Pretty Pink Posh - Gingerbread Holder Shaker Card

Hi there,

I'm so happy to be back with this new holiday card showcasing a mix and match of Pretty Pink Posh items, including some from the September 2025 Release. Each release is always amazing and extra special, but I have to say that this one is in the top 5 of my all-time favorites! The gingerbread line is sooo cute!!

For this card, I started off with the card base, cut a large Eyelet Rectangle panel out of light kraft cardstock, and created a fun gingerbread pattern using the Layered Gingerbread stencils along with white pigment ink and oxide inks: vintage photo, ground espresso, candied apple and worn lipstick. I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and used a slim brush to add splatters all over the panel, I did the same with liquid stardust for sparkles, and then with vintage photo oxide ink for contrast. When my panel was dry, I attached it to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches red panel using 1mm foam tape, and then to a matching card base using liquid glue.

Next I worked on my Winter Mug shaker, and built it this way:

1. I cut a whole Winter Mug out of a poinsettia pattern paper and cut an opening out of it using a Birthday Mug Additions die,

2. I cut a whole mug out of acetate and attached it at the back of my poinsettia mug using liquid glue,

3. Still at the back of my mug, I attached foam strips all around the opening and on the rest of the mug as well,

4. I poured some Holiday Gingerbread mix and Candy Cane shaker breads on the acetate,

5. I cut a whole Winter Mug out of a light pink pattern paper, added white splatters to it, and once dry, attached it to the foam strips to close my mug shaker.

To complete the base of the mug, I used the Winter Mug die again to cut the handle out of pink cardstock, added matching distress ink to the edges, splatters of that same ink and white splatters as well. I also cut the "hot chocolate beverage" piece out of dark brown cardstock using another Winter Mug die, added a bit of matching distress ink to the edges, as well as white splatters, and then I attached both of those pieces to the mug using liquid glue.

Next I cut all the bits and pieces out of white cardstock, colored cardstock and pattern paper, and as always, here is a detailed list of the die sets I used: • Gingerbread Holder - gingerbread man, button, smile, icing decorative pieces • Gingerbread Mugs - small whipped cream, small marshmallows, candy canes • Christmas Bucket Additions - gummies, peppermint candies • Valentine Holder Additions - heart cheeks • Big Valentine Cupcake - large whipped cream • Winter Mug - mug, large marshmallows • Beautiful Bows - bow.

To the white pieces I added liquid stardust splatters, to the pattern paper pieces I added white splatters, and to the colored cardstock pieces I applied matching distress ink to the edges, added white splatters and matching distress ink splatters. To some of them, such as the gummies, heart cheeks, candies or marshmallows, I added liquid stardust splatters, and I applied glossy accents to the white icing decorative details on the Gingerbread Holder.

Next I attached everything to my card, starting with the Gingerbread Holder and its accessories, next the Winter Mug and its candies, making sure to lift the gingerbread man's arm to tuck the mug's handle under it, just like that little guy was holding the mug.

For the greeting, I used the Large Merry Shadow dies. I cut the word "Merry" out of red cardstock twice and stuck the words on top of each other with liquid glue. I cut the shadow piece out of vellum, stuck my red "Merry" to it using liquid glue again, attached the whole piece to my card using foam squares and applied glossy accents to the word "Merry" to make it super shiny. Next I white heat embossed "Merry Christmas" from Christmas Banner Greetings on light pink cardstock, cut it into a wavy banner using a Banner Greetings 1 die, and attached that banner at the bottom of my card using foam squares again.

Next I added the final details: a peppermint confetti from the Holiday Gingerbread mix in the middle of each peppermint candy, a white heart confetti from the Valentine Hearts mix on the bow, and finally I created a frosty effect here and there all over the card using opaque white grit paste and a brush.
