Gingerbread Christmas Cards

No, this post is NOT about creating Christmas cards from gingerbread cookies (though that might not be a bad idea - looking at these cards makes me HUNGRY!).  It is about gingerbread cookie themed Christmas Cards.  These were quick and easy to make using base cards from Paper Wishes, along with some decorative elements I got in a couple of punch-out books from them. Here are the cards with a brief description for each.
 I thought these gingerbread cutouts made a nice focal for the gingerbread background. I put a rounded border at the top to look a bit like a candy shop awning. I stamped the word "believe" and the border below. The bottom border and top "awning" were edged with ribbon.  Then I scattered some snowflakes punched from white paper on both the "awning" and the bottom border.
 This gingerbread cookie holding the sentiment had a candy cane attached, so it fit right in with the candy background.  The larger candy pieces were also cutouts.  A bit of striped paper and ribbon finish the card.
Here I edged the card with green paper, red ribbon and a gingerbread border (cutouts from PW).  The gingerbread cookie focal fits the theme of the background perfectly!

Cheryl: adorable cards!!! Yes, they look good enough to eat! By using the cutouts, I'm sure these were quick to make. By adding the punched snowflakes and ribbons, you've put your special touch to the cards.
