Hello, friends! I’m back with more new release goodies to share from The Greetery!
GAH!!! How fun is THIS?! I don’t know about you but I totally want to shop at this Five & Dime!!!!!
Here’s what we’re working with today, in case you want to view each new product early.
- Atelier die
- Atelier embossing folder
- Window shopping die
- Atelier Signage stamp set
- Atelier Accessories die + stencil
Ok, so to start out, this is a 5×7 card. I don’t make the larger cards often, but I couldn’t bear to not utilize those darling windows at the top, for this Christmas card!
I die cut and embossed the building using the new Atelier die and Atelier embossing folder. Seriously, the details are SO GOOD!
Next, I cut out all the little inset pieces from green card stock, using the Atelier die and then stamped them with the Atelier Signage stamp set. The largest green piece was also embossed with the Atelier embossing folder.
PRO TIP: Before gluing anything to your card base, use the building front as a guide to stamp the “window” portions on the door and the transom over the door, directly on the white card base.
Ok, so we must talk about the darling awning! I used the Atelier Accessories die + stencil to cut it out and stencil on the stripes. Simply fold a little a long the score line, to have it pop out from the storefront a bit.
Then, I pulled out the older Big Beautiful Bow die to make the bow, because who doesn’t want to go to a store with a great big bow on it at Christmas?!!
PRO TIP: Die cut the bow from two different colors for more dimension. Put your darker color on the bottom, for a more realistic look, because in real life, the bottom edge would naturally be in shadow more than what’s on top. Be sure to use your finger to separate the loops a bit, to fluff it out so it’s not just flat.
I used the new Window shopping die to cut out all the little bits for in the window and found that it was easiest to adhere the wood tabletop and the ornament “string” to the back side of the storefront panel BEFORE attaching the storefront to the card base.
Also, I mean, come on! A cake plate stacked with books?!! Yes, please! I added all of the items on the table display, after the storefront was glued down, so I could get everything placed just so.
And now, for a card that’s not a Christmas card! I love that you can just use this as a note card for any occasion. It would make a great little thank you note, or even a just because card for your bestie or your sister or mom or whoever!
Ok, so you know I HAD TO DO IT, right?!! A quilt shop with a quilted awning?!!!!!!!
I die cut the awning with the Atelier Accessories die + stencil and then used the Capsule Quilt Shop Embossing Folder to emboss it.
PRO TIP: Once that was done, I just used a blending brush and ran a little red ink over the puffed up parts! Easy peasy, two-toned dimensional awning!
Then, I knew that – similar to the larger than life bow on the first card – I wanted to have some larger than life quilting notions as though they’re on the sidewalk out in front of the store! I pulled out the Notionable Die to cut out the scissors, spool and needle. I’d totally shop there! Haha!
Beyond that, I kept the other details fairly simple so you can see that you don’t have to make every Atelier card completely over-the-top with tiny details, and yet, it’s still a DARLING card!

Thanks for sharing your creativity!
Adorable shoppes! I want to go shopping there!
Dawn, these are beautiful! I am loving this entire set. I think the ability to place things in the windows for the shopping experience is my absolute favorite. It reminds me of window shopping in small towns durning Christmas. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful cards! I especially like the quilt shop and your use of the Quilt Shop products to decorate the awning…very nice touch.

Dawn, Both your cards are beautiful! I like your use of the scissors and the big bow. I never would have thought of doing that.
Oh my! This is the cutest collection. I can’t wait to get it!
Oh my goodness! The nostalgia this brings. I think of my grandmothers stories about shopping at the Woolworth 5 & Dime store. What beautiful cards Dawn. I adore the awnings! Thanks for the stroll down memory lane! 🩷
Both cars are stunning and I just love the unexpected use of the big red bow and the sewing scissors with the needle and thread! Genius!
As usual, love your colors choices and pro tips.
Love the big beautiful bow on your rooftop!!
When we travel I am always on the lookout for a 5&dime. They are becoming harder to find!! Your quilted awning really made my heart sing…although I love a sweet & coffee shop also. I have been a quilter for many years. Now in my late 70’s I am finding ways to make paper quilts and it is amazing with the new products. Your colors are so great and you really knock the details out of the park. Nicely done, TFS
Beautiful card- love that you used the huge bow !
Love your pro tips and cards, specially the quilting one!
Wonderful shops! I love the Christmas shop with ornaments in the window and the big red bow! The quilted awning on the quilt shop is extra special!
What great ideas for the cards. Thanks for sharing!
Adorable cards Dawn! I love all the colors you used in your buildings! 🥰
Lovely cards as always Dawn. I adore the quilt shop. My family quilters would love that and I love how you used the quilt folder to do the awning. Such a fun touch.
Cute cards. Using the quilt embossed piece for the awning is clever. I was hoping for a collection like this and I love it!
