I love everything that is associated with Gingerbread. I collect them. I started off by stamping the Merry Christmas right onto the brown CTMH c/s with Black Stazon. I colored the letters in with a brown marker and dabbed off the access ink. I colored the hollies and berries with red and green sharpies. I went back over everything individualy with two way glue, clear embossing powder, and my heat gun to give it the shiny look.
I also stamped the Gingerbread House with Black Stazon onto brown CTMH c/s. I traced, colored the lollipops and striped candies with red and green sharpies. I used various colored sharpies for the gumdrops. I went back over each candy with two way glue, clear embossing power, and heat gun for the shiny look. I cut and glued the house onto the brown c/s. I was running out of Liquid Applique, and I had this stuff called Snow Writer in my craft bin. So, I used it for the icing on the house. I then added a little glitter to it. Let dry for 5 minutes. I colored the house with a brown marker and dabbed the access ink off.
I also stamped the gingerbread man using the same technique as the house. But, I used Liquid Applique for the arms and legs. I punched 2 small holes using a hole punch and tied a ribbon in the corner. This is a very light embossing using two way glue, clear embossing powder, and heat gun. I'm not sure if you can see it in the picture. I really loved making this card. I hope you like it.
