Hello there! It's another day of fun new product introductions at The Greetery and I'm starting things off today, with this cutie-pie new treat container made with the new Arch Box Large dies!! It's quick and easy to put together and bonus, it holds a lot!! AND, depending on how you create yours, you can use it as a treat AND gift card holder! Let me show you how I did just that!
The above photo shows how much this little post box will hold.....four of those small candy bars!!! AND, check out the pocket I added to the front! It's perfect for tucking a gift card into! Once they pull the gift card out, they still have a cute little post box treat container!
I simply die cut the rectangle and then added a thin line of adhesive around three sides, leaving the top side open. Easy peasy pocket!
Here, you can see it without the gift card in the pocket. For scale, notice how big those candy bars are compared to the gift card!
I used the new Post Box details dies, to cut out all the decorative elements for the front.
I cut the feet out of shiny gold card stock, and the pocket out of gold glitter card stock.

Next up is the new Dear Santa set, which I paired with the previously released Postcard Details die, which I used on the base of the card front.
I stamped some greenery from Dear Santa, as well as the sentiment elements, and then die cut some sprigs with the new Rosemary & Berry die set from gold glitter card stock. I added the With Love sentiment from Tagged Elegance, in conjunction with the new die that's being released to go with that set!
All the stamp and label elements are from the new North Pole Post set. I accented the label with more greenery from Dear Santa.

Next up is a really fun one that reminds me of a Christmas choir album cover from my childhood! My mom had a Christmas record in the 70's and the album jacket had a similar feel to this one and it just makes me smile to think about it. I loved that album. Wish we still had it! Pretty sure we lost it when my parents' basement flooded!
On the background, I used the Bookish Holiday Frames set to add the border, and then I pulled out the Crest No. 1 die from last month's release.
PRO TIP: If you want to make your die cuts look longer, try what I did here! I cut the crest die cut in half, and stamped the sentiment on either half. I placed them both behind the MERRY die cut, with half at the top and half at the bottom. To create the elongated illusion, I simply added another piece of red card stock in the middle, that serves to visually connect the two pieces. Since they're all layered behind the MERRY, you can't see the seams of that additional piece of card stock, but because you can peek through the cut outs on the MERRY die cut, it looks like it's all one big, extra long crest!
For the MERRY letters, I blended on some purple at the top, bright red in the middle and dark red at the bottom. So fun! The MERRY layers were created with the new Flourished Phrases MERRY stencil, stamp & die.

Last one for today.....I used the new Ribbon Frame die & stencil, to create the pretty ribbon frame around the whole card front, and then layered on some die cut sprigs from Rosemary & Berry, as well as some from Dear Santa.
The frame die comes with a separate bow die, so I cut out the bow and popped it up on top of the one that's built into the frame. Gives it a bit of added depth.
The sentiment is another from the new Scripted Holiday Sentiments. SUCH a good set!
Oh, and the berries were cut from more red glitter card stock! We're Christmas crafting! Bring on the sparkle!! :)
