The blog hop theme for November is Christmas and I wanted to bring to life a 3D project featuring the Gingerbread Boy Tag Set.

This little guy evolved from a Pumpkin Bread Gingerbread Boy to a Santa Gingerbread Man. In fact, there are two Santas bringing you a special treat for Christmas.
To begin, cut one each of the gingerbread boy die in the following cardstock colors: Peaches and Cream, Candy Apple, Whip Cream and Black Licorice.
To create a Santa, take your die-cuts and proceed as follows. On the Black Licorice die-cut, cut off the arms and legs for Santa’s gloves and boots. On the Whip Cream die-cut, cut rectangular shaped pieces off each arm (near the shoulder), off each leg (near body), at neck into the body portion and the middle part of the face. For Santa’s suit cut off the arms, feet and head from the Candy Apple die-cut. You will need to cut off the top portion of the Candy Apple head for the hat and save back one of the hands for the tip of the cap (the top portion for the cap is not pictured).
Glue the arms and legs onto the Peaches and Cream gingerbread Santa. Add the facial features onto Santa’s face. These pieces are cut from Black Licorice, Watermelon Fusion and Whip Cream.
Adhere the red suit and cap to Santa’s body.
To finish off Santa’s outfit, die-cut a curvy Whip Cream strip, three large Black Licorice circles and one large Whip Cream circle. Apply the curvy strip down the front of Santa’s suit, add buttons and puff to end of Santa’s cap. Go ahead and add the cuffs, rim of cap and neck trim to body.
Set aside the two Santas. Cut two strips of Candy Apple cardstock one at 5 3/8″ x 1 1/2″ and the other 5″ x 2 1/2″. Score both pieces at 1 3/4″ measure in from each end. On the 5″ x 2 1/2″ strip, score down each long side at 1/4″, cut out the scored tabs on the middle portion (between the two 1 3/4″ score lines). Place the 5 3/8″ x 1 1/2″ strip crosswise onto the 5″ x 2 1/2″ strip. Adhere the tabbed edges to the inside of the crosswise strip.
Adhere a Santa to each narrow end of the box, where the middle of the Santa hides the box.
The last step is to Place candy or small cookies into a cello bag and tie off with a ribbon. Place treat into holder.
How cute is this for a Christmas treat.
