Gingerbread For You – Tina Newberry Designs

Such a cute little gingerbread boy! Sadly the dies that coordinate with the retiring Sending Cheer Stamp Set, have sold out, but don’t let that stop you from getting this adorable set. All of the shapes are easy to cut with your scissors. Get this before it’s gone for good.

This holiday season, make your own gift tags and cards with the Sending Cheer Stamp Set. Stamp an image, then punch or die cut it and you have a tag—it’s quick and easy! But quick and easy doesn’t mean boring. Stamp a gift image in one color, then stamp a bow image on it in a bright ink for fun contrast. Or stamp a stack of stocking images and top each with a different color cuff. And don’t forget cards! Just imagine how festive these images will look on handmade cards.

Let’s Create

Affix all stamps to Acrylic Blocks.
Fold the Card Base in half using a Bone Folder to sharpen the crease.
Using Crumb Cake ink, stamp the Gingerbread Boy towards the top of the 3 ¼” x 2” piece of Basic White. Using Black Memento stamp the face onto the Gingerbread Boy, and using Cherry Cobbler ink, stamp the hearts onto the Gingerbread Boy.
Using Shaded Spruce ink pad, stamp the holly leaves onto the 1 ½” x 1 ½”. Using the Cherry Cobbler ink pad, stamp the holly berries. Die cut these pieces using the coordinating dies from the Sending Cheer die set.
Using the 2” x 2” and the gift bow die from the Sending Cheer die set, cut the bow out. You’ll need to cut the bow apart from the ribbon.
Attach the bow to the Gingerbread Boy.
Using Black Memento stamp the sentiment toward the bottom right of the Basic White stamped piece.
Adhere the holly leaves and berries to the right of the sentiment.
Using a piece of Gold & Vanilla Satin Edged Ribbon, tie a bow toward the right side of the Shaded Spruce Designer Series Paper.
Assembling the card: Adhere the Cherry Cobbler 5 ⅜” x 4 ⅛” cardstock to the folded card base.
Adhere the 5 ¼” x 4” piece of Designer Series Paper to the card. Adhere the Shaded Spruce Designer Series Paper toward the lower edge of the card leaving about ½” at the bottom.
Using Dimensionals, adhere the Gingerbread Boy Panel to the card off centered toward the right just a bit.
Add a touch of Wink of Stella to the bow and the holly leaves and berries.
Place an Adhesive Backed Glitter Sequin to the center of the bow.
Be sure to decorate the inside of the card as well as the envelope before sending off to someone special!
