Christmas with a crunch!

Hello, crafting friends!

Today I'm showing you one of the cards I made but couldn't share until it had arrived. This one was made for my daughter and her partner and I'm happy to say it made them smile!


Aren't these the cutest gingerbread people? They're from Mama Elephant and I just couldn't resist them! I made a background on the card base with my Gingham byackground stamp by Kaisercraft, adding some fade out stencilling using the Knitted stencil from Funky Fossil.


The plate of gingerbread people and the separate biscuits were stamped in light brown ink, coloured with alcohol markers and fussy cut. I glued the plate to the card and popped the little gingerbread people up on dimensionals.


The card was finished with a sentiment made from two stamps in Stampin' Up's Merry Christmas to All. I am increasingly drawn to sentiment sets that enable me to mix and match words and fonts :)

AND IN OTHER NEWS
We've been talking about Christmas advertisements in our family. OH mentioned there had been a lot of CGI adverts recently and I said I thought that they were a very successful way for companies to get the attention of families. Kevin the Carrot was one of the most successful campaigns for one of the supermarkets, I added, and the company even got to sell merchandise every year on the back of it. "Kevin the Carrot," said OH. "Is that a CGI ad?" We all stared at him. " Oh no," said my daughter with a deadpan expression, "I think they hired an actual carrot for that one!"

Sending hugs,
