My card used a lot of scraps (snippets). Aside from the adorable image (Twinkle Lane Designs - Coloured Gingerbread Man), all of the paper and cardstock were scraps, including the kraft cardstock. It wasn't quite wide enough for an A2 card front, so I added scraps of glitter cardstock along the left side.
I began by applying embossing paste on the kraft cardstock through a snowflake stencil (Hot off the Press Snowfall). I added the strips of glitter cardstock and a torn scrap of music-patterned paper (BoBunny). I printed two copies of the image and fussy-cut both. On the second one, I fussy-cut only the gingerbread man so I could pop him up on foam tape. I punched three snowflakess (Recollections punch) from the scrap of red glitter cardstock and adhered. I stamped a sentiment in the lower right corner (SugarPea Designs Sweet Treats Christmas) and finished the card by applying Star Dust Stickles to the gingerbread's icing.

Great card! This is the second gingerbread man so far. Yours is so sweet and welcoming. Makes me want to have a gingerbread flavoured coffee and nibble on a ginger cookie!
Thanks for taking part in the July Rudolph Days Challenge.
Great stamp on your card Kitty. Love it.

I love this design. And, the glitter scraps are a great touch to the card. I always love to see gingerbread men on a Christmas card.
What an adorable card, you can't go wrong with gingerbread men! like your stenciled snowflakes and the glitter strips, how festive!
Great looking card Kitty...I like the idea of using snippets for making cards and your turned out fantastic....TFS Missed seeing your creations
Love, love, love your card! So warm and Christmassy looking! Looks great on the kraft card stock! I am going to have to try out the technique with the embossing paste. I made some homemade texture paste and just haven't gotten the chance to try it on a card yet! You have inspired me! Love your beautiful card. So glad to see your post! I was hoping you were doing alright and just keeping busy. I know we have to take breaks, but I am hoping that you are healthy and well and all is going good in your life! Love your creations crafting friend! You are so talented! :)
Glad to see a card from you today! I love the torn piece of music paper and the sparkle down the side. Hope all is well! Hugs from Oklahoma.

Hi Kitty,
Happy Rudolf Days.

Super cute card, love all your use of "snippits" The design is perfect. and the images adorable (best I finish my Rudolph Day card). The embossing paste use on the snowflakes is perfect.
I love the snippets you used for background and accents. Just a really fun design. And I really like that image that Outlawz had this month. We've been working a lot on re-roofing our barn. Finally got it under roof yesterday just in time for an all-day rain today. The cap isn't finished yet so it was leaking a bit at the very top but at least most of it is dry. My brother lost his fight with Covid-19 last week. It's really tough to not be able to be with them while they are sick. His wife did get to stay with him after they took the ventilator out and he passed. He would have been in the hospital for 4 weeks. Please stay safe.
I love this image and I love the textured snowflakes on kraft! Exquisite card!!
Yet another adorable Christmas card - the strip of music notes under the gingerbread man's feet is such a great touch. You keep reminding me that I need to START working on my own Christmas cards... at this rate, I will have about two done for the season :)
A super Christmas card, such a fun gingerbread man and lots of great details.
