A group of us got together over the weekend to make the Tin of Tags project and had a great time each making 30 tags. Julia showed me some cards she’d made with the Cookie Cutter Christmas set and shared that she was having issues getting the gingerbread man to stamp properly. I brought it home with me to use it with a pierce mat – it gives cushion that photopolymer stamps don’t have – and after first stamping with versamark and then crumb cake ink, got a perfect image. I didn’t want to waste it, so here’s my gingerbread man card.
I picked the colours from the Global Design Project forgetting that their new challenges start on Mondays so I’ve missed the deadline. Still, I’m grateful to them for the combination. The early espresso sentiment comes from Christmas Pines and of course the hat was punched out of real red with the jolly hat builder punch and set at a jaunty angle on my gingerbread man. His buttons are from the brights enamel shapes collection.
To make it so that the early espresso looks as if it belongs, I added an early espresso mat and to make the real red less of an accent, added a real red card base. I’m really pleased with this card and happy that I had to check out the stamp!
Don’t forget the great close out sale currently going on and also the offer from me – a new, free stamp set. Just spend $40 with me and use the workshop code CBUJ4GTP, and you get to select one of Hey, Chick, Delicate Details or Designer Tee which I’ll send you for free once I close out this workshop on January 3rd. Check here for the details and also pictures of these stamp sets. If you spend $60, I’ll send you the pearl or rhinestone basic jewels as well. Email me at lizbaileycards@gmail.com to let me know which of the sets you’d like and whether you’d like pearls or rhinestones (if you’ve earned them), or I’ll just select one at random.
I hope you enjoyed today’s project. Please use the hostess code to get free product; the current one is CBUJ4GTP (if your order is over $150, don’t use the code, you get the rewards, but you still get the free gift from me).
