More Gingerbread Cookies

A couple of weeks ago I made a card using the CottageCutz ornament dies and Peachy Keen face stamps, dishing up a plate of gingerbread cookies.   After I made the card, I thought, "Wouldn't it be fun to have someone take a bite out of one of those cookies?"  Thus, the idea for today's card was born.



Supplies for this card:

Cream cardstock base (pre-cut) 10" x 6 1/2", folded in half
Green cardstock - 4 3/4" x 6 1/4"
Patterned paper - 4 5/8" x 6 1/8"
Kraft cardstock
Red cardstock (scraps)
Green cardstock (scraps)
Kraft-colored cardboard
White detail embossing powder
Versamark ink
Doily
White gel pen
Red craft paint and brush
Scallop Circle punch

Cut three of the smallest star ornaments and three of the smallest circle ornaments from Kraft cardstock; then cut six of each from the cardboard. 



Using the punch, cut out the "bite marks" from one Kraft circle and two cardboard circles -- ensuring that the punches are the same size.  Then "build" the cookies by gluing two cardboard pieces and one Kraft piece together.   After stamping and embossing the faces on each of the cookies, add some extra icing with a white gel pen.  Paint a touch of red on the candy canes.



Cut the holly leaves and sentiment.


Construct the card, leaving an open space on the doily to show that the cookie had originally been there.

Let's get started !!

Today I have a combination card and Christmas ornament for you.  Did you play with Shrinky Dinks when you were a kid?  I did.  And they have apparently had a comeback -- although now they're not necessarily called Shrinky Dinks.  The sheets are called Shrinkable Plastic.  Both my card and the ornament were made with the same stamp.  You can see how much the shrinkable plastic does indeed shrink when heat is applied.  I used my embossing heat gun and anchored the Santa by putting my piercing tool into the hole to keep it from moving all over the counter as I added the heat.  You have to make sure that, if you plan to have a hole in the top of the ornament, the hole needs to be punched before you add heat!



Here's the Design Team members celebrating Christmas in July.

This is my second project for the Christmas in July celebration.  I'm not sure I ever used Shrinky Dinks when I was a kid.  How did that happen? Better late than never, I always say!  I had a grand time playing with these Christmas ornaments.  As you can see I made FIVE of them.  However, I did have a little trouble photographing them.  When I did it inside, I got reflections from the lights; when I did it outside, I got reflections of the scenery.

Click on photo to see close-up.

I filled each of the ornaments with Flower Soft.

Thanks for stopping by again today.  Hope you'll be back tomorrow to see my glass blocks.  They were a challenge!
