Just a quick post today, there is so much going on in my household and in between coming and going I got a little crafty. This idea came to me last night before going to sleep, I love when that happens because I look forward all day to putting the card together. Love when the idea looks as good in my real hands as it does in my imagination. Hope you think so too!
I just love how those wavy lines from the Tasteful Trim Die look with the cute gingerbread from the Scentsational Christmas set. All I needed to do for this quick card was to stamp the sentiment from the Chock Full of Cheer set, and wrap it all up with a big taffeta bow.
Today I made a double bow. I like making a large bow and securing it with twine. Then I place the smaller bow on top and thread more twine through the button, ending with a twine bow on top. It's so easy and makes a big impact.
I'd be so happy to receive your comments or answer any questions you have about today's project. Please stop by and say Hi, won't you?
I am in LOVE with that bow! Wowzers! I can't wait to get my gingerbread man; I just got a shipping notice. :)

I just love this card and those gingerbread men are toooo cute! I am guessing they are in the holiday mini coming in August for which I must wait because I'm not a demonstrator.

These gingerbread men are adorable! I didn't realize the Tasteful Trim rick rack was that large! I also "see cards" in my brain just as I hit the pillow! You're sure to win the Artisan Award as you've never posted nothing but fantastic projects!

Hi Cindy,
Just love your current card using the chock full of cheer set. I adore using crumb cake, it is such a great neutral. I'm hoping the new mitten punch can be used with this set. I took a chance and purchased it with my pre-order for the Holiday Catty. Thanks for inspiring me. Judi R/ Demo in Michigan
