I made this a shaped card by cutting the back piece on a folded piece of white cs and moved the die up just a bit so it didn't cut through the fold when I die cut it. The outline of the jar was die cut with Cherry Cobbler cs. For the cookies I hot foiled all the images with Speckled Prism foil, and then colored them with the coordinating stencils.
Here's a bit of a side view so you can see how the card opens for the inside sentiment. The little tag at the top with the "very merry" is an oldie from PTI called Tiny Tags.
Here's a closer up of the cookies and hopefully you can see some of the sparkle from the foiling better. I finished with some red glitter Stickles on the holly berries and also a few red glitter gems (PFS). This was so much fun to make that I made another one in a different color frame...
There's lots more inspiration from the DT that you can find right HERE, so check it out and play along to get started on those Christmas cards. This challenge is open till Thursday, July 3rd @ 8:00PM.

What a cute jar filled with sweet treats. Both cards are darling!
Oooohhhhh, I'm so glad you used the set and had fun with it! Your cards are pretty and I'll bet the others are too -- great idea to switch up the colors, but use the same card plan, so you can scratch away at getting caught up with Christmas cards -- something I desperately need to do!
This shaped card is awesome, Marcia! It's perfect for this challenge in both colors! I love how the foil looks like shiny icing on the cookies!
What a sweet holiday tableau in a jar. They are so pretty.
Well, these are just the cutest Christmas cards and how perfect for the challenge! Lots of darling little bits of Christmas cheer in those jars! I especially love the lollipop! You're well on your way to being ready for mailing. I wish I could say the same, tsk.
