I will have many cards to share in the coming weeks so keep an eye out for them! This first card I'm sharing features a sweet little gingerbread house made with a new Lovely Layers die set. This card is a unique size. It measures 6.5 inches tall by 4.5 inches wide. It will fit into an envelope for an A6 sized card. 


Here's a list of everything from the Cozy Christmas Release I used to create this card:

The Gingerbread Lane set includes dies to create three different gingerbread houses with accessories. The houses and trees are nicely detailed but very easy to assemble. I die cut the pieces from kraft card stock. I then used a blending brush and Catherine Pooler Spiced ink to color. I thought this combination made the perfect gingerbread color. You can vary the intensity of the ink onto the kraft to get lighter and darker shades. 


I thought it would be cute to make the greeting look like gingerbread too! I did same as the house pieces by die cutting the shadow layer from kraft, then applied the Spiced color ink. The white handwritten "happy holidays" looks like icing.

For that little bit of Christmas magic, I applied Stickles glitter glue to the snow areas on the house and trees. The Stickles adds such lovely sparkle to the snowcapped roof. It is so pretty in person! 

Just FYI, there will be an Instagram Hop on Nov. 2nd. The design team will be sharing  lots of project inspiration using products from this release and yes there will be a giveaway too!
That's all for today. Thanks for stopping by!
