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).

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.

Monochromatic Fun
Creating projects in a monochromatic color way is fun! It keeps creating simple, and this project comes together fast. I used Pecan Pie throughout all the elements on this project, then added some black accents and Real Red & White Peppermints embellishments for a little pop of detail.
Creating Interest with a Background
To add some texture to this project, I created a layered background using the gingerbread die-cut elements layered on a piece of Pecan Pie cardstock. Two gingerbread men were enough to cover it. I first adhered them both in place, trimmed the overhang, and kept adding the pieces until the background was filled.
To help the gingerbread focal point pop, I inked the edges with Pecan Pie ink using a Blending Brush.
To Create This Project
Card base of Pecan Pie Cardstock cut 4-1/4″ x 11″ and scored at 5-1/2″
Die cut (3) gingerbread men from Pecan Pie Cardstock
Cut a 3-5/8″ x 4-7/8″ and a 3-3/4″ x 5″ Pecan Pie layer
Inside layer Basic White 3-3/4″ x 5″
Basic White for sentiment cut 4″ x 5/8″, trim banner ends
Adhere (2) of the gingerbread men to the smallest Pecan Pie layer. Trim overhand and adhere pieces to same layer. Do this until layer is filled. Adhere layer to larger Pecan Pie layer, than adhere to card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Ink edges of remaining gingerbread man with Pecan Pie ink and a blending brush. Adhere black dots for eyes and peppermints for buttons. Stamp mouth in Pecan Pie ink. Adhere gingerbread man to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stamp sentiments on Basic White strip and inside layer in Memento Black ink. Adhere a black twine bow to back of sentiment, then adhere sentiment to card front. Adhere large Basic White layer inside card.

During the holiday season, I love creating cut little treats to share. And who doesn’t love hot cocoa! Adding in a couple mini candy canes makes this one even better.
The base for this is created using the box die from the Jolly Delivery Dies. Tie a pretty ribbon bow around it and it’s done!
Then, I added a cute belly band to a packet of cocoa mix. This adorable check pattern is from the Christmas Tags & More Designer Series Paper pack. I layered circles and a label to dress it up. The Stylish Shapes Dies and Traditional Labels Dies are perfect for this! I finished it off with a couple mini candy canes from the Homemade Treats Bundle and a few Delightful Decorative Dots embellishments.
To Create This Project
Cut a box from Real Red Cardstock using the Jolly Delivery Dies
Create a belly band from Christmas Tags & More Designer Series Paper, cut 6″ x 2″
Die cut the 3rd largest circle from Garden Green Cardstock using the Stylish Shapes Dies
Punch a 1-7/8″ circle from Vellum
Die cut a label from Basic White Cardstock using the Traditional Labels Dies
Stamp and die cut (2) mini candy canes
Assemble box, leaving the top open. Tie a ribbon bow around the box. Stamp sentiment on label in Memento Black ink. Lightly blend with a bit of Real Red ink. Wrap belly band around a packet of cocoa with ends on the front. Layer vellum and Garden Green circles and adhere to belly band covering the gap on the belly band. Add sentiment label to circle. Slide packet into holder. Stamp mini candy canes from the Homemade Treats Stamp Set in Real Red ink, die cut with coordinating dies, and add label. Embellish with dots.
