using our BotaniCuts Pine Bough die. The accents on the accordion folds along the sides were stamped using our Capsule Holiday Borders stamp set. The sentiments are from the new Laid Back Holiday stamp set and matching die.

The back panel of the tunnel card is a pocket were I created a pull-out by using the smaller scalloped die from the Capsule Basics set and our Bow Bookmark die. This is the perfect place to stamp a sentiment. The sentiments I used on the pull-out are also from the new Laid Back Holiday set. The pine border was stamped with the previously released Capsule Holiday Borders set, the same set I used on the accordion folds. This project involves quite a bit of diecutting, but the end result is so fun and totally worth it in my opinion!

I created a coordinating pop-up easel card that’s also interactive, but a little simpler to put together. This time I paired the Capsule Nativity Scene dies with the smaller scalloped die from the Capsule Basics set so I could use it to create this A2 sized easel card.

I love how the first part of the sentiment (again from the new Laid Back Holiday set) is on the outside, and then when you pop up the easel, the rest of the sentiment is on the inside flap or “catch” for the easel. I again used some BotaniCuts Pine Bough sprigs to add some color and sparkle. I also tucked in a few sprigs from our Berry Bouquet Builder set. The woodgrain is of course again LCI Paper’s 111lb woodgrain cardstock (I’m addicted!). The blue is Mohawk Arctic (sponged with a little Distress Oxide Faded Jeans for some subtle shading. the back solid panel that you can see through the star cut-out is Antique Gold Stardream shimmer cardstock. The dark green is Colorplan Racing Green

Up next is a lighter, airier take on the Capsule Nativity Scene dies. This time I pulled out some parchment paper to cut those pretty nativity layers. I love how the parchment paper has a vellum-like quality that lets the layers kind of show through each other.

The paper I used specifically is Natural Pergamenata Parchment in 59lb cover weight. It comes in a heavier weight as well, but you lose a little of the translucence with the heavier, so I went with the lighter. My card base was created with Antique Gold Stardream cardstock. I used a plain Capsule Basics die (the one that’s just smaller than the smaller scallop) to cut a window from my card front. I stacked two of the Capsule Nativity Scene diecuts – the tree/foliage layer and the figure layer (cut by combining the smaller Capsule Basics scallop with each of the three nativity layers) and layered them over the window on my card front. I also cut a frame from the gold shimmer paper and the scalloped Capsule Basics die paired with the plain one that’s just smaller. For the star layer, I cut that from an A2 panel of parchment and adhered it to the inside of my card. I used the star from the Capsule Nativity set to cut a star from gold mirror cardstock and adhered it to the inside of my card, lining it up with the star cut-out in the parchment layer. The little sentiment on the front is from the Simple Holiday Mini Sentiments set. The little bows in the corners were cut from gold glitter cardstock using the little bows from last week’s Bow-tique Holiday die. The larger sentiment on the inside is from the new Laid Back Holiday set.

Up next I used just to foliage layer from the Capsule Nativity Scene to create a fun snowy scene shaker card!

I cut two of the tree/foliage layer, one from white and one from mint cardstock. I sponged some darker green inks onto the mint layer, and stacked them, offsetting just a bit so the white under layer shows. I used the smaller scallop and the next smaller plain die from the Capsule Basics set to cut three frames from white cardstock, which I stacked up to create my well for my snow and glitter. Inside my scene I strung some “lights” using one of the cute little garland dies from last year’s Market Place Holiday Festoons die. The mint card front panel was also embossed with the Capsule Quilt Shop embossing folder. I added a few fun details to the top of my scene – a Regency Bow No. 1, and some Berry Bouquet Builder sprigs. The Merry & Bright sentiment is from the new Laid Back Holiday set.

Last but not least today, I have a bunch of the new totes and mini totes! These are so fun to make just by adding some simple embellishments. They are quick and easy and can hold treats and trinkets of all kinds…for the holidays and beyond.

This one is embellished with a Berry Bouquet Builder bouquet and a Teeny Tag sentiment…

This one uses a sentiment from the Simple Holiday Sentiments set and a quilt block stamped with our Quilt Block Builder set…

And this larger one was just embellished with a simple little sprig of greenery cut with our Bigger Holiday Botanicals Wax Flower die. The mini just has a Simple Holiday Mini Sentiment, heat embossed with gold embossing powder.

