Gingerbread House

Decided to do a bit of mixed media today and make a little gingerbread house.

I made the little box with a sheet of Kraftcard and my Scorpal. The house measures 3 inches square around and is 6 inches tall.

Handmade some freckles (not sure what everyone else calls them, but in Australia they are a round chocolate button with hundreds and thousands on top.) I punched out 1 inch circles, added glue and then dipped them in some hundreds and thousands.

Now if you think glitter makes a mess, you haven't seen anything. Firstly I used 3 different glues (it was really hot and humid here today and things were not sticking as they should) in hindsight I should have used a texture paste or made some royal icing, maybe next year. I will be sweeping up and wiping away hundreds and thousand for days.

The house, once constructed has been covered with patterned paper. I have added a doily, die cut windows and door. pieces from my stash including some snowflakes, candy canes, lots of gems, snow and of course the freckles.

I've made two Christmas cards, the first one is with an image form paper Nest Dolls, called "Elf Ellie with Gifts " and I chose this image because the card is going to a little girl called Ellie.

I have printed the image twice (in mirror), coloured with copic pens and glitter, fussy cut and joined the images back to back and added some ribbon to make a little Christmas tree decoration. Then I made a card from Stampin-Up paper with a pocket to hold the image. Adding some glitter, ribbon and a sentiment to complete the card.

For my second Christmas card, I used Snow Posh from Creative Bug, the image had beautiful background shading, so I adjusted the Hue and Saturation, added a border and came up with a blue image. My favourite colour (and I usually shade snowmen with blue anyway,) so perfect, I also printed his scarf and hat a second time on Stampin Up patterned paper, fussy cut and added it to the image with 3d stickers. The holly has been coloured with copic pens and some glossy accents added to the berries. Silver sentiment and sticker completes this card.
