Yes It's A Holiday Collab | National Gingerbread Cookie Day | KCS Designs by Kim DT Project

-


Hello everyone, and welcome to a new Yes It's A Holiday or Yes, It Is A Holiday collab with my Instagram buddies - Debra and Lori.  Today, November 21st, we are helping to celebrate National Gingerbread Cookie Day, which encourages us to make a batch of gingerbread cookie dough, grab some gingerbread cookie cutters, and make some fun cookies.

Below is a video on how I made the card on my YouTube Channel.


To help celebrate, I made a that embraces gingerbread cookies, Christmas, and coffee, since they all go perfectly together.  All the digital printables I used to make this card are from KCS Designs by Kim on Etsy

  • I made a top-folding A2 card using red cardstock.  
  • I printed one of the designs from the Brew and Blend Craft Papers.  I chose the design with the coffee cup rings.  
  • I then die-cut a portion of the print using a 4" x 5.25" stitched rectangle die, distressed the edges with Vintage Photo distress ink, adhered a piece of fun foam to the back, and then to the card front.  
  • I printed and die-cut a piece of another design from the Brew & Blend Craft Papers, layered it on a piece of the red cardstock, trimmed it, and adhered it to the right side of the card front.  
  • I printed 2 of the gingerbread cookies from the Christmas Clip Art, fussy-cut them, added pearl and red dimensional paint (like Nuvo) to the icing and buttons, and let them fully dry.    
  • Once dry, I adhered them to the card front with foam squares, adhered the "Tis the Season" sentiment from Christmas Word Snippets, and a piece of white cardstock, 4" x 5.25", to the inside for a message.   

I hope you have enjoyed this card idea.  Now, head over to our Instagram pages and check out what Debra and Lori have made.  Our Instagram links are all below. 


Thanks for stopping by my blog today.  Until next time...

Hugs from Brasil.

QKR Stampede Anything Goes Challenge | Slimline Happy Easter Card

  Hello everyone!  It's the 15th of the month and that means that there is a new "Anything Goes" card challenge over on the  QKR Stampede Challenge Blog .   Since Easter is fast approaching I decided to make an Easter card and fell in love with the Happy Easter with Bouquet Digital Stamp .  I knew this would make a beautiful slimline Easter card.   I printed the Happy Easter with Bouquet digital stamp - twice - on a sheet of white cardstock and colored one of them using some GRAF Duo alcohol markers and the Key Lime ultra fine-tip maker from BIC.    Next, I die-cut it using the smaller stitched slimline die from the Slim Stitched Rectangle Die Set from Pink Fresh Studio. Next, I made my card base, 3.5" x 8.5", using a sheet of dark pink/hot pink cardstock to which I adhered a piece of "Easterish" paper to the front and a piece of white cardstock to the inside for a message.   I also layered my Happy Easter on a piece of the sa...

Introducing Bella Bulb - A Member Of Craft Hoarder's Anonymous

When I was first approached to be part of the StencilGirl/Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge blog hop, I just laughed out loud!  Me?  A craft hoarder?  Duh!  Not only have I been hoarding craft supplies for over 20 years but when I moved here to Brasil from New York City, I took it all with me.  And then I started to hoard Brasilian craft supplies. Okay, I admit it - I AM A CRAFT HOARDER!     For this blog hop, the artists had only two rules - use StencilGirl stencils and then to dig through our craft hoard and use whatever we wanted to use.  I grabbed stencils (duh) sprays, pastes, paints, makeup sponges, lots and lots of BLING, you name it.  Heck, I even grabbed my bag of keyboard letters and some fake eyelashes that were in the hoard.  Told ya, I am a craft hoarder. There is something very freeing about just using stuff from my hoard and making a piece of art.  I did not do much thinking here.  I did know what st...
