The Greetery A Song of Christmas Reveal Day 3 {We Wish You A Merry Christmas...Now Bring Us Some Figgy Pudding}

Well friends, it's day 3 of full reveals for the A Song of Christmas collection from The Greetery and boy, have we been "cooking up some Christmas cheer"! I'm so excited to share my projects with you today, but first, make sure to head to The Greetery Blog for the official "meet and greet" for each of the new products! Also, leave a comment here and on each designers' blog to be eligible for a chance to win one of 2 $50 gift certificates to the shop!

All of the new products will be available for purchase tomorrow, October 7th at 10 am ET in The Greetery Shop!

My first card for today uses some of the CUTEST new products that you're sure to fall in love with! I combined the new Christmas Pudding Die (the cute pudding on the right side of the card) and the adorable new Cooking Up Christmas stamp/stencil/die combo! This stamp set is just perfect for creating those cute "illustrated recipes" you've probably seen around! I'm showing a card made with that look in a minute!

I used a few of the cute images included in the Cooking Up Christmas set to accent the cute "figgy pudding" with the new Mistletoe Arches die/stencil that was showcased yesterday; I can't seem to stop using it! I layered it all up on a Pure Poppy card base stamped with the Windowpane Plaid background. Lots of glitter and a stamped sentiment from the Cooking Up Christmas stamp set finish off this fun design!

This card was created by using the Cooking Up Christmas stencils, which lay the card out for you like this, to create the cutest *almost*one layer card. Aren't the sayings around the design elements so cute? I had a few diecut/stenciled pieces leftover from my previous card so I popped them over the top with foam squares to give it a bit more dimension! You know me....cards without layers are HARD for me!

This photo also features the MOST adorable thing from the entire release: the Figgy Pudding Box and Bow Topper! Oh my....so cute and SO easy to put together with a few tips I will share with you!

To begin, you will need to cut 2 of the main box piece, two of the frosting top, two bows, and 6 of the cake detail pieces. The die collection comes with two of these, so you can get them all cut with three passes in your die cut machine. At first these little pieces were stumping me, but after fiddling, I figured it out! ha ha!

I die cut everything from white cardstock #1 it's easy to run it through your machine as quickly as possible without having to change out colors and dies. #2 coloring with Distress Oxide inks and finger daubers makes me feel like I'm an artist! ha ha!

Before I move on, I want to point out how nicely this cute pudding looks layered on the Cake Pops Stand. I also placed it on top of a red circle that was die cut using the Crimped Circles Die

I suggest assembling the icing portion with CLEAN hands; mine were still a bit inky and I got some ink on the inside of the top while I was gluing it together...woops! I used a bone folder to make all of the score lines nice and crisp before assembling so that it would go together easier.

You can glue two of the bow toppers together, put it in the hole at the top of the icing portion and then flare it out and secure it to the top with glue or tape. 

The die collection includes the cute holly that you can see right on top of the box lid, but Betsy is also offering the CUTEST Holly Topper Embellishments! They look just like fondant frosting decorations, don't you think? I also added a sweet tag saying "with Love" that is die cut using the and stamped using the cute sentiment from the Sketched Wildflower Bouquet Die Sketched Wildflower Bouquet stamp set. These boxes could hold about 6-8 Hershey Kisses candy, I'm guessing. Betsy might have more info on what it can hold on The Greetery blog.

My last project for today uses the latest addition to the StencilScapes collection: Winter! I've also used the new Frosty Pines dies to give the trees a bit of dimension.

To begin, I simply cut an A2 sized panel and stenciled away; I picked colors on the cool spectrum for an icy look!

I chose the "Merry and Bright" sentiment from the new Arched Holiday sentiments that was showcased yesterday and popped it up with foam squares.

The Frosty Pines dies also include the two little bunnies in the lower right corner, so I inked those up and popped them up so they can admire the cute skating couple!

Well, this concludes today's post! I hope you've enjoyed the last three days of reveals! Thanks for fluttering by!
