Pretty Pink Posh: Box of Gingerbread Friends Cookies

Hello Crafty Friends! Today I'm sharing a fun Christmas card featuring these adorable Gingerbread Friends all wrapped up in a box of calorie-free Christmas cookies. 

I stamped the gingerbread images from the Gingerbread Friends Stamp set repeatedly onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock (4.25" x 5.5") with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored the images with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen. I adhered a few of the Holiday Gingerbread Clay Confetti with liquid glue.

COPIC COLORS:

Gingerbread men: E51/53/33/99, R20, R24/29

Hats: R22/24/29/39, C00/1

To create the outer box, I used the second largest die from the Wonky Stitched Rectangles Dies to diecut a window in the center of a piece of pink cardstock (4.25" x 5.5"). I adhered a piece of clear acetate to the back side of the pink panel.  

Next, I used the dies from the new Christmas Bell Shaker Dies to diecut two bows and several pine branches out of red and green cardstock. I also used the Simple Strips Dies to diecut two pieces of ribbon out of red cardstock. I adhered the ribbons at an angle and the pine branches on top of the ribbon in the upper left corner. The two bows were adhered to each other a little of centered to create a larger bow and then adhered to the top of the pine branches. I added one of the peppermint clay pieces from the Holiday Gingerbread Clay Confetti to the center of the bow. 

For the sentiment, I stamped the "Have a Sweet Christmas" sentiment from the Gingerbread Friends Stamp set onto a piece of white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the Gingerbread Friends Coordinating Dies to diecut it out. The sentiment was adhered to the panel with foam tape for a bit of dimension. 

Finally, I adhered the pink panel to the top of the colored gingerbread panel with foam tape to mimic the look of a box of cookies. The panel was then adhered to a white A2 card base (4.25" x 5.5").
