I love to spoil my Dad at Christmas; he’s done so much for me that I want to show him how much it meant to me. So each year I try and make each gift just a little extra special with gift wrap and hand made tags that can be kept as keepsakes.

Using Alice’s Gingerbread Lane die set from Honeybee’s Christmas 2024 release, I used basic Kraft cardstock stock, inked some pieces with distress oxide inks to resemble sugar waffle cone roof, and pink glitter paper for icing. Confections just aren’t complete without sprinkles so I added some Crystal Effects to give them and the cherry a shiny glossy finish.

Jennifer McGuire has inspired me to make so many shaped cards lately, I took it one step further and created a 3D mini card / tag to top my parents Christmas gifts this year.

The focal image is from the ever amazing Honey Bee stamps: Lovely Vintage Reindeer. Honey Bee provides layering guides for all their layering sets, so it was remarkably easy to assemble.

I created a mini card base with the largest tag for from a Mama Elephant set that I had in my stash, and filled the background with foliage from Winter Greenery

Honeybee – Baking Spirits Bright with Hoosier Cabinet Accessories

This is probably the easiest Christmas card I have ever been able to mass produce.

The wreath is actually from the limited edition paper pack, so all I really needed was the die cut accessories, all from the Hoosier cabinet die set.

Most of the kitchen ware I cut from white cardstock and inked with spun sugar & worn lipstick distress oxide inks. Gingerbread were cut from Kraft cardstock; and all were finished with a white gel pen to add a bit more dimension.

This card was part of the Honeybee Crop & Create workshop, and I ended up making a batch of these for an order placed by a work colleague. Best part is they are mail friendly as there isn’t a lot of dimension, especially if you choose not to add any foam tape to the base layer or accessories.

I ordered an obscene amount of the paper packs so that I could make these again for next Christmas!
