Sweet & Festive: My Gingerbread Card with Polkadoodles

 Hey crafty friends! 

I’ve got a festive little project to share today that’s full of gingerbread charm - and it was so much fun to make! If you love cozy holiday vibes and sweet handmade touches, this one’s for you.

So, I started with the Cute Gingerbread 6 x 6" Emboss-Ink Stencil from Polkadoodles. It’s absolutely adorable! I used it to create the background with Distress Oxide inks—I went for warm reds and oranges to give it that glowing, Christmassy feel. The stencil adds these lovely embossed gingerbread men and wavy lines that give the card a playful texture and warmth.

The gingerbread guy in the center? He’s from the Christmas Vintage Bells stamp set, also from Polkadoodles. I stamped him, colored him in, and gave him a little dimension by popping him up in the middle. He’s just too cute not to be the star of the show!

And to finish it off, I added a sentiment strip that says "IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR." Because honestly, it really is, isn’t it?

Hope this gives you a bit of inspiration for your own holiday crafting. Let me know what you’re making - I’d love to hear!
