If you haven’t made your Christmas cards yet or you are looking for ideas for another year, this is one that I had a fun time creating. It’s based on a fold from one of my team swaps back in August from Michelle Andrade. (Click here and scroll to the bottom to see her card.) I love how she folded a 1/2 sheet of cardstock to make the front layer.
I used the Frosted Gingerbread Stamp Sets, Gingerbread Dies, and Gingerbread & Peppermint Designer Paper. But did you notice that my frosted cookie is not gingerbread? Just by changing the color of the cookie base piece, you can dictate the flavor of your cookies. So if you want to make a frosted sugar cookie, maybe use So Saffron for your cardstock. (The cooling rack and spatula are from the coordinating Memories & More Card Pack. I just added them in the photo because they are so cute. But you don’t need this product to make the card.)
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.

Directions
- Die-cut the chocolate cookie and the candy circles. Add Adhesive Sheets to the back side of the larger white scrap and the red scraps. Die-cut the candy swirls and cookie frosting pieces. Then layer all these pieces to form the full cookie and candy pieces.
- Fold the green piece at each score line and use the Bone Folder to reinforce the creases. Adhere the skinny end down to create a z-fold piece. Add this in the center of the Real Red base piece. Then add the glitter strips from the red Ombré Specialty Paper along the sides and the designer paper strips to the front.
- Punch the end of the white strip, stamp the sentiment, and add to the front along with the cookie using Dimensionals.
- Stamp the white 4″ x 4″ piece with the inside sentiment making sure it is in the middle or a little higher. Stamp the candy images in the upper left. (I cut one of the small candies from the set of five to have a separate single stamp. But you could also just be careful and only ink up one of them.) Add this layer to the inside.
- Attach the die-cut candies to the lower right. Stamp a small one nearby.
- And then use your Take Your Pick Tool to add the gems in the lower right and on the cookie.
If you like to add photos to your Christmas cards, you could add one in the middle that measures 2-1/2″ x 4″.
