TGIF – Nouveau Notes Release Day + Market Basket Tags with Keeway

by Betsy August 13, 2021

written by Betsy

It’s another TGIF full of happenings here at The Greetery! Keeway is here sharing a cute project (more on that in a bit), plus it’s release day for our new Nouveau Notes collection!

Blog Hop Winners

First things first, we have a couple of blog hop winners to announce! Ladies, send an email to us at customerservice@thegreetery.com and we’ll get your gift cards out to you ASAP. (Prizes must be claimed within seven days.)

Our first winner is My Kraft Kloset Kim Klinkovsky from here on The Greetery blog…

Our second winner is Pauline from Laurie’s blog…

Congrats, ladies!

August Lookbooks

Secondly, our August Lookbooks are up! All of the amazing projects from the team can be found by visiting our Lookbook HERE. Enjoy!

Nouveau Notes Collection Bundle

One other bit of housekeeping before we get to Keeway’s adorable TGIF project. We will once again be offering a full collection bundle for our Nouveau Notes collection. It will be available HERE and accessible from the home page when the release goes live (right now you can view it but won’t be able to add it to your cart until after 10am EDT).

PLEASE NOTE: The full Nouveau Notes collection bundle does NOT contain any of the consumable items we’re adding to the shop, it’s just the stamps, dies, hot foil, and stencils. That means if you want to pick up any of the magnets, envelopes, or pens, you’ll need to add those to your cart separately.

Now let’s hear it from Keeway and the sweet project she has for us today!

Happy Friday! The Floral Delicacy stamp set released today is my absolute favorite and as soon as I saw these little floral stems, I wanted to use them to create some tags with the Market Baskets Die.

[imagelinks id=”325″]

I stamped and die cut the three little floral stem images from the Floral Delicacy stamp set to create mini bouquets to add to a basket. In my usual fashion, I like to add just a tiny bit of splatter on these solid images for some interest and set them aside to dry.

Next, I used the Market Baskets Die to build the remainder of the tag. I die cut the wire frame out of mirror gold card stock and the basket lining out of a light blue card stock. To add some shading to the basket lining, I did some ink blended with a darker but similar shade ink. I assembled all the pieces together.

I folded a piece of white card stock in half and used the basket lining die such that the top edge was just above the paper. This allowed me to die cut a mini shaped card. This was adhered to the back of the tag I put together so that I had a flap to write inside the tag.

As a last touch, I added a few gems and some string to finish it up. Hope you enjoy today’s inspiration!

TGIF – Sending a Squeeze with Wanda + Giveaway Winner + Die Update

by Betsy April 17, 2020

written by Betsy

Wanda is here with today’s TGIF…she’s sending you a bright and cheery squeeze! Read on to learn more about the super sweet project she created using our Lemon Blossom set!

Hello and Welcome to TGIF here at The Greetery! Wanda here, sharing a bright and cheerful card for you this Spring Friday! As the season changes to Spring I am always inspired to use vivid and happy colors in my crafting. Right now I am making everything with yellow! I guess we can all use a little sunshine, right? And I know I could use a squeeze! (I’m definitely a hugger) I’m featuring one of my very favorite The Greetery stamp sets – Lemon Blossom. So fresh and pretty, and so many different ways to use this stamp set.

[imagelinks id=”90″]

I combined it with the beautiful Windowpane Background Stamp. Reminds me of a pretty tablecloth with a big bowl of lemons. My finished card is an A2 sized kraft card base. I used a MISTI to stamp and heat emboss the background in white embossing powder onto a sheet of teal cardstock. Then I die cut that layer out with the awesome Crimped Frame die. Then I added a layer of vellum, die cut from the smallest size of the Crimped Dies.

I wanted to try something a bit different with the lemons, leaves and flowers stamps. So I stamped the images onto colored cardstock instead of white! I used a slightly darker shade of the same color to stamp onto the paper. I used the matching dies to cut out everything.

