Market Place Mini with Wanda

by Betsy November 14, 2025

written by Betsy

Hi there creative and crafty friends! It’s Wanda here today on The Greetery Blog! Happy November! How fast did this fall season go by this year? It’s going to be Christmas before we know it… And that means, time to finish all the pretty Christmas cards! I had one last idea from the Market Place Release last month, and I didn’t get it made in time for the release. I made it recently and got that fun idea out of my head and onto a card! A pretty gingerbread card!

My finished card is a white A2 card base. I layered red and kraft layers. For my color palette I used mostly kraft and white to mimic a traditional gingerbread house(s)… Little pops of red make it perfect for the holidays. My card features the brand new Market Place Mini Dies – that are back in stock!

I started by die cutting out the three houses from kraft cardstock. I die cut all the accent pieces from white cardstock to look like frosting! I next used the Holiday Festoons Dies to die cut wreaths and bows from green and red cardstock. I assembled all the pieces and then generously splattered on some white paint snow! I used vellum behind the windows for a frosty look. I did add some sparkly glitter also!

For the background layer I used white pigment ink on kraft paper and stamped the lovely Hymn Sing stamp. Love that stamp. I die cut some gold accents too…. The sentiment was gold heat embossed onto a black paper banner cut with the Rosemal Reflections die and stamped with a sentiment from the Rosemal Reflections Sentiments stamps.

I attached the houses to the card using foam squares to make it pop just a little. I added a couple of enamel hearts from my stash. It’s so yummy and Christmas-y!

That’s it for my project for today. I hope you have a wonderful and creative day. It’s my pleasure to share with you, and I look forward to sharing with you again soon. In the meantime, happy holiday crafting!

XO Wanda

Wrapped in Love with Laurie

by Betsy November 11, 2025

written by Betsy

Hello Greetery friends! It’s Laurie Willison here! I am so much in the holiday mood…yep I am one of those people who put my tree up on November 1st!! Christmas is a season and thanksgiving is a day right in the middle of that season, in my book! 🙂 So Christmas cards it is! I started today’s card by wondering my way through TheGreetery.com and looking back at older sets that I have LOVED. I found Wrapped in Love and immediately needed a quick and simple card using all the adorable details included in the set.

Using a white card base, I stamped a simple sentiment from the set. Next, I diecut elements using the Wrapped in Love die. I stamped the large roll of paper with red strips on the outside and added the white ink stamped grid on the inside. I felt like we needed some golden scissors for the occasion so I pulled out some muted gold cardstock and added those to the card front. To match, we needed a golden tape dispenser too, so I added that in some vellum for the tape die cut. I kept it simple with just a couple colors and added in the presents, the twine and then the little candies from the Mint and Berry Bits. This is definitely a card that can be easily mass produced for Christmas!

I am so glad you stopped by today and I hope you enjoyed today’s project! If you are inspired to create a clean and simple card, please tag me when you share over on Instagram! I love to see all your creations!

Rosemal Reflections Suite with Dana

by Betsy November 7, 2025

written by Betsy

Hello Friends! It’s Dana here today and I am excited to be back sharing some projects that use the Rosemal Product Suite. I just can’t seem to put these products away… I love the beautiful florals in this collection and how all of the products can be mixed and matched to give you so many possibilities!

I started my first card by using the Rosemal Reflections stamp set to stamp my floral frame. I then used the Capsule Basics die set to die cut all of my oval and scalloped frames. I love how all of these products can be layered and combined to give you so many different possibilities. Next, I used the Rosemal Reflections Details die to die cut two of the floral clusters. I attached the florals in the opening of my floral frame and then used the Rosemal Reflections Sentiments set for my sentiment.

Next, I created a companion A2 card with the Rosemal Reflections stamp set. I embossed my card panel with the Rosemal Reflections embossing folder and then added my scalloped frame and stamped images to finish my card.

Lastly, using the same products as above I created a coordinating gift tag.

Thanks for joining me today and I hope you enjoyed my projects. I hope I inspired you to create some holiday projects of your own with the Rosemal Reflections product suite. I would love for you to tag me on Instagram so I can see what you create!!

Enjoy your day,

Dana

Christmas Market Video Series Part 2 – Rosemal Reflections

by Betsy November 5, 2025

written by Betsy

Happy Wednesday! I’m back today with the next part of our Christmas Market video series. Since it’s obviously not Monday, things didn’t go as planned, lol. I got pulled into the warehouse to help get orders out, but I’m back today with a couple more videos. 🙂

Today’s videos focus on our Rosemal Reflections product suite.

First up, I have a Stamp It Out video where we’ll just stamp out the pretty border and clusters from the Rosemal Reflections set.

I also created a positioning template for you, which you can download here.

In the second video, I’ll be putting together a couple of cards using the various elements from the Rosemal Reflections suite.

Here are the two cards I’ll be showcasing…

And here is that video…

I hope you enjoy seeing these products and projects in action! 🙂

Christmas Market Video Series Part 1 – Market Place

by Betsy October 31, 2025

written by Betsy

Hello everyone! Well, it’s that time of year where the to-do list never seems to get any shorter! It’s been busy here behind the scenes shipping orders, restocking, shipping more orders (thank you!!❤️), and finalizing everything we have going on through the end of the year. Exciting!

I’m finally getting a chance to get back to my craft table and put together some how-tos for you. I’ll be sharing several videos over the next week or so using products from our Christmas Market collection. If you have specific requests, let me know and I’ll see what I can do. 🙂

Today I have a couple of videos using our adorable Market Place dies.

