Gingerbread Spice

Hi Cottage Cutz fans!  It's Jeanne today with a sweet card.  I decided to use pink and pastel green instead of traditional Christmas colors so this could be a thinking of you card, birthday card, or in more traditional colors a Christmas card.

I've collected gingerbread men for years so there are several of this year's Christmas release that I think are really special!  This card uses two of them.

To begin, I cut a piece of background patterned paper to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inch to fit on my A2 card base.  I die cut a white panel using the largest of the Nested Stitched Eyelet Rectangle dies.  Then I cut a 1/2 x 5 1/2 inch strip of white card stock and laid down a piece of washi tape.  I used the white base because otherwise the washi tape got lost on the dots of the patterned paper.

I die cut the main pieces of the image from a few colors of card stock and the smaller pieces from white.

I used Copic markers to color in the small bow, whisk and tip on the pastry bag.  And I sponged the edges of the girl, her dress and pocket, and the bowl with their corresponding colors of ink (Baked Brown Sugar, Pistachio Pudding and Mint Macaron - the names of the ink and the subject matter is making me hungry as I write this!)

I used a stamp from the Sweet Gingerbread stamp and die set for the sentiment. It is stamped in Baked Brown Sugar.

I adhered the panel to the card front at a slight angle using foam tape.

My final step was to glue the gingerbread girl down and add the bowl and pastry bag.  To give them some dimension I used foam dots underneath them.

Thanks for stopping by today and have a creative weekend!

Good Morning Scrapping Cottage Friends!

Hi it is Pam sharing with you today! Last week I made a card with the Gingerbread Man so I thought this week I would make one with the Gingerbread Lady! I had so much fun using the Gingerbread Baking Set die and it is just so adorable!!

Design Steps:

1.  Cut out all of the pieces using DP and the Gingerbread Baking Set.  Then ink the edges for added depth.  I used little rhinestones for her eyes and a little heart shaped button on her dress

2.  Use a white A2 card base, cut a slightly smaller piece of white and run it through the swiss dot embossing folder.  Use a pre-made frame from designer paper I used Pinecone Press paper.

4. Pop up the frame on the embossed piece and add the ribbon then glue to the white card base

5. Pop up all of the pieces into the frame and add the sentiment!
