Gingerbread House Ornament

Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge this week is Anything But A Card, Christmas Ornaments.  What a fun idea!  I decided to make a hand-crafted Gingerbread House Ornament (to commemorate our tradition of making a Gingerbread House every year).

 

I used the Milk Carton Die in the Big Shot with Soft Suede cardstock to create the base of the Gingerbread house.  Then I used the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Punch on Whisper White cardstock to create the "trim" of the house.  Tempting Turqouise, Real Red, and Daffodil Delight markers were used to add the polka dots to the trim which are supposed to look like sprinkles. 

The Roof of the house is just a piece of Whisper White cardstock cut to 1 1/2" by 4" and scored at 2".  I used Tempting Turqouise, Real Red, and Daffodil Delight markers to draw "gumdrops" on the roof since I don't have any candy stamps (something to add to my wish list!).  I used Dazzling Details to add glitter to the gumdrops.

For the front of the Gingerbread house, I cut two little squares of Whisper White cardstock then used a Basic Black Marker to make the window pane and a Read Red Marker to add curtains.  I used Stampin UP!'s Crystal Effects to make the windows gleam.  The wreath is a piece of Old Olive Cardstock punched with the Scallop Circle from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack then punched with a Hole Punch in the middle.  The door is just a piece of Whisper White Cardstock colored with a Tempting Turquoise Marker then covered with Dazzling Details Glitter.

Thanks for visiting!
