Several days ago, I posted a Christmas card with a baking sheet full of gingerbread cookies. I had mentioned on that post to look forward to other "cookie card" posts, as I had coloured up a few types of gingerbread and sugar cookie images.
Rather than clean off my desk and carefully file away the "extras", I decided to bake up a few more.
Here is a card duet using up the last of the gingerbread men. I made up two sets of matching cards and tags! It was a lot of fun and I tried to use snippets wherever possible.
The background DP is leftover 12x12 Doodlebug Designs, Jolly Gingerbread and Sugarplum. I have used both the A and the B sides.
The stamp is my from Marks Finest Papers...sadly they are no longer trading. This stamp set contains three cookie shapes as well as this lovely tag stamp. I stamped and fussy cut the tags on some snippets of pink card. The round mats and edging on the borders is aqua glitter paper and the American Crafts hot pink Merry Christma rub on sentiment is my NBUS item!
A punched Martha Stewart kraft snowflake, a single aqua diamond, and some fine jute twine for the bow, are the only embellishments on the first card.
A couple of white Impression Obsession snowflakes, an aqua diamond, and the same jute twine, finish off the second card.
The inside of each card is covered with the same DP that was used on the border band on each. A white die cut was used for the sentiment.
The present tags are that same Marks Finest Papers tag stamp. Luckily that it had a To: and From: stamp included.
The envelopes are such a great colour match and were tucked away in my stash. I stamped a gingerbread man on the front of each one.

Just popping in to look at your pretty creation and see what I'v missed, slowly trying to ease back into the swing of things.
Despite having a card all ready for January Rudolph days I missed the boat - must do better!

What a super fun and adorable card Mo! I love that gingerbread boy and the papers you used on this card and tag. How fun that you stamped the envelope as well. I sometimes to do when I remember. lol But think it makes such a fun experience for the person who receives the card so should try and remember to do it more often. I pray you and hubby are soon as right as rain! Hugs Brenda
Wonderful card and I love that gingerbread man. I like that you incorporated the design over to the envelope as well. And the tag is a fun part of your ensemble too.
Hi Maureen, what gorgeous fun cards, love the gingerbread man images and your designs and papers are fabulous, Kate x
Lovely little card Maureen with a very cute image. Christine x
Love it that you were able to use up some of your snippets so cute as you did here. It's cheery & made me hungry for gingerbread too. I like the patchwork of colors in the dp, and also the extra detail you've added to decorate the inside (something I seldom do, but it always looks so professional when I see others do it. Ditto on the envelope details). Sure hope you & Mr. shake this bug soon...you've had it way too long! TFS &Hugs
Great card and tag and what a clever idea to use up what you already had there! Hope you both feel better soon! Hugs rachel x

This is such a fun card with the adorable gingerbread man x
I like how everything matches, the image with the DP, then the tag and the envelope. I think it's a clever and efficient way of making Christmas cards and tags.
These are so sweet Maureen and look good enough to eat! Hope you're feeling better now. Carol x
These are so cute, Maureen! Sorry the virus hit you guys so hard. I took 2 weeks to feel like myself after getting a cold this year & usually I'm good in about 4 days.
Ooooo what a gorgeous gingerbread man, it looks like the one Harrison ate today - so love the colours too, luv Sam x
