Gingerbread Tags

Need tags?  

Quick post today to show you a cute little tag I made for a neighbor gift.  

 This came together so quickly, using the Gingerbread dies, Frosted Gingerbread stamps, Gingerbread and Peppermint Memories & More cards and the Tailor Made Tags die set.

Cut two of the largest tags, using Basic White and Real Red - and don't forget the little hole-dingle thingy (the reinforcement for the hole that the ribbon goes through).  😊

Stamp the greeting in Real Red ink on the white tag.  Then cut the gingerbread snowflake using the Kraft paper, Basic White and the Gingerbread dies.  Glue the "frosting" on the "cookie", and add it to the tag with Dimensionals.

And that adorable spatula?  Well you can either make your own with the What's Cookin' stamps and Cookin' dies, or simply use the pre-cut one from the Memories & More cards.  Easy peasy!

All gifts need a cute tag, right?

Peppermint Kisses

It's Merry Monday time and today I'm sending you peppermint kisses with a fun-fold card.  And it's SO easy!

So is it just me, or are those peppermint candies the ultimate Christmas candy?   What a fun, bright holiday greeting!

This standard-size card has a little twist - I lopped off 2-1/8" from the front panel and then cut a Scalloped Contour piece in Granny Apple Green to help cover up the inside greeting.

I LOVE the Frosted Gingerbread stamps!  Those candies!  That greeting!  And those little tiny peppermints!  So sweet!

Inside is a standard Basic White piece but I added a few "candies" punched from the Gingerbread & Peppermint patterned paper.  

Definitely easy, and oh so cute!

Snowflakes for Merry Monday

Time for another Merry Monday, and today I'm showcasing the Frosted Gingerbread bundle.  These cute stamps look great when stamped on Crumb Cake or Kraft paper, but I decided to try something different.

 I opted to use the dies only, cut with Basic White so they look like snowflakes.  And with a silver and navy palette, I was hoping to get a wintery feel.  What do you think?

There are actually two dies, nested together to make this pretty snowflake.  If you are making "cookies", you would use the bigger, outline die with Kraft paper and the smaller, inside die with white to look like frosting.  But I kept them together to look like an intricate snowflake.

Silver embossing makes the greeting sparkle!

The silver frame cut with the Scalloped Contours dies with a Stitched Rectangle die in the center.  I used retired Silver Glimmer paper 😔...is it me?  Or does everyone think that navy and silver together make beautiful holiday cards?  Well, the Rectangle die is also retired, so I just opted to use the retired silver.  

And speaking of retired...I used a Noble Peacock jewel (remember them?  One of my favorites!) for the centers of the snowflakes and next to the greeting.  But it's easy to color our clear Basic Rhinestone jewels with a Night of Navy Stampin' Blend marker to get the same effect.  

I love how this came out!

But if you prefer a more simplified holiday card, here's another I made while cutting the snowflake dies:

This is about as simple as a card can be.  

I started with a Gingerbread & Peppermint Memories & More Cards & Envelopes.  These oversized cards (4-1/4" x 6-1/4") are perfect for using with the Gingerbread & Peppermint Memories & More Card Pack.  The Crumb Cake scalloped layer in the center is printed right on the card.  

I stamped the greeting from Tidings & Trimmings with Versamark ink and heat-embossed it with White Embossing Powder.

Then I simple cut the "inside" of the snowflake die with Basic White cardstock and adhered it to the card with a Glue Dot.  

These cards are simple and easy, but would make a wonderful holder for a family photo!  

Check out the Gingerbread & Peppermint suite of products and make your holiday card-making easy!  And who doesn't love easy at THIS time of year???

Ringing in the Holidays

Time for another Merry Monday, and today I have a fun-fold card for you.  

I first saw this on Debbie Henderson's blog and decided to give it a try.  It's actually VERY easy!  

Take a look:

Looks cute, but wait 'til it opens:

How fun is that?

This is actually a little gate-fold card adhered to a standard-size piece of cardstock.  Easy!

I started with a piece of 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" piece of Real Red cardstock and adhered the Mossy Meadow dotted paper from Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper pack.  This was then set aside.

The top piece is Real Red, 4-1/4" x 11" and scored at 2", 3-3/4", 7-1/4" and 9".  This is then folded in towards the center on the 3-3/4" and 7-1/4" folds, and then backwards on the 2" and 9" folds, so you have a mountain-valley on each side of the center.  

I added 4" x 1-3/4" strips of the Mossy Meadow dotted paper to the inside panels, and 4" x 1-3/4" strips of the red patterned paper to the outside panels.  Then the whole piece is adhered to the 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" piece I set aside (above) for a card base.  

The inside panel is 3-1/4" x 4", and is stamped with the Frosted Gingerbread stamps.  The little peppermints were stamped in Real Red ink and cut out with one of the Gingerbread dies.  So cute!  

Then the outside.  A Real Red 3-1/4" x 3-1/4" square was topped with a 3" x 3" piece of Basic White, stamped with a greeting in Mossy Meadow.  And those bells!  LOVE!  Cut using the Gingerbread dies and added to the front with Liquid Glue, then topped with a bow of Real Red Ruffled Ribbon.

Who wouldn't love to receive a special card like this?
