Isn't she a cutie with her white piping and red glittery bow?! I used a SSS die called Gingerbread Man that I've had for over a year and is making its first debut today. (I think this would be cute using felt and stitching it up too!) I made this into another book binding fold card where my 4 1/4" x 11" piece of cardstock is scored in half at 5 1/2" and then scored again 1 1/4" away from the 5 1/2" score line. For this card I also trimmed off a 1/2" from the front edge so that you could see the coordinating dsp that's on the inside edge. All the dsp on this card is from an older pack from SU! called Candy Cane Lane.
I matted all my dsp with Real Red cs and also added a Crimped Circle die cut (The Greetery) in the Real Red cs to place behind my gingerbread girl. I used PTI's Tiny Tags dies for the tiny circle tag that I embossed in white for my sentiment. A little sheer ribbon over the book binding edge and a few peppermint candy gems finished off this sweet card.
Lots of fabulous inspiration from the DT that you can check out right HERE. I must say CONGRATULATIONS again to Darlene & Diane (owners of the Peace on Earth Challenge) on this 100th challenge...I sure have enjoyed playing along over the past years! This challenge is open till Thursday, Dec. 4th @ 8:00PM.

She is darling and that sparklie red bow is the perfect topper.
ReplyDeleteShe is so cute with her glittery red bow and the papers are perfect with her. Love the book-binding fold technique.
ReplyDeleteAwww, she's a cutie and I love her sparkly red bow! I think I could pick those peppermint candies right off and eat them. Love the paper, the fold, the twine, the cute little tag. Your darling card is a perfect example of why I find this craft so fun! Happy holidays, Marcia!
ReplyDeleteThis is so much fun, Marcia. I love that background paper, and your gingerbread girl looks so great on that lovely red plate, and I love her sparkly red bow, the candy canes and that tiny tag too. So much to love in this creation! I want to try that book binding fold. You work wonders with it!