That wraps up my projects for today, but the team has so much more to share with you! I hope you’ll hop along and check out all of their beautiful creations!

Hello and happy Tuesday! It’s time to kick off the fun for Week 3 of our District Twelve25 Holiday Shop Hop. Moving along, down the street and around the corner, we find a quaint little shop filled with nativities and novelties…

The intricately layered nativity scenes draw you inside for a closer look. By this point in our shop hop, our arms are getting a little full from all of our collected treasures, which means we need something to “tote” around all our treasures. We have just the thing…some fun new dies that you’ll love filling up with all sorts of little treats and novelties!

There are five new products in this week’s drop. We’ll be revealing them here on the blog tomorrow, hopping with the team, and all of the other fun things before these new products arrive in the shop on Thursday, 10/29 at 10am EDT.

It’s almost time to shop this week’s drop! In just a few hours (10am EDT), this week’s new products will hit the shop.

Before they do, we have some winners to announce from yesterday’s hop! I have put together a winners page that I’ll be updating each week with the blog hop winners. You can find that page here. If you see your comment there as one of our selected winners, please send an email to customerservice@thegreetery.com and we’ll facilitate getting your goodies on their way to you!

First up is a tutorial for creating the Brimming Baskets gift card holders…

Next, a quick little tutorial for creating some pop-up easel tags using one of the little baskets from the new Brimming Baskets set…

Thanks so much for joining us for the fun again this week as we showcased Week 2, The Evergreen Collective! Tomorrow we’ll be taking a break from the Shop Hop festivities and Laurie will be popping in on the blog to share her project of the month. She’ll be using Wildwood for a pretty flroal card – the team has been giving that set a workout, lol!

We’ll resume our Shop Hop festivities on Tuesday when we hop to the next shop, which is Novelties & Nativities! Are you excited to see what’s inside? ☺️

It’s Week 2 of our District Twelve25 holiday shop hop! In case you’re just joining us, each week, for six weeks, we are visiting a different “shop” along District Twelve25, a collection of sweet little shops filled with holiday goodies. Each week we are releasing a mini product bundle. We’ll be adding each week’s goodies to theh shop here.

This week’s stop is the neighborhood floral shop. Step inside…can you smell the fresh pine? Working as a floral designer for several years, I always loved the smell of all the fresh cut greens we got to work with during the holidays. By the end of the day our fingers were sticky from the sap, but the smell in the shop was amazing! Today’s products are inspired by all of these wonderful fresh things of the season.

Laurie Willison will be hosting a Craft ‘n Chat tonight on our Youtube channel beginning at 8pm EDT/ 7 pm CDT tonight. Pop in to see the products hands-on and ask any questions you might have!

There are seven new products in this week’s product suite. These new products will go up in the shop tomorrow, Thursday, October 22 at 10am EDT. Let’s take a closer look at these new goodies!

If you’d like to watch a video introduction of today’s product suite, we have a showcase video, linked below…

Bow-tique Holiday stamp set & die

Our Bow-tique holiday set is filled with pretty, easy to stamp greenery, decked out with bows. This set includes a pretty tree (sized to take center stage) two different sized swags, and also a pair of corner swags. The bows are stamped as a second step, and intertwine through the greenery. You can also add dimensional bows by using the coordinating die.

Brimming Baskets embossing folder & die

This die and embossing folder duo creates the most realistic baskets! We love filling them with all sorts of greenery for the holidays, but they don’t need to leave your desk when the holidays are over. Fill them with florals for year-round projects…flowers for spring, pumpkins and gourds for fall, the sky’s the limit! It’s a great basic set that you’ll reach for throughout the year.

Berry Bouquet Builder die

Done in a similar fashion to some of our other bouquet-building dies, the Berry Bouquet Builder is filled with foliage and berries for the winter season. There are tons of little sprigs and spouts that can be tucked here, there and everywhere! The various individual pieces can also be added to the base, taking the guesswork out of creating layered bouquets. The bouquet works nicely with the largest basket from the Brimming Baskets set, or the individual sprigs can be used with the smaller baskets.

I put together a video detailing the assembly of the Berry Bouquet. I’ll show you a fully assembled bouquet, plus a quick and easy “cheater” method, depending on the amount of details and layers you wish to incorporate!

Teeny Tags stamp & die

Sometimes you just need a tiny tag to tie onto a small treat or package. These Teeny Tags are sized to work well with the Brimming Baskets, but you’ll have fun tying these little cuties to just about anything. The stamp is designed so that it is all one stamp, allowing you to stamp once, then use the die to cut all those teeny sentiments into a pile of teeny tags.

