Crafty friends - welcome back to The Greetery New Release Week! This week, we are introducing you to The Greetery Holiday 2022 new collection called A Song Of Christmas! We had three days of new products and projects (today is day three!) to show you. And, tomorrow Friday October 7th at 10am the new release will be LIVE! Do you have your shopping list ready??!! Each day of release week has a song theme, and today's theme is We Wish You A Merry Christmas! Complete with Figgy puddings too!! I have three more projects to show you today - and tons of pictures. So grab a cuppa and sit down with me while I show you everything fun! Thanks for joining me all week! It's been wonderful hanging out with you! I feel incredibly grateful to be part of this team and to work for Betsy.
My first card features the brand new Stencilscapes Winter stencils and the gorgeous (seriously) new Frosty Pines Dies! I created a shadow box, diorama type of card to showcase that beautiful stenciled panel!! The finished card size is A2 and my card is constructed with Kraft cardstock. I placed my finished stenciled panel behind those pretty pines to make it look like you're peeking in on this winter wonderland!
Here's a top down view of the simple construction of my card. For the top part (the part with the arch die cut in it) is a kraft piece of paper measuring 5.5" x 5.75". I used my Scorpal to score three lines on each side at 1/4 in intervals. Then I folded those score lines into a small accordion fold. Once it's folded it measures the size of an A2 card. I backed it with the stenciled panel and then attached a card base to it! SO simple! There are some tutorials over on Splitcoaststampers for different types of shadow box cards!! I modified one of them to do this simple fold. :-)
Here's a side view! I affixed those pretty trees onto the sides of the archway. This card folds flat!! Since the trees hang over the edge, I will use an A6 envelope for a bit more room.
There are eight stencils to make this scene!!! You can make it vintage/classic like I did or go crazy with pretty bright colors too! I can't wait to see what the rest of the team made with this! I added lots and lots of glitter to this scene, the trees, and everywhere else! Ha!
The sentiment is from the brand new Cooking Up Christmas stamp set! I put it on a little banner for the top of my card. Christmas Cheer indeed!
Next up is a trio of cozy coffee cups! This card features the brand new Cooking Up Christmas stamps and dies and stencils!! My finished card is an A2 white card base. I used the Patchwork die to die cut a gingham background...then I layered vellum and a white panel. Fresh and fun!
I started by stenciling three coffee mugs in pastel colors. I die cut them out... Then I used the small snowflake stamp from the Snowflake Soiree set to add a detail to each cup in the matching darker color. I stenciled and die cut out the candy canes too. They are perfect!!!
I stacked the coffee cups and attached them with foam tape. I added in the candy canes and then stamped some snowflakes on the background. The stamp set has the details to add coffee and a swirl! So cute.
And finally, my last project(s) for Release Week! Guess what? Figgy Puddings!! Oh my goodness! The cutest little treat boxes ever! I do love a treat box project! This brand new die is called the Figgy Pudding Box Die and it's great! I made four little puddings....two traditional Christmas ones, and then a couple more for fun! The bow on top is a separate die!! I die cut the pieces out of two colors of brown cardstock. The base is two die cut pieces glued together. Then you put the detail on top. The lid is also two die cut pieces glued together. Really easy to assemble.
I had lots of fun mixing and matching the toppings.... Glitter, sprinkles, holly, candy canes.... The possibilities are endless!
Here's a close up of the brand new Holly Topper Embellishments. Wow are they pretty!! I want to put them on everything!! LOL. I added a tiny tag to the front using the Hug in a Mug stamp set sentiment!!
Here it is in my hand so you can see the size and scale!
So my brain started going.... What else can I make with this??!! Well, it is fall.... So I made a pumpkin figgy pudding!! Yeah!! Orange cardstock and then petite gingham in green on top. I used THIS DIE to make the jack-o-lantern face... What do you think?? SO FUN!
So then I kept thinking....what about little Valentine treats!? So I made a pink figgy pudding! EEP!
This could be for Valentine's or maybe even a bridal shower?? A lot fits inside - candy is my first thought!!
Whew! Well what a fun week it's been! This is the official end of projects and products reveals for release week! Thank you for all the kind comments and for encouraging me all week. I hope you are excited to craft with the new goodies. I am very much looking forward to seeing what you make too!!

Love the shadow box and cup of cheer cards!!!
Posted by: Heather | 10/06/2022 at 01:43 PM
Dear Wanda - Well, it might finally happen! I might run out of superlatives. I love your work and I hope you don't feel like I'm some sort of papercrafting stalker. I adore (ADORE!!!) your winter scene. Of all the very pretty cards I have seen today on this hop using that set, yours has what I consider the perfect blend of colors. I also love all the options you've shared for the treat boxes - PHENOMENAL!! That pumpkin one made me sort of erupt. I let out an "EEEEE!!!!" and my husband asked if I was OK. LOL Your talent is OFF THE CHARTS, lady!!! Finally, the cup of cheer card is really pretty with its pastel colors. I SO appreciate that you give ideas for how to use these items outside of Christmas.
