I made this card for my youngest son's crossing guard. I always make her a card with a STOP sign (like the one she holds as we cross the road). The gingerbread man and house are from Stretch Your Imagination. I used Going Places for the STOP sign, welding a rectangle from George and Basic Shapes on the shadow to make a hand-held sign. I ran the top mat through my Cuttlebug using a snowflake folder (which certainly has been getting a lot of use these days!). I added some pen dots, glitter, some snowflakes (cut with a Martha Stewart border punch), a gem and a ribbon. I finished things off with some EK Success photo corners.
This week's challenge at
Bitten By the Bug 2 is to use a gingerbread man. What perfect timing for me with this card!

Love your card!
Super cute Kate! I am sure she loves getting such a personalized card!
Sooooooooo adorable Kate. This one made me SMILE. Love it. Have a Very Merry Christmas! :) :)
I know your crossing guard is going to love it. It is wonderful and I love how you always give her a card with a stop sign...sounds like a tradition.
I just started using my Gypsy (and finally figuring some of it out) and would love to know how to weld. Any tips?

Thanks Georgiana! I just sent you an email with this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dytxf7VNF0k. It's not my video, but is a great tutorial on welding with the Gypsy. I hope it helps - and I look forward to seeing some of your welded creations!
Hi Kate - thanks for your lovely comment on my cards - the tree shaped sentiment inside the cards is from a set by Kaiser Craft - not sure if you can get them in Canada....
Love your gingerbread crossing card - how clever. Your son's crossing guard is going to LOVE it....
Hugs xx
What a lovely thought giving a card to your crossing guard.....and your card is so cute she is going to love it.
In Australia we call them "Lolly pop ladies" or men. LOL! (I just thought you might have a laugh at that)
Oh Kate, this is aweseome! I love this little guy! Great, great job. So darn cute!
