Hello Stampers,
Welcome to the blog hop for the Canada Inks Up Team – we are so happy to hop along with you today.
Every Sunday my Border Buddy, Patsy Waggoner from the US, and I share a card using one of our exclusive sketches. Here's the sketch I used to create a few cards using the Gingerbread & Peppermint Suite Collection.
I love the Gingerbread & Peppermint Suite Collection featured in the upcoming (August 3) July – December 2021 Mini Catalogue. I'm featuring this suite in my Catalogue Launch Party on August 21 (scroll down to read more about it).
When you purchase the Frosted Gingerbread Stamp Set & Gingerbread Dies together you save 10%. The ribbon is also from the suite and has a lovely ruffled edge. I embossed the label using the Wintry 3D Embossing Folder from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue. The colour palette is a traditional Christmas combination – Real Red and Old Olive.
The Gingerbread & Peppermint 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper offers 4 each of 12 double-side designs which offer so many choices for your projects. Some of the printed images can be cut out using the matching dies – so easy and no fussy cutting.
In card #1 I used the snowflake die, in Card #2 and #3 I used the printed pieces from the Designer Series Paper. I used the Silver Foil sheets to give the illusion of a cookie sheet. Which is your favourite?
I shared how I made these cards in my weekly Facebook Live which I upload to YouTube. Here's the recording of the live with some tips. Join me on my Facebook Page – Stamp Crazy with Alison! – every Sunday at 10 am PT for another Sunday Sketch Live.
Please hop around to the other members of my Canada Inks Up! team for even more ideas and inspiration.
