Stay Crafty November 2024 Challenge Reminder - We Are Family

 Hello everyone.  I’m back today to share my reminder card for the current WE ARE FAMILY Stay Crafty challenge over on the Hero Arts (HA) blog.

HA products used:
▪️Peeking Gingerbread fancy dies
▪️Arches infinity dies 
▪️Hug in a Mug stamp and cut (sentiment)

With Christmas coming up, I need cards for my many family members.  I wanted to use one of my newest addition to the “peeking” die collection and create a gingerbread house scene. 😉   Looks like Mr. Gingerbread is peeking from the door of his gingerbread house in anticipation of Christmas. 😂


The gingerbread parts were made from Kraft woodgrain paper and ink blended with Gathered Twigs distress ink for shading.  The door was die cut on the woodgrain detail side while the rest used the smooth backside.  The swirl candy and candy canes were die cut from X-Press It paper and coloured with red Copic Sketch markers R27/46 and the whites shaded with cool grays Copic Sketch markers C00/1/2.  A white gel pen was used for icing and to add highlights to the candy canes.  For fun, glued on googley eyes.  The sentiment was heat embossed with white embossing powder before the card was assembled onto a white card base to finish.
