12 Days of Christmas--Day 5!

/

So I have shared a scrapbook page and a tag so far in our 12 Days of Christmas series so today is a good day to share a cute card idea featuring the Gingerbread Man Bundle. I hope you have been enjoying what Melanie and I have been designing and sharing with you so far.

I decided use a base of Garden Green for my card and add a couple of strips of gingham DSP from the Christmas Tags & More 6x6 stacks.

These 1/2 x 4 1/4 inch strips were layered behind another panel of Garden Green card stock that is 2 2/4 x 4 1/4 inches wide. I ran this panel through the Forever Plaid Embossing Folder.

The gingerbread man is stamped with White Craft ink onto Pecan Pie card stock and then embossed with white embossing power to give that icing sugar illusion. Out of all of our browns I find that Pecan Pie is the closes to the color of actual gingerbread.

I relied on the dies from the Gingerbread Man die collection to make this card cute and fun. The handle of the lollipop is colored black using a dark black Stampin’ Blend and the little heart in the center is from the House Builder Punch (it was released last holiday season).

I was able to create candy canes facing each direction by just flipping the card stock over on the red candy cane and gluing things in reverse. I added a little bit of Red & White Bakers Twine tied into a bow over the Pretty in Pink candy cane.

The sentiment ‘Baking Spirits Bright’ is from the stamp set and was stamped twice. Once in Real Red and the other in Garden Green. I cut the sentiment apart using paper snips to add it in a different configuration. The gum drops are in Real Red and the wrapped candy in Coastal Cabana.

I love how fun and whimsical this card turned out and its a great way to feature the dies in a project.

Hop on over to Melanie to see what she created yesterday (you don’t want to miss anything) and tomorrow she will have another project for you to see!

If you are needing to do some holiday shopping and need to place an order, please consider shopping with me so I can continue to love what I do. And if you haven’t heard, Melanie and I are hosting a crafting cruise in summer 2026! We would LOVE to have you cruise and craft along with us.
