HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!! 

I'm up for Day 17 of the Paper Sweeties 25 Days of Christmas Celebration!! FULL of AMAZING Inspiration and Surprise SALES!! You won't want to miss a Day of the Festivities!! 

For today's Projects I wanted to share my LOVE of ALL things White & Black Gingham this Holiday Season!! I can't explain it, but I LOVE it ALL and can't seem to get enough of it!! 

So Today I'm sharing a couple different Ideas on ways to use the Black &White Gingham Patterned Paper with the Sugar & Spice Sweet Cuts Die Set!! SWOON!! I LOVE how these turned out and it's HARD for me to pick a FAVORITE!! 

Which Design do you like best!!?? 

For my First Card I Die Cut the Sugar & Spice Gingerbread Man from the Black & White Gingham Patterned Paper!! Then I added it to my Kraft Card Panel that I Die Cut using a Stitched Rectangle Die!! I added some Candied Apple Distress Oxide Ink to the Background of the Kraft Cardstock to help make the Gingerbread Man POP against the Kraft Card Panel!! Then I added some Picket Fence and Black Soot Distress Oxid Ink Splatters for some Texture and some Tonic Studios Shimmer Pen Splatters for some Sparkle!! 

I Stamped and Embossed the Merry Christmas Sentiment from the Merry Christmas Ya'll Stamp Set!! I wanted to add some POPS of Red Deco Foil so I laminated some Therm O Web Fancy Foils by Gina K Designs in Radiant Red to a piece of Deco Foil Toner Sheets and then used the Spice Sweet Cuts Die Set to Die Cut the Bow!! I LOVE the BEAUTIFUL touch of Shine it adds to the Design!! I wanted to add some Holly Leaves to the Bow as well so I Stamped and Embossed the Holly Image from the Jingle All the Way Stamp Set and Colored it in using Copic Markers!! Then I used the coordinating Jingle All the Way Die Set to Die Cut the Holly Images out!! I added the Holly to the Leaves and then add a Strawberry Sequin to the center of the Bow!! I finished off the Design by adding some Nuvo Drops in Red Glitter to the center of the Sequin!! 

For my Second Card I created the EXACT same Design only this time I used White Cardstock for the Card Panel and I used Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink for the Background to make the Gingerbread Man POP!! 

Then I added add some of the NEW Therm O Web Glass Slipper Deco Foil to a piece of Deco Foil Toner Sheets and laminated it!! I used the Spice Sweet Cuts Die Set to Die Cut the Bow!! I LOVE the BEAUTIFUL touch of Shine it adds to the Design!! I wanted to add some Holly Leaves to the Bow as well so I Stamped and Embossed the Holly Image from the Jingle All the Way Stamp Set and Colored it in using Copic Markers!! Then I used the coordinating Jingle All the Way Die Set to Die Cut the Holly Images out!! I added the Holly to the Leaves and then add a Strawberry Sequin to the center of the Bow!! I finished off the Design by adding some Nuvo Drops in Red Glitter to the center of the Sequin!!

So there you have it, two different Color Combos, but the same overall Design!! Which one do you prefer!!??

Merry

I wanted to create a SWEET Shaker Card!! I thought it would be FUN to use some Plaid Patterned Paper for the Gingerbread Girl and then I added some Snowflakes, Gingerbread and Mini Hearts and Stars for the Shaker Elements!! I Stamped and Embossed the LOVE sentiment using some WoW Red Glitter Embossing Powder!! I also Created a WoW Red Glitter Embossed Bow and Die Cut some Felt Leaves and finished it off with a Mini Jingle Bell!! I Die Cut a Scalloped Rectangle from some Chalkboard Patterned Paper and then adhered it all to a Gina K Designs Silver Metallic A2 Cardbase!! This Card makes me think of my late Mother-In-Law she LOVED Gingerbread Men and she would have ADORED receiving this for the Holidays!!

Gingerbread Shaker Card w/ Paper Sweeties!! =)

Pin It


HELLO!!
I'm up on the Paper Sweeties Blog today sharing a SWEET Shaker Card using the Gingerbread Cluster from the Basket Add On: Baked with Love Stamp Set and the Large Gingerbread from the Sugar & Spice Stamp Set and then I used the Coordinating Sugar & Spice Sweet Cuts Die Set to Die Cut the Large Ginerbread Men and the Holly was Die Cut from the Holly Days Sweet Cuts Die Set and the Tag from the Beautiful Little Wishes Sweet Cuts Die Set the Sentiment was Stamped from the Mason Jar Stamp Set!!
I just LOVE LOVE LOVE these SWEET Gingerbread Men all together and thought they'd make the Sweetest Shaker Card along with these Mini Gingerbread Sequins from American Crafts!!

SQUEAL!! How Sweet are these together!!?? I used some older Pattern Papers from    and I LOVE the way they compliment this SWEET Design!! I Die Cut the Card Base using a Stitched Die and then added the two patterns together!! I Die Cut the Large Gingerbread Image from the Center of my Card and then backed it with some Acetate!! I also Die Cut some Fun Foam and then before adhering everything together I Stamped and Embossed the Large Gingerbread Image onto the Card Backing!! Then I added the Bow too just to add a PoP of Color!! Then I Stamped and Embossed the Gingerbread Men Cluster and Watercolored them using some Distress Inks!! I added some Foam Tape and added them to the Top of the Acetate Window!! I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment and the Hearts onto a Tag that was Die Cut and then added some Felt Holly Leaves that I Die Cut, a Ribbon, a Button and my Card was Done!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way it turned out!!

I also made a SWEET Tag to go along with my Card!! I used the Die Cut Gingerbread Man that was Left over from the Card Front and then I Stamped and Embossed the Gingerbread Man onto some Kraft Cardstock and Die Cut it out using the Coordinating Die!! I also Stamped and Embossed the Bow onto some Lawn Fawn Plaid Patterned Paper and then I Die Cut it out!! I Glued the two together and added the Tag Hole to the top of the Tag and added the Twine!!

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by today and I hope you'll visit EVERYDAY for more AMAZING INSPIRATION from the Rest of the Design Team and the Guest Designers!!
