Anyone else around here excited for Betsy's new release at her new company, The Greetery?!  Or am I the only one? I have been counting down the days... and I think I have finally made up my mind on which stamps and dies I'm going to buy. I hope it's not all sold out within a few hours. So far, I have the following on my list for tomorrow's purchase: Fir & Foliage #1 stamps, dies and stencils Fleur Impressions stamps and dies Comforting Commands stamps and dies Hand in Hand Stamps and dies I'm undecided about the pathway stencil... Yes, they are in order of priority (My Priority).  |

Yes definitely - I've always been a fan of Betsy's products. What's on my wishlist for now are the succulent and terrarium dies, the panda stamp and the sentiment suite thinking of you stamps. Very excited to see where Betsy takes her new company.

Very excited to see where Betsy takes her new company. I also love the succulents and the terrarium dies and adding them to my wishlist for another day.  |

Just a pity about my limited budget. Otherwise I'd be stocking up on a few more things  |

I'm interested in the Fir and Foliage suite of products and the succulent and terrarium dies. However, I think I'm going to hold off hitting the buy button today as I'm heading to a stamping show tomorrow and again in 2 weeks. And I have a list of things to buy at those shows.
Do you think Betsy will release a Christmas kit? I have to admit when I heard she was leaving PTI that was the thing I was most sad about - no Christmas kit. Maybe that's too ambitious for a start up business in its first year but I sure hope she considers it as she grows.

I know I’ll buy from Betsy in the future. I’m not wow’d by this release but I have no doubt I’ll be spending lots of money at The Greetery. I typically don’t purchase unless I get free shipping so I need a few more releases so I can stock up to get to $75.

I read that somewhere... maybe on her blog or IG (?) one day when she was asking about how big or small we liked kits and what kinds of things we wanted the kits to include. Hopefully that means she will continue that for us! |

I typically don’t purchase unless I get free shipping so I need a few more releases so I can stock up to get to $75. I'm the same way with the free shipping!  I was happy to see very reasonable shipping costs (at least for US) if you purchase less than $75. I would definitely order if I only had an order of less than $35 and would pay just $3.50 for shipping. So much better than what I'm used to...  |

Well I placed my first order from the Greetery. Nothing I wanted was sold out which was good - I wasn't going to get up at 2am when the store first opened! I thought international shipping costs were ok - similar to Ellen Hutson LLC and SSS they must have a pretty large volume.

Oh wow, I'm so excited about this new company! I have always wanted to buy Betsy's Christmas kits but have either not been able to afford it at the time or they've been sold out. I really hope she has one this year. I'm excited to see the samples everyone comes up with for all of her sets.

Hope she restocks soon. I missed the floral stamps and dies. Those samples really got me. Now I must have them. Love the trees, too!

I think Betsy is an extraordinary designer, but I'm not interested in anything I've seen thus far.

I really hope she has one this year. I'm excited to see the samples everyone comes up with for all of her sets. Most of her stamps are right up my alley. I love her kits also, but I only got 2 of her kits before... they were a little pricey. Hopefully they'll be better priced at The Greetery if she makes any. Hope she restocks soon. I missed the floral stamps and dies. Those samples really got me. Now I must have them. Love the trees, too! She did say they were submitted the restocking order today, Monday. Hopefully it won't be long before she receives the shipment. Part of me wants that restock order to hurry up and happen but my wallet tells me it's ok to wait.  |

I liked most of Betsy's 1st release. I like the fact that she's doing a release every 2nd month - gives more time to save up a bit!

When PTI was releasing every month I just felt like I could never catch up. I would order and then I would get my supplies and then I would start to think about some cards I wanted to create with them and then before you know it you make just 1 or 2 cards and then there was a new release... |

I used the Fleur Impressions stamps and dies, as well as the Comforting Commands stamps and dies (one of the sentiments)… They are truly beautiful. As I told a few other people, the Fleur Impressions stamps might be a little intimidating to use for some stampers (especially beginners). I had a tiny bit of trouble when learning to align the 2 peonies (Betsy said they're peonies, but I see roses). I looked up how to align them on The Greetery website and only had to do that once. Now I stamp the layers without much effort. Anyway, the results are stunning. I only wish I had more time to play around with tons of other color variations.

Hmm I see roses too but nice that they are actually peonies as I don't have any other peony stamps. I see Betsy has just posted a Fleur Impressions video. I didn't get a chance to use mine last weekend as I was busy in the garden but intend to break them out this weekend.

I like the succulent dies a lot. I watched her video on inking them and they turned out really great, very dimensional. I like the two terrariums also. The big one is really big so be aware.

First day of the 2nd release looks really nice and she’s got members of the old team guesting. Loved both sets. Hard on my wallet this month. The eucalyptus fits nicely into the terrarium dies she did first release. Lemons coming also. Everyone is doing citrus this month, go figure. I like Julie Ebersole’s set for Ellen Hutson because of her sentiment, “Squeeze the Day.”

I like the eucalyptus but don’t think I’ll be ordering this month. Too many expenses around home at the moment.

I ordered a bunch more Oxide inks after I watched Betsy’s video coloring her peony set layers with those. I like her second release even better and she uses that same technique on the birds. I plan to order a couple of sets. I think her new line is so much better than anything she ever did for PTI but I own her old stamp sets and like them. I just think she has really kicked it up a notch.

I just think she has really kicked it up a notch. I just watched that video this afternoon - it was great. I have some distress oxides but now I want all the colours, especially the more vibrant ones. I placed an order today for the bird set, the branch set, and the SImple Things (branches/leaves/flowers) set - I can't wait to get my order. I hope it ships fast because I had it sent to my parent's condo in Florida where I'll be for the next two weeks. I am super impressed with Betsy, she has amazing style, and seems very professional as well. |

Got the lemons, the mason jar, and the eucalyptus sets. Can’t believe I got the jar since I already have several. This one is much better than the others because, it has three layers. The lemons layer up nicely. Haven’t tried the eucalyptus yet. I really like her style. I ordered Friday and received my order Monday.

My mom ordered the Katie’s Cuties Fan-Sea stamp set and die for me and it arrived last week. Omg... it is so CUTE! The octopus reminds me of the octopus from Finding Nemo. Betsy is extremely talented but her cards tend to be too fussy for me. I do love a lot of the stamps I’m seeing from her, though, and I know I will order from her in the future. Releasing every other month makes perfect sense. The PTI monthly releases were overwhelming and I have a ton of PTI sets that I’ve only used once. |
