Mr & Mrs Gingerbread

Gingerbread Fun

Now, for something completely different, I would like to share a card I started at a recent craft class.  Karen Wilson holds the class at her shop ‘Craft-ed Creations’ in Alloa (my home town).

I only started going to the class a couple of weeks ago, and it is wonderful getting to ‘play’ with other crafters.  Fresh ideas, good company and tea and biscuits, who could want more?

The main focus of the card is the decoupage gingerbread lady (from Craft Creations Ltd).  She was die-cut so pretty easy to pop out.  Karen had the base stepper card and backing papers ready for us so it all came together quite easily.  There is also a wee cheeky gingerbread boy sitting on a rolling pin on the other side.

I had been working on another project that night too, so I finished this one at home (best homework ever).  I couldn’t help myself and added some white dots with my sakura pen.  I think it looks just right (although I admit the dots and dashes thing is turning in to a bit of an addiction!).  I added just a sprinkle of polar white flowersoft for icing sugar and a little bit of ric-rac ribbon and was really pleased with the result.

The card was such fun to do, I think I’ll be doing another one (the same but different of course).

Karen also has classes for scrapbooking which I hope to start attending soon.
