Inspire.Create Stamping Challenges Challenge #106

Hello and welcome to another Inspire.Create.Challenge. I am Karen Farquhar from Australia. This week the design team have been set a colour challenge using the Stampin' Up! colours Cinnamon Cider, Crumb Cake and Early Espresso. 

This colour palette is not a combination I would usually work with but I have dug deep and this is what I have come up with.

Using the Gingerbread & Peppermint Suite from the July-December Mini Catalogue I have pulled out the Cinnamon Cider coloured patterned paper from the Gingerbread & Peppermint Designer Series Paper pack and designed my cards to replicate the frosted gingerbreads we associate with Christmas.

For my first card I have stamped out the patterned star in the stamp set on basic white paper to create a piped icing sugar gingerbread.

The second card I have used my Blending Brush, Whisper White Craft ink and a die cut star from the Gingerbread Dies as a template to create the more subtle effect of icing sugar sprinkled onto the ginger bread.

This next card is my favourite a fun z fold card. The gingerbread shapes were stamped directly onto the card front panel.

Measurements are as follows:

Crumb Cake card stock 51/2" Scored at 21/8" and 41/4"

Early Espresso card stock 4" x 5" for first layer

Basic White card tock 23/4" x 5" for front stamped panel

Basic White 4 x 51/4" for the inside stamped panel. 

And just for fun I have created some little sugar sprinkled  gingerbread shapes which would make delightful gift tags or just hanging decorations.
