Come see how to make a gingerbread themed card for Christmas using new dies from the Brass and Bliss “Boughs of Joy” release.

This gingerbread boy card will put a smile on anyone’s face on your holiday card list. I used the Mr. Mrs. Gingerbread as the main focal image and paired it with the Stitched Dot Nested Rectangle, Background Cover, Build a Bloom Poinsettia #4, Pine Bough Set, Holly #1, Winter Cocoa, Tiny Leaves.

Create the layered card base using red and white cardstock.
Apply double stick tape to the back of the stitched white layer and red layer and attach them to the card base.
Apply strips of mounting tape to the smaller white layer and attach it to the red layer.

Use vanilla cardstock to cut the gingerbread boy.
Lightly shade the body with brown ink and blending brushes.
Use red and white cardstock to cute the trim and clothing sections.
Attach the sections to the boy using Nuvo glue. Pro Tip: Nuvo glue is perfect to attach small pieces because it dries clear.
Apply pieces of mounting tape to the back of the boy and attach it to the card base.

I thought my gingerbread themed card looked a little bare so I added flowers and greenery for a perfect finishing touch.

Cut the poinsettia sections using red and green cardstock.
Form the petals using a small round stylus and molding pad and attach them together using glue.
Attach the flowers around the gingerbread boy’s body using glue.
Cut evergreen and holly sections using green cardstock.
Tuck the branches under the poinsettia flowers and attach them using glue.
