Ok, enough shrieking… on to the HOP! 🙂

Here is my card! 🙂

I LOVE this little Gingerbread Man (and woman, of course. 😉 ). The little gingerbread person and the house is from the Gingerbread House dies. I also used the new Decorate a Tree dies and Be Merry stamp set! Seriously, DElightful!

I die cut everything out of different colored card stocks and pieced it together. If you want to save time, you can die cut the gumdrops and buttons (“Oh no, NOT my gumdrop buttons!”) out of white CS, and color them individually.

I struggled with the background a bit, but ended up using some patterned paper for a little something. 🙂 After I photographed this, I added some Stickles, for some gumdrop sparkle! (I’m not so good at photographing sparkle, so I left it off for the photos.)

Of course, I wanted to make another card, so here’s that one too:

Again, I used the Gingerbread House dies and the Be Merry stamp set. I also used various Paper Smooches heart dies for all the little hearts! 🙂I do enjoy a happy little stack! 🙂

Happy (big) Thanks to Kim, and the PS DT for having me along! Such fun to create with Paper Smooches! xo!

Thanks for hopping by today! Be sure to hop over to see Kalyn Kepner‘s fun there! The whole list is above.

Take care-Jill 🙂
