Hello there and welcome to the final day of new product introductions for The Greetery's new A Song of Christmas Collection! Holy moly, are there some cute things to show you today, starting with this darling new treat box!!! Can you even handle the cuteness?!! And y'all! The best part is that it was EASY to put together! I timed it. Twenty minutes to build the box and topper -- and that was without the help of any instruction! I just figured it out as I went!
I didn't time adding all the decorating, because you could add as much or as little as you want, to bling it up, but I went with a more is more approach! Haha! I love it!
I LOVE that this has the little cake part and then the icing is just a lid, so it's very no fuss. You don't have to worry about any sort of hinged opening situation.
Once I put the lid on the cake, I squirted on some liquid glue on the top and on all the sides.
PRO TIP: After I squeezed glue all over it, I used my finger to spread out the glue over the entire surface, so it was a nice smooth, even coating of glue and THEN sprinkled on all the glitter.
Once the glitter was on, I added the "chocolate" sprinkles with more glue and THEN, I put the bow through the hole on the lid and anchored it inside, by folding the pieces of the bow apart like little tabs.
Lastly, I topped it with a couple of the new Holly Topper Embellishments, as well as a couple Botanicuts: Pine Bough die cuts.
You can take the lid back off and add the chocolate detail pieces now, or you can add those before you put the lid on. Either way is easy peasy!

For this card, I used the new StencilScapes Winter stencil set to create this fun winter scene. After stenciling everything, I used one of the A2 arches to die cut an arch from the center of the panel.
PRO TIP: Be brave! Haha! Sometimes, it can be super scary to stencil an entire panel and then die cut it, but the results may be amazing!!!
I adhered the center arch directly to the card base, and then popped the rest of it up with foam adhesive for dimension!
Then, I used the new Frosty Pine dies to cut out those fun trees! They're also stenciled onto the scene, so it's super easy to lay these die cut trees right on top. No guessing about placement! I adhered the trees flat on the outer panel, but added a bit of foam adhesive to the little bits that hang over the center arch, just to give them some support so they don't get mushed in the mail.
I die cut two sets of tree branches for each tree and colored one set with green ink, and then left the second set white. The white set, I snipped apart, so I could add the "snowy" bits to the green layer.
Lastly, I added a couple little Winter Medley die cuts to the bottom, for a bit of added detail.

Oh my word, friends, how cute is this?! I don't know if it's because I've become a bit of a baker in the last few months, or what, but this set is just so darling! It's called Cooking Up Christmas and there are stamps, stencils and matching dies.
You can use the stencils to create a card with a specific layout, or you can do what I did here, and rearrange everything to create your own layout.
I really wanted the mistletoe to be right at the top and in the center, so that was my main reason for changing things up, and I think the end result turned out so cute!
PRO TIP: I added a few of the little negative stars that came out of the Twinkle Background die on another card! They add a fun little accent in a few places!
