Gingerbread Couple

Hi everyone - it's been a while since I joined Darnell and her IDEAS program (see her beautiful cards HERE) so I thought I'd jump into D is for Dies this week. And the designers are celebrating National Gingerbread Cookie Day over at Day of the Month Card Club Challenge #69 so I got out a die set to play along. Thought it was past time to use a darling Spellbinders set I bought last year but hadn't even opened yet. 

Here's my gingerbread couple:

Supplies: Paper - Taylored Expressions Hot Fudge & Latte;

BoBunny Snowfall Collection 6x6"; vellum;

scraps of blue and glitter paper, plus pink for the cheeks; 

Spellbinders Betterpress Pebble

Dies - Spellbinders Dancin Gingerbread;

AJVD Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set;

My Favorite Things Stitched Oval Scallop Frames (retired)

Press Plate w/die - Spellbinders Merry & Bright Sentiment Strips; 

Other - Spellbinders Betterpress Thunder ink

I die cut a rectangle from a BoBunny patterned paper pad & added to an A2 card formed from Latte cardstock. I die cut the gingerpeople from the same Latte. Their frosting and clothes were die cut from scraps. I adhered scraps of Hot Fudge cardstock behind the faces and inlaid the peachy cheeks, die cut from scraps. Assembled the gingerpeople.

Next I die cut a piece of vellum using a scalloped oval frame. What's left is a zig-zag edged oval which I used as my cookie platter. Added this to the card then popped the gingerpeople atop it. A Betterpressed sentiment finished the card.

I'll also add my card to Merry Little Christmas Challenge #59 where Anything Goes & to Darnell's November NBUS Challenge #68 since my gingerbread set is newly used.

That's all for now. Thanks for stopping by & have a crafty day!!
