Hello and Happy November. It is a new month and time for a new Stamp Set of the Month series! For the month of November I will be showcasing the Tiny Gingerbread stamp set by Lawn Fawn.
I LOVE gingerbread men and so I decided to challenge myself to see what I could come up with for this tiny stamp set.
For Episode One I am pulling out one of my favorite and my first interactive die set, Pull Tab. I thought it would be fun to have a way to dunk one of the gingerbread men in hot cocoa.
As a second challenge I decided to make a slimline version and an A2 sized version of the same card.
You can see Episode One in the video below.
If you can not see the video on this screen, you can also watch it right here.
First up let's take a look at the slimline card.
To make this cocoa bar scene for my Tiny Gingerbread people I brought in the Thanks A Latte stamp set. These two stamp sets are the perfect pairing! Especially for dunking your gingerbread man into your cocoa.
In the first photo you can see the gingerbread man all the way in the cocoa and in this photo you can see him pulled up out of the cocoa. He is very small and so the movement with the pull tab is also very small. But it is quite fun to dunk hime over and over in the cocoa.
The background for this card was made using PanPastels. First, I stamped the snowflake image repeatedly over my 9" x 4" background with clear embossing ink. Then, I rubbed on red PanPastel. The PanPastel will stick to the stamped images and make them darker. It is one of my most favorite kind of backgrounds to make, as it is so easy.
Now let's take a look at the A2 sized version on this card.
If you like the standard size card (A2 - 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored at 4-1/4") you can almost always take an idea from a slimline card and pair it down to fit on an A2 card. That is what I am going to be showing you in this months series.
This A2 card still has the gingerbread man getting dunked but only has the one cup on it. If you are making a lot of Christmas cards this one would definitely be the faster card to make.
I just adore all the little images in this gingerbread set, but I am pretty giddy over have a stamp of cookie crumbs. It's weird, I know.
So, which card is your favorite? Do you have any ideas you'd like to see me do with this Tiny Gingerbread stamp set?
Make sure to tune back in next Tuesday for Episode 2 and more ideas with this stamp set.
