For Day 11 of my 12 Days of Christmas Craft Series, I will show you how to make a candy bar slider box. This box was made using the small TT Box from The Stamps of Life. I put a small candy bar inside. These boxes are a perfect for any occasion, but I used them here for Christmas-themed boxes.

For Day 7 of my 12 Days of Christmas Craft Series, I will show you how to make this Christmas themed slimline card using so many fun products from The Stamps of Life. Some things I love about the Christmas season are gingerbread and snowmen and this card has both! I just love this cute train scene on this card.

The Stamps of Life October 2020 card kit was released on October 15 and I’m excited to share with you the 10 cards that I made with this kit. This kit corresponds to the monthly stamp and die set called SnowGlobe2Stamp as well as the add-on set, Extras4SnowGlobe. Here’s a picture of everything that is included in the October Card Kit Club.
The October card kit is called the “Peace” collection. The color pallet for this month is Cherry, Cranberry, Mint Chip, Ocean, Seaglass, Midnight, Cloud, Gingersnap, and Vanilla. This kit comes with 12 cardstock sheets — one in each color plus four Vanilla cardstock sheets.
The petite paper pad is the Peace Collection and comes with 24 double-sided sheets of patterned paper. It also includes two sheets of the snow globe die cuts, gingerbread houses, and Christmas trees, all of which can be die cut using the shadow dies from the Snowglobe2Stamp die set. In total, there are four snow globe die cuts, four gingerbread house die cuts, and four Christmas tree die cuts. I love how these die cuts can be used to make quick and easy cards.
The card kit also comes with a Peace word die, a snowflake die, epoxy dots, chipboard sentiment pieces, two ribbon, a sentiment stamp set, a pack of pom poms, idea card, and a set of envelopes.
As a special bonus, The Stamps of Life is including two freebie die sets in every card kit through December 2020. My two freebies were the Ornament Two Dies ($16.41 value) and the Christmas Discs ($16.41 value).

Today on my blog I am featuring three projects that I created using the Gingerbread Man Fold-it die set from The Stamps of Life.
Watch my video tutorial for all three projects here:
Project 1
For the first project, I created a gingerbread man fold-it card. A fold-it card is an A2 sized card shaped like a gingerbread man. It can easily fit into an A2 sized envelope. You can either have the card open at the top or on the left side. I chose mine to open from the top. The die set also has several die pieces that you can use to decorate the gingerbread man. Some of the dies include a face, clothing, icing, and more.
The card stock I used for this card includes ginger snap, powdered sugar, and strawberry. I used a piece of patterned paper from the Joyful collection paper pad for the blue plaid overalls. I added epoxy dots for the buttons. I inked the edges of the smaller gingerbread die cut with gingersnap ink. I think this added a nice touch. It makes it look like a toasted cookie!
Since this is a fold-it card, I decorated the front and the back and I think it turned out super cute!
For my next project, I created a gingerbread gate fold card. I used the largest die in the set and cut it out of gingersnap card stock. I used the second largest die and cut another piece of gingersnap card stock. Again, I used gingersnap ink and ink-blended the edges to make it look slightly toasted. I adhered those together and then added his clothing and icing. The card stock is gingersnap, powdered sugar, and spearmint. The patterned paper is from the Joyful collection paper pad. I fussy cut the peppermints and adhered them to the front of the pockets. I also used foam adhesive to add three as buttons.
I used a gate fold card die to make the card base and adhered the gingerbread man to the front left opening. I used spearmint cardstock for the bow tie and pockets. The patterned paper I used is from the Joyful collection paper pad. I fussy cut the peppermints from one of the pieces of paper and adhered them to the pockets. I added foam adhesive to the three peppermints that I used as buttons.
For the inside of the card, I used a piece of powdered sugar cardstock. I stamped the peppermints as shown. The inside of the peppermints were stamped with strawberry ink. The Merry Christmas sentiment is from the ChristmasTree2stamp and was stamped with spearmint ink.
For my third project, I made a treat box using the Gingerbread man fold-it die set as well as the box-it die set.
I die cut and decorated two gingerbread men, one for the front of the box and one for the back of the box. Both gingerbread men were decorated identically.
I also used the box-it die which I cut with gingersnap card stock to match the gingerbread men. I connected the box-it die cut to both gingerbread men, added some grass filling, and some candy canes.
Today I am sharing a Christmas mini album that I created which features all products from The Stamps of Life including papers, stamps, and dies. I just love how it turned out. To see a video walk-through of the entire album, watch my YouTube video. The link is posted below.