In this first video I’ll show you how to create a tri-fold card using the large Market Place dies. I used all three (No. 1, No. 2, & No. 3) of the large buildings here and in my video, but you could definitely use just one of the buildings and change up the colors and embellishments for a similar effect. So fun to embellish using the Market Place Holiday Festoons die and stamp set for the shop names.

Here is that video!

Laurie also made a tri-fold card using the Market Place dies – she took it one step further and also added in the smaller buildings from the Market Place Mini die. She added her buildings to a solid base, and opted not to do the window cut-outs to keep things a little simpler. I love her colorful buildings! You can read more about her card here.

My second video today shows how to create these adorable house boxes by combining the Market Place dies with our Arch Box dies. The large (No. 1, No. 2, & No. 3) buildings are designed to work perfectly with our Large Arch Box, while the Market Place Mini buildings work nicely with the Small Arch Box. I’ll show both in the video here.

Thanks so much for joining me! If all goes according to plan I’ll be back on Monday to continue our Christmas Market video series. 🙂

Thanksgiving Pumpkins with Wanda

by Betsy October 28, 2025

written by Betsy

Hi there creative and crafty friends! It’s Wanda here today on The Greetery Blog! It’s Full on FALL! This makes me so happy! October means cooler temps, pumpkin patches, falling leaves, and my wedding anniversary too. Lots of good things. It’s time to make all those pretty Fall crafts for Thanksgiving, with leaves and pumpkins and golden color palettes. That’s just what I have for you today – a Thanksgiving card idea!

My finished card is an A2 card base made from kraft cardstock. I layered a cream layer that I embossed, and then the pretty orange pumpkins. I started the card by embossing my background layer. I used the Postal Frames Die to die cut a cream panel. Then I used that amazing Autumn Herbarium Embossing Folder to emboss the panel. I used a blending brush and Antique Linen Distress ink and very lightly went over the embossed portions to make them stand out.

I die cut the Plump Pumpkin and the Honeycomb Pumpkin dies from orange cardstock and added an orange honeycomb ball. I inked the pieces using dark orange Distress Ink. I also splattered them with gold paint. I die cut the leaves from the Mighty Oak Die set and inked those too…. And added bits of glitter to look like they are glistening in the sun.

I stamped the sentiment from the Oakwood set and die cut it out with the matching die. My sentiment was stamped in dark brown ink instead of black to keep that warm tone. I placed everything onto my card using foam tape.

My finishing touches were a some golden pearls and the glitter! This card makes me feel warm and cozy! Ready for turkey!

XO Wanda

Capsule + Herbarium Thank You Card with Laurie

by Betsy October 24, 2025

written by Betsy

Hello Greetery friends! It’s Laurie Willison here! The Hint of Autumn Release last month was amazing! The Capsule stamps and dies and hot foil plates? LOVE! Betsy’s shaped card using those new goodies, were absolutely amazing! I wanted to use them too, but also had to figure out how to work with them in an A2 sized card! I decided to use the largest scalloped die and Hot Foil frame to make a mat. Cutting it down on its side, made for the perfect detail for a quick and simple A2 card.

To put the rest of the card together, I stamped a sentiment from Capsule Cameos in the same color ink as my dark teal card base. Next, I embossed, ink blended and then die cut those amazing new leaves Autumn Herbarium. I love all the different leaves and the textures you can have with the embossing plate. And of course, they are so fast to put together which makes my quick and simple heart happy! They were so easy to layer up along the border of the capsule die cut and that finished up this card!

Wild Wetlands Wedding Card with Dawn

by Betsy October 21, 2025

written by Betsy

Hello, friends! Popping in today with a project to share. We recently attended a wedding where Bart and I were given the task of creating a charcuterie grazing table for the guests to enjoy as they were arriving an hour or so ahead of the wedding. I’d seen pictures of the flower colors for the wedding since we were a part of the set up crew, and decided to make them a wedding card to coordinate with their colors. I chose a soft blue background because it complimented the flowers so well, and I love that it also reminds me of the sky, since the wedding was held outdoors. I hope the bride and groom love it!

Because we were there early in the day, it also gave me a chance to snap a picture of my card with a box of the flowers they were using on all the tables and such. Isn’t it so fun to see the inspiration along with the card it inspired? Head over to my blog if you’d like to see the card with their flowers, as well as the grazing table we put together!

PRO TIP: You can make wedding cards that match your recipients’ wedding colors, too, by taking your design and color cues from what you see on the wedding invitation when it arrives!

I have been loving the Wild Wetlands die set, and created my own floral arrangement here, rather than using the large floral die. I die cut several different floral elements from the set, and then pieced them together to create my own design. This allowed me to eliminate the cattail and instead, add in more flowers….which coordinated a bit better with their wedding flowers.

PRO TIP: This die set is one that definitely has room to add a bit of colored pencil shading on the flowers and leaves. I did a bit of that on my flowers before I put them together.

PRO TIP: This set is also one that is SO fun to use foam adhesive on! You can give your flowers even more depth and dimension, just by popping some of the layers up with foam adhesive, rather than gluing them all flat!

Note that on the full flowers, I glued the inside detail (the stamen part) flat, but used foam adhesive on the front layer. I also used foam between the two layers on the bell shaped flowers. That little detail just makes these flowers come alive even more!

I used the new Capsule Basics Embossing Folder (LOVE!) with one of the Capsule Basics dies (also love!)! So simple, but they add so much detail to a card! Those are GREAT basics to have on hand and I’m guessing I’m gonna be using them on everything for awhile!

The sentiment is from the Capsule Collection Floral Borders stamp set.

One last look, just because it’s pretty! 🙂 I can’t wait to use this die set again…..I have a few more ideas brewing in my head, so stay tuned for more!

Thanks so much for being here, friend!
