The Gingerbread & Peppermint Designer Paper has so many fun designs besides the gingerbread images! As it turned out, I had already used this pattern of the paper on another card earlier on, but since I love red, it was a natural draw for me to use it on this Gingerbread & Peppermint Ornament Trio Card.
The card base is Real Red, one of the coordinating colors of the Gingerbread & Peppermint 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. After I got the idea to use the three ornaments, die-cut from the paper with the Gingerbread Dies, I thought they needed a white background to help them stand out from the red and white paper. I happened to find this die-cut from the Scalloped Contours Dies so I just used that. Since I was using that, I tipped the side ornaments in so they would fit better on that small background piece of Basic White.
The middle red ornament is glued straight on the card front, with the side ornaments popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals®. I also tied small white bows with the Whisper White 1/4″ Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon to put on each ornament. And then I had to add some Rhinestone Basic Jewels to each ornament in the center!
For the greeting, I used a sentiment in the Frosted Gingerbread Stamp Set. I wanted something small and simple since the rest of the card is pretty busy. I stamped the greeting on Basic White cardstock with Real Red Ink and then die cut it with a small Stitched Rectangle Die. I didn’t even layer it on anything, I just wanted it to be simple.
This Frosted Gingerbread Bundle (stamp set and dies) will be on the Last Chance List tomorrow along with the designer paper, so check out the promotion tomorrow, December 1st in the Online Store!