Today’s new products will be available individually, but they’ll also be available via an easy-shop bundle. The Evergreen Collective bundle includes the seven new products introduced above.

Time for some projects from me, and after that you’ll find links to hop along with the team for tons more inspiration! I had so much fun creating with this week’s bundle, and I can’t wait to share everything with you!

First up are a few card that use the new Bow-tique Holiday set. That tree is a simple-to-stamp showstopper! For this first card I created a card base using the largest (non-scalloped) die from our Capsule Basics set and framed it out with a Filigree Border, cut from Stardream Antique Gold shimmer cardstock.

I stamped the tree and the bows, then diecut the individual bows using the coordinating die from dark red velvet paper (amazon link). I dotted some liquid glue to the tree image as well, and sprinkled with glitter for lots of sparkle. I stamped the star tree topper and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder. The little accents around the frame were cut and embossed using the Capsule Quilt Shop die and embossing folder from woodgrain cardstock. The sentiment is also from the Bow-tique Holiday set, cut with coordinating die.

Next up that Bow-tique holiday tree again takes center stage, this time inside a Capsule shaker card. I started with again the largest non-scalloped die from the Capsule Basics set and stamped my tree and bows. I added just a few of the individual diecut bows, cut from gold glitter cardstock. I also added some gems and glitter for some sparkle and shine.

I used my Capsule Fixed Borders Large die to cut several layers to stack up to create the “well” for my shaker. I backed it with my panel with the tree stamped onto it, and topped it off with a border cut from woodgrain cardstock and embossed with the Capsule Quilt Shop embossing folder, layered over an acetate panel cut with the Capsule Basics die. I filled my shaker with glass glitter for a vintage touch. Nested inside that pretty woodgrain frame, I also incorporated a Filigree Border cut from Antique Gold cardstock. The dark green card base was cut using the scalloped die from the Capsule Basics set and the sentiment was done with the Little Linked Labels die and embossing folder along with a sentiment from the Simple Holiday Mini Sentiments set.

Up next, a fun little interactive card again using that pretty Bow-tique Holiday tree. This time I went for a lighter, brighter look for this easel card. I pulled out my Cathedral die, an older die that I still just love using for the holidays, and used it to back my tree, which was stamped with the Bow-tique Holiday set and cut with the matching die. I cut two white Catherdal diecuts, and also one from acetate using only the outer die. I layered them all to create a realistic window panel. I used the Bow-tique Holiday die to cut some of the individual bows to layer over the top of my tree. Behind the tree is a panel that was cut from Powder Green Colorplan cardstock (the preeeeetiest pale green cardstock out there in my opinion!) and embossed with our Shortbread Shapes Snowflake embossing folder. I thought it resembled a pretty paneled wall! I topped it off with a swag, stamped and cut with the new Bow-tique Holiday set.

Below the “fold” of the easel, I put a strip of woodgrain cardstock for the “floor” and stacked up some presents, which were cut using an older die called Wrapped in Love. I still love that die too! So many oldies but goodies. 😉 When you open up the card and pop up the easel, there is a sentiment along the bottom, which was also done with the Bow-tique Holiday set.

Next, let’s take a look at some projects using the new Brimming Baskets and Berry Bouquet Builder!

I am apparently having a love affair with easel cards (someone stop me?) and I turned again to that fun technique for this next card. I used the largest basket from the Brimming Baskets set, embossed it with the coordinating embossing folder, and filled it up with the new Berry Bouquet Builder. I also tucked in a poinsettia, which was cut using a die from last holiday – Bigger Holiday Botanicals Poinsettia. I added some flocking and glitter to my bouquet to make it nice and festive! I finished off my basket bouquet with a smaller bow from the Regency Bow No. 1 set, and also a tag using the new Teeny Tags stamp and die.

The background behind the basket was embossed with the Capsule Quilt Shop embossing folder. The corner accents were also done with that embossing folder and the matching die. Again when the easel is popped up there’s a sentiment inside, this one stamped with the Simple Holiday Sentiments set.

Continuing with my easel theme (see, I told you, I need an intervention), I have some easel tags. These tags use the smaller version of the basket I used on the last card. This tiny one is perfect for tags!

