Xmas All Year - Happy Gingerbread

Another Xmas card! This one feature the lovely gingerbread stamp from the Penny Black stamp set. It is a singular ginger friend, but I used a post-it to mask off the image and stamp two more on opposite sides. A few fun pearl blings later and I am still in love with Xmas just as ever! Got to make a couple more if I want to get five done this month...

 How my gingerbread boy became a triplet:

After stamping your first image, stamp it again on a post-it.  Cut it out and stick it on top.  Now you can stamp on both sides to create a group and have the center image in front.

 

 Keep your post-it with the stamp to reuse again later!

 To create an inked shape while preserving the outer edge, tape your die with some masking tape before removing it.  The part that isn't showing will remain the original colour while the rest gets inked.  The look is very nice and it saves you from matting!


I just love gingerbread (my fav part of xmas, other than the tree)… Happy Smiles!
