Delightful Decorative Dots | Stamp, Scrap & Create with Me

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!

Are you a Peanuts fan? I grew up watching the Charlie Brown Christmas special so it was the first thing that went through my mind when I saw this fun little line art tree in the Festive Friends Bundle (Online Exclusive 166039).

Along with this cute little tree there are 3 great images that are quick and easy to color. Check out today’s card made with this set.

I love this quick and easy card that highlights this tree and the fun little stand that has been created with a couple of pieces of our Country Woods Designer Series Paper (163393). Clever right? to add interest to the background a easy technique has been used to add the speckle in the background.

How is it done? Create a mask for your snowman and use a toothbrush dipped in a bit of Secret Sea reinker and run your finger across the bristles to fleck or flick the tooth brush to create this fine misty look. A bit messy, so remember to protect your work service, but a lot of fun!

A Delightful Decorative Dots (165915) was used as the tree topper, but you could also use those fun little Faceted Snowflakes (Online Exclusive 166077). Both are found in our Mini Catalog.