The baskets were of course cut with the new Brimming Baskets die and embossed with the Brimming Baskets embossing folder. The tag bases were cut with our Speed Tagging die. I cut some smaller pieces of cardstock so that I could cut just the one tag I wanted to use from that set. I cut two tags for each, scoring the front tag near the top and again about an inch from the bottom edge to create the easel. I attached my little baskets and added some of the individual little sprigs from the Berry Bouquet Builder set. I also added some Teeny Tags and used the tiny bows from the new Bow-tique Holiday die to top them off. The “gift for you” and “to/from” are from the Simple Holiday Mini set.

Up next I created some gift card holders using the largest of the Brimming Baskets. I of course used the Brimming Baskets die and embossing folder to create these. I have a video I’ll be sharing soon! I cut the largest basket from a folded piece of cardstock so that the bottom of the basket was on the fold.

I

Next, a couple of tags using the larger round basket from the Brimming Baskets set. I just adore how these turned out! I cut a base for the tag by cutting a folded piece of cardstock, positioning the fold by the handle so that the fold stayed connected at the points where the handle meets the basket. I “filled” each basket with sprigs from the Berry Bouquet Builder die, and in one of them I also tucked a little quilt block, done with the Quilt Block Builder set that was part of last week’s drop.

I finished them off with some little bows and accent tags. The red bow is from the Berry Bouquet Builder set, and the tiny gold bow was cut with the Bow-tique Holiday die. The little tags are of course done with the new Teeny Tags Holiday stamp set and Teeny Tags die.

Next up, a couple of fun A2 cards that use the new Brimming Baskets die and embossing folder. They are just so realistic and fun!! This first one uses the larger rounded basket from the set and incorporates an older die called Sent with Love. I had so much fun filling this basket with all of the colorful envelopes and fun goodies from that set! I also tucked in little sprigs from the Berry Bouquet Builder set. The sentiments are a mix from a few different older sets – Flourished Phrases Merry (“a note to say”) and Simple Holiday Sentiments (“merry christmas”). The background panel was cut using our Postal Frames die.

For this next one, I took a bunch of the smaller baskets from the set and stacked them all up! So fun and easy. I tucked a few little sprigs from the Berry Bouquet Builder set here and there. Can you imagine creating these for just about any season? Tuck some little flowers instead for spring (our Winter Medley die would be great for some tiny flowers), or autumn leaves for fall? Our Bitty Botanicals sets would work really well for this too!

I added a Teeny Tag diecut and a tiny Bow-tique Holiday bow to one of the baskets. The sentiment along the bottom was done with the Simple Holiday Sentiments set and the background panel was cut with the Nordic Frames die (that’s one from our very first holiday season and I still love it!).

And last but not least, an oh-so-pretty pair of cards that use the Berry Bouquet Builder die. Those bouquet definitely don’t need to always be tucked away into baskets, they make pretty focal points all on their own. Here I pulled out our Nordic Birds die and nestled them in the berry branches. I’m a little bit hooked on using our Capsule Fixed Borders small die paired with our Capsule Basics embossing folder and woodgrain cardstock for creating these beveled frames…and also the little accents done with the Capsule Quilt Shop embossing folder and die!

We should also probably talk about those pretty backgrounds, too. I used my Rosemal Reflections embossing folder to create those on both the A2 and 5×7 versions. Here is the A2 version…

The 5×7 version takes it one step further and uses that pretty outer frame from the Capsule Quilt Shop embossing folder and die. That soft green cardstock is one I mentioned earlier in my post as well – Colorplan Powder Green. It is one of my favorites…so light and airy! The sentiment used on both cards is from the new Bow-tique Holiday set, cut with the matching die.

That wraps up my projects for today, but the team has so much more to share with you! I hope you’ll hop along and check out all of their beautiful creations!

Capsule Quilt Shop suite

We have a new suite of products designed to coordinate with our Capsule series! This time with a warm and cozy quilt theme. The “star” of the show is a quilted star, surrounded by pretty details. Like our other suites that coordinate with our Capsule series, there are tons of mix and match options between the various elements in the suite. The stencil set makes it easy to stencil that pretty quilt-pattern panel, the embossing folder adds gorgeous texture, the red rubber is great for quick one-impression designs, and the die opens up lots of layering options! Endless mix and match options when also combining this new set with previously released items like our Capsule Basics die, Fixed Borders Large die, Basics embossing folder, etc!

