Gingerbread Man

Run, Run as fast as you can…. Does this stamp set make you think of that childhood rhyme? Funny it made me think of it when I first saw the Gingerbread Man Bundle (165785)

And this cute little guy is great for those fun holiday projects with it’s option of creating gingerbread man shaped cards and gift tags, or even a treat item.

Today’s card both use this Bundle, this first card is simple stamping and die cutting.

Done in fun bright colors, Melon Mambo, Timid Tiger, and Summer Splash. The gingerbread man was cut out in Pecan Pie and stamped using our White Craft Ink (147277) and Memento Tuxedo Black (132708/133456). The sentiment is stamped in Real Red. These colors are pulled from the package of the Delightful Decorative Dots (165915) that embellish the gingerbread man.

This next card uses the classic colors Crumb Cake and Cherry Cobbler and steps it up with the white trim on the gingerbread man being heat embossed with our white embossing powder found in the Basics Wow! Embossing Powder (165679).

A bit of the same craft white ink has been swiped across the Christmas Words Collage Hybrid Embossing Folder & Dies (165912) to highlight the words in the background. And the front of the card opens

to show off a sentiment and allows you to sign. Want more space? instead of a embossed quarter sheet of card stock, you could add this little guy to a full card base and add an inside panel. Don’t you love the flexibility we have when we create to make it our own?

And don’t forget tomorrow kicks off our Black Friday sale – be sure to stop by and check it out!

This bundle is filled with 3 great products that work together to create wonderful winter projects.

Check out today’s cards using this bundle. Today’s first card uses just the Snowy Delights Stamp Set (165801) simple stamping to create a soft snow inspired card.

Stamped in Pool Party and accented in Misty Moonlight with pops of silver found in the Misty Moonlight & Silver Edged 1/2″ Ribbon (165931) and Rhinestones Basic Jewels (144220). A punch, Labeled with Love Punch (163569) that has been sponged on the edges makes the sentiment pop. Quick and easy!

And this next card steps it up while using the dies and simple sponging to add a fun negative image filled with lots of color.

Sponging has been added to the layer below with Lemon Lime Twist, Blueberry Bushel and Azure Afternoon.

The Azure Afternoon has also been used to stamp the snowflakes and used as the base for the card. Summer Splash pulls it all together with the sentiment and mat.

What do you think? Soft blues, or a fun pop of Lemon Lime Twist?
