Give a Crafter a Cookie Challenge: Cookies for Santa

We have a new challenge this week at "Give a Crafter a Cookie". 

Here is the image we are working with. Beautiful!

I wanted to do something fun and adorable for two sets of people. One being my husband's coworkers and the second being for SAS4Kids. I made enough of these gingerbread face cards for both! The best part was using up scraps and using Christmas/Winter embellishments that were trapped in a drawer somewhere. 

The face is two files combined from My Scrap Chick.  I used
the smile from a snowman face to brighten up the card. I didn't want to
send a "sad" face to kids in hospitals.

I did alter the smile and eyes by using the shadow feature on SCAL3.

Bigger eyes are easier to work with. Also, I cut the smile out once and

traced it with a black pen to save me the headache of working

with a thin cut (and using a bunch of extra black card stock).

Supplies:

-AC Brown Sugar Cardstock

-AC White Cardstock

-Various Winter and Christmas scrap paper

-EP Holidays solid paper

-Various Christmas embellishments from Hobby Lobby

-Twine

-Recollections Glitter Glue (on the white)

-Chalk

-White Gel Pen

-Charcoal Grey ink (I didn't want to shade with black = too harsh)

-Stamp from My Craft Spot

-Embossing powder (on the stamp)

Tools for the eyes - top secret!
