Greet & Treat with the Winter Tree Arch by Jean Okimoto

Greet everyone - and treat the kid-sized tricksters - with the new Winter Tree Arch. It's fun, a little wonky and slightly spooky. Hi - Jean here, double-dipping with this versatile new die from our Christmas 2023 Collection. Whittle Scary Guys - from Poppystamps - complete the Halloween scene.

Prep Winter Tree Arch for easy removal by rubbing it briskly with scrunched waxed paper. Cut it from black and light kraft cardstock.

Trim about 1/16" from the sides of the base of the black diecut. Attach it to a gray 3" wide Nested Globes diecut - keep the far left tree trunk and the open center area free of adhesive to add the Poppystamps pumpkin and Rickety House.

Cut Rickety House from light kraft cardstock. Add a scrap of the light yellow Graceful Garden Glitter Pad 6x6 behind the door and windows.

Cut the Boo Posh Script background from olive cardstock. Pressure emboss it with the detailed top layer. Cut the top layer from dark orange cardstock. Pressure-embossing the base layer makes it very easy attach the top layer - it just settles right in! Attach it to a top-folded black A2 card.

Cut 2 moons from the silver Glitzy Glitter Pad 6x6 with the ¾" Circle Basics die.

Cut 2 pumpkins from bright orange cardstock with the Poppystamps Whittle Scary Guys die. Cut the dinosaur and the other guy from green cardstock. Cut a ghost from white cardstock. Attach black cardstock scraps behind the ghost and pumpkins.

Fold an 8-½" x 3" strip of black cardstock in half crosswise. Place the bottom cutting edge of the 3" wide Nested Globes die just below the fold and diecut the folded cardstock to create a simple treat wrapper. Punch a hole at the top.

Attach the kraft Winter Tree Arch - keep some spots free of adhesive to add the ghost, moon and pumpkin. Attach the diecuts. Attach a Ghiradelli Square inside the wrapper with doublestick tape. Tie it with orange cord.
