Sending a card is a small gesture that shows just how much you care about that special someone in your life. With World Card Making Day coming on October 1, celebrate by making and sending a handmade card to someone who could use a little recognition, love, or just a boost (which is anyone, really!). 

Set aside some time to stamp on World Card Making Day (this weekend).  Let someone know you care about them by sending a hand-stamped card.  It's like sending smiles in the mail!

I have another card to share with you that's from my upcoming Cookie Cutter Christmas Holiday Card SAS class.  This one features the adorable little gingerbread cookies.

Cookie Cutter Christmas Gingerbread Gate Fold

This gate fold card is the perfect way to show off the great patterns in the Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Paper that go perfectly with the gingerbread man. This card starts with an Early Espresso card base.  I used two different patterns of the Candy Cane Lane DSP that are matted on Crumb Cake panels.

I used the Layering Circles Framelits to cut a Whisper White circle and stamped my "boy" gingerbread in the center using Early Espresso ink.  This is layered on top a Real Red scalloped circle also using the Layering Circles Framelits.  The two "girl" gingerbreads were stamped using Crumb Cake ink on a scrap piece of Whisper White and punched using the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch.  The bows are stamped in Real Red ink.  (I have a great tip on how to stamp the gingerbread and the bow in my class instructions.  See the end of this post for class details.)  They are so sweet!

I finished the card by stamping the Cookie Cutter Christmas greeting in Early Espresso onto a piece of Whisper White.  I fishtailed the ends with my super-sharp Paper Snips.  Sorry that's so blurry!

My favorite part of this card is the way the two front elements create an interlocking style of closure.  Both elements are adhered with Dimensionals on one side only.  A super-easy way to make a gate fold card with a little "wow" factor.  Here's another picture of how the card opens:

What a sweet, fun card to make!  Would you like to make this card with me?  Here are the details for my upcoming class.  Hurry!  Prepaid registration ends October 5th!

I have to admit that when I first saw the Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set in the Holiday Catalog I wasn't very fond of it.  Boy has that changed!  I am loving this set with the coordinating punch.  These characters are so cute and fun to make!

Today I'd like to share one of the cards from my upcoming Holiday Card Stamp-a-Stack Class series.  This one features the reindeer stamp.  I think this one is my favorite!  And the Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Paper is so fun and festive and goes with these cards so well.

Cased from Peanuts and Peppers

This card starts with a Crumb Cake card base layered with Real Red and Whisper White card stock.  Then, I tied some of the new Candy Cane Lane Baker's Twine around it twice and into a bow.  The perfect little accent for this card!

I created two of the banners with the Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Papers and the third banner is Whisper White.  All banners were cut with the Banner Triple Punch and adhered with SNAIL.

I stamped the reindeer image in Early Espresso ink onto Crumb Cake card stock, then use the coordinating Cookie Cutter Builder Punch to cut it out. (I have a great tip on how to stamp the reindeer and the bow in my class instructions.  See the end of this post for class details.)  It's popped up with Dimensionals onto the Whisper White circle and Real Red scalloped circle that were cut using the Layering Circle Framelits dies.  Isn't the bow adorable?  That stamp is in the set, too.  Best of all ... the punch punches it out!

I stamped the sentiment in Real Red ink along the bottom to finish off the card.  Isn't is cute?  Would you like to make this card with me?  Here are the details for my upcoming class.  Hurry!  Prepaid registration ends October 5th!
