Christmas in July - Part 2 of 3 Gingerbread & Peppermint

 Welcome back for more Christmas in July!!  I must have Christmas cookies on the brain!

This is a sneak peak at some of the new Christmas products being offered starting August 3rd.

I can't stop making Christmas cards with yummies as the theme!

These cards are made from the new Gingerbread & Peppermint 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper.

This is such a fun pack to mix and match, the possibilities are endless!

The first card uses the new Frosted Gingerbread Bundle, the Scalloped Contours Dies along with a scalloped square die from the Layering Square dies.

• Basic Card Base - Cinnamon Cider Cardstock 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" and folded in half
• The largest of the Scalloped Contours Dies in Basic White Cardstock
•  One of the cute prints from the Gingerbread & Peppermint DSP pack - cut to  3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
• I added a strip of White Glittered Organdy Ribbon across the base of the DSP before I adhered it
• A Basic White Cardstock scalloped square from the Layering Square Dies
• The gingerbread snowflake cut with the Gingerbread Dies and popped up with Dimensionals
• The sentiment is done with White Embossing powder and just cut to approx. 2 3/8" X 5/8"
• I added a bow with the same white glittery ribbon using a glue dot
• I brushed the cookie snow flake with Wink of Stella to give it a shimmery look

This next card uses the same Gingerbread & Peppermint DSP pack where I mixed and matched all of the fun patterns!

• Card base is Basic Red Cardstock 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" and folded in half
• Cut 1 1/4" X 5 1/2" strip off of the front of the card base down the right side
• Plaid DSP Layer on front is 2 3/4"  X 5 1/4"
• Polk- a-dot DSP layer on inside back is 1 1/4" X 5 1/4"
• Scalloped rectangle in Basic White is from the Scalloped Contour Dies 
• the stripe DSP is 2 3/4" X 4" 
• Just make sure you do not put glue on the side of the back of the white rectangle that hangs over your card base!!
• Cookies and Peppermints are cut from the DSP with the Gingerbread Dies- I popped put the cookies with Dimensionals
• The sentiment is from the new Classic Cloche stamp set done with White Embossing Powder on Basic Red card stock and I clipped the ends for a banner look

This last card uses the Jar Punch and Mason Jar Shaker Domes that are in the Annual Catalog and the same pack of Gingerbread & Peppermint DSP pack to make a cute shaker card.

• Card base is Basic Red Cardstock 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" and folded in half
• the diagonal stripe DSP is 4" x 5 1/4"
• The back of my jar is a piece of Smokey Slate cardstock approx 2" X 3" stamped with the jar from the Jar of Flowers stamp set with black ink.
• I cut 5 small and 4 medium white base and red peppermint swirls from cardstock with the Gingerbread dies and glued the pieces together to make my peppermints. 
•  I glued 3 down to the stamped jar and left the rest loose - piling them up in the middle of the jar while I pealed of the layer to expose the tape on the Mason Jar Shaker Dome - then stuck the dome over the top of all of the peppermints- lining up the edges of the dome with the stamped image of the jar. 
• I added a piece of the red stitched ribbon from Playful Pets Trim Combo Pack across the rim of the jar  -The shaker dome has a sticky layer on the top side as well - so I pulled off the layer to expose the sticky -and stuck it down.  
• The peppermint swirled DSP is cut from the Scalloped Contour Dies then punched with the Jar Punc   and placed the DSP over and around the jar - hiding all of the grey around the edges - You may need to trim those back before you stick your DSP down for good.
• The sentiment is cut from Basic Red with the Ornate Frames Die and embossed with White Embossing Powder and popped it up with Dimensionals.
• I tied a bow with the ribbon and attached it with a glue dot onto the ribbon going around the jar top
