During my Facebook Live yesterday I made a gift box using the Gingerbread & Peppermint emories & More Card Pack.

I have been looking for some Christmas gingerbreads over the past couple of weeks and found a container of white and green iced gingerbread Christmas trees on Wednesday – perfect timing for my Thursday Facebook Live.

I started by making a 3″x 2-1/2″ box base using Cinnamon Cider card stock. Then I adhered the 4″x 3″ “Sugar and Spice” Memories & More card to the front.

The other three sides of the box were covered with the same iced gingerbread looking panels that were trimmed down to fit each side.

The gift tag was made by trimming down the “It’s beginning to taste a lot like Christmas” card to 3-3/4″x 2″. A piece of Basic White card stock was cut down to the same size and was stamped with the “to” and “from” from the Delivering Cheer Stamp Set.

These two pieces were then glued on either side of the black cooling rack. I punched a small hole in the top so that it could have the Real Red ribbon threaded through it.

I used tongs to transfer some of the gingerbread Christmas trees into one of the food safe Love, Santa Treat Bags. The bag was tied off with a length of Real Red Mini Ruffled Ribbon.

The Treat Bags have four designs – Christmas trees, spots, plaid and leaves. The Christmas tree bag was perfect for this project.

There are 12 bags in each package – three each of the four designs.

The Gingerbread & Pepperming Memoreis & More Cards have so many great inclusions. I absolutley love the cooling racks, oven gloves and spatulas. They are so cute.

I have enough gingerbread trees left to make a couple more gift boxes. These will make a great Christmas gift for teachers or neighbours or … What do you think? Who would you give this to?

Until next time, happy stamping.

It is Wednesday and it’s time for a Freshly Brewed Project Blog Hop. This week’s theme is Halloween.

Just like my pumpkin themed card yesterday I didn’t think that I had a stamp set that I could use. That was until I found the Banner Year Stamp Set.

I also had one of my lovely Coffee & Card ladies recently say that one of the stampes from the Sweet Ice Cream Stamp Set reminded her of a ghost – so I combined the two for this card.

I started by choosing the colours for the card – Basic Gray, Basic White, Smoky Slate and Black.

The ‘ghosts’ were stamped using Smoky Slate that I stamped off first. Then I fussy cut the ghost and brushed it with Clear Wink of Stella.

For the background panel I stamped the cobweb image from the Banner Year Stamp Set using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. The ‘boo’ was stamped using Basic Gray ink.

The bats were stamped in black and, once dry, painted with Clear Wink of Stella.

Before adding the bats and ghosts to the stamped layer I wrapped and tied some Metallic Mesh Ribbon around it. The ghosts and bats were then added using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

To finish the ghosts I added some Matte Black Dots.

Then I stamped and trimmed down the ‘happy haunting’ greeting before using Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop it up.

I stamped the same greeting and bats on the card insert. The bats were also added to the envelope.

For someone who “doesn’t do Halloween” I am really happy with the way this card turned out. What do you think?

Make sure you pop by and see what the rest of the Freshly Brewed Project Team have created.
