The hustle and bustle of the season has begun!   The new December products are now available in the shop!  Debbie has designed a gorgeous tree with all the trimmings and a sweet adorable gingerbread as seen above!  And, below you will see what projects I created! And, here is my first project...

 

 

For my shaker card, I used the *new*  Sweet Cuts-Sugar and Spice for the gingerbread, which include all the pieces for the gingerbread and chevron border.  The sentiment is from the *new* Sugar and Spice.  The little gingerbread men are from the set Have a Holly Jolly Holiday.  The *new* sequin mix is Mistletoe.



My second project is a sparkle and shine card...

For my card I used the *new* Merry and Bright stamp set for the tree, which also includes the lights, garland, and sentiment.  The tree and bulbs were die cut using Sweet Cuts-Merry and Bright.  The bow is from the stamp set Holly Days and die cut using  Sweet Cuts-Holly Days,  The snowflakes are from the set Homemade with Love and die cut using Sweet Cuts-Homemade with Love.  The gift are from the set Trim the Tree.  And the snow was made using the die cut Sweet Cuts-Thanks Snow Much.  It's difficult to see but I placed a sequin- Snowflakes over the die cut snowflakes.  I made a French knot and then applied glitter for dimension.

My third project is using the *new* gingerbread again.  Mr. Ginger was my first project.  Well, he has been quite busy and has since gotten married.  And, Mr. and Mrs. Ginger now have twins...hehehe!

For my card, I used the *new* Sugar and Spice stamp set for the large gingerbreads and die cut them using Sweet Cuts-Sugar and Spice.  The small gingerbreads are from the set Ho Ho Ho.  The twine(Green Apple) is also from Paper Sweeties.

I have one final project to show you, which used the *new* gingerbread and tree along with many previously released sets.  And, here it is...

 

I used a memory tray for my Christmas project.  Lots of Paper Sweeties goodies!  A list of the products can be seen below.  A couple more views of the tray...

 



The clothes pin on the small gingerbread will be used to place on the numbered day of the Christmas countdown.  Lots of work for the memory tray, but it has lots of my favorite Paper Sweeties goodies on it! :-)
