Heartfelt Greetings to one of my personal crafting focused blogs! This post will highlight the gingerbread house inspired Christmas card showing 2 peppermint candies and a text sticker saying 'love you'. Love + Candy are the theme requirements for Heart's Quest Challenge Blog's new Love Theme #9! 



Some design notes:

1. plaid and green tree print are from Cozy Christmas paper pad by Fancy Pants Designs

2. satin white sheen paper, and 3 different colored solid cardstocks, gems = my stash

3. three green and 1 pink enamel dots = Craft Consortium

4. gold metallic foil text stickers = bought from Paper Wishes website

5. chipboard die-cuts are from my stash; very old; I've hoarded for about 12 years!!!