Quilt Block Builder Stamp Set & Shortbread Shapes: Rectangle Quilt Blocks Embossing Folder

We also have a new addition to our Rectangle Shortbread Shapes series! This one once again coordinates with our Shortbread Shapes Rectangle die, and features the sweetest little quilt blocks. Use them as a full panel for backgrounds, or snip them apart to use as individual elements. We also took these cute quilt blocks and created them in stamp form in our new Quilt Block Builder clear stamp set. The larger blocks from the set are the same size as those found in the Shortbread Quilt Blocks embossing folder, so they work nicely with the Shortbread Shapes Rectangle die or Rectangle Labels die. The tiny quilt blocks from the set coordinate with our previously released Checks Out stencil and/or die (both the A2 and 5×7 versions).

Time for some projects!

First up, a tag and card suite using alllll the Capsule Quilt Shop goodies! I put together a video where I show the process for putting together all four of these projects. It’s so fun to stamp, stencil, diecut, emboss, and then mix and match all of the pieces to create lots of different looks.

Here is that video for you!…

This duo of 5×7 cards uses the Capsule Quilt Shop stencil, die, embossing folder, background stamp, and Elements stamp set. The only additional items use are the Capsule Fixed Borders Large die, and topped off with a Regency Bow No 1 die with a few little leaves and berries cut with the Bigger Holiday Botanicals Holly 1 die.

This A2 card and tag are also shown in the video. The card is a simple cute and cozy shaker card. These use the Capsule Quilt Shop Background stamp, die, embossing folder, and Elements stamp set. Both also again use the Regency Bow No. 1 die.

For this next duo, again I used all of the elements from the Capsule Quilt Shop suite. For that cute little house focal point I used the Quilt Block Builder stamp set and embossed it with the new Shortbread Shapes: Rectangle Quilt Blocks embossing folder.

This one uses the label from the Capsule Quilt Shop die, stamped with a sentiment from the Elements stamp set. I also tucked in a few greenery sprigs in each, which were cut with the previously released BotaniCuts Juniper die. The shaped base was cut using the Capsule Basics die and embossed with the Capsule Basics embossing folder for that pretty detail around the outer edges.

This next one again uses the Capsule Quilt Shop stencil, embossing folder and die. I also pulled out an older die, Hoopla Oval, to create the fun embroidery hoop. The quilt star fits just perfectly inside! The sentiment here is also an older set called Christmas Sampler Sentiments, cut with the matching die. I also again tucked in a few BotaniCuts Juniper sprigs. That pretty outer border was done by diecutting some woodgrain cardstock (from LCI Paper) with the Quilt Shop die and embossing it with the Quilt Shop embossing folder.

I loved how the Hoopla Oval die worked so well with the quilt star that I made a whole bunch of tags using just the star from the Quilt Shop set. I used the stencils to stencil just the star portion of the design, not bothering to stencil everything else since I was just going to diecut the stars using the Quilt Shop die. I had fun playing with lots of different color combos! I filled each Hoopla Oval frame with a Hoopla Oval Insert and one of my quilt stars. The sentiments were stamped with the Quilt Shop Elements stamp set. I also used the Elements set to stamp the little accent pieces used to embellish them. I added a few Juniper sprigs and one is topped off with a Regency Bow No. 2. The little hanger from the Hoopla set is the perfect way to tie these to packages!

Up next I went a little more glam! I had a panel of that pretty Wafer Mohawk cardstock in my scrap bin that had been stamped with the Sweetest Frames Capsule set with the center cut out and it looked so pretty layered over a Quilt Shop embossed panel of the same color. I added a star that was diecut, stenciled, and embossed with the Quilt Shop items. I popped it up with some foam tape and also added an additional label, diecut with the Quilt Shop die.

The sentiment is from a set we released last year that I’m still using the pants off of – Simple Holiday Mini Sentiments. They all fit nicely on that little banner in the Quilt Shop set! I can’t forget to talk about that pretty frame around the outer edge – I used the Quilt Shop dies to cut it from Antique Gold Stardream shimmer cardstock and embossed it with the Quilt Shop embossing folder.

Up next, a trio of A2-sized cards that use elements from the Quilt Shop suite and also some cute stamped quilt blocks done with the new Quilt Block Builder stamp set. The frames on each of these were done by cutting some woodgrain cardstock (again from LCI Paper) using the Capsule Fixed Borders Small die, then adding that embossed beveled edge to each using the Capsule Basics embossing folder. I love how the little elements from the Quilt Shop suite look when they are cut from the woodgrain paper and embossed with the embossing folder…they look just like little decorative wood carvings! I added some to each of the Capsule frames, on the red one I added the corners.

