Hi there! I’m back with more introductions to the beautiful Fête & Fiesta Collection with The Greetery.
These new products go live at 10am EDT on Thursday, May 14.
For my first card I used a combination of the Pretty Picado Die with the Capsule Star Studded Borders and the Pretty Picado Sentiments stamp set & coordinating dies for the sentiment.
I created a shaker and filled it with star confetti.
cardstock colors(from back to front): sweet pea, dragonfruit, honey drizzle, capri, bluebell
This next card uses the Capsule Star Studded Borders, Capsule Party Scene, For the Ages Embossing Folder & Dies. For the sentiment I used the Laid Back Basics Stamp & Dies.
cardstock colors(from back to front): pink lemonade, watermelon, lemon chiffon, oceanside, seaglass, honeysuckle
This next card uses the Capsule Basics, Capsule Party Scene, For the Ages Dies and Capsule Collection Celebration Borders Stamp Set.
cardstock colors(from back to front): eucalyptus, seashell, sorbet, buttercup, seaglass & nectar ink

These are GLORIOUS!! I love them. Your C9 combos are stellar. The Pretty Picado products are probably the pick of the pile. How’s that for alliteration? The Greetery and you designers are eating this release up and leaving no crumbs!

Bonnie B Dongon
May 13, 2026 at 7:14 amThe style of that last birthday card nails the vague idea I had in mind when I saw the capsule banner dies. THAT is the type of card I would want to make several of, keep on hand, and add a number to when the time came to give it. I know that card says 5, and the style works for a child, but I think the simple setup can be appreciated by kids and adults alike. All three are fun. Who doesn’t love a shaker card?