The Lemon Blossom stamp set has the word “squeeze” in it! I paired that word with the “sending a” word die from the Sentiment Starters die set. At this time, I know I miss squeezing my friends…so this is the perfect card to send. I finished off the card with a few clear gems in the flower centers. I also used white paint to splatter white ink onto the die cut pieces and the background. That is one of my favorite techniques!

Wishing you a beautiful weekend full of happiness and creativity! Take care friends.

Wanda’s bright and cheery project definitely brightened up my day! It’s also making me crave a cold glass of lemonade and the warm summer sun. We’ll get there…yes we will. And it will feel amazing. 🙂

Now for a winner for the Mason Jar palette giveaway from earlier this week. The random number generator chose comment #8, which was Jan Elmore! Jan – I’ll get your palette in the mail to you very soon! I hope you enjoy it!

Update on the delayed dies from the Fresh Air collection

We’re very excited that these dies are finally on their way! We’ve received part of our order, which we’re working on getting ready to put in the shop. We’re expecting the remainder of our order to arrive over the weekend. Our intention, if all goes as planned, is to put them up in the shop on Monday. I say “if all goes as planned” because you know the world we’re currently living in…even things like the mail are a bit more unpredictable than usual. So, we’re planning on Monday – if something changes and we end up needing to delay, I will post here on the blog on Monday and let you all know. Thanks so much for your patience with the delay of these! I know it’s hard to wait. 🙂

We also have a few other items that will be restocked along with the dies – some stencils and red rubber stamps have arrived, and will be added to the shop along with the dies – again, hopefully Monday!

All Giveaway Winners Release Day

Fresh Air Release Day!

by Betsy March 27, 2020

written by Betsy

Release day is here for our latest collection – Fresh Air!

The new products we’ve been sneak peeking and showcasing this week will go up in the shop this morning at 10am EDT.

Before I get to some other updates, we have winners for the three $50 gift certificates to announce! Ladies, if you could email customerservice@thegreetery.com, we will get your codes to you ASAP so you can shop the new goodies.

Winner #1 is Sue D Heather’s blog!

Winner #2 is Jan Elmore from Keeway’s blog!

Winner #3 is Mutzy Mia from Norine’s blog!

Now for a few housekeeping details!

Delayed Dies

I probably sound like a broken record by now, 🙂 but as I’ve been saying all week, there are some dies from this new collection that did not arrive in time due to issues with our manufacturer moving to a new facility complicated by the COVID-19 situation. We hope to have these dies in stock sometime in early April if all goes as expected. These dies will be in the shop this morning, but will show as Out of Stock/Coming Soon. We went ahead and loaded them into the shop so that you could sign up for the email notifications when they come in. The following dies fall in the DELAYED bunch:

Silver Lining
Print Shop: Fresh Floral
Sentiment Starters
Fresh Air
Fresh Air Window Frame

Buy It All Button: We will NOT be having a buy it all button for this collection. With the missing dies, I’m afraid it would just cause confusion as to whether or not those dies are included, etc. So for this release, we’re going to forego the buy-it-all. We’ll bring that feature back next time when hopefully things are back to normal!

Lookbooks are live!

This month’s lookbooks are live HERE so you can view all of the beautiful Inspiration Team projects in one place.

Thanks so much for joining us in the fun this week! I hope it brought a little sunshine to your days!

All Giveaway Winners November 2019 Release Day

Winter’s Song Release Day!

by Betsy November 22, 2019

written by Betsy

Today all of the products we’ve been showing throughout the week will go up in the shop! The new products will go live at 10am EST today.

Thank you so much for a fun week of sneak peeks and product reveals! I can’t say enough how thankful I am for all of you! We are constantly overwhelmed by your encouragement and support. I say this every release, but I think The Greetery has the best customers ever. We are truly grateful for you!

