Yuletide Lane

December 11, 2025

Hi there! Today I joined Concord & 9th for their 2025 Favorite Things Party. We each created a project using one of our favorite products & colors from 2025. I chose Yuletide Lane and Eucalyptus for my color. As you can see I used just about every other color along with it, but that’s exactly what I love about Eucalyptus. It’s a color that is friends with all the colors.

Concord & 9th-Yuletide Lane

For my front house I used Eucalyptus and stamped the plaid pattern with Eucalyptus using the Plaid Turnabout™ Stamp. I added the “merry” banner with Poppy, Clementine, Buttercup, Avocado & Peacock.

Next was a Stardust house with stamped Stardust brick accents and a big ol’ holly & berry sprig in the center.

My last house was using Peacock with a Grapefruit and Pimento door. I added a wreath to make it festive and stamped the stripes with Peacock ink.

The Greetery-Christmas Gallerie Collection

November 20, 2025

Hi there! Today I’m joining The Greetery to help introduce the gorgeous, new Christmas Gallerie Collection.

First up is a set of cute tags using the new Little Linked Labels stamp set, embossing folder & coordinating die.
I love that you can dry emboss or heat emboss in gold, white or simply stamp with black or tone on tone ink onto solid colored cardstock for many different looks.

The Greetery-Little Linked Labels

Here is a video showing how I created these tags & labels.

Next up is the Large Linked Labels stamp set, embossing folder & die. These have the same idea as the ones above but a larger size which is perfect for labeling handmade gifts, but also packages, envelopes and more. You can also see that I added a few bows in the photo using the new Regency Bow No. 2 die set.

The Greetery-Linked Labels

This next card uses several new sets mixed with previously released. For the background I layered one of the new Capsule Filigree Borders onto one of the Capsule Basics die cuts. Behind the Capsule Filigree die cut is a green panel that was embossed using the Shortbread Shapes: Snowflakes Embossing Folder. The bloom die cut is featuring the new Bigger Holiday Botanicals: Amaryllis die set. I used the new Regency Bow No. 2 die set for the bow. For the sentiment I used the Rosemal Reflections stamp and die set.

Here is a video showing how I created these cards.

This next card mixes old and new as well. For the background I used Diamond Ribbons Die. I used the Capsule Basics Dies for the two oval panels and stamped the greenery using the new Capsule Collection Holiday Borders Stamp Set. For the bloom I used the new Bigger Holiday Botanicals: Poinsettia die set. I used the Capsule Quick Tags for the sentiment and the Hang it Up die for the matte gold hanger on top.
