Come See My Gingerbread House



Well, I'm officially done with Halloween cards now, so it's time to move onto Thanksgiving cards and Christmas cards! LOL

Today, I have a fun sparkly shaped Christmas card to show you. I'm really into shaped cards, lately! They are so much fun! This one has an extra twist, too, because the door of the gingerbread house opens up!

I used the Gingerbread House image and the Gingerbread Girl image, from Squiggle Stamps. I won these from them and absolutely love them! They're quickly becoming one of my favorite companies! Both images are colored with Promarkers. I printed the gingerbread house and attached it to cardstock, then cut it out to make a shaped card. I used an exacto knife to cut around the door so that the door actually opens, then I placed the gingerbread girl on the inside of the card, so that she can be seen standing in the doorway if you open the door, but She can also be seen if you just open the card the usual way. I covered the inside of the card and the inside of the open door with green and white polka dot paper. The gingerbread house has had lots and lots of sparkle and glitter added with a clearstar gelly roll pen.



I am entering this fun shaped card in the following challenges:
