Cut cardstock pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Mint Macaron Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Soft Suede Cardstock
- 3-3/4" x 5" from Mint Macaron Cardstock
- 2" x 3-1/2" from Whisper White Cardstock
Mount the Tags & Tidings stamp on Block F. Place the mounted stamp on Grid Paper on your work surface so the stamp is facing up. Ink the stamp up with the Mint Macaron Ink Pad by rubbing or pouncing the pad on the stamp. Leave the inked up stamp laying on your work surface inky stamp side up. Place the Mint Macaron rectangle on the top of the inky stamp. Fold the Grid Paper over the stamp and rub firmly all over. Unfold the Grid Paper and carefully remove the cardstock from the background stamp.
Adhere the stamped Mint Macaron rectangle to the Soft Suede rectangle and then to the front of the Mint Macaron card.
As you are ready to stamp using the Cookie Cutter Christmas Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.
Mount the gingerbread man stamp from the Cookie Cutter Christmas Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Soft Suede Ink Pad. Stamp it on the bottom of the white strip with the feet on the bottom.
Unlock the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch. Holding the punch upside down so you can see the punching area, slide the stamped gingerbread man into the punch and get it centered in the corresponding punching area. Punch.
Use the Markers to color in the gingerbread man's eyes, mouth, buttons, and stripes on his neck, hands, and feet.
Loop some Linen Thread around the back of the punched out gingerbread man and secure in place with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Remove the protective backings from the Dimensionals and adhere the gingerbread man to the front of the card just to the left of center at a slight angle.
