Capsule Party Scene
The Capsule Party Scene dies coordinates with our Capsule series and are a fun and easy way to create layered scenes! If you loved the layered scene concept of our previously released Capsule Cameos Autumn set, you’ll love these new dies with a similar concept but with a party twist! The coordinating stencil makes it easy to add color to the banners and balloons.

Capsule Collection Celebration Borders & Star Studded Borders
We have a few more additions to our Capsule series! A set of border stamps featuring stars and confetti, done in the same manner as our previously released Capsule Borders stamp sets. We also have a new set of Capsule border dies…this one with a mix of stars and pinked-edge borders. The pinked-edge dies in this set are the same size as the scalloped dies from the Capsule Basics set, giving you a less feminine option!

For the Ages
This is one for the ages…literally! Our For the Ages product suite features fun polka-dotted, generously-sized numbers. The design can be used as a background, or can be cut apart into individual numbers using the For the Ages die. which cuts out the embossed numbers, or can act as a base for the Details die (or stencil!). Using the flame included in the coordinating die, these numbers can be turned into candles, inspired by the classic cake-topper candles we all know and love! The coordinating stencil will allow you to add color to your designs, or can be used as a stand-alone background as well.

Laid Back Basics
We’ve released a few other sets in this font (our Silly Goose Sentiments and French Kiss Sentiments), and we’ve heard you loud and clear that you love this font as much as we do! We’re excited to bring you Laid Back Basics…a sentiment set in this wonderfully casual (yet somehow still a tiny bit elegant) font that covers all of your most-created-for occasions! It’s one of those sets that might need a permanent spot on your craft desk.

Now for some projects!
This first one is one of my favorites from the release! You may remember the tunnel card I created last fall when our Capsule products were very first released, using the Capsule Cameos Autumn set. I couldn’t wait to create another one, this time for a fun birthday card using the new Capsule Party Scene dies and stencils!
The construction for this card was done exactly like the autumn version, so if you’d like to create your own, you can follow along with this video and just swap out the autumn scene for these Party Scene dies. I paired them here with the smaller scallop die that’s included in our Capsule Basics set, but you could do this same thing with the new pinked-edge die in the new Capsule Star Studded Borders die.
I added a stamped star frame to the front using the new Capsule Celebration Borders stamp set and cut it with the Capsule Fixed Borders Small die. I also added a fun number candle to the scene, which was of course created with our new For the Ages die, embossing folder, and Details die. I added a pop of red to the polka dots using the For the Ages stencil. I also used the confetti stencil from the For the Ages set to add some fun confetti details to the accordion folds. The happy birthday sentiment is from our new Laid Back Basics stamp set, cut with the matching die.
Next up is another fun card using the new Capsule Party Scene dies and stencil. This time I added our adorable Silly Goose, he’s all decked out for the party with his party hat and balloons (these are also from the Silly Goose die).
For this one, I created a small Capsule-shaped card using the smaller scalloped die from the Capsule Basics to cut the outer scallops around the Capsule Party Scene dies. I used just two of the Party Scene dies – one of the banners plus the balloon/star layer. The sentiment here is once again from the new Laid Back Basics stamp set and matching die.
Next I have a handful of projects that dig a little deeper into our For the Ages product suite!
First up is a super bright and fun 5×7 card that uses the For the Ages embossing folder and matching stencil to create a fun background. Over my background I layered a panel of red, from which I cut the largest plain oval from the Capsule Basics die as well as some corner accents using one of the dies from the Pretty Picado Blooms die that was introduced yesterday. I also added a star border, cut from gold mirror cardstock using the largest star border from the new Capsule Star Studded Borders set.
For the focal point, I used the For the Ages die, embossing folder and Details die to create those cute number candles. I again used the stencil to add more color to the polka dots, and also added the flames (there are flames in both the For the Ages die as well as the Details die). My numbers are layered over a pinked-edge capsule shape that was cut using the smallest shape from the Star Studded Borders set. I used another one of the Laid Back Basics sentiments, again cut with the matching die. I love these sentiments and they are going to get used over and over!
Next is a fun and happy birthday card that you could create for anyone under the sun! I diecut all of the For the Ages numbers using the For the Ages die, then embossed them with the matching embossing folder. I also cut a bunch of the number details using the Details die and embossed those as well so they had the fun polka dots. I just used a mix of scraps in all kinds of colors, and arranged them on an A2 card base until I was happy with the placement.
Some of them I stenciled to add color to the polka dots, but some I left plain. For some reason, this card reminds me of a vintage scrap quilt! I love the bright colors and pop of red around the border, which was done using our Frosted Frames die, which is an older die, but one I still reach for over and over for those cute scallops! The sentiment here was just done by adding the “happy birthday” banner from one of the dies included in the new Market Place Celebration Street die. I also added some little bits of confetti, which were cut using the For the Ages die.
Last, but not least, a fun and happy graduation card using the new For the Ages suite and the new Capsule Star Studded Borders.
For this Capsule-shaped card, I turned our capsule shape on its side, which I don’t know if I’ve done before, but it’s just as fun! It’s perfect for adding these fun numbers, which were diecut with the For the Ages die, embossed with the matching embossing folder, and added some interior color details using the Details die. The congrats sentiment is from the new Laid Back Basics set, and the “graduate” sentiment is from the new Capsule Celebration Borders stamp set. The light blue pinked-edge base as well as the star borders were cut with the new Star Studded Borders die.
That wraps up my projects showcasing all of the new products from our new Fête & Fiesta collection! The new collection goes up in the shop tomorrow, Thursday, May 14 at 10am EDT.

