It's time to get serious about finishing Christmas cards, so I made several of this design to use up some leftover designer paper.
The image is a stamp from Sweet'n Sassy stamps that I colored with a marker, then die-cut into a stitched tag, layering with a larger tag of dsp. There is a tiny red sticker in the hole on top, and a twine bow fills the hole in the larger tag. I added some sparkly white Nuvo drops for the "frosting" on the buttons, cheeks and limbs.
The side panels were done with a MFT border die and placed beneath a piece of gingerbread dsp I got at Tuesday Morning probably 3 years ago. The inside is stamped with "Have a Very Sweet Christmas."
For this version I used some SU! designer papers.
And here are the last of them using up some leftover designer paper pieces from a Christmas paper pad.
I'll enter the first card into the following challenges:

ReplyDeleteI so love, love, love these Gingerbread cards, Carol! I have a deep love of Gingers which is evident when walking thru my house! These cards are perfect for Christmas and each one is different but special! I hope one lands in my mailbox in a few weeks! *hint hint* Thanks for sharing and may you have a blessed and happy Thanksgiving Day! Love & hugs!
ReplyDeleteOh they look lovely, I like the gingerbread man theme running through the tag to the patterned paper and the pops of red. That is a perfect sentiment for the card, great job on making all four x
