A Gingerbread Birthday

 Happy Monday Friends!

Shew . . . annual HS craft show was this past weekend and even though it was fun & very successful, I'm glad it's over!  LOL   Getting too old for all that packing, unpacking & standing LOL  But, of course I paid for another year so I will stay busy making sure I have enough cards & etc for next year ... what else would I do with my time?  Clean house?  Nah ... what fun is that!  LOL 

 This morning I've created a card with a couple challenge blogs in mind ... here's what I've created!

 The challenges that inspired me are . . .

AAA Birthday Game #91 - Small & Dainty (ends 11/30)

Dragonfly Dreams November Challenge - Embossing (ends 11/30) 

 

For my embossing, I've used an older 2D Crafts-too (CTFD4025) 'Frame Winter' embossing folder.  For my small & dainty element, I've gone to my 'Doni Collection' . . . I knew I'd find something in her stamps/dies as she loved creating with smaller elements.  And, I found a wonderfully fun Honey Bee 'Ginger Bread House w/add ons' stamp & dies set.  I used TH Lost Shadow ink to stamp these cuties onto a scrap of SU Chocolate Chip card stock then reinforced the white lines using a white gelly roll pen before die cutting.

 Inside view . . .
