Yum, More Christmas Cookies

Hi, Lois here with my last Christmas card of the year.  A couple of weeks ago I made a card using the CottageCutz ornament dies and Peachy Keen face stamps, dishing up a plate of gingerbread cookies.   After I made the card, I thought, "Wouldn't it be fun to have someone take a bite out of one of those cookies?"  Thus, the idea for today's card was born.

Supplies for this card:

Cream cardstock base (pre-cut) 10" x 6 1/2", folded in half

Green cardstock - 4 3/4" x 6 1/4"

Patterned paper - 4 5/8" x 6 1/8"

Kraft cardstock

Red cardstock (scraps)

Green cardstock (scraps)

Kraft-colored cardboard

White detail embossing powder

Versamark ink

Doily

White gel pen

Red craft paint and brush

Scallop Circle punch

CottageCutz Star and  Ball Ornament dies

CottageCutz Merry Christmas die

CottageCutz Winterland Holly die

Peachy Keen face stamps

Cut three of the smallest star ornaments and three of the smallest circle ornaments from Kraft cardstock; then cut six of each from the cardboard. 

Using the punch, cut out the "bite marks" from one Kraft circle and two cardboard circles -- ensuring that the punches are the same size.  Then "build" the cookies by gluing two cardboard pieces and one Kraft piece together.   After stamping and embossing the faces on each of the cookies, add some extra icing with a white gel pen.  Paint a touch of red on the candy canes.

Cut the holly leaves and sentiment.

Construct the card, leaving an open space on the doily to show that the cookie had originally been there.
