Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 2 pieces each 1" x 5-1/2" from Old Olive Cardstock
- 3" x 5-1/2" of the Lemon Lime Twist dots design from the Foil Frenzy Specialty Designer Series Paper
- 2-3/8" x 3-3/8" from Old Olive Cardstock
- 2-1/4" x 3-1/4" from Very Vanilla Cardstock
- 2-1/4" x 3-1/2" from Very Vanilla Cardstock
- scrap of Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock
Adhere the two Old Olive 1" strips to either side of the Foil Frenzy Designer Series Paper piece so about 1/8" of Old Olive Cardstock shows.
Cut a 4" piece of Lemon Lime Twist 1/2" Finely Woven Ribbon.
Lay the ribbon piece across the Old Olive/Foil Frenzy layers so it is about 1/2" from the bottom. Flip the layers over and fold the ends of the ribbon over. Adhere the ends of the ribbon in place with pieces of Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Remove the protective backing from the Tear & Tape strips and add more SNAIL to the back of the layers. Adhere the layers to the front of the Lemon Lime Twist card in the center.
Cut another 4" piece of Lemon Lime Twist 1/2" Finely Woven Ribbon. Tie it to the ribbon on the card front in the center using a half knot. Trim the ends.
Mount the sentiment of choice from the Cookie Cutter Christmas Set on Block C or D (depending on the sentiment you use). Ink it up with the Lemon Lime Twist Ink Pad. Stamp it on the bottom of the 2-1/4" x 3-1/4" piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock.
Adhere the stamped sentiment cardstock to the center of the Old Olive rectangle. Then, adhere the matted cardstock to the center of the card front above the ribbon.
Place the other rectangle of Very Vanilla Cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Mount the gingerbread man image from the Cookie Cutter Christmas Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Crumb Cake Ink. Stamp it on the rectangle of vanilla cardstock.
Tip: Placing your cardstock on top of the Stampin' Pierce Mat helps you get a clean, crisp image when stamping with solid photopolymer images.
Unlock the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch. Holding the punch upside down so you can see the punching area, slide the stamped gingerbread man image into the punch. Carefully line up the image so it is centered in the matching punching area. Punch.
Use the markers to color in the gingerbread man's eyes, buttons, mouth, and stripes on his arms and legs.
Adhere the gingerbread man to the card front over the center of the sentiment.
Mount the more solid bow tie image from the Cookie Cutter Christmas Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Lemon Lime Twist Ink Pad. Stamp it on the scrap of Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock.
Unlock the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch again. Holding the punch upside down so you can see the punching area, slide the stamped bow tie image into the punch. Carefully line up the image so it is centered in the matching punching area. Punch.
Adhere the bow tie to the gingerbread man's neck with a Mini Stampin' Dimensional.
