Sending Cheer Gingerbread Man


I think the Sending Cheer bundle is just so stinkin' adorable--it has this cute gingerbread man, a Santa hat and some presents and everything to go with those stamps. And starting 11/21/23 the stamps and dies will be 40% off--such an amazing deal. And I love how the gingerbread man matches the ones on the Traditions of St. Nick DSP that is an on-line exclusive. A match made in heaven!

 Let's make this card! Gather your supplies:

1. Real Red cardstock --Card base 5 1/2" by 7 1/2" scored on the long side at  3 1/4" and folded along the score line. Second piece die cut with the 3rd largest Countryside Corners die
2. Basic White cardstock--2 3/4 by 5 1/4" for the inside and a scrap to cut the gingerbread man
3. Traditions of St. Nick DSP--3" by 5 1/4"
4. Glorious Gingham 6" X 6" DSP--1" by 5 1/4" of the Pecan Pie gingham
5. Stamp set--Sending Cheer
6. Dies--Sending Cheer, Countryside Corners
7. Ink--Pecan Pie, Memento Black
8. Basic supplies--Bone folder, Paper Snips, adhesive (I like Multipurpose Glue and Seal+), Paper Trimmer, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, Take Your Pick Tool, Piercing Mat,  Regular Dimensionals

Fold your card base along the score line. Then take  the Real Red Countryside Corners die cut and score it along one side about 1/4" from the corner. Fold along the score line and then attach the small piece to the INSIDE of the back part of the card. Cover with the 1" piece of Glorious Gingham DSP. If this is confusing please watch my Facebook Live below, or check me out on YouTube (both are Stamp with Dr Robin) and meet me there every Monday at 1 pm PST for more cardmaking fun.


Next attach the piece of  Traditions of St. Nick DSP to the front of the card. Now take the piece of Basic White and stamp the inside sentiment in Pecan Pie and attach to the inside of the card.



Stamp the gingerbread man on the scrap piece of Basic White and then stamp his face with Memento Black. Cut him out with the matching die from Sending Cheer. Cut off the part that would make it a tag. Stamp the "For You" on the front of the Real Red piece and attach the gingerbread man with Dimensionals.


An alternative is to color the hearts with a Real Red blend or marker. I don't know if you can see it, but in the card below I also colored some rhinestones with the marker and attached a few of those.


 Below is my Facebook Live from 11/13/23 where I make this card, and show you some tips to help with the cardmaking. Join me every Monday at 1 pm PST for some cardmaking fun over on Stamp with Dr Robin on Facebook. Or follow me on YouTube with the same name (be sure to hit the Subscribe button while you are there). And let me know if you have questions.

  Floating Christmas Tree So if you make a lot of holiday cards like I do, it is time to start working on them! I know, I know, we haven't had Halloween yet, but if you want to send them out before the holiday it is time to get working. And this lovely card was inspired by someone else (sorry I just took a picture of it but there was no name on it so I can't thank you) who used her scraps to make the tree. I took it one step further and made a floating scraps tree. I've been wanting to make a card with this technique for a while and I knew this tree would look fabulous like this. And the second bonus is that I got to use up a ton of Lights Aglow scraps, even the small ones. All you need to do is cut your scraps into 1/2" pieces, attach them to a piece of window sheet and then cut out whatever shape you like. What an amazing way to use up something you might have otherwise thrown out. Win! Win! If you get lost making this card, or you are just a visual learner, please w...

  Pick of the Patch Joy Fold Card This fun joy fold card just makes me smile. I'm loving the Pick of the Patch bundle lately for its versatility--it can make beautiful fall cards, great Thanksgiving cards, and today a Halloween card. And all from a relatively inexpensive punch bundle. Now are you wondering where the Pumpkin Pie Designer Series Paper in the background is from? It's not DSP--I made it with the Sketched Plaid background stamp. Another versatile stamp set that I'm sure will be making an appearance on some holiday cards later this year. For some hints and tips on using this large sized stamp, and making this card, please watch my Facebook Live down below. Better yet, join me every Monday at 1 pm PST on my Stamp with Dr Robin Facebook group to make another fun card.  Time to make this card! Gather your supplies: 1. Basic Black cardstock --Card base 4 1/4" by 8 1/2"" scored on the long side at  3" and folded along the score line. Second piece 3...

Playing with Thoughtful Journey DSP Hopefully you have received your new 2024-25 Annual Catalog by now--if not please email me at stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com and let me send you one if you don't have a demonstrator. I am making a card today using the gorgeous 6" by 6" Thoughtful Journey DSP as each page is more beautiful than the last. These pages are stand alone amazing--all they really need is a sentiment added to make a card, but I thought I'd fancy them up today with some other new products. I am loving the In Color Glimmer Paper as well as the Unbounded Love bundle that I used for the sentiment. If you have trouble following along with these directions, please watch my Facebook live below.   Let's make this card. Gather your supplies:  1. Mossy Meadow cardstock --Card base 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" scored on the long side at  4 1/4" and folded along the score line. A second piece 3 3/4" by 2 3/8" 2. Basic White cardstock-- 3 3/4" by 5...
