Hello Honey Bee friends! Can you believe it’s only one week until Christmas?! I absolutely love making Christmas cards and just had to share another one with you that features the beautiful Lovely Layers: Alice’s Gingerbread Lane Honey Cuts.
I went all out on the sparkles for this card! Haha! I die cut the pieces for the gingerbread house #2 from the Lovely Layers: Alice’s Gingerbread Lane dies. These were cut from white and brown cardstocks. I decided on a white iced gingerbread house with peeks of the gingerbread. The other layers are die cut from red and silver glitter paper that I have in my stash.
I also die cut two of the trees from brown and white cardstocks. The green tree is paper that I inked up with Bundled Sage Distress Oxide ink.
Then I used the Layering Guide to assist me as I glued the layers of the Gingerbread House together with Bee Creative glue. Be sure to also use your reverse tweezers and glue with a fine tip to make the layering lots easier.
While the glued layers were drying, I layered my A2 card base with more silver glitter cardstock and then a 4″ x 5-¼” panel that I embossed with the gorgeous Snowflakes 3D embossing folder.
I hand trimmed more silver glitter cardstock into a hill for my scene. I used glue to adhere the Gingerbread house and foam dots (cut smaller with scissors) to adhere the trees.
I stamped a sentiment from the Wonder of Christmas stamp set in black ink. Then I cut it out with the coordinating die and popped it up on the card with foam tape strips.
I decided I want a bit more sparkle and added three Layering Snowflakes that I had saved from another project.
I love all of the sparkles, and hope you do too! Thank you for stopping by and enjoy your week leading up to the holidays!

Well Carol my friend, you’ve done it yet again. Another GORgeous piece!! I really love this one. All that fantastic background texture from the embossing folder and the lovely snowflakes, and all the delicious sparkle which I wish the camera could really capture, it’s just so beautiful! And I love that there is just a peek here and there of the gingerbread because it’s all the pretty white that makes the card stand out. I have to case this one for sure! Thanks so much for inspiring me once again! Merry Christmas!!
Thank you, always, for your very sweet words, Danita! Your support and encouraging words mean so much to me!!
