Season's Greetings

The following card was based on a sketch I came across while looking at different blogs. I can't find the original sketch but some sites I use often for sketches are http://cardpositioningsystems.blogspot.com/ and http://cleanandsimplestamping.blogspot.com/. Aside from the paper piecing, this card came together pretty easily.

Supplies Used: (D1380) Just for the Holidays stamp set, (X7130B) Mistletoe Level 2 paper pack, (Z2137) Olive stamp pad, (Z2116) Cranberry stamp pad, (Z578) Corner Rounder, Red ribbon, Nestabilities

Gingerbread House Thank You

I had seen many great examples by other CTMH consultants of using the Around the Block stamp set as a gingerbread house when this stamp set was first released, but I never tried it out until now. What a fun look! The striped paper from Mistletoe reminded me of peppermint so that's what I decided to use. At preschool, we've been reading Gingerbread Baby by Jan Brett and the kids had an enormous cardboard box decorated as a gingerbread house that they could play in. When they would go inside, they said that they were gingerbread babies! So cute! My students gave me a tote bag with their handprints and names on it, so naturally, I thought gingerbread house thank you cards would be perfect to send out to them.