This release is going to sell out quickly. There are so many wonderful and creative new products that can be used on their own or mixed with older products so I feel like this is an investment in creativity! Loved the tip on using Press ‘N Seal to provide tackiness to embossing folders. Ready to join the rest of the hop!
Love the new Capsule Party Scene with the balloons, banners and the goose die set. Just lovely. I am going to have to make that.
Love so many things about this release. The casual font is refreshing, the star border is so versatile and the numbers are so festive! Love that all co-ordinate with past releases. Thank you for sharing your designs and making us all look like we know what we are doing.
Wow, can’t wait for tomorrow. I’m going to be sooooo poor.
Amazing release and the inspiration projects are just stunning! I really love the cute boxes. Congrats on completing 7 years and wishing you many more to come.

Broke. Penniless. Collecting cans.

I love those candle dies. Those are beyond adorable and look exactly like the candles we all got in the grocery store on our cakes as kids. This will be such a fun release to play with.
Gorgeous and well thought out products with so many inspiring projects to boot. There are so many ways I can see using these new stamps, dies, stencils and embossing folders!! Our family has some milestone celebrations coming up in the next year! My daughter’s Graduation, my two nieces big birthdays (13 & 16) a wedding, a baby on the way and a retirement! Not to mention the kids birthdays and of course our beautiful country’s 250th celebration this summer!! I could see using these products with red white and blue cardstock! This collection is going to have me covered and with a really unique and special feel with all the cut outs and embossing, it could keep me busy for months!! I love it and now I need to find a way to get it 😊🇺🇸
This set is just gorgeous! I am so excited about the capsule party scene die!!
I adore the bright vibrancy of this fun collection, it’s instant cheerfulness. With so many options to mix and match the elements, both new and with existing items in my Greetery collection, it could keep my creativity buzzing for quite some while. Think i’ll have to invent a reason for a summer party to give all those makes the showcase they will deserve.

Hello everyone! I am looking forward to the entire collection but I especially love the fiesta designs. So perfect for cards from San Diego. Happy 7th Anniversary to The Greetery and many more!
I really can’t add much to my previous comment on The Greetery’s YouTube channel. This is a one-of-a-kind creation. Betsy outdoes herself with each new release. I don’t quite know how that is possible, but Betsy is one-of-a-kind too! She gives us crafters so much bang for our buck! The endless possibilities to create with this release is a great example. Her projects barely touch the surface of what one create with these products. Thank you Betsy & Happy 7th Anniversary to you & The Greetery!
This release is beautiful. I love how the dies build on the capsule collection.
My heart is saying a big hooray! Let’s celebrate by making and sending happy cards using all these great products.
Happy Birthday Greetery!!!

previous purchases.

This release is truly amazing and I love seeing all the projects-you have outdone yourself. I really enjoy seeing the use of items from previous releases and how those can be combined with products from this release. But, I really am loving all the use of color in all the projects-what a great way to celebrate an anniversary! Congrats and many, many thanks for bringing us such great products.
