The Greetery's District Twelve25 Week 5 - Window Shopping

Nov 11 2026 | By: Lea Lawson

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.
