I've been sitting on this stamp set since it was released several months ago! And, decided it was time to bring it out! I saw this elegant sample and knew I had to do it! I LOVE how it turned out! It pairs the stamp set with the gorgeous Season of Elegance DSP in the Annual Catalog! The jar and lid is a punch that also coordinates with another online stamp set - Sweet Jar! Oh, and how did I get the individual "gingerbread man" - stamp the full jar "filler" and fussy cut it out! This sample also gave me the chance to use those little Peppermints, again!

- Crumb Cake: 4 1/4" x 11" (1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE), 1/4 piece (base), 3 1/2" square (circle die cut)

To Make this Card:
- Mount 2 Gold Foil pieces to outside edges of card base, leaving 1/8" border. Add DSP on top. (this saves the pretty paper). Set aside.
- Score long sheet at 2" - 3 3/4" from each end. Crease well with Bone Folder creating a Double Gate Fold.
- Adhere Gold Foil pieces to appropriate areas. Then add DSP.
- Place Tear Tape onto back of Double Gate Fold piece. Attach to base between DSP pieces.
- Next, die cut decorative circle from the Spotlight on Nature Dies in Crumb Cake . Also die cut the "radiating circle" from White. Set aside.
- Stamp "jar" in black ink onto scrap of White. Also stamp on inside white piece, making sure you have the piece going the right way.
- Next, stamp "gingerbread" layer in Crumb Cake into both jars. Clean stamp, and then carefully ink up the half of stamp with "gingerbread" onto scraps - 3x to fussy cut.
- Next, add red "detail" to jars. (I colored the tie and buttons with a Blend).
- Punch full jar with coordinating punch.
- Also punch out 2 jar "lids". Adhere one to full jar, and add the other, inside as shown and trim even with cut edge of inside layer.
- Die cut "banner" from Stylish Shapes Dies. Cut in half and set aside.
- Ink up only half of the sentiment in black ink - masking out the bottom half. Stamp onto White circle as shown.
- Next, adhere "jar" to White circle.
- Fussy cut the 3 "gingerbread men". Adhere one to circle, as shown.
- Now, evenly add the 2 halves of the Gold Foil banner to the back of the White circle.
- Then, add to Crumb Cake circle.
- Next, add Crumb Cake circle to the left "half" of the Double Gate Fold.
- Finish inside by adhering the White layer, with the stamped jar. Add 2 of the cut "gingerbread men" and mask and stamp the rest of the sentiment in Real Red ink.
- Finish the outside with those cute little Peppermints!