Inside each frame is an embossed Quilt Shop panel, cut with the Capsule Basics die. I also embossed some A2-sized panels to use for the backgrounds. Trimming these down to A2 leaves just enough of that pretty embossed design showing around the edges. Inside each is a stamped quilt block done with the Quilt Block Builder stamp set. The quilt blocks are framed out by using a combination of dies – the outer square is from the Shortbread Shapes Rectangle Labels die and the inner scallop is from the Shortbread Shapes: Rectangle die. The little hanger was cut with our Hang it Up die, topped with a tiny bow from the Market Place Holiday Festoons set. The sentiments were stamped with the Simple Holiday Mini Sentiments set.

Next up, a few fun projects using the new Shortbread Shapes: Rectangle Quilt Blocks embossing folder and the new Quilt Block Builder stamp set.

This first little duo uses the Shortbread Shapes Rectangle die to create the shaped card base and the grid for my “quilt”. I used a combination of embossed and stamped squares. So fun to play with lots of fun colors for these! Stay tuned tomorrow…I’ll be sharing a video how-to for these. I added a cute bow to the top of each, which was cut using our Bow Bookmark die. The little holly accents are from one of last holiday’s dies – the Bigger Botanicals Holly 1 die.

This next one again uses the Shortbread Shapes Rectangle die to create the shaped base and the new Shortbread Shapes: Rectangle Quilt Blocks embossing folder. I stamped three little quilt blocks using the Quilt Block Builder stamp set and again framed them out with the Shortbread Shapes: Rectangle die. The scissors was cut using an older die called Notionable. That little scissors has always been a favorite! The “sew” portion of the sentiment was cut with our Stitched Sentiments die, another older set. The “merry” portion of the sentiment was stamped with the Capsule Quilt Shop Elements set and cut with the label die from that set. That Bigger Holiday Botanicals Holly 1 die is also really getting a workout, lol.

Next up, I couldn’t wait to pair those tiny quilt block images from the new Quilt Block Builder stamp set with our Checks Out A2 and 5×7 Border dies. I cut them from kraft cardstock and layered them over cream card bases, then filled in all of those blanks with the those tiny quilt block images. In the center of each I put some embossed panels, done with the new Shortbread Shapes: Rectangle Quilt Blocks embossing folder. The labels were cut and stamped with the Quilt Shop Elements stamp set and die. The greenery and berries were done with an older die called Rosemary & Berry. If you love to just sit and stamp, these are such fun ones for that!

And last but no least, I had to step out of the holiday zone for a bit and use the Capsule Quilt Shop elements to create a sweet baby card. I stenciled everything in soft shades of pink, green, and yellow. The sentiment is from the Capsule Quilt Shop Elements set, stamped onto a diecut label from the set. I tucked a few sprigs of baby’s breath behind the sentiment, which were cut using the Big Branches Baby’s Breath die. We have lots of little bows in various sets which could be used as an accent, this one in particular is from the Diamond Ribbons die.

That wraps up my projects for today, but the team has so much more to share with you! I hope you’ll hop along and check out all of their beautiful creations!

Hello and welcome! Today we are kicking off six weeks worth of holiday fun here at the Greetery! Each week we’ll be visiting one “shop” along District Twelve25…a collection of cozy “shops” filled with holiday goodies.

Our first stop along the way is a little shop called Noel Needleworks. This “shop” is filled with quilt-inspired goodies.

Welcome! Step inside and take a peek…

This week’s product suite includes seven new products…stamps, stencils, embossing folders and more, many of which coordinate with and build on previously released items. I think you are going to love these new additions! They are wonderful for holiday cards, but aren’t necessarily holiday specific, so I think you’ll find yourself reaching for them throughout the year.

Thank you so much for stopping in for our first sneak peek! Tomorrow we’ll be revealing these new products in full here on the blog. There will be lots of projects, a hop with the team, videos, and of course prizes. This new suite of products will be available in the shop on Thursday, Oct 15 at 10am EDT.

As a reminder (or in case you missed it) here is our schedule of events for the next six weeks as we hop through the various shops in District Twelve25, each shop name giving you just a little peek into what you might find inside.
