Gingerbread with Heart

Hello!  I never did make a gingerbread house or cookie this Christmas but it's not to late to make a card with gingerbread so that is what I have to share today.  I stamped the Gingerbread couple on Kraft CS with versamark and heat embossed with GKD White EP.  Fussy cut the couple.  This stamp is an old rubber one from GKD.  Fussy cut the couple and popped up with foam on panel of  patterned Paper from the Snowy Day pad by Crate Paper found in my stash.  Stamped a sentiment from Mark's Finest Papers (no longer in business) with red ink and embossed with GKD Clear EP.  Attached to a red card base. To finish, I added several hearts in red and kraft that were leftovers from when I used a Fiskars border punch with hearts.

Snowflakes Falling

Hello! I have another card with snowflakes....prefer the paper ones to the wet, cold ones.  I used snowflake stamps and dies from Gina K Merry and Bright set with Versamark ink and White EP. The snowflakes were arranged on a White Glossy CS mat embossed with Darice Snowflake EF. Gina K sentiment from Joyful Holiday set was stamped with Memento Black ink on a strip matted with Powder Blue strip cut with border punch.  Assembled the card with Powder Blue base and mat of Black CS.  Inspired by the sketch below. Finished with pearls on the center of the flakes.
