Priscilla's Papercrafts: Gingerbread Man

GingerSanta?

Sometimes I just don't know what to do with myself. So I start to play. I had a Gingerbread Man sitting on my desk, and after seeing other demonstrators turn their little guys into "others", I decided I needed a Santa.

And then he sat on my desk for another week.

This afternoon I used an old embossing folder and gave him a home at the North Pole. It's snowing there, but he's warm and happy!

I used a piece of 12" x 12" Two-Tone Cardstock in Pool Party, cut to 6" x 12" and scored at 6". The embossing folder is retired and I don't remember the name of it 😞, but after embossing I cut the mountains from the rest of the piece. The Light and Wonder dies has a great die that could be used to make a mountain if you wanted to duplicate this card.

For the Santa, I cut a second "man" in Real Red and one more in Basic Black. Then I just cut the "suit" and added in the mittens and boots. The "fur" is a piece of the hat from the Gingerbread Man dies; I just cut it several times in Basic White and pieced the pieces together to make the fur.

OK, time to get serious again...but I did have fun creating this little guy!

Gingerbread for Merry Monday

Did you know that the September - December Mini Catalog is almost here? You can begin to order on September 3rd, so get your shopping lists ready! This set is sure to sell quickly:

Gingerbread Man is adorable! There are coordinating dies that cut a huge cookie and lots of accessories for decorating your creations - think hats and scarves, candy canes and peppermint pinwheel candies. There's even a die for cutting off a limb! (Remember, it's a cookie! 😄 Does anyone remember Mr. Bill?)

I had fun creating my little guy. He's cut with Pecan Pie cardstock, and I used a stamp positioning tool to ink up the "icing" in Versamark and then embossing it with Wow White embossing powder.

There are several "faces" you can use - either by stamping or die cutting. Here I die-cut the eyes and mouth, and then I stamped the "cheeks" using Strawberry Slush ink (stamping off once).

I used a piece of the Peaceful Garden 12" x 12" designer series paper for the background, mounted on a Cloud Cover base.

And that tiny snowflake on the cup is a retired embellishment from last year - I had so many snowflakes I just have to use some up.

Gingerbread Man will be available Wednesday when the new catalog goes live. Products are available while supplies last, and I suspect this one will sell out quickly. So grab it while you can, and get "baking"!
