Day 10 at Beccy's Place - I is for Icing . . .

. . . icing the tasty gingerbread man!

I'm playing along with the

Ninth Annual Month Of Holiday Cards

at

Beccy's Place

I'm not colouring at the moment but I am working on Christmas craft projects for creative little hands around our neighbourhood ... the endless months of Covid-19 lockdowns has brought our community much closer and I look forward to sharing more crafty adventures with them over the coming weekends and school holidays now that restrictions have eased.

Beccy's prompt for Day 10 is the letter "I"

(Beccy's post with "I" inspiration words and

gorgeous icicles card to inspire is HERE)

My "I" kids Christmas activity is a crayon colouring card.

This is my third crayon colouring card design this year,

you can see the other ones via the links at the end of this post.

Introducing the Joyful Gingerbread

a cute FREE digital stamp from Beccy's Place.

All that icing is calling for some tasty colours.

I used a cut file for the crayon colouring card (details and link below), enlarged it to 5 1/2" square front panel (1/2" spine and 5 1/2" square back panel), added a fun wavy matting layer (details and link below) for both the front image panel and for the crayon holder inside.  I removed the perforated cuts from the crayon holder (I found that it was easily torn by little hands removing the crayons when I last made them and hope this will make them stronger) and added the crayon holder to the inner wavy matting layer for inside the card.

I opened the Joyful Gingerbread digital stamp in Silhouette Studio, sized him to fit nicely on the wavy panel for the front of the card.  I added a sweet and tasty sentiment, printed the image panels and cut with my Silhouette Cameo.  I cut the card bases and crayon holder layers, burnishing the folds with a bone folder then adhered all the layers in place.  It was fun choosing the crayons to go inside and I know that little hands will enjoy colouring the icing on these tasty Christmas cuties.
