Put on a Happy Face

It’s easy to put on a happy face when you apply it with icing! I have really loved playing with the new Cookie Cutter Christmas Bundle (Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set and Cookie Cutter Builder Punch) and the Cookie Cutter Halloween stamp set that also goes with the punch.

And can we talk about the Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Paper? Real Red, Crumb Cake, and Whisper White has long been one of my very favortie color combos. This DSP has those three colors along with Early Espresso – an outstanding addition in my opition.

Today’s card uses this bundle and the new DSP, as well as the new Jolly Hat Builder Punch, and the new Real Red 3/4″ Stitched Edge Ribbon.

Here’s how I did it:

I stamped the little guy in Crumb Cake ink (what other color could I use, right?) onto Whisper White card stock, then cut him out with the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch. I punched two buttons from Real Red card stock with the 1/8″ Circle Punch and glued them to his torso.

I used the new Jolly Hat Builder Bunch to cut the hat from Whisper White card stock and the pompom from Crumb Cake card stock. I stamped the sentiment from the Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set in Early Espresso ink onto the hat, then I glued the hat pieces to the gingerbread man. I attached him to a piece of Early Espresso CS with Stampin’ Dimensionals, and matted that with Whisper White CS.

I cut a piece of the Candy Cane Lane DSP, stapled on a piece of the ribbon, and matted it with Whisper White CS.

I glued the matted DSP to the Real Red card base, then attached the matted gingerbread man piece with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Here’s what I used:
