Gingerbread Mummy

Hi Crafty Friends. Today I want to show you a cute way to use the Gingerbread Man die set from Stampin' Up! This is an adorable stamp and die set and I know that I will get a lot of use out of it for Christmas cards and treat packaging, but first I just had to make a mummy.

I started with a cut out Gingerbread man in Very Vanilla Cardstock and stamped a face on him. I sponged a bunch of scrap strips of Very Vanilla with Crumb Cake ink and glued them on top of the gingerbread man. Then I flipped the gingerbread man over and trimmed off all of the scraps sticking out past the die cut gingerbread man.

To make the banner I used the mini Alphabet dies. These dies are great for cards, scrapbook pages and more. The are unique in that they are on a larger die that cuts out multiple letters at once. You can go ahead and cut all the letters, or you can use strips of cardstock to cut out just the ones that you want. I do it both ways depending on how many letters I need. I store any unused letters in a case I found on Amazon so that I can use them on future projects.

I used the Stylish Shapes dies to make the banner. I cut out two of the long skinny banners and cut them in half. To attach the banner to the mummy, I found it easier to do it in three parts, a middle string piece and two separate bows at the ends, attached with glue dots. I then placed the banner pieces on top with Dimensionals.

I have a full length how to for this card on my YouTube channel with some tips and a few other Gingerbread Man samples. You can see it here:

I hope you like this project and will give it a try! You can see a full list of supplies below.

Jolly Holly Hybrid Embossing Folder

Hi Crafty Friends. Today I am using the Jolly Holly bundle. I really wanted to give the Hybrid Embossing folder a try. The embossing folder and coordinating dies can be used at the same time to cut out the main holly images. The holly doesn't completely detach from the cardstock, so you can fluff up the leaves to get a really nice 3D effect. You can also use the embossing folder without the die cut, or use it with the die cut but then detach the holly by just snipping the little piece that is attached to the cardstock and then use the holly on all sorts of projects.

The sentiments included in this set are really nice too. I like that there is a scripty version and a printed version of the Merry, Happy and Christmas so you can mix your fonts or use different colors.

I made my card almost like the one shown in the online store. I really like how the holly hugs the sentiment card. Every time I made a card, the holly landed slightly differently, so I just adjusted which holly leaves to bring in front and which to keep behind.

I made a quick video with some tips and tricks on how to use this bundle. You can see it here on my YouTube channel.

Here is the sample from the Online store. It looks so pretty in Cloud Cover, I wouldn't have thought to use that color.

Here is another example where they used the embossing folder without the die cuts. A water painter and ink was used to color in the holly leaves.

Supplies for my card can be found here:

A Little Cheer

Hello crafty friends! Today I want to share one of the cards that I will have available at Card Buffet next week. I used the A Little Cheer stamp set and punch bundle. I love a punch, they make crafting so simple and quick. The little holiday images are so cute and I can see many uses for them. They would be fun in a shaker card or the little images can be hung on the stamped line, or a real one, like garland. I just thought of those as I was typing up this post, and now I really want to go and make them!
