I wanted to play some more with the festive Gingerbread & Peppermint Paper in the Holiday Catalog and this Gingerbread & Peppermint Christmas Card is what turned out! I also wanted to try out that little decorative strip I put between the two patterns of paper. This is a pretty basic card design using designer papers and a greeting, maybe just fancied up a little bit with some diecuts.
The card base is Real Red Cardstock. I used the Gingerbread & Peppermint 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. These two patterns are actually on the same sheet, just opposite sides! If the diagonal striped piece looks dirty, it’s just the splattering on the paper. I don’t know why! I die cut that middle strip with the Gingerbread Dies. They are part of the Frosted Gingerbread Bundle, if you want both the stamp set and dies and want to save 10% buying them together! I just used teeny dots of Multipurpose Liquid Glue on that strip.
The greeting is stamped in Real Red Ink on Basic White. The stamp is in the Frosted Gingerbread Stamp Set. It is die-cut with a die in the Ornate Frames Dies as is the Real Red layer. To help it all stand out a little better, I layered the greeting on a larger Basic White Layering Circles Die. And for a little bling, I added three Red Rhinestone Jewels to the greeting.
It will soon be Christmas card time so check out the new Stampin’ Up! July-December 2021 Mini Catalog for all the new stamps, dies, embellishments, and ideas and start thinking about what you would like to make! Maybe you want to make several different designs of cards so you can have fun making different ones! That’s what I like to do! That way you can use different stamp sets and supplies and see what all you can come up with….and not get tired of making a whole bunch of the same card. Whatever you like!
