Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
It's time to start on my Christmas card stash for this year.
I do enjoy making Christmas cards when I'm not in a rush.
I pulled out an older and well loved gingerbread boy stamp and die.
He was stamped on kraft cardstock with heat embossed "icing".
He's popped on an embossed snowflake and I thought it would be fun for him
to hold a candy cane.
While I had him out, I stamped and die cut another and added him to a snippet piece
of patterned paper.
This time I used my pinpoint snowflake plate for the background and
some tiny resin hearts for his buttons.
Challenges:
Peace on Earth #31 - I was inspired by the top left photo in the mood board. See that little gingerbread man with his candy cane?

So cute. Great start to your Christmas card stash for 2023. I have had fun staring my stash also. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
I so agree with you Bonnie - I am getting ready to start on my Christmas cards too. But first I want to get a little ahead on my birthday cards.
ReplyDeleteI don't Think we will ever have snow where we live but I could cook up some gingerbread. I love the look, smell and taste of gingerbread. When my grand kids were little, they would come to our house at Christmas and we would make gingerbread houses.
I also think every year that I want to make ginger bread houses and men for Christmas cards. Well you beat me to the draw!! Although I prefer the gingerbread man on the snow flake, I do love the red buttons on the second yummy guy. This is not nearly as messy as making the real gingerbread men and decorating them!
"Oh what fun it is to ride" love visiting your blog!

I love the fancy icing on your darling gingerbread men, Bonnie. And those resin hearts made perfect buttons. It's like when I use red hots on mine. Good for you for getting started on Christmas.
ReplyDeleteYummmmmmmm...and both SO CUTE too Bonnie! I'm working on my Christmas stash too as I waited too long last year...think I'd know better by now!! But anyway, both cards are absolutely ADORABLE!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteLove your gingerbread boy with his candy cane. Great layouts with the snowflake behind him on the first one and the festive scrap of dp on the second! Thanks so much for joining us at Peace on Earth!
ReplyDeleteThese are darling cards, I think the one with the bit of plaid is my fave, though both are fab.
ReplyDeleteI just adore this cute gingerbread boy and with the added candy cane, and then the holly and gold twine on the first and the green twine on the second and heart buttons are great embellishments, and the embossed star and the red and green pp strip and the pierced snowflake coverplate design on the second make fabulous backgrounds. It's a good idea to make some Christmas cards throughout the year to save the last minute rush. x
ReplyDeleteThis is not only cute it looks like a real gingerbread cookie with that icing! You always have a beautiful background for your artwork. Love this stamp and the way you used it on both cards.
ReplyDeleteTwo adorable additions to your 2023 stash! I like the big snowflake behind the first fella!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Reminiscent of days gone by and the feeling of grandma
ReplyDeleteTwo fun and festive yummy gingerbread Boys Christmas cards for your 2023 stash..Wow! What a great start on your stash:-) Loved your heat embossed frosting on your cookies too. TFS my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy
ReplyDeleteWhat creative use of the stamp Bonnie, and two fabulous cards as a result

I missed your butterfly card yesterday and I love it. A gorgeous embossing folder too on the card.
ReplyDeleteThis gingerbread man is adorable. Both cards are so cute and I am crazy about those resin heart buttons on the second one.
Oh goodness, these gingerbread cards are adorable Bonnie! I love that cutie pie and I am loving that candy cane and pierced background of the second card. Perfect Christmas cards to kick start the new stash! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteI love this beautiful white lace around the gingerbread man. The use of background embossing makes both cards so unique.

ReplyDeleteYour gingerbreadmen are adorable Bonnie. Such a cute image and adorable with the snowflake and patterned paper. xx
ReplyDeleteThis little gingerbread boy is so darn adorable, I can see why you love him :)
