Gingerbread Men Cookies

Comments: 0

Time to get your baking on!  The first weekend in December is when I start to get my Holiday baking going.  So, how about some Gingerbread Men Cookies on a card to muster up those wonderful baked cookie aroma’s?  The gingerbread men are stamped using the Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set and punched out with the coordinating Cookie Cutter Builder Punch.  Check out the shiny cookie sheet!  It’s a piece of the Silver Foil Sheets that I cut 2″ x 5″.  I then punched each end with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch and scored the ends to fold up for the handles.  I used the Seaside Embossing Folder for the texture in the background because the wavy vertical lines reminded me of the great baking aroma wafting through the kitchen.  The tiny oven mitts are hand cut from the Candy Cane Christmas Designer Series Paper and the finishing touch is the gingerbread man embellishment from the Christmas Trinkets Embellishments.

Simple Christmas Card

Comments: 0

As we are now in December and Christmas is just a few short weeks away, some of you may be starting to “freak out” with a long to do list.  Well, I’m here to help you out by inspiring you with a beautiful Simple Christmas card that you can make a bunch of quite quickly.  Today’s card is simple, the stamping is just a simple sentiment, but check out all of the texture on this card!  By keeping the design very understated, we can add a lot of visual interest and not have it be too busy.

Stampin' Up! Holly Berry happiness stamp set, Christmas Trinkets Embellishments, Stampin' Studio

Let me point out all of the texture

1. The Holly Embossing Folder on the Garden Green card stock

2. The Dazzling Diamonds Glitter Paper gives us sparkle & shine

3. The Mint Macron 5/8″ Mini Striped Ribbon: allows us to feel the ridges in the stripes

4. The Real Red 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon: silky & smooth to the touch

5. The Christmas Trinket Embellishments: these pack a big punch in the texture department with every leaf and berry

So get your supplies out, copy the layout using what you have on hand, add some texture and pop them in the mail.  Then check that job off your to do list and take a little time to yourself to enjoy the holiday season.
