12/24/2023 Update: Favorite of the Week at Splitcoast Stampers!
Once the children in our family become teenagers, it's gift cards or cash instead of a wrapped gift. It's now down to the wire and I realized I was short one Christmas card for the cash gift for my 13-year-old nephew. I don't often use ephemera and stickers on my cards because I like to create the elements myself, but I had Christmas paper and accessories on my desk so decided to make something quickly.
My nephew enjoys learning to cook with his mom, so this suite of Gingerbread Christmas paper worked well for a cooking theme. A cut-apart was trimmed and backed with gum-drop patterned paper, then adhered to the red card base, adding a strip of green plaid paper behind the cut-apart. The cute garland of gingerbread cookies was added across the top of the card and a green gumdrop was adhered on the lower left.
The inside of the card was lined with a panel of dark green cardstock and then another panel in white. A sticker with "Official Cookie Tester" was added along with a Merry Christmas sentiment. This was a quick and easy card but I'm sure my nephew will be more interested in the cash than in the card making!
