I thought this Cookie Cutter Christmas Gingerbread Man Card would be appropriate today since it is just four months until Christmas! We better get busy making our cards and projects! Hard to believe, isn’t it, especially while it is still nearly 100 degrees outside here in Houston.
I thought I would just use a set from last year, which is in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. It’s the Cookie Cutter Christmas Stamp Set and has the coordinating Cookie Cutter Builder Punch. The green print paper is new in the Holiday Catalog, though, the All Is Bright Designer Series Paper. One side of the paper has those photographic images, really pretty! The card base is Crumb Cake. The red designer paper is just the background for the card for the photo, not part of the card although I originally planned to use half green and half red. The red ribbon on this card is retired, but I have the new stuff on the way (I think!).
Of course, I also used the Big Shot and the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies for the background of the gingerbread man. And then the scalloped dies in the Layering Circle Framelits Dies are always nice to finish off the Stitched Shapes Dies as a layer.
I had planned to put the Gingerbread Man and circle over to the right side of the card, but somehow I put him in the center and thought that was just right!
The Cookie Cutter Christmas Stamp Set was a fun one last year and can be used even for baby cards with the bear! Here are some bear Christmas cards I made last year.
