The Greetery's District Twelve25 Week 5 - Window Shopping

Nov 11 2026 | By: Lea Lawson

Share

The new Window Shopping mini release from The Greetery invites cardmakers to create charming storefront scenes full of character and creativity. The Atelier products offer beautifully detailed architectural elements that can be customized for every season, celebration, and style, making each design uniquely your own.

For these cards, I had fun exploring two different looks: a festive holiday shop dressed with seasonal greenery and gifts, and a sweet little pâtisserie featuring soft pastels, delicate details, and plenty of charm.

The new products will be available in the shop on Thursday 11/12 at 10am EST.

Featured Products:

  • Atelier embossing folder
  • Atelier die + template
  • Atelier Accessories die + stencil
  • Atelier Signage stamp set
  • Window Shopping die
  • Bow-Tique Holiday stamp & die set (already released)
  • Rolling Hills: Bella Terra Additions stamp & die set (already released)

 

Easy step-by-step instructions:

Wishing You a Sweet Christmas:

  • Cut & fold A7 white card base, then cover with ivory glitter cardstock.
  • Diecut the windows from an A7 white cardstock panel, using the layering guide.
  • Emboss the panel with the Atelier 3D embossing folder.
  • Lightly mark where the windows will be located on the backgroud, then ink blend with yellow to make the windows glow.
  • Diecut the pieces from Window Shopping, then assemble.
  • Adhere the ornaments to the embossed panel, then mount to the card front.
  • Adhere the remaining Window Shopping elements to the front.
  • Diecut the Atelier pieces & accessories.
  • Heat emboss with the Atelier Signage stamp set.
  • Assemble the sign, then mount all the pieces to the card front with foam tape.
  • Ink blend the awning, then adhere to the card front.
  • Add previously stamped elements from Bow-Tique Holiday to the front.
  • Accent with Aura AB gems to finish.

Easy step-by-step instructions:

Sweet Christmas Wishes:

  • Cut & fold A2 white card base, then cover with pink cardstock.
  • Trim white glitter cardstock slightly smaller, then adhere to the front.
  • Diecut the bottom windows from a 4" x 5.25 blue cardstock panel, using the layering guide.
  • Emboss the panel with the Atelier 3D embossing folder.
  • Mount to the card front with foam tape.
  • Diecut the pieces from Window Shopping, then assemble.
  • Adhere the Window Shopping elements to the front as shown.
  • Diecut the Atelier pieces & accessories.
  • Heat emboss the left side accent with the Atelier Signage stamp set.
  • Stamp & heat emboss the sentiments from Rolling Hills: Bella Terra Additions to the top of the sign in black, and in iridescent gold to white cardstock.
  • Diecut the embossed sentiment with two extra layers, then stack & glue.
  • Assemble the sign, then adhere the diecut sentiment to the front.
  • Ink blend the awning, then apply Stickles to the front.
  • Once dry, mount to the top of the card.
  • Accent with Aura AB gems to finish.

Gail - Both of your store window cards are just spectacular with awesome detail, creativity, and design! Your store windows remind me of the way stores used to decorate their store windows when I was growing up. The St. Loius downtown stores used to go all out in creating magical, animated window scenes, especially during the Christmas Holidays. My dad would always take us downtown to walk around and visit all of the store windows. The big department stores used to compete with each other for the most magnificent windows , and even some of the Christmas movies and Christmas songs were built around the decorated windows.
