Welcome back to day 10 of 12 Days of Christmas with Brenda and Melanie! I am having so much fun creating with the adorable Gingerbread Man bundle, and today I created a gingerbread man cookie holder!
My crafty friend Brenda Zorn, from Stamps & Stretchy Pants, and I have now shared 10 adorable projects with you through our 12 Days of Christmas using the Homemade Treats and Gingerbread Man Bundles. They are both so cute and coordinate perfectly, making them so easy to create with.
Today’s project uses just the Gingerbread Man Bundle.

Gingerbread Man Cookie Treat
What better treat to share than gingerbread man cookies in a gingerbread man cookie holder! This is not only adorable, it’s easy to create and sure to make anyone smile.
I first created a simple box from Pecan Pie cardstock, then created two gingerbread men to add to each side. For a little color, I added a band of Christmas Tags & More Designer Series Paper and a ribbon bow to the box. White embossing created the icing on the gingerbread men, and they were embellished with black Neutral Matte Dots and Real Red & White Peppermints for cute detail.
The cookies were placed in an Iridescent Treat bag and tied with a piece of coordinating Shiny Real Red Ribbon.
Unfortunately, this little guy had a mishap, and had his food snapped! So I applied the black dots to his eyes to create expression, and added the Oh Snap sentiment. So fun!
To Create This Project
7″ x 9-1/2″ scored at 2″ and 5″ on short edge and 3-1/4″ and 6-1/4″ on long edge
8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ to die cut (2) gingerbread men (use partial die cutting technique to get rounded hands on both sides)
(2) 5″ x 1-1/2″ pieces of designer series paper each scored at 2″ on long edge
Stamp crumbs on box in Versamark ink. Clip at score lines to create flaps and fold to make a box. Adhere patterned paper and tie a ribbon bow around box. Stamp gingerbread men and details in Versamark ink and heat emboss with white powder. Adhere both to box with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Place black matte dots on eyes and peppermints to buttons. Place cookies in a treat bag, tie closed with ribbon and add to box.
Thank You

We are almost to day 12 of our sharing! Stop on back tomorrow to see what Brenda has to share for day 11, then we will both be sharing a project on the final day!

Welcome to day 8 of 12 Days of Christmas with Brenda and Melanie! We are so happy to have you back! And today, I am sharing an adorable card using both the Gingerbread Man and Homemade Treats bundles, and I love it!
My crafty friend Brenda Zorn, from Stamps & Stretchy Pants, and I are sharing daily holiday inspiration through our 12 Days of Christmas using the Homemade Treats and Gingerbread Man bundles for or projects. They are both so cute! And by sharing so many projects using them, you will have tons of ideas for using your bundles!
Both bundles pair so well together! For this project, I pulled the large candy cane elements from the Gingerbread Man Dies (these just went out of stock, but will be back in just a week or 2).

And the adorable gingerbread man and sentiment from the Homemade Treats Bundle.

Candy Cane Love
I thought the candy canes from the Gingerbread Man Dies would make adorable hearts, so I used 2 of them to create the focal point. There is only one candy cane, but if you flip the die cuts over, you can have candy canes that face both directions.
Thick Basic White card base cut 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″
Real Red layer 5″ x 3-3/4″
Basic White layer cut 4-7/8″ x 3-5/8″ and embossed
Die cut label from a 3-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ piece of Basic White cardstock
Cut and assemble (2) sets of candy canes from Basic White and Real Red Cardstock
Adhere embossed layer to Real Red layer, then adhere to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Splatter card front with Basic Black Stampin’ Blends Marker. Stamp sentiment on label in Memento Black ink and adhere to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere candy canes together to form a heart, then add to card front with Stampin’ Dimensioanls. Stamp (3) gingerbread men in Pecan Pie ink. Die cut with coordinating die and adhere to card front. Embellish with a black twine bow and peppermints.
