Countdown to Christmas 2025: 12 weeks!

Hello friends! Run, run, as fast as you can—and catch these adorable Gingerbread Man shaped cards! Each Thursday, while counting down the weeks, I’ll share something ‘Christmassy’ that I’m working on and these definitely qualify 🙂

They started out as Crumb Cake cardstock, white pigment ink and the Gingerbread Man stamp set; each measures 12.4 x 8.9 cm OR 4 7/8 x 3 1/2 inches:

The next step? To be cut out with the coordinating Gingerbread Man die:

This is one view of the card when it’s open:

Here it’s seen closed while receiving a happy face in Early Espresso ink: 

Open and closed!

You know me, once I have everything out I like to make a few (or more than a few!) of whatever it is I’m working on:

To keep it simple, I’ve decorated them with sparkly holiday treat buttons and will save the hat, scarf, bow and candy cane for another time!

The glitter foam for the buttons has adhesive backing which makes it very easy to stick on:

Four cards of each colour…

… that I’m going to sell in packs of 4 cards, and each card in the pack will have different coloured buttons 🙂

They’ll come with envelopes, but they could also be used as large gift tags:

MEANWHILE … we’re excited to be going to the AusLive Auctions Grand Opening in Yeoval on 18 October ~ congratulations Andrew and Sarah on a massive achievement!!

Thanks so much for spending some time with me and I hope to see you again soon 🙂 Megan xo
