Hello Crafty Friends! I'm on the Pretty Pink Posh Blog today with a fun Christmas card featuring the adorable Gingerbread Holder Dies, Christmas Holder Additions Dies, Christmas Banner Greetings Stamp set, Banner Greetings 1 Dies, Candy Cane Stripes Stencil and the Holiday Gingerbread Clay Confetti.
I started by making my background using the Candy Cane Stripes Stencil and ink blending with Candied Apple Distress ink onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock. I took another piece of the Neenah Solar White cardstock and trimmed it using the second largest die from the Stitched Torn Rectangles Dies. I added a piece of craft foam to the backside of the white panel before I adhered it to the candy cane panel.
Next, I diecut all of the elements from the Gingerbread Holder Dies and Christmas Holder Additions Dies out of white and colored cardstock. I love that there are so many accessories available to decorate these gingerbread men. I added some color to the white parts of the hat and candy cane with Copic markers (C00, C1 and C3) for a little more realistic look. I assembled all of the parts with liquid glue and highlighted with a white gel pen. I trimmed off part of the legs in order for him to fit onto the white panel. He was adhered to the panel with foam tape for added dimension.
For the sentiment, I stamped the Merry Christmas sentiment from the Christmas Banner Greetings Stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a piece of white cardstock. I used the dies from the Banner Greetings 1 Dies to trim out the sentiment as well as an additional green banner. The banners were adhered to the panel with a combination of liquid glue and foam tape.
The panel was adhered to a white A2 cardbase (4.25" x 5.5"). I finished the card with a few peppermint candy from the new Holiday Gingerbread Clay Confetti and Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix.
I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my card. Have a wonderful and crafty day!
