Welcome to Week 3 of the Holiday Releases over at
The Greetery! This week we have some new dies to share that I had SO much fun using!
To see Week 1 and 2, click
HERE to check the full releases.
I love finding creative ways to use my favorite dies beyond traditional cardmaking, and these projects are perfect examples. From a beautiful light-up Nativity scene to adorable handmade gift packaging, both projects are perfect for adding a little handmade charm to the Christmas season!

A Glowing Christmas Nativity
For my first project, I created a sweet little Christmas decoration using the Capsule Nativity Scene Die. I love how this die creates such a beautiful scene using cardstock!
After assembling the back 2 Nativity scene dies with a thick foam tape between layers, I die cut the first layer into the Stationery Box Die base. After assembling the box, I tucked a tiny LED light inside to give it a soft, warm glow. The light brings the entire scene to life and makes such a pretty little decoration for the Christmas season!
This would be a lovely addition to a mantel, shelf, or holiday tablescape. It would also make a thoughtful handmade gift!

A Sweet Handmade Gift
For my second project, I use the Market Tote Die and Market Tote Mini Die to create the cutest little gift packaging!
After assembling the Tote and Mini tote in white cardstock and yellow cardstock, I used the Capsule Quilt Shop Embossing Folder, Capsule Quilt Shop Stencil, and Capsule Quilt Shop Die to add beautiful quilted details on the front of each tote. I just love the texture and dimension these products create! They give the totes such a cozy, handmade feel that is perfect for a homemade sweet treat.
For the larger tote, I added a sentiment from the Simple Holiday Sentiments Stamp Set set to the front. And what better way to finish off a handmade gift than with a homemade chocolate chip cookie tucked inside?
The combination of the quilted design, sweet sentiment, and homemade treat makes this such a fun little gift! These totes would be perfect for neighbors, teachers, friends, or anyone who could use a little handmade gift.
I hope these projects inspire you to look at your dies in a whole new way! Sometimes the smallest handmade details make the sweetest gifts, and I love that these projects can be enjoyed throughout the Christmas season.
Thanks so much for stopping by today, and happy crafting!

GIVEAWAY
The Greetery is generously giving away TWO Novelties and Nativities Bundles! For your chance to win, simply leave a comment on this blog and all the blogs in the list below! Be sure to get your comments in by Wednesday night, 10/28 at 11:59 pm EDT.
Good luck, friends!
A little info about commenting here on my blog....
A quick note about comments! My comments are moderated because, unfortunately, I get a TON of spam—the kind telling me about cholesterol medication and all sorts of other weird bot things. 😂 So, if you leave a comment and don’t see it right away, don’t worry! I’ll see it and get it posted for you.
The other issue seems to be whether or not you need a Google account to comment. I have my settings set to “Anyone,” so technically you should be able to leave a comment using any type of login…but Blogger is a pain.
If you’re having trouble leaving a comment, or you’re not sure whether your name is showing up with your comment, please do me one little favor:
Add your name and email address to the end of your comment.
That way, if your comment is chosen as a winner, we’ll know exactly who you are and how to reach you!
I’m sorry for the extra hassle. I’ve Googled, changed settings, switched things around, and tried all the things. I have no idea why it doesn’t work the way it should.
But, again…
Blogger is a pain. 😂