Stock Update

We restocked out of stock dies early this morning, as well as stencils. I’m afraid any stamp sets that are out will not be restocked today. They didn’t quite make it here in time. They are scheduled to arrive next week, so if there’s a set you’ve had your eye on that’s been out of stock, it should be back late next week.

Giveaway Winners

Before I get into a re-cap of everything we’ve introduced this week, we have some winners to announce! Ladies, send an email to customerservice@thegreetery.com and we’ll get your codes emailed to you ASAP so you can shop the new products.

We have a few additional surprises that will also go up in the shop this morning! First off, we hear over and over that you love the stickers that your orders are wrapped in. Well, now you can purchase some of our most popular stamp images in sticker form! Use them to embellish envelopes, wraps, or use them on tags and cards. These stickers are just like the ones you receive with your orders. They are vinyl with a laminate coating, so they are nice and durable and vibrant.

You may have also noticed the cute pens I snuck in my photos all week long. We took some of the pretty patterns and designs from the Winter’s Song collection and turned them into pens. This set of three pens is great for gift-giving, stocking-stuffing, or for pairing with the matching stamp sets to create lovely coordinated stationery sets.

Store the QR codes right along with your stamps so that you have inspiration at your fingertips.

We did this last month, and I thought it was fun, so we’re going to do it again! Let’s have another little guessing game. For those of you who have ordered from us in the past, you know that your order comes embellished with a cute sticker (like those shown above)…always something that’s been featured in the release. Can you guess what this month’s sticker is? I’ll choose two random winners from the correct guesses and send them each 10 of this month’s sticker. Sound fun? Leave your guess in the comments! Contest closes Sunday night at midnight, but I’m going to wait until Friday to announce the winners. I don’t want to give it away before your packages arrive! 🙂

ETA Sticker Giveaway WINNERS: The randomly selected commenters with the correct answer of Pine Blossom flowers were Tracy S. and Lori B. They’ve already been notified via email and their stickers are on the way!

Thanks for an amazing week, everyone! It’s been so much fun sharing all of these new products with you and I can’t wait to start seeing your creations popping up! Have fun shopping, and don’t hesitate to drop and email with any questions or issues.

All Giveaway Winners October 2019 Project Ideas

Sticker Giveaway Winner + With Love at Christmas Inspiration

by Betsy October 11, 2019

written by Betsy

It’s time to announce the two winners of the sticker giveaway! Each release brings some fun new packaging to The Greetery, including a cute sticker that wraps up your goodies. I offered to give away 10 stickers to two random comments that guessed this month’s sticker. Those of you that have gotten your orders probably already know that it’s the adorable bus from Christmas Care-A-Van!

Our two winners are Renee and Carrie K! If you could send an email with your address info to customerservice@thegreetery.com we’ll get your stickers out to you!

Just a quick update on shipping and out of stock items before I share a project with you. All release orders have shipped and as of yesterday (Thursday) we are back to our usual same day/next day after 2:00pm EDT shipping schedule. woohoo!

As for out of stock items, no worries, everything will be restocked. Dies will be back in a couple of weeks, and any out of stock stamps will be back in about 4 weeks. Many have asked about the clear bubbles. We actually have a bit of stock left, we just need to get a chance to get them packaged up and then we’ll add them to the shop. Hopefully by early next week. This will not be a huge stock of them, but we have more coming.

Now for a quick project. After the busyness of the last few months I got to enjoy an annual day out with some friends yesterday! One of our stops was Bath & Body Works to pick up a few fall scents and check out what’s new for the holidays. I always find their packaging inspiring! Do you ever find yourself out and about and see something that makes you want to go stamp a card? 🙂 I love the new labels on these soaps…

I thought I could totally make a card like that! I pulled out my With Love at Christmas set and started by heat embossing the frame from the set in the center of a panel of cardstock. I then masked it off and stamped some of the individual flowers and greenery sprigs from the set around the frame. I also heat embossed a few of them with gold powder. I finished by stamping a sentiment from the Sentiment Suite: Thank You set inside the frame. I created some matching envelopes using the Flappable stencil set, and this time I sponged the striped stencil with Versamark and heat embossed it with gold powder. That turned out really fun!

