Paper Sweeties December Inspiration Challenge #26-'Happy Holidays'

 

Hi there!
 
How are you?  I hope all is well in your crafting world!  This is my second post for the day.  Please scroll down to see my creation for Dies R Us.
 
Isn't that a wonderful inspiration photo with a sweet gingerbread?  I was inspired to get out my Paper Sweeties gingerbread stamps, which is from the stamp set Ho Ho Ho and coordinating dies Sweet Cuts- Ho Ho Ho. to make this card...
 
 
 
For my card, I started with a natural card base from MFT.  I added a Christmas bulb and sentiment from the stamp set Homespun Holidays and coordinating die Sweet Cuts-Homespun Holidays.  I used up several scraps of paper and sewed them together.  The rusty jingle bells and seam binding ribbon-green apple are also from Paper Sweeties.  Twine and buttons to finish off the card.
 
I hope you have some fun creating a card or project this month for the challenge for one lucky winner will be awarded a $20 gift certificate.  And, an invite to be guest designer for the following month!
 
Please follow the blog list below of my fellow teammates for some fabulous inspiration...have fun!
