Are you doing some (or a lot of) baking these days? I just made some frosted sugar cookies for a neighborhood gathering the other night. We took our beach chairs and sat on the sidewalk across the street from an amazing house light display that one neighbor sets up each year, synched to music. We brought treats to share and BYOB beverages...and it just happened to be chilly here that evening. I made hot apple chai (spiced apple cider with chai syrup). Christmas in a cup!
Yesterday I saw that the Inspired By Challenge #IB367 was about Gingerbread. I immediately thought of this cute die set (Sizzix Christmas Minis) and sat down to make a card today that hopefully gives a decorated cookie feel. I love candy dots on cookies so I added Tim Holtz Idea-ology droplets to the card. The sentiment is Spellbinders Stay Snuggly Stamp and die sets using Altenew Obsidian black ink pad.
Here is the finished project after much die cutting! I do want to make some gingerbread cookies now but I'll wait until our daughter gets here so we can decorate them together.
Here's to a fun holiday season and lots of good food before the dieting starts in two weeks!
Ha ha!
Thanks for stopping by,
Carol