Inspiration is every where, I hope you find some today that gets your creative juices flowing! Thanks for stopping by today!

Shipping

Understandably, we’ve had quite a few questions about shipping. You can view our shipping policies and rates on our FAQ page. We are starting here, and may tweak things after we get a good feel for things down the road.

Bundles

We’ve had lots of requests for product bundles. It is something we are working on and will be implementing in the future. Due to how the system works and inventory is updated, we were not comfortable having it in place for our initial release. Once we have a better feel for supply vs demand, we will definitely be incorporating some one-click bundles.

Next I wanted to share some fun things about our site that we’ve put into place to make it easy for you to find what you’re looking for – in both product and inspiration!

Homepage

The homepage of our site will be filled with the latest release products. You will find a section for each product category – stamps, dies, and stencils. You can add to your cart using the small shopping bag icon that appears in the lower right corner when hovering over a product.

There’s also a “Shop the Look” section on the Homepage. Here I’ll be sharing a few of my favorite projects from the release, and they’ll be linked with their products – just click on the small circles to see the products used in the project. You can click to view more details, or add them to your cart right from the pop-up window!

We’ll be linking the latest blog posts on the store homepage too, so you can always see what’s new on the blog!

Lookbooks

You may have noticed the “Lookbook” tab that’s located at the top of the blog. It wasn’t active before today, as it links to our store. It is now live and ready for you to check it out! Each stamp set or stand-alone die set that we’re releasing has a Lookbook page. You can visit the main page for the month, where you will see all of the sets linked, or each set can be found in the drop-down menu at the top of the store for easy access.

Lookbook Product Pins

Looking through the Lookbooks, you’ll probably notice some small blinking circles on the images, like this:

Just like the “Shop the Look” section of the homepage, these are product pins! Click on them and the product used in that project will open up in a pop-up window. You can add products directly to your cart from this window. Note: you may need to refresh the page for it to show up in your cart. You can also click to view the details for that product and it will take you to the product page.

Please note that when a project uses a stamp set and matching die, most often only the stamp set will be linked. If there are too many pins on an image it gets difficult to navigate, especially when viewing on a mobile device. So in an effort to keep things looking neat and working well, most times only the stamp sets will be linked, unless it’s a project that uses minimal supplies. You can easily find the matching dies for a stamp set by clicking on “details” on the pop-up box – the coordinating dies for each stamp set will be linked towards the bottom of each page.

If there is a video tutorial for a particular project, that will be linked via a video camera icon, like shown here on the Terrarium Treats. Click on that icon to go directly to the Youtube video for that project.

At the top of each Lookbook page is a banner that you can click to see the introductory blog post for that set. If the project is from one of our guests, you can visit their blog and read more about their project by clicking the book icon, as shown here in Wanda’s amazing Hand in Hand project!

QR Codes

For easy access to our Lookbooks, the majority of our product will come packaged with a QR code on the back of the packaging insert. These small labels are removable so that you can peel them off and store them with your stamps and dies! To read the QR code, you will need a QR reader on your phone or tablet. There are many free QR reader apps available. Simply scan the QR code to take you directly to the Lookbook for that product for instant inspiration!

Wishlist

You will also notice that we have a wishlist enabled in our store. This is located by clicking on the heart in the upper right corner of the site. This feature works best if you connect your list to an email address. Please note that if you purchase an item from your wishlist, it is not automatically removed from your wishlist. You will need to go ahead and remove any items you’ve purchased and no longer need on your wishlist.

I think that’s all for now! If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment here, or drop us an email. I hope you enjoy checking out our store! Happy shopping — and more importantly, happy CREATING! Thank you SO MUCH for making this week so amazing!
