CS170 – More than Autumn

Welcome to Create with Stamping Friends Creatively Simple Challenge!  Each month Debbie and I will pick a theme for our simple cards.  Our theme for December is Season’s Greetings!  Still time to make those Christmas cards!

MORE THAN AUTUMN

This card was fun and easy to make…hardest part was cutting out the six gingerbread men with the little Die!  lol!

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Real Red cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
• A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock was added on top.
• A 3 x 4 piece of red polka dot Take a Bow Designer Paper was added across the front with a coordinating 1-1/2 x 4 red stripe DSP added on top of it.
• The greeting from Sweetest Star stamp set, stamped in Real Red, was perfect for a “baking” card.
• The cookie sheet was cut with the large Something Fancy Die from Smoky Slate cardstock and the two ends bent upwards.  It was PERFECT, too!  It was added on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• Six little gingerbreads from the More Than Autumn stamp set were stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White, colored with Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends, and cut with the More Than Autumn Die.  They were added to the cookie sheet with Mini Glue Dots.
• Some Real Red & White Baker’s Twine was tied in a bow and added to the corner of the baking sheet.
• A few Real Red & White Adhesive Backed Peppermints were added to the background!
