As soon as I saw the Christmas pad my heart went straight to these gorgeous gingerbread men – and then was so happy when they also appeared in the acetate kit.
So I made these two cards showing them both off and how well they work together too!
I used the paper for the background and a mat layer with a solid colour from the pad and then some small strips for the horizontal elements.
On this one I chose to use the paper with the bigger gingerbread design and then used foam adhesive to pop the gingerbread man up.
As the acetate is slightly see through I could see the brown adhesive foam through – and so I added a second acetate on the top and that did the job! I added some waxed thread and then a foiled sentiment which I used the solid paper to base it on.
This second one I used the smaller design and distressed the edges. I love exposing the white core in the Kingston papers and also the texture that this adds.
I added the two gingerbread men straight into the card this time – again I added the twine as a bow and then the foiled and die cut sentiments.
Really cute, albeit quite simple cards – I love those cute gingerbread peeps!
And both these cards got shown on the tv show on the 7th September – so they are super famous! 🤣
Happy crafting!
