Our sponsor for Day19 is Paper Smooches.
I had fun playing with the Paper Smooches Gingerbread House die.
Here I cut a white house with a red door and windows, and adhered it to a kraft die cut from the Quote Tag Dies. I've had these dies forever, and they are absolutely perfect when I want a slightly larger tag.
Here is a more traditional gingerbread house, cut from kraft card stock with some delicious rainbow gumdrops for a roof. I cut the gumdrops out of white, and colored them with Copic markers.
I had some fun playing with the Paper Smooches Joy Die. On this tag, I substituted the 'O' in JOY with a little snowman from Swanky Snowdude. I know that's not a terribly original thing to do, but it did make me smile.
And, now for some cards. Well, if a snowman can sub in for an 'O', then how about a penguin? This one is from Winter Grooves, which I think may be discontinued.
And, the Gingerbread folk have emerged from their gingerbread houses to wish you a happy birthday.
Please head over to Tracey's blog for more information on how you can join in on the fun and get a chance to win a prize.
Thanks for Visiting
I love the gingerbread houses the best. It reminds me of us visiting a gingerbread competition one time and they created the most beautiful places. The stuff kids dream of and kids at heart.
