The stamping retreat from a few weeks ago may have been cut short due to the hurricane, but we were still able to share some awesome projects. I have changed up a little of one of them to share with you.
Stamp Bundle
This sweet bundle is appropriately named! It is the Sweetest Star Bundle. Plus it is a Punch bundle, these are my favorite kind. In addition to the gingerbread star, there are also Mr. and Mrs Claus stars. The card from the retreat that I cased, had the gingerbread stamped and White embossed. The designs really stood out. I wanted to see how a simpler version would do as I have quite a lot of customers who are not big fans of heat embossing.
My gingerbread man is stamped with Real Red Ink on Crumb Cake cardstock. I wanted a “soft and chewy” cookie. LOL!! By using a White Gel Pen I could color inside the outlines to make the frosting. Additionally the Sweet Wishes stamp is included in the set. It is stamped in Real Red Ink as well. The end of the strip of paper is flagged with Paper Snips for a fun cookie look.
Papers
The two different pieces of DSP are both from the Snowy Scenes Designer Series Paper. I love the soft peach snowflake piece. It is beautiful and different. And the candy cane piece is perfect for a cookie card. Both of these are layered on Real Red cardstock. I chose Crumb Cake as the card base when I chose it for the cookie. The only additional touch of White is the sentiment, and the inside layer of course.
Finishes
To compliment the busy DSP papers I kept the finishes simple. The added Real Red & White Bakers Twine made an adorable little bow for the gingerbread cookie. And a single addition of a red & white peppermint at the tip of the sentiment highlights it and the peppermint.
Measurements
- Card base is Crumb Cake 4 1/4 X 11
- Real Red layer is 3 3/4 X 5, and the candy cane Real Red layer is 1 1/2 X 4 1/2
- The snowflake DSP is 3 5/8 X 4 7/8
- The candy cane DSP is 1 3/8 X 4 3/8
