The first card shows the Die-namites Gingerbread Couple in their entirety. Cut in white and colored with Copics. The card is busy with designer paper and curlicues and snowflakes, but very Christmas-y. Spellbinders Elegant Ovals and Lawn Fawn Stitched Snowflakes were used on both cards, and the designer paper is Echo Park "The Story of Christmas".
The next card is simpler, at least in the design. This time I cut two couples, one from red card stock and one from green. Cut away their border and arranged them along the lower curve of the oval. The sentiment is from Power Poppy's "Spice it Up" set.
I made a third card with the Gingerbread Couple, too, but didn't photograph it. I've been very busy with the Christmas cards, time willing, and not all of them will get photographed. I'm really hoping I'll make so many cards I'll have some left over for next year. A girl can dream, can't she?
Sweet gingerbread wishes for happy holidays, including Thanksgiving for all who are observing it this week!

I can smell the gingerbread now!! (Oh wait, I have a scentsy going...lol), but really, these are super cute little gingerbread's, you have some wonderful dies. I love the pretty bright and very cheerful colors of the first and the bright white on the second....I think making Christmas cards is one of my favorites!! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving....oh, and I LOVE this monster little pup, he has brought such joy to my life, I am so glad we made this decision!
Both cards make me smile and think of a glass of cold milk to go with...
I love how you've made both cards different styles and it's too hard to pick a favorite. Yes, you are on quite a roll with your Christmas cards. Way to go!
I never seem able to save cards till the next year. By that time they seem too old or outdated to me and I end up making more!
cute. Gives me an idea... Have a great day
Such fun gingerbread couples and pretty Christmas designs, Leslie. I love them both equally. TFS my friend. Hugs

These are 2 fun adorable cards Leslie! Love how festive the first one is - your colouring of the gingerbread is spot on! And of course I love white cards, the sentiment is perfect! Both beautifully created. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday Leslie! Looking forward to seeing more of your beautiful creations when time permits.
Oh, I love these cards! The gingerbreads are so cute. So festive! It makes me think of baking gingerbread cookies. Have a wonderful holiday!
Now I have to confess that for some reason gingerbread people always give me the creeps but that said, both cards are terrific and so beautifully done!
These are both so adorable. I love the Echo Park paper too. My wish is that I can get some time to craft some Christmas cards. Don't have nearly enough. Happy Thanksgiving!
These are both delightful and very Christmas-y:) Good luck having cards left over for next year! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
WOW! I really don't know which I love the most! Both are just adorable & I'm not sure I could pick one. Those are darling gingerbread men! Your designs always leave me speechless!

Oh I just love how you used these gingers two ways Leslie. I love how you combined papers and even stitched on the first and the second, I just love the beautiful dies you used and have the gingers holding hands.
