Dawn, over at Papertrey Ink, has done some lovely cards using the frames from Boutique Borders, so our challenge this week is to create a square frame, using stamps. I've chosen the Boutique Borders:Birthday frame, stamped in dark chocolate ink, as well as PTI's Scentimentals stamps to make this card for my granddaughters. I was a bit disappointed with the "scratch and sniff" powder I made up--perhaps my ginger powder was just old, as there is almost no scent whatsoever. I even mixed in a bit of cinnamon.
I Case'd a card Nichole Heady made, back when this stamp set was introduced. The pine boughs are from Peaceful Pinecones, and the holly dies are from Holly Jolly, all PTI. I used Spellbinders squares behind the focal image, and popped the gingerbread man up on foam tape.
Thanks for looking!
What a lovely christmas card, Kathryn! Totally like the layout of your card, the gingerbread man lying on those pine needle branches - nice!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove your card! The little pine sprays in the background adds a lot to the wonderful black frame. Super cute!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute, love the traditional Christmas colors! Wish I had picked up the Scentimentals Stamp set when it first came out, may have to add it to my next order!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute card! Love all the layers and the splashes of green are perfect!
ReplyDeleteAh, so sweet! Very cute.
ReplyDeleteWell done! I watched the video, too! Isn't that a great idea to stretch our stamps? Sweet gingerbread person with green fronds in back - and love layers, too ♥
ReplyDeleteKathryn, this card is ADORABLE even if it doesn't smell like ginger. Great idea layering your frame and adding pops of color. Wonderful take on the challenge!
ReplyDeleteSo bright and cheery! Love that sweet gingerbread guy! Try PumpkinPie Spice next time. Worked well for me.
ReplyDeleteYou didn't need to scratch it, it was scented on it's own. BTW, that scallop makes it pop!
Absolutely love this gingerbread man card, Kathryn! Love that you added the pine boughs to the inside of that gorgeous frame.
ReplyDeleteThis is just adorable!!! I love the colors and gingerbread man and the holly dies are the perfect touch.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet card!
